Liner Formulas
There are several eyeliner formulas: powdered shadow, eye pencil,
liquid, cake, or gel liner. Each has its advantages and specific
application techniques.

slightly rounded tip.
Eyeliner pencils are easy to use, and you can carry several shades
with you. However, pencil liners have a creamy consistency

with practice, you can achieve incredible results. These liners
are extremely long wearing, very precise, and a good choice for
creating dramatic looks.
lids! You can line just the top and
not the bottom, but dont line either
lid halfway. Lining from the inner
corner to the outer corner will help
open up the eye.
Do apply liner as close as pos-
sible to the lash line, making sure
there is no gap. This has the added
benefit of making lashes look fuller
and lush.
Do apply liner thinnest at the
inner corner of the eye and thicken
the line as it moves outward. This
accentuates the eyes shape and
gives the eyes a lift.
Do make the top and bottom
lines of liners meet at the inside
and outside corners to make the
eyes appear larger.
