What is eyeliner and how to apply it?

For those who are new to the makeup world, welcome! Eyeliner is essentially a product that emphasises the shape of your eyes, and they come in several different formats, from pencil to felt tip.
It’s usually drawn along the upper lash line to enhance or exaggerate the eye shape. To help you achieve an easy cat-eye, start by marking small dots or dashes along the lash line as a guide and connect them. Then, look down or close your eyes for a few seconds to let them dry.
Once you’ve perfected the basics, you can go ahead and experiment with more graphic designs.

Compared to liquid liners, pencil eyeliners are much easier to control and apply, which is why they’re great for those who are in a rush. However, most pencil eyeliners require regular sharpening, like a normal pencil.

Best gel or cream eyeliners in Malaysia
Makeup artists or professionals often prefer the texture of gel or cream eyeliners, but they aren’t always the easiest to work with, especially if you’re a beginner.
However, gel liners are known to be the best at being waterproof, so they offer great wear time. Since these formulas are often made with wax, it’s best to invest in an oil cleanser or effective micellar water to remove them.
