Start with the flick and draw it with the eye open, as if you draw it with the eye closed, then it will be at a funny angle when the eye is open.
Here's a step-by-step guide. For ease, I used a Liquid Define Liner by Eye of Horus (£13), as it's like drawing with a pen.
1. With the eye half open, turn your head so you can see the side of the face you're working on in the mirror (i.e turn your head to left/right)
2. Draw a line from the outer of the corner of the eye towards the end of your eyebrow, but stop after just a few millimetres. This line acts as the bottom of the flick. If you are unsure of the angle, take a straight, long object (a pen or pencil will work) and line up from the nose to the outer corner of the eye and use this as a guide.
3. Draw a line from the tip of the flick to the inner corner of the eye, about where the lashes stop. I tend not to go all the way into the tear duct, as this can make your eyes look closer together. It should look something like this:
4. Fill in the gap between the line and the lashes using the liquid liner.
5. For a fully framed look, take the liner underneath the eye. Again, start at the flick and drag the pen below the bottom lashes. Try and keep the line nice and thin, getting thinner towards the inner corner.
