Waterproof eyeliner
A few years ago, the fashionable makeup of the sixties returned, the main part of which is the luxurious black arrows, painted with eyeliner. Modern girls are so fond of this element of makeup that many of them no longer present themselves without brightly highlighted eyes.
Especially popular in our climatic conditions get waterproof liners, which are not afraid of either torrential rain or snow falling in large flakes. Regardless of weather conditions, the arrows drawn with a waterproof eyeliner hold on until the end of the day.
Features
Naturally, the main feature of such layouts is that they are indelible. Ordinary liners or eyeliners tend to wash off, smear or even spread. A good and resistant eyeliner will hold on almost all day and do not wash it off with ordinary water.
Waterproof products have another advantage compared to ordinary ones: they draw the arrow much more clearly and the color itself is brighter and more saturated. Also, the liquid of this type dries faster, evenly lays down and allows you to create a wider variety of beautiful arrows. The great advantage is that the eyeliner does not injure the soft skin of the eyelids, as is done, for example, sharply sharpened pencils.
Well, the main advantage of such tools is the convenience and ease of their use. Even a beginner in makeup can quickly master the technique of drawing arrows with the help of properly selected cosmetics.
Kinds
There are several types of waterproof eyeliners:
- Liquid;
- Hard;
- Gel;
- Cream;
- Marker.
Consider each of them in more detail.
Liquid
This is the most popular type of eyeliner, which is used by millions of women. Its packaging is standard: a small bottle, the shape of which depends on the manufacturer and a screw cap with a thin tassel at the end. Thanks to this tool you can draw any kind of arrow from very thin, suitable for daytime to thicker and more noticeable, ideal for evening makeup.
As a rule, it is the liquid products that are considered the most resistant, but there is one nuance that should be taken into account when applying makeup. It is difficult to wash it off with water, but if you apply a too thick layer of liquid, then after a few hours it may begin to crumble.
Learning how to draw arrows with liquid eyeliner is not very easy, but with regular training you can quickly get the hang of it and learn to cope with the task easily. The only problem can be that correcting such makeup will be quite problematic, as the product dries out in a matter of seconds and in the case of a miss you need to fix everything instantly.
Hard
This type is usually sold as a dry pencil or pressed powder in a small jar. Pencil is very convenient to use, it quickly and easily allow you to decorate the eyes. Powder is a bit more complicated: as a rule, it is intended for professional makeup artists who apply it with a special brush with a thin tip.
By the way, this type of liner has the largest color palette. Silver and gold colors are great for evening makeup, blue or brown for original girls who love variety, classic black fits all.
Gel
This type of liner is somewhat similar to the principle of application with a liquid. It is a gel consistency remedy, located in a small jar with a twist off lid. Brushes for such products are not provided in the kit, so they should be purchased separately.
A lot of girls, having been trained to draw arrows with this tool, can no longer switch to others, since it is more convenient in many respects primarily due to the brush, which can be used to paint absolutely any kind of arrows - from feathered "smokey eyes" to beautiful Bridget Bardot.
Cream
Such an eyeliner is outwardly similar to gel. It is also sold in small round bottles, but at the same time it has a creamy texture that allows you to draw arrows not only with a dry, but also with a wet brush. Some make-up artists prefer eyebrows and to bring such means.
Marker pen
This product is ideal for beginners, as it allows you to draw a beautiful arrow with one hand movement literally the first time. The principle of work here is like an ordinary marker. It is necessary to remove the cap on one side and twist the tip on the other, so that the liquid reaches the drawing tip in the form of a triangular sponge or brush.
Unfortunately, this species has several drawbacks along with the advantages:
- These liners quickly end or dry.
- The sponge itself in some brands is very short-lived and in a couple of weeks it can become tousled.
- It will be difficult to draw a thin arrow with this liner.
- The color of these products is not as saturated as that of liquid. Despite the simplicity and speed, the arrows can turn out faded, as the liquid itself is almost translucent inside.
Composition
As a rule, all liners are similar in composition, but waterproof ones have some additional ingredients that give them extra durability. The composition combines natural oils and resins that do not allow the medium to spread and ensure their indelibility.
Some manufacturers complement the composition with components such as vitamins E and C, which gently nourish and moisturize the skin of the eyelids.
How to wash
As noted above, waterproof liners are not washed off with ordinary water. If you try to erase the arrows with running water, you can get skin irritation of the eyelids. But you can remove cosmetics from the eyes very simply with the help of special tools that can be purchased at almost any store or pharmacy.
One of the most common means for removing waterproof eyeliner is highly refined petrolatum, followed by olive, coconut or other base oils, which not only help you to remove makeup from the eyes without any problems, but also moisturize the soft skin of the eyelids and accelerate eyelash growth.
So, to erase the waterproof eyeliner from the eyes, you need to gently apply a little oil along the growth of eyelashes with your fingers on the painted place and wait about ten seconds. After this time, you should take a cotton pad and hold them over the eyes, removing the remaining liquid from the eyes.
Be sure to rinse your face to prevent oil from getting into your eyes.
You can also wipe off eye makeup with the help of some cosmetics, such as gel, milk, lotion, or micellar water. To do this, apply a little product on a cotton pad and wipe their closed eyes from the inner to the outer corner. After you take a blank disc and remove the remnants of funds.
Some girls use a two-phase makeup remover that combines oils and vitaminized water.
Before use, you need to thoroughly shake the bottle so that all the ingredients are mixed. When the composition becomes homogeneous, it is necessary to moisten a cotton pad with it and put it on the eyes for fifteen seconds. After that, you should gently wipe the eyelid, removing the remnants of cosmetics. When the eyes are clear, the disk turns over and the process is repeated to remove the leftovers.
But the easiest way is to use special wipes impregnated to remove cosmetics from the face. They are very convenient because they can be taken with you - compact packaging can be placed in any handbag. First of all, you need to get the napkin out of the package, then straighten it and put it on your eyes, then wipe off the makeup with gentle movements. If necessary, repeat the procedure.
