![]() It is also amazing for creating a smudged-out line on the top eyelid. It will stay on the waterline area and won't leak into the eye itself. It is the only eyeliner that is safe for the waterline and tightlining as it is a "dry" texture. Pencil eyeliner is very versatile due to the vast range of formulas it comes in. The super pigmented and very sharp lines make it easy to create evening-to-night shapes. Think bold, graphic, or winged-out eyeliner. Liquid eyeliner makes the best dramatic liner looks. It is great for an evening-to-night look as the formula isn't light or natural. The downside is that powder can fade or wear off quicker, might not show up as deep as you want it to, and doesn't create clean-cut lines.įormulate: What kind of looks does each type of eyeliner work best for? Why?Īlyssia: Gel eyeliner is an eyeliner that is great for creating an opaque line but without the advanced makeup skills needed for liquid liner. It is the fastest way to achieve a framed eye. It is perfect for defining your lash line and making a template for your liquid or gel. Powder eyeliner is the most natural, soft, and beginner-friendly way to apply liner.

A couple of cons is that pencil liner might transfer and may need to be sharpened frequently if it doesn't have twist-up packaging. It comes in different formulas: Kohl (best for smudging), Gel (best for long-wearing), and waterproof. Pencil eyeliner is also relatively easy to remove. It can be used to create a variety of looks, from tightlining to smudged-out thick, dramatic wings. Pencil eyeliner is the most versatile type of eyeliner and the easiest to use. Also, be careful if you have lash extensions as many do contain oil as a base. The user might have difficulties creating a nice line if they have an unsteady hand. The downside is that it can be harder to apply depending on the applicator. There are many colors and you can also get metallic or glitter formulas. It comes in matte, satin, or a luster finish. It provides a very even pigmented finish. Liquid eyeliner creates a clean, defined line. However, it can be difficult to remove and may smudge more easily than other types depending on the formula.

To answer your questions, we consulted professional makeup artist/educator Alyssia Chang, founder of Prevail Beauty. What are my eyeliner options, what are all the different types? Is there a type that's best for beginners? Should you apply eyeshadow or eyeliner first? Also I've heard liquid eyeliner typically looks best, is that true? My plan is to practice a lot until I get better. I really like it on other people, I just never bothered to get into it very much myself because eh, who has the time to do eyeliner every day? So now the problem is that I know almost nothing about eyeliner since I never really wear it. I've never really been a person who wears a ton of eyeliner but I know I'll want to wear a little to make my eyes pop. I figured I would save a bit by increasing my overall makeup knowledge and doing it myself. I'm getting married next June! Yay! I'm getting my hair done by a pro but I didn't want to shell out to have my makeup done because ya girl has a budget. Formulate user Cecilia is in need of some advice:
