Eyeliners

We all know that eyeliner is one among all makeups that could make us look more fresh and different.. But there are so may types of eyeliners that we have to know before we decide what to buy and what to use. We all want products that suit us the most and give us the final look that we want to achieve without getting any regret for buying the wrong product..

I usually use black eyeliner, a turning pencil and pen brush liquid type. < click to see what i mean with turning pencil and pen brush liquid type.

We all familiar with gel, pencil and liquid liner type.. but there are more types out there.. Every type of eye liners have their ow pros and cons, so, it's better to choose the one that suits you and your style more..

1. Cake Liner
    This eyeliner type looks like compact powder, and must be used like a watercolor powder

      Pros : - You can choose and make your own boldness and thickness line
                - Good for vintage and natural look
      Cons: - Troublesome, cause you have to have some water or toner with you if you wanna use it..
                - Not travel-friendly

2. Liquid Liner
    This liner is the most used among makeup artist. The lasting power depends on the products ingredients.

 

   Pros: - Best boldness among other types

            - Thickness can be regulated as you please

            - Travel-friendly

            - Quick dry (5 seconds)

   Cons: - Need lots of lots of practice and stable hand

             - Boldness can't be regulated (except if your liner is drying already, LOL)

             - Hard to use for begginers

             - Might give a 'thick makeup' look

             - Can't be used for waterline

3. Gel Liner

    This liner is also the most used among makeup artist.

   Pros: - Good for smokey eye look

            - Best lasting power than other liners

            - Boldness and thickness depends on how much product you take and how thick the brush is

            - Can be used for both waterline and eyelid

   Cons: - Easy to coagulate

        

4. Pencil Liner

    The simplest eyeliner ever.

    Pros: - Easy to use for begginers

             - Good to use for waterline

             - Cheap

    Cons: - Not good enough for lining your eyelid

              - Easy to smudge ( may turns you into raccoon)

              - Not good for people with sensitive eye, it may caused irritation

              - Easy to break, and always break when sharpen

              - I don't and will never recommend this sharpen pencil type ever..

5. Pen Liner / Pen Brush Liner

    Same as liquid liner,only different form

6. Eyeshadow

    Black or dark brown color can be used for natural eyeliner! Use a thin brush to apply.. 

    But never expect the eyeshadow be as bold as eyeliner. ;) Be careful, the powder may fall to your eyeball.

    You can use eyeshadow to make a guide line before you line your eyes too.

REMEMBER: 

- Lining your eyes without thigh lining will make your makeup looks un-natural.

- Put on some eye primer, eye shadow, or face powder to prevent the line from smudging

- Check your eye line every 2 hours, clean the smudged line with a Q-tip

- Make sure your  line is tidy and have the same length for your both eyes

GOOD LUCK ;)
