Types of Eyeliners and How to Use Them

Hi friends..today article is about types of eye liners..hope it may help...

If you are just beginning to wear makeup, you may be confused by the many types and brands of eyeliners out there. Depending on what look you want to achieve, you will want to use different eyeliners to get that desired result. Listed below are the examples of eyeliners I know of, and the most common ways to apply them

Pencil Eyeliner :

This is the most commonly used liner as it is very easy to manage and control. Pencil eyeliners are just like any other pencil that you sharpen when needed. To apply, you simply “draw” on the line close to your lashline. 
If you would like to have a color on your waterline, these are generally the best type to use. You DO need to look for ones that are ophthalmologist tested in order to prevent irritation in the eye.

Pros:

• Very easy to control.
• Comes in a wide range of colors.
• Very common and easy to find in every brand of makeup.

Cons:

• Unless you sharpen really well, it does not provide as crisp a line

Liquid Eyeliner

This is the most difficult to apply as it is very bold and slick. Liquid eyeliner generally comes in a tube with a brush that pulls out with the liquid on it. This is the most difficult liner to apply, so I recommend trying other types before using liquid liner. 
You need a steady hand, and should apply by brushing short strokes close to the lash line. Start at the middle of the eye, directly above the upper lashes, and SLOWLY brush across the lash line. Then, start at the inner part of the eye and continue to brush until you reach the middle of your eye that you began with.

Pros:

• Great for Arabic makeup, cat eyes, and dramatic looks.
• Provides a well-defined, thin line which makes the eyelashes look thicker.

Cons:

• Very difficult to apply well.
• Takes a steady hand, patience, and practice practice practice!

Eye liner pen :       I feel this is the best way to apply for upper lash line 

Gel/Cream Eye-liner

This liner has been used more by professional makeup artists than the mainstream public, but it is becoming more common. Cream eyeliners generally come in a pot that you can dip an angled brush, fine tip brush, or even a pencil eyeliner in to get the product out. It can even be used as a creamy base underneath eye shadows.

If you use a brush to apply, you will need a slightly steady hand as it is creamy and glides pretty easily. Since this liner takes a bit longer to dry, it is great for smudging along the lash line.

Pros: 

• Very creamy and easy to smudge.
• Great for smokey eyes.

Cons:

• Not as portable as a pencil eyeliner.
