LIQUID EYE LINER

Liquid Eyeliner Tip Types — Which Gives the Best Control?

• Ultra-Fine Tip (0.01mm–0.1mm): The thinnest possible lines — ideal for tight-lining and very precise liner close to the lash line
• Fine Felt-Tip Pen: The most popular format — firm, controlled tip makes wings achievable even for beginners. Consistent ink flow with minimal pooling
• Medium Felt-Tip Pen: Slightly broader for faster application and bolder, more dramatic lines
• Brush Tip / Ink Liner: Flexible brush loaded with liquid liner — most versatile but requires the most skill to control

How to Apply Liquid Eyeliner — Step by Step

• Step 1: Apply eyeshadow first — liquid liner is the final eye step before mascara
• Step 2: Use small overlapping dashes rather than one continuous stroke — easier to control and correct
• Step 3: For a wing: draw the flick first (following lower lash line extended upward), then connect back to the upper lash line
• Step 4: Fill any gaps with the tip of the liner after the main line is drawn
• Step 5: Allow to fully dry (30–60 seconds) before applying mascara to prevent smudging

Liner Mistakes and Fixes

• Wobbly lines: Rest your elbow on a flat surface and anchor your pinky on your cheekbone for a steadier hand
• Mistakes: Dip a cotton swab in micellar water and drag along the mistake edge without disturbing surrounding makeup
• Uneven wings: Make small marks at the tip of each desired wing first, then connect — guarantees symmetry
