Beauty 411 : Liquid Liner

This instalment of the Beauty: 411 shall be dedicated to Liquid Liner; that dreaded routine that causes a tense moment of breath holding for all of us. Mastering the art of the feline flick requires both practice as well as the right tools and I am here to share my goto high-end and high-street liners.

1. High-End

After my guilty Cult Beauty Haul, I made the discovery of the Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eyeliner and I have been putting it to the test since. I am happy to award this as the best liner in my collection and I would eagerly invest the £13.00 again to repurchase. 

This is in the style of a felt tip pen, which makes drawing a thin line along your lashes incredibly easy and the tip creates the perfect flick. An instantly opaque, pitch black line is revealed that dries almost immediately. 

Even on my oily, small lids this liner stays in place all day; a feature that I always struggle to find. Both gel and pencil liners instantly transfer onto my lid and will smudge after only a couple of hours. With this, I can rely on my feline flick sticking in place until I wash my makeup off at the end of the day.

2. High-Street

As a lover of liner and in my constant quest to find the perfect match, I have tried my fair share of drugstore offerings. My favourite one that I always return to is the L’Oreal Paris Super Liner, priced at a purse friendly £6.49. This has a thin, study sponge tip that allows you to draw an instantly dense, black line with ultimate precision.  

I love the Black Lacquer colour, which creates a shine finish; although this can easily be toned down by running a black eyeshadow over the top with a detail brush. This not only creates a matte finish but also adds to the wear time of your liner.

That’s it for this Beauty 411 and I hope you enjoyed this handful of tips and my suggestions for the best liners on the market. You can also read all about my favourite primers for a flawless finish in my previous 411 post.
