Can we talk about my eyeliner breakthrough?

I always thought winged eyeliner was too much work for little payoff. Most people I know love it. I practiced hard and finally got it right last weekend. Used it for a night out and felt amazing. Maybe my old view was off.

What kind of brush or pen did you end up using? I saw a tip once about resting your elbow on a table for stability, and it was a total game changer for me. That awesome feeling when it finally clicks makes all the practice worth it.

Have you tried the elbow trick on vertical surfaces too? I used to think grip was everything until I focused on where my arm made contact. Letting my elbow anchor changed how much my wrist would shake, especially with softer brushes. Now I reach for a basic round sable brush more than anything because the control is finally there. That click you mentioned really is the best part, when the line just does what you want.
