The eyeliner
market is extremely saturated with many brands offering a
variety of options in terms of color, texture, and type. Most
companies offer pencil, liquid, felt tip and cake eyeliners.
The tissue of the eye area is extremely delicate, therefore
when choosing an eyeliner pencil be sure to select one that
is soft enough to glide easily. This is one aspect of makeup
application that not only takes practice but an extremely
steady hand.
Pencil eyeliners tend to be quite popular because they are
easier to control and also can give the look that you want
to achieve. Liquid eyeliners on the other hand require more
practice. They create precise lines once applied with enough
control.
The new kid on the block - felt tip liners – are quite
similar to liquid eyeliners in consistency and offers the
user a bit more control. Cake eyeliners, traditionally used
by professionals are now becoming very popular.
A new trend
is to use eyeshadows as eyeliners. The advantage of this is
that you have so many more colors with which to line.
For wide set eyes, emphasize the inner corners of the eyes.
For close set eyes, emphasize the outer corners, keeping the
inner corners highlighted. For drooping eyes, turn the outer
end of the liner in an upward direction.
