Liquid eyeliner

Expressive, deep, insightful, fascinating ... Every woman or girl dreams of this look. To achieve this effect, you may need a long and hard work of a professional makeup artist. But the main secret is hidden, first of all, in a competent and accurate eye sight - art, which can be mastered by each of the fair sex.

Liquid eyeliner, as a rule, comes in a jar and with a brush, which is either embedded in the inner side of the cap, or attached separately. Some variants of such an eyeliner are very easily confused with mascara, since a jar can look like a slightly elongated bottle or even be externally stylized as a pen, felt-tip pen.

However, the difference from the usual dry liner is not in appearance, but in the effectiveness and characteristics of the application. It is worth making a reservation right away that not every woman manages to make up her eyes with such a tool the first time. Liquid eyeliner hard to recommend for beginners, as it requires a certain skill. With the same pencil or a special felt-tip pen, it is much easier to draw a straight line and control pressure than with brushes.

On the other hand, learning to use such a tool with a great desire is not as difficult as it may seem at first glance. It is enough to put a little effort and patience in order to properly paint the eyes with a liquid eyeliner, and you immediately appreciate the mass of its advantages:

• The colors are much richer and brighter.. Due to its liquid form, the product contains much more coloring pigments and is more easily fixed on the thin skin of the eyelids. In addition, you will have a much larger selection in terms of colors and shades. Such tools are considered to be professional, as they open a wide scope for creating makeup;
• Make-up more sustainable. Many liners may contain liquid silicone or any other fixing components, due to which the liner is more resistant to moisture;
• Colors are easier to combine with each other.. Opportunities for bold experiments in your style;
• You can achieve a more accurate and accurate liner. When using pencils, you can be oche limited in their softness and thickness of the slate, but the brushes allow you to form any stroke or line you need.
• The cost of a liquid eyeliner is quite pleasant for a wallet.. In addition, it is much more accessible than the modern gel pen.

Of course, it was not without flaws. As stated earlier, liquid eyeliner – This is not the best choice for girls who are going to paint their eyelids for the first time on their own. Everything is achieved through training and practice, but it would be better to start trying your hand with a pencil or marker to understand the general principle of the arrows.

You should also always pay attention to the quality of the liquid. The fact is that preference should be given to those options that have components that fix and protect makeup. Otherwise, all your beauty can simply "Flow". One of the main drawbacks of such an eyeliner is the risk that the chemical agent may become blurred in the rain and get into the eyes, causing irritation or even serious damage to the cornea. For this reason, you should choose the most water resistant options and apply eyeliner very carefully. Pay attention to the shelf life.

This will primarily affect the quality of makeup, as it can become faded, poorly fixed and quickly deteriorate.

Of course, the first thing that any woman pays attention to when choosing cosmetics for makeup is color. If you are not sure which style you are going to stick to, then first of all consider the classic options. These include black, gray or brown eyeliner. The first two can be well combined with each other, since the black eyeliner of the upper eyelid can be the simplest and most successful solution, and the lighter one can be the lower eyelid.

In addition to shades, you should pay attention to other qualities of the tool:

• One of the main criteria for any liner is durability.. A good tool does not disappear after a couple of hours after application, and this is especially true for dry liners. Testing your favorite version is quite simple: apply a few strokes to the skin of your wrist or hand, and then wait about an hour and inspect them. Good eyeliner does not lose color and saturation even after a long time;
• Also during testing it is worth paying attention to the ease of application. In order to be able to achieve accuracy and accuracy in the make-up, your tool must lie down freely and continuously, without forming spots and lumps;
• Carefully read the composition. Any colored eyeliner will contain a water or silicone base, as well as a mass of coloring matter. This is not a quality indicator. The composition of good products of this kind should also include natural oils, vitamins or minerals that strengthen the thin skin of the eyelids and prevent the irritant effect of chemical components;
• Be sure to examine the brush in the kit and try it in. Applying certain lines or drawing arrows is quite difficult if the brush is uncomfortable or too thick;
• Pay attention also to the additional properties of the liner.. Very often on the shelves come across purely decorative options, for example, it can be a metallic effect or eyeliner with sparkles. They are not suitable for everyday or business style, but a brilliant option may be an unusual solution for any party or holiday.

Another feature of this tool is the ability to manufacture at home. There is nothing complicated about it. There are many different recommendations and recipes, but in order to get a reliable liner, you can use the following step-by-step instructions:

• Take two teaspoons of coconut oil and melt in a slow water bath to a liquid state;
• Grind into powder two tablets of activated charcoal. This will be the coloring component if you want a black liner. For a brown remedy, take half a teaspoon of cocoa powder;
• Mix the ready coloring element with four teaspoons of pure aloe vera gel;
• Slowly mix the mixture into the melted coconut oil and mix to a uniform consistency. Cool;
• The liner is ready. It should be stored in a dark place in a tightly closed jar or vial, so that it does not thicken and dry.

As mentioned above, liquid eyeliner - This is not the best choice for beginners. Nevertheless, any woman can learn how to correctly and beautifully apply arrows. Just a little patience and effort. Just adopt some recommendations:

• Before painting your eyes, look at yourself in the mirror and visually imagine what the arrows should be in length and width;
• Slightly pinch the eye, and then place the point where it should end with the tip of the brush.Make such a procedure on both eyes at once, so that everything is symmetrical;
• Connect the resulting point with the beginning of a number of your cilia;
• A thin and even line should be drawn to the middle of the eye. You can add volume at any time;
• If you know how to use a brush well, you can try a simple and fast version of applying eyeliner: a thin, gradually expanding line from the inner to the outer corner of the eye;
• If according to the plan the arrow should be drawn, then you can lengthen its tail with the thinnest brush of all that you have. Apply bottom-up thickening;
• Lower eyelid is better to bring more soft and calm tones.

Quite often there is the question of what to do if the eyeliner is withered or thickened. Do not rush to buy a new one, because you can "revive" an existing tool:

• Add to the bottle a bit of ordinary clean water;
• Dilute with a small portion of makeup remover;
• You can also dilute the eyeliner using a solution for storing contact lenses;
• Also try holding a tightly closed jar or vial in hot water.

Liquid eyeliners are becoming increasingly popular as professional makeup tools. They compare favorably with dry ones in a greater range of shades, color saturation, stability and a variety of additional decorative effects.

It is difficult to say which of the brands presented on the shelves that produce such cosmetics is the best. To date, the leading brands are headed by such liquid lines as "Joli Couleurs" from Vivienne sabo, "Super Fine Eyeliner Pen" from Essence, "Liquid Liner Waterproof" from Catrice, "Liquid Eyeliner" from "Gourmand", "Glam'Eyes" from Rimmel.
