Almost every woman who wears make-up swears by the transformation that can be achieved just by using eyeliner. Eyeliner is a cosmetic used to define the eye contour and emphasize the shape of your eyes.
The earliest use of eyeliners can be traced to the Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. It was cream-based eyeliner now known as the kohl liner. Soon, the practice of using eyeliners to outline the eyes became a popular form of make-up. In 1960, Mary Quant, a well-known designer, used white and black eyeliner to create a dramatic look on fashion runways.
As eyeliners can be one of the trickiest things to use, it is essential to know the proper technique before you apply one. However, a little practice will let you master the art of applying and also steady your hand.
There are different types of eyeliner. Liquid, gel, cream, pencil, and powder eyeliners are the most common types. Glitter eyeliners, felt-tip eyeliner pens, soft wax liners and cake eyeliners are also available. It makes sense to invest in eyeliners that are water-resistant as the area around our eyes is naturally moist, and you don’t want to return home looking blurry with the liner smearing down your cheeks. Sweat-resistant eyeliners are available too and are worthwhile if perspiration around the face is your common complaint. Many eye shadows also double as eyeliners, and all you need to do is dampen the brush a little before you begin applying.
The trick to a perfect and flawless eye lining lies in using the right brush or eyeliner applicator. There are a wide range of brushes and applicators doing the rounds and you can choose from a variety of thicknesses and brush handle sizes. Also, many eyeliner brands offer a variety of hues besides the basic black and brown colours. The eyeliner can be used as daily-wear make-up, or with just a little flick of your wrist you can create the perfect ‘Amy Winehouse look’ for an evening out.
