If you suck at liquid eyeliner (like me)…

No matter how hard I try, I still haven’t been able to master (or even remotely pull off) liquid eyeliner. I know I’m not the only one either. I have three product suggestions that will help you either mimic the look of liquid eyeliner or help you in your quest to master liquid eyeliner.

1. Revlon ColorStay Crème Gel Eye Liner in 001 Black
This is a gel liner that is applied with a brush that is contained within the product’s top (so convenient). The brush is good quality and applies the product nicely. This gel liner mimics the look of liquid eyeliner, is easy to apply and has lasting power. I get a little bit on the brush and press it into my lash line. It is also easier for me to draw on different looks (e.g., cat eye) with the brush than it is for me to use pen-style liquid liner. I picked this up from CVS during one of my Savings Series trips.

2. Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real! Push-Up Liner in 01 Black
            I talked about this gel liner in my February Product Empties. It is a good intermediate step between a gel liner applied with a brush and liquid liner because it is pen-style, but the applicator is slanted like an eyeliner brush to make applying the product super easy. It takes a few tries to get used to this product and how much liner to twist up into the applicator. It is very long lasting. From reviews online (e.g., Sephora, YouTube) this is a love it or hate it product, and I happen to like it.

3. Jordana FabuLiner Liquid Eye Liner in Black
            This brand can be found at Walgreens and this liquid eyeliner was around $3. The FabuLiner washes off very easily so I suggest using it to practice applying liquid liner. If you mess up, no worries, just wipe it off. I use this to practice drawing a cat eye and to get used to holding a pen-style liner. It is easy to very the thickness of the line. It tends to fade throughout the day so I would suggest tracing the liner with a longer lasting liner if you are happy with the look you created. This is definitely my suggestion for liquid liner beginners.
