How to Choose an Eyeliner Applicator

Eyeliner is a favorite of women everywhere, and one of the most commonly used cosmetics. By using different liners and applicators, it is possible to achieve a variety of looks with eyeliner. Experiment and choose the type of applicator that brings out the beauty in your eyes.

Difficulty: Challenging

Instructions

1. Apply eyeliner with a brush. You'll have more control and a wider array of colors. This method works best when applying eyeliner to the lower lid.

2. Use a liquid eyeliner with a point liner brush for a dramatic look. Choose a black or gray eyeliner to make the look even more intense.

3. Line your eyes with an eyeliner pencil. Sharpen the pencil to remove any accumulated bacteria before each use.

4. Add water to a cake eyeliner if you need your makeup to last for a long time. Get a more intense look than with a dry powder or pencil liner.

5. Ask a doctor to apply permanent eyeliner. This method uses a needle to inject colored pigments into your skin.

6. Choose a felt-tip eyeliner pen for simple, quick liquid eyeliner. These can dry out quickly, but they produce a fluid, even look.

Tips & Warnings

• If your eyeliner pencil isn't applying smoothly, hold it above a small flame for a minute or two. Let it cool before application.
• Replace your eyeliner every six months to avoid bacterial growth and infection.
