What is eyeliner?
An eyeliner is a make-up product to apply a line under or above your eyes. By using eyeliner you give your eyes more expression. You can make the lines as thick and dark as you want. An eyeliner is usually used in combination with mascara. There are different types of eyeliner for sale - for example, you have liquid eyeliners, gel eyeliners and sticks. When you think of an eyeliner, you quickly think of a black line, but eyeliners are also available in all kinds of different colors. This way you can experiment even more!
How to apply eyeliner?
Almost everyone knows the struggles of applying eyeliner, but what is the best way to apply your eyeliner?
It is often thought that you can apply a beautiful eyeliner by pulling your eyelid tight or keeping your eyelid closed, but this is not the case. When you open your eyes afterwards, the eyeliner has almost disappeared and it no longer looks tight because it disappears into the fine lines. Therefore, keep your eyes open and follow the natural shape of the eyelid as much as possible.
First, draw a very thin line above your eye. Start in the inner corner of your eye, try to apply the eyeliner as close to the lash line as possible. Try not to put too much pressure on the brush right away, otherwise the line will become very thick right away. Once you have drawn the first line, you can then decide for yourself whether you want to make it thicker.
You can apply your eyeliner both before and after your eyeshadow. We do recommend that if you are not yet an expert, you apply your eyeliner first, a mistake is then easier to correct.
What is the difference between liquid eyeliner and gel eyeliner?
Also with eyeliners you have all different variants which of course does not make the choice easier. But what is actually the difference between a liquid and gel eyeliner? Are you curious about that? Then we have explained it for you below:
Liquid Eyeliner:Applying a liquid eyeliner requires some concentration. However, you can draw very precise lines. The disadvantage or perhaps an advantage of a liquid eyeliner is that it dries quickly, making it difficult to correct mistakes, but if you can draw a line very well, this may be an advantage. However, it stays in place for a very long time. Example of a liquid eyeliner: Maybelline Lasting Drama Liquid Eyeliner .
Gel Eyeliner:this requires a little less concentration than a liquid eyeliner. Gel eyeliner often comes in a jar and is often a bit creamy. You often need a separate eyeliner brush for this. A gel eyeliner has a very thick structure, which makes it easy to draw dark lines. A gel eyeliner also dries less quickly, which makes it easy to touch up if something goes wrong.Example of a Gel Eyeliner: Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner .
Pen eyeliner : super handy if you want to quickly create a wing. But also ideal if you want to apply a subtle line above your eye. The pen often comes in several thicknesses and becomes thicker from a thin point, just like a pencil. An eyeliner pen is also liquid, but is divided by the felt tip. A pen eyeliner is often less opaque than a gel eyeliner or liquid eyeliner and can fade a bit faster. Example of an eyeliner pen: L'Oreal Paris Superliner Perfect Slim Eyeliner .
Eyeliner : not really an eyeliner, but can definitely be used as an eyeliner. You can't create a tight, precise wing with an eyeliner. It is very nice with a smokey eye, because you can blur or blend the eyeliner with a brush. This gives the eyeliner an extra nice transition with the eyeshadow for a killer smokey eye look! Example of eyeliner: Max Factor Kohl Crayon Pencil .
Are there also waterproof eyeliners?
Yes, definitely! Waterproof products ensure that the product stays in place when it gets wet. Perfect for long, hot summer days! Waterproof eyeliners come in different varieties, such as pencils with a thick and thin point. TheBenefit They're Real Xtreme Precision Liner Waterproof is highly recommended, with this your eyeliner won't fade when it gets wet.
How can I make my eyeliner even tighter?
Putting a nice line above your eyes is hard enough, but how can you make the line extra beautiful? We have a few tips for you below:
- Always start with the line of the most difficult eye, this way you can more easily get the lines even.
- Everyone has a different eye shape, so make sure you find the line that suits your eye.
- Are you still in the beginning stages? You can also start by putting a few dots above your eye and connect them later.
- Use concealer to correct the line.
- Last but probably most important, just practice a lot! Practice makes perfect!
Which eyeliner suits my eyes best?
Every pair of eyes has the perfect eyeliner - to give your eyes beautiful definition. But for this, it is useful if you know what suits your eyes best. That is why we have listed all the different options:
Round eyes
You can make your round eyes look even bigger if you extend the shape a bit more in width. You do this by applying a beautiful, long wing to the outside of your eye corners - also known as the cat eye . For this we recommend the L'Oreal Matte Signature Liner . This stem is extra short, fits firmly in the hand and ensures that you can easily apply the perfect wing. The eyeliner is waterproof so that the perfect wing stays in place all day long.
Almond shaped eyes
You accentuate your almond-shaped eyes if you make the line thicker from the inside out. So make sure you don't use too much eyeliner on the inside of your eyelid (near your nose). Start with a thin line on the inside of your eyes and make it thicker as you work your way to the outside of your eyelids. The L'Oreal Perfect Slim Eyeliner is ideal for this, because it has a thin tip for a precise line.
Upturned eyes
For upturned eyes, it is also nice to use eyeliner on the lower lash line to improve the symmetry of the eyes. So don't just draw a line on your upper lash line, but extend it into the outer corner of the lower lash line.
Drooping eyelids
You can visually disguise drooping eyelids by only drawing eyeliner in the outer corner of the eye in an upward line for a lifting effect. This will make your eyes appear optically larger. You can use any eyeliner for this, for example the Maybelline Hyper Precise All Day Liquid Eyeliner .
What is the difference between eye pencil and eyeliner?
Both products allow you to draw a line around your eye, but what exactly is the difference between an eye pencil and an eyeliner?
What is a big difference between the two is that an eyeliner is liquid and an eye pencil is solid. Because an eye pencil is solid, it is much easier to apply than an eyeliner, which requires much more concentration. If you are still a beginner with eyeliner, it is better to practice with an eye pencil first. You can also use an eye pencil to make a thicker and darker line more easily.
