Eye liner

Eye liner is a make-up used to define the eyes, to change their perceived shape or to create a certain mood: a razor-sharp matte line or smoky kohl contour may change the entire look of the face.Depending on its texture, eyeliner can be softly smudged or clearly defined. There are four main formulas available on the market, each one for producing a different effect: Liquid eye liner gives the most intense and precise line that perfectly defines the eyes and stays sharp over time. It is usually available in dark matte or iridescent shades and come in small bottle with a brush of felt applicator. It is difficult to apply and requires a steady hand.
It is recommended for top eye lid only, as not only does it have a tendency to irritate the eye if incorectly applied, it also gives a very harsh line.Softer wax-based eye pencils contain waxes that ease application. They are good for smudging and come in a variety of colours. Bright blue, green, aqua, violet, or bronze liners are great when a bright colour should be quickly and precisely applied in a line. Light beige or white liners are perfect for highlighting eye lids and corners. This type of eye liner may come in a pencil, a cone or a compact with a brush applicator.
