Mastering eyeliner takes time, but once you get it, it becomes your favorite tool in the makeup kit.
“A good eyeliner draws more than just lines — it defines your entire eye.”
Eyeliner can completely transform your eyes — making them appear bigger, sharper, or more dramatic based on your application. Pencils are perfect for beginners due to their control, while gel liners allow for smoother application. Liquid liners create the sharpest and boldest effects.
For everyday wear, a thin line along the upper lash line adds subtle definition. For special occasions, a bold cat eye or winged liner adds an edgy touch. For a smokey eye, apply a kohl pencil and smudge it with a brush.
Eyeliner should also match your eye shape. Almond eyes suit almost all styles, hooded eyes need thinner, tighter lines, and round eyes can benefit from extending the line outward.
Look for waterproof and smudge-proof formulas if you have oily lids or long days. With a little practice and the right eyeliner, your eyes will always speak volumes.
