People have been using eyeliner to highlight their eyes for 10,000 years at least, since the time of the Ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamians.
Today, eyeliner is more popular than ever – and with modern, scientifically formulated eyeliners, it’s safer, longer-lasting and more effective too.
The best eyeliner for the job
Eyeliner is available in six main types – kohl, liquid, gel, wax-based eye pencils, powder-based eye pencils and shimmer liner, in different bright colours.
Best waterproof eyeliner in South Africa
For eyeliner that won’t leave you looking like a panda by tea time, choose a waterproof eyeliner with a marker-like tip. This kind of tip makes it easier to draw crisp, clean lines.
How to apply eyeliner
Start by creating a line above your lashes.
Stand in front of a mirror, look slightly down and, gently, use a finger to pull outwards on the corner of your eye. This will pull your lid straight.
Instead of trying to draw a single, clean line, use smaller lines and strokes to build up the line, as close to the lash as possible. This is much easier and results in a smoother line.
If you choose, follow by adding a line just above your lower lashes. Look slightly down while you do this.
Don’t pull the skin hard and steer clear of overly heavy lining under the eye. Most important of all – don’t rush!
How to apply liquid eyeliner
Apply liquid eyeliner by drawing dots or dashes on the edge of your eyelid before slowly connecting them.
Make sure your “wings” are even by placing a dot at the outer corner of your eye before matching up the sides.
