There is nothing that can play up your eyes quite like eyeliner. It can be applied subtly to accent your eyes or applied dramatically to make your eyes pop. Eyeliner comes in many different colors, formulations and finishes. You can choose from liquid liners, kohl liners, pencils and crayons. Many people desire the look of liquid liners but steer clear of them because they require great precision and are less forgiving when it comes to making mistakes. Luckily now with introduction of hybrid liners you can achieve thick bold lines easily and quickly.
What It Is
A hybrid liner goes on with the consistency of a liquid, but is similar to a crayon in the way it wears and stays in place. Hybrid liners gives you the choice of a bold or thin line, depending on the look that you are going for. It is easy to use and correct, in case you make a mistake. Hybrid liners also have greater long wear then pencils, crayons and liquid liners because they are smudge-proof and stay in place. Hybrid liners come in waterproof formulas as well. This means that your liner will stay put through the day and night, coming off only when you want it to with makeup remover.
How To Use
The first thing that you will need to do is choose the right hybrid liner that will meet your needs.
Not all hybrid liners are made to achieve the same look, so take your time to select the right one. Some hybrid liners have a felt angled tip, where others may be more of a crayon texture which you apply directly to the eye lid. If you are unsure of what type of hybrid liner to choose, speak with the person working the cosmetic desk for tips or advice. The way that you apply your liner will depend on the look and liner you have chosen. You can use this liner the same way that you would a pencil or a liquid, by gently drawing a line close to the lash line, going over it more than once if you want a thick line. It is important to store your eyeliner in a cool place, keeping the lid on securely to prevent excess bacteria. Always remember to remove your eyeliner using makeup remover to prevent damage to the eye and possible infections from bacteria.
