Ladies Fashions: Different Types Of Eye Liners

Types of Eyeliners

Eyeliners are probably the most popular makeup item used by women world over. They help in highlighting and defining the eyes. By doing so, the eyeliners enable us to downplay other facial features that are less attractive. Today the market is full of different brands, types and colours of eyeliners.

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.1.Brush eyeliners come in a bottle which has a brush applicator.2.Felt or Pen are True to there name they are shaped like pen. They dry much faster than brush liquid liner and are much easy to use.

You need to have a very steady hand and patience if you want to apply them. Liquid liners are difficult to smudge. They have a more shiny finish as compared to pencil eyeliners. Because of the difficult application they are not recommended for beginners. They are great for dramatic makeup looks. To avoid eye infections replace your liquid liner every three to six months.

Pencil eyeliners:

As the name suggest these come in the shape of pencils. When choosing pencil eyeliner, look for cream eyeliner to ensure an easier application. These eyeliners are suitable for both top and bottom lash lines. Eye Kohl and Mechanical Twist Pencils are its two forms. Eye kohl pencils have a softer and creamier consistency than traditional pencil eyeliners. They are easier to blend and smudge. On the other hand Mechanical Twist Pencils are not as creamier as eye kohl pencils. You are also relieved from the pain of sharpening pencils again and again if you use these twist pencils. For better application of liners use little strokes instead of one long line. The pencil should preferably be sharpened prior to each use. These eyeliners last for about three years before there is a risk of infection. They come in waterproof forms too.

Gel or Cream eyeliners:

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 eyeshadows.These are Very creamy and easy to smudge and great for smokey eyes.
