Eyeliner pen is a type of eyeliner pencil used in order to draw along the rim and lash line of the eye. It has a fine, thin, pointy tip, which makes it easy to apply. It’s also good for drawing thin lines around the eye.

How To Use Eyeliner Pen For Beginners

One of the greatest makeup tools for producing stunning cat eyes, graphic wings, and statement lines is liquid eyeliner.

Whether you’ve been wearing liquid eyeliner for years or you’ve only recently added one to your IPSY Glam Bag, you can easily master any eye makeup look with a little practice.

Apply a matte base eyeshadow and eyeshadow primer to your eyelid. To draw your liner on the upper and lower lids as close to your lashes as you can, gently grip the outside corner of your eye. Making little dots or dashes and then connecting them is simpler for some novices. Use a cotton swab to blend and fix any errors.

Types of Liquid Eyeliner

1. Brush-Tip Liquid Eyeliners

These liquid eyeliners, such as KVD VEGAN BEAUTY Tattoo Eyeliner, have loose, flexible bristles that are similar to a paintbrush. For this reason, brush-tip liquid eyeliners can take a bit more practice for beginners to get the hang of but are excellent for creating varying eyeliner widths—whether you’re going for a thicker, bolder wing or just a thin, elegant sweep across your lash line.

“I feel brushes are easier for me solely because you can control the amount of product on the brush! With some liner pens, once you apply the product, sometimes too much can be released with the felt tip, which then can throw off your whole liner application,” says Jessica.

2. Felt-Tip Liquid Eyeliners

Eyeliners like MORPHE’s Felt-Tip Liquid Liner are stiffer than liquid liners with brush tips and, as such, are great for creating thick, intense winged eyeliner looks. Because the tip is solid and not made up of bristles (like a brush-tip applicator is), felt-tip liquid eyeliners can have a higher color payoff (that is, the pigment will appear darker on your skin) and can be easier for beginners to control, especially if you’re going after a sharp, more defined cat-eye look.

Of course, deciding to use a liquid liner with a brush tip or felt tip will depend on the type of look you’re trying to create and your level of comfort with each applicator.

How to Apply Liquid Eyeliner if You are a Beginner

“A fun tip that I tell anyone who is struggling with liner is to apply it with your eyes open! Nothing is worse than doing your best liner job and then opening your eyes and seeing it transferred all over your lid,” says Jessica. But, if you mess up, it isn’t anything a little q-tip and makeup remover can’t fix.

If you’re new to applying liquid eyeliner, don’t worry—we’re here to simplify the process. The following technique is ideal for beginners or those with shaky hands and works especially well on monolid, round, and almond eye shapes.

“Holding makeup brushes towards the end instead of close near the actual hairs gives you way more control and fluidity of the brush itself,” says Jessica. If your hands are shaky, this tip will assist you in creating a straight line.

How to Apply Liquid Eyeliner if You’re a Pro

The most dramatic eyeliner is liquid, but it’s also usually the hardest to apply. It provides a clear, defined line but requires a steady hand. The greatest variety in producing a thick or thin line is provided by liquid liners that include a thin, fine-point or felt-tip “inkwell” brush.

Advice: Use a mix of products if you want the complexity of a liquid eyeliner for a cat-eye appearance but your hand isn’t stable enough. Use a gel or pencil liner where you want a stronger line, and apply liquid eyeliner to the inner and outer corners of your eyes where you want a more exact detail.

Tips for Applying the Lower Lash Line

• Your appearance can be made or broken by applying eyeliner along the lower lash line. To ensure that you’re doing it in a flattering manner, follow these general recommendations.
• Just the outer two-thirds of the eye should be lined. A somewhat unlined area along the inner corner of your eye creates a softer, less harsh appearance. You can line all the way across for a more dramatic effect, but not everyone can pull this off, especially if your eyes are close-set.
• Verify that the lower lash line’s eyeliner matches the upper lash line’s back corner. This produces a more unified, organic appearance.
• Draw a gentle, narrow line. When you use a lot of liner on the lower lash line, it frequently looks like your mascara has smudged. Here, less is more. Apply a milder version of the color you used on your upper lash line here, maybe using a similar-toned shadow you already own.

Conclusion

It can be intimidating to know where to begin if you’re new to the vast and amazing world of eyeliner. Which is better for beginners: pencil or liquid eyeliner? What are the benefits of utilizing kohl pencils as opposed to gel formulas? The possibilities for even a basic facial flourish can appear virtually limitless. All of these different sorts of liners have advantages, but some take a little longer to learn.

Creamy pencil formulas make the ideal eyeliners for novices because they apply easily and don’t tug, skip, or pull at the lid. The fact that pencil eyeliners don’t need to dry down like liquid or gel eyeliners do is another benefit. Because of this, you’re less likely to accidentally smudge your liner when applying mascara or covering up your under-eye area.
