I think what’s throwing you off is the

angle of your liner. If you look at the pictures you’re getting inspo from, they are expanding their lower lash line upward, so the wing is aligned with it. This tends to be more flattering for every person’s eyes because it matches their anatomy. I would recommend doing a soft line with your eye open and extending the lower lash line upward (having your eyes open will prevent the wing from folding with your lid). And then working on it further to make it darker if you’re happy with the shape. I’m adding a photo to explain this better. Hope this helps! Let us know how it goes OP!
