Liquid Eyeliner: What's the Best Type for You?
Liquid eyeliners look so simple. I mean what are they supposed to do? They’re just black liquid that you smear across your eyelid, right?
Wrong.
With so many different types of liquid eyeliner available in the market, it can be quite difficult for you to make a choice. The color, applicator, finish, etc, play an important role to determine which liquid liner should you finally add to your shopping bag.
Here is a list of a few tips to help you choose a liquid liner that’ll be worth every penny you spend on it.
how to Test Out Applicators to Find the One You're Most Comfortable With
As mentioned above, they are just so many varieties of a singular product that making the correct choice can be quite difficult. Liquid eyeliners can come in tubes with thin, feathered brushes or they can resemble a marker with a felt tip.
We would personally suggest you opt for the marker liquid liner as they give you a more precise eyeliner than the other one.
how to find the eyeliner shade you want by Playing Around with the Different Colors Available
You do not have to stick with a black liquid liner every single time. There are a variety of colors available at the moment. Be it brown, purple, silver or gold — you can have so much fun when you do your makeup.
If you have lighter eyes stick to the darker colors and vice versa. If you have brown eyes, you can try navy eyeliner. Similarly, green eyes can go for purple, and grey can opt for black. This will help your eyes pop out more.
why you should Know the Ingredients Used to Create the Liquid Liner
This is a very important step that you should take care to follow. Eyeliners may come in contact with the eye and as such, they need to be made of ingredients that don’t leave your eyes irritated. Some of these ingredients include Benzalkonium chloride (BAK), carbon black, prime yellow carnauba black and so on. These ingredients can have a toxic effect on the cells that make up the eye or are even linked to cancer.
how to Figure Out the Eyeliner Finish that You Want
There are different liquid eyeliner finishes available in the market. You can either go for the matte finish, the shimmery finish or the glossy finish. Choose one that is more suitable to your style. If you are somebody who wants an eyeliner for everyday use, matte should be your go-to choice. If you want something more trendy, you can opt for the shimmery finish.
why Opt for A Waterproof and Smudge-proof Liquid Eyeliner Formula
Did you know that waterproof formula is different from the smudge-proof formula?
Waterproof eyeliner, as the name suggests, it is resistant to water in general. So, you can cry or get wet in the rain without spoiling your eyeliner. On the other hand, smudge-proof eyeliner stops your eyeliner from spreading to unwanted areas. If you live in places with high humidity so naturally have an oily eye zone, smudge-proof liquid eyeliners would work the best for you. But, why compromise when you can get the best of both worlds? Many liquid eyeliners offer both formulas to help you keep your eyeliner perfect all through the day.
why to Test out the eyeliner Pigment and Whether it Can be Easily Removed
A good liquid liner should always be very pigmented. When we use the word 'pigment', we mean the color of the product. The color should be rich and not faded. This, in turn, can help determine the quality of the product as well.
Then the next thing you need to find out is whether the product is easily removable. You really do not need a product that is too difficult to remove as it can have a harsh effect on your eyes and cause fine lines to appear near the area as well. When you go to buy eyeliner and try out the testers, always try to remove it to understand whether it's easily removable or not.
There, we're done! So, keep all these things in mind when you step out next to buy a liquid eyeliner. Remember, you only need to buy a product when you're 100 percent sure of it. Otherwise, you can always come back later so don't feel any pressure.
