Best Liquid Eyeliner


A girl's eye makeup is incomplete without the application of eyeliner. Many prefer pencil liner to liquid liner, as it is easy to apply and they are also comparatively inexpensive. However, it is difficult to judge a clear winner in the debate of liquid eyeliner vs pencil eyeliner. But if you learn the technique of applying a liquid eyeliner, you will see how it imparts a dramatic look to the lash line. Also, regardless, of whether you choose a pencil or a liner, it is important you buy the best product. Remember, eyes are the most delicate organs, so it is important you treat them with care. If you are a fan of liquid eyeliners or new to liquid eyeliner use, there are innumerable cosmetic brands vying for every girl's attention, with each claiming to make the best liquid eyeliner. Hence, it can be a daunting as well as an overwhelming experience, if you don't have an idea on what you exactly need.

Tips for Buying
The best way to choose an eyeliner is to know your choice first. These are important, because preferences vary from one person to another. So before blindly buying what has been listed as the best suggestion, it is important to know first what you are looking for:
  • Quality: Cost does matter, but when it comes to choosing between an expensive eyeliner that cares for your eyes, and an inexpensive but low quality eyeliner, always choose the former. Remember, you are dealing with your delicate eyes.
  • Color: Choose color considering what suits you best. Black and brown are always the safest option in liquid liners for daily use. But if you are in a mood for adventure, then you can go for options like blue and green, while you can choose the white eyeliner for brightening your eyes.
  • Usability: Waterproof eyeliner or non-waterproof eyeliner? In warm humid months, it is always better to buy a waterproof eyeliner to prevent smudging.
  • Effect: While buying an eyeliner, you also need to decide whether you need a simple matte finish eyeliner or something that has glitter or shimmer.
Reviews
For the review, I have selected these 3 products that are extremely popular and among the users.

Maybelline's Ultra Liner
The first features I noticed about this eyeliner is, it is waterproof, long lasting and extremely easy to apply. The feature of easy application is enhanced by the specialized brush that this eyeliner boasts of. Applying eyeliner needs a steady hand, but the brush makes the application easier, even while drawing a thin line near the lashes. It stays fresh even after several hours, unless you have the habit of frequently rubbing your eyes. It is also pocket friendly at less than $6 and comes in basic colors like black, brown, slate, and taupe. The only disadvantage of this eyeliner is the clean up. You will need a good eye makeup remover to remove all traces of this long-lasting eyeliner.

L'Oreal Lineur Intense Liner
Anyone who has used this eyeliner would vouch for these two facts: it is easy to apply and extremely long lasting. It lasts up to 8 hours without fading and comes with an applicator brush that has flexible felt tip. So far, carbon black is the most loved and fastest selling color that has intense pigmentation for creating a cat eye effect. The adjustable application also makes it easy to get an understated look, so you get two features in one eyeliner. Priced below $10, this is surely worth the deal.

Revlon ColorStay Liquid Liner
This eyeliner comes with a pointed felt tip that makes application easy and smooth. This allows you to draw both thin and thick lines as per your requirement. The positive qualities of this eyeliner is, it doesn't crack, doesn't run, it is long-lasting and smooth to apply. It is also quite inexpensive at less than $8 and one of the best waterproof eyeliner in this price range. But the best part is, it is easy to remove, so highly recommended for those who wear contact lenses. So if it accidentally gets into your contact lenses, you don't have to worry about ways of removing it.

While buying an eyeliner, as I mentioned earlier, always look for quality first. Then give importance to what suits you best. If you have tried several times and failed to properly apply a liquid eyeliner, then invest in a good pencil or gel eyeliner. They are easy to apply and also have more shelf life. Always look for expiry date while buying a liquid eyeliner, and never buy ones that are nearing the expiry date.
