For years, I've used black liquid liner on my eyes for a fresh, clean look. I've tested all kinds of brands in the past, but always come back to my love...Almay Liquid Eyeliner. It's non-irritating and hypoallergenic (believe me girls, there are some formulas out there that cause redness and a slight burning feeling), glides on effortlessly and washes off clean with just soap and water!
Tips:
- Don't be nervous - you'll need a steady hand
- Use a liquid liner with a solid tip, not a thin brush that will wiggle in all directions during application
- Use your lash line as a guide and then increase or decrease for your level for dramatic effect (the thicker the line, the more dramatic)
- If you make a mistake, take a damp Q-tip and wipe off necessary areas
- Remember, this is LIQUID, so give it a couple seconds to completely dry
- Waterproof formulas will be harder to remove, so make sure you have a good eye make-up remover
Liquid Liner Pens: These are great for handling purposes if you are used to using a pen/pencil, but I find that these pens dry up quicker, so I don't get as much use as the traditional liquid liner. Your traditional liquid liner will last forever! Should it dry up a little, just add a drop of water and you're good to go. Or, just get another one!
