Know your types:

  • Liquid eyeliner is long-lasting and is useful for drawing thin, wispy lines for a winged eyeliner look. Because it can be slow to dry, liquid eyeliner does best on the eyelid and upper lash line, rather than the waterline.

  • Felt-tip eyeliner is a type of liquid eyeliner that uses a felt tip instead of a brush for application. It’s the best choice for applying a wing or cat-eye because it’s easy to control and allows you to draw thick or thin lines depending on how you hold it.

  • Gel eyeliner has a waxy consistency that does not smear or rub off easily. It works well on your waterline because it’s usually waterproof.

  • Pencil eyeliner is versatile. It’s a good choice to use on the waterline, for tight lining, and for a cat-eye technique.

  • Kohl pencil eyeliner has a creamy consistency that works well for a smokey eye.

  • Eyeshadow applied to the eyelid with an angle brush can serve as a more natural-looking alternative to heavy eyeliner.

General Guidelines for Creating Illusion

For this technique, eyeliner is used to create the appearance of bigger eyes. You aren’t actually altering the size of your eyes, of course. It’s all about creating an illusion. To do this, you’ll want to understand some general rules about creating depth and dimension with eye makeup.

  • White (or a light color) draws the eye in and calls attention to facial features.

  • Shimmer acts as a highlighter, catches the light, draws the eye in, and calls attention.

  • Dark colors can help minimize an area or give the illusion of a shadow.

  • Using multiple colors over a uniform base can help add depth and dimension.
