Quality eyeliners 2022

Every girl wants to look beautiful and unique. Some believe that this is possible only with the use of cosmetics. This is definitely not the case. But make-up will definitely add a certain charm.

What you will not find among all cosmetic products, but there are some irreplaceable and time-tested things. These include eyeliner. That is why the counters of cosmetics stores offer customers pencils of various colors, types and firms.

The pencil will help to give the eyes more expressiveness both in daytime makeup and for evening makeup. But in order for the make-up to look amazing, you should know some subtleties.

Types of pencils

What kind of pencils you will not find on the counter of the store. Sometimes you stand and do not understand what to take, so as not to regret the choice later.

Let's take a closer look at the varieties.

• Contour. A faithful assistant when drawing thin and graceful lines. Has a solid structure. Initially, you will have to suffer a lot to learn how to handle it.

• Feather. With its help, a gentle arrow with a beautiful shading is made. Serves as a good substitute for shadows. However, such a pencil is not suitable for drawing a clear and even line;

• Kayal. Due to the soft structure of the rod, it is used for coloring the mucous membrane of the eye. Basically, kajal is not sold in a wooden case for the safety of consumers.

• Liner. The same eyeliner, with which they make a pronounced and thin line. The cartridge contains paint that wets the brush.

• Definer. The cosmetic product resembles a felt-tip pen.The tip is always filled with paint, but it dries very quickly, therefore, its service life is not impressive.

In order to understand which pencil is suitable, you should understand its possible textures.

Types of stylus

The appearance of makeup depends on the structure of cosmetic products.

• Solid - the best option for those who want to make a lasting makeup. Thanks to its texture, the arrows do not spread during the day. This option is especially suitable for owners of oily skin. However, it is quite difficult for them to draw a line due to the texture. But everything comes with experience, doesn't it?
• Medium hardness - this option is suitable for everyone. It is not very difficult for them to draw a line.
• Soft - the composition contains wax, which creates a creamy texture. But the arrow drawn with such a pencil will be bright with a rich color. However, it is difficult to use it - the line is not always thin.

What kind is better?

In fact, it is the eyeliner user's preferences that should be taken into account here. It all depends on the skills and taste of the person, because makeup should be done with products that are convenient for you.

Also consider your skin type. If, for example, the skin is dry, it is better to use a pencil with a soft lead to draw a line without effort and discomfort. And if the skin is prone to oiliness, then it is recommended to choose, on the contrary, solid.

What to look for when choosing a pencil?

1. Compound. One way or another, this is necessary so that the use of the product does not cause any problems. The composition should be: wax, oil, hardeners. Petroleum products should be kept to a minimum. Some even look at the presence of vitamins.

Important: people suffering from allergies are advised to choose hypoallergenic products!

2. What is the pencil made of (wooden or plastic)? On the one hand, wood is better, because microbes are eliminated due to the presence of a natural antiseptic. However, the stylus quickly loses its sharpness and, accordingly, needs frequent sharpening. And on the other hand, the most convenient is plastic packaging with a retractable applicator - it does not require sharpening.
3. The quality of the protective cap should fit snugly on the pencil.
4. Rod state. There should be no plaque on its entire surface. This indicates that the expiration date has expired.

Eyeliner has pros and cons just like any other beauty product.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Suitable for those who do not have makeup skills. That is, an arrow drawn with a pencil will turn out to be more accurate than an eyeliner.
• The mucous membrane of the eye can be safely isolated.
• The line can be shaded. Thus, the arrow will create a haze effect, which will give tenderness to the makeup.
• Some pencils are water-resistant, which will allow the lines to last all day (you might even cry).
• Multifunctionality - if necessary, they are used instead of shadows.

• Wooden pencils require sharpening;
• Mechanical often break;
• When choosing a low-quality cosmetic product, you can introduce an infection.
