Define Your Eyes Using Eyeliner Tips

What is the best eyeliner is a question many women ask. Its a question
asked often. Yet not all women want to wear eyeliner because they
want the "natural look" but have no idea that if you apply
eyeliner, you get that just that! Just applying a darker tone at the
base of your lashes adds wonderful definition, making lashes look
longer, and eyeliner can be used to help correct your eye shape if need be.
Eyeliner when applied correctly gives the illusion of longer lashes. There is
really nothing worse than white spaces between lashes to ruin a
look especially if you have light colored lashes.

There are three types of eyeliner:

Pencil- gives the softest finish, easiest to use and you can smudge it. If
you can use a pencil you can use a pencil eyeliner.
Cake- applies wet with a small brush, smudges well when using eye
shadow over it. Long lasting tends not to flake like liquid can.
Liquid – gives the most dramatic look of all the types, quick drying, needs
a steady hand. Can flake.
Gel- used like a liquid or cake but can easier to apply, its long lasting,
apply with a brush.
This article is going to talk about pencil eyeliners and hopefully give you
enough information to help you in making your choice of the best
eyeliner for you.

and your pencil eyeliner stays put!

What about using your pencil eyeliner in warm weather? Stick it in the
freezer for a few minutes before sharpening them.
What about using it in cold weather? Your pencil can get too hard and can
drag and leave an uneven look. Hit it with your hairdryer to soften the
point before using it. Just be sure it’s not still hot!!

**Side note: Besides me, does anyone else remember doing this? :D
As a teenager I remember lighting a match to soften the tip of my pencil
eyeliner in the girl’s bathroom. I wasn’t allowed to wear
makeup but like all teens that didn’t stop me from applying it before
morning class!!
