eyeliner can transform the way you look and feel instantly.

So without further ado, let's take a look at the tools required for the task that will come in handy while applying the following styles.



Types of Eyeliner

Primarily, there are three types of eyeliners―pencil, liquid, and cream or powder. Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, any of these eyeliners can be used.

1. Pencil - Since pencil eyeliners are so easy to control, they are one of the most popular choices. To apply, all you have to do is glide it over the lash line and waterline. It comes in a wide range of colors, and can be sharpened quite easily.
2. Liquid - Using the liquid eyeliner takes a bit of skill and practice. It surely is tough to get it correct right away if you don't have steady hands. But once you get enough practice, the liquid liner can be used for bold, dramatic, and slick lines every time.
3. Cream or Powder - Apart from pencil and liquid eyeliners, you can use either cream-based eyeliners or charcoal gray and black eyeshadow. With an angled brush and eyeliner brush, you can easily get a creamy and smudge eyeliner. It may not be quite as noticeable as a pencil eyeliner, but it works wonders for smokey eyes.
