Best Eyeliner: Types and Features
Whether you prefer an eyeliner pencil, liquid eyeliner, or gel eyeliner — how you create your perfect line is entirely up to you.
Eyeliner Pencils for Beginners
A pencil like the Alcina Perfect Stay Kajal is the perfect eyeliner for beginners. Eyeliner pencils are easy to handle and rarely cause smudges or mistakes. With a small sponge tip, you can easily blend the kajal for a soft look — ideal for creating smokey eyes.
Liquid Eyeliners for Advanced Users
If the eyeliner is liquid, such as the Alcina Dip Black Eye Liner, you can work with great precision. However, be careful — once a liquid eyeliner has dried, it’s quite difficult to remove. If you struggle with the fine brushes, liquid eyeliner is also available in felt-tip form, such as the Stagecolor Eyeliner.
Gel Eyeliner for Professionals
A gel eyeliner, such as the one from Stagecolor, is applied thinly from a small pot using a fine, slightly angled eyeliner brush (Stagecolor Eyeliner Brush). This technique requires some skill, but the result is a highly precise line with excellent coverage that lasts seemingly forever.
Best Eyeliner: Waterproof Is a Must!
With waterproof eyeliners, you don’t have to worry about smudging. A waterproof eyeliner is one of the ultimate summer beauty must-haves, as it stays perfectly in place even while cooling off in the pool or the sea.
Colored Eyeliners: Which One Suits Me?
In addition to the classic black eyeliner, there are many trendy colors that can be matched to your individual style and features.
White Eyeliner
Black is yesterday’s news. Instead of the traditional smokey eyes, white eyeliner is especially on-trend during the warmer months. White visually opens up the eyes and flatters both fair and sun-kissed skin tones. On the runways of Paris and Milan, the white eyeliner look—reminiscent of the 1960s but far from retro—is appearing more and more frequently. Another bonus: white eyeliner is easy to apply, as small imperfections are barely noticeable.
Brown Eyeliner
Brown eyeliner creates a particularly natural look and embodies understated elegance. It appears softer than black eyeliner and can make the eyes look larger since it creates less contrast. Brown eyeliner works especially well with gray or brown eyes.
Green Eyeliner
Whether emerald, pine green, olive, or pistachio — green eyeliners are currently trending in all shades. They complement all hair colors, eye colors, and skin tones beautifully.

How to Apply Eyeliner Correctly
Creating the perfect eyeliner line is considered the ultimate challenge in makeup. However, with the right tips and techniques, even beginners can quickly master the art of applying eyeliner.
Drawing the Perfect Eyeliner Line for Beginners
When applying eyeliner, proper positioning is key. Rest your elbow on a stable surface, lift your head slightly, and look straight into the mirror. Start applying the eyeliner in the middle of your eyelid and draw the line outward toward the outer corner of your eye. Then, place the brush or pencil at the inner corner and draw the line toward the middle. This technique gives you better control and precision.
Blending Eyeliner
A slanted brush can be used to easily blend a kajal pencil. With black eyeliner, this technique can create soft gray tones around the corners of your eyes, giving you that signature smokey-eye look.
Using Eyeshadow as Eyeliner
Colorful eyeliner looks are trending! If you don’t have eyeliners in multiple shades, you can easily repurpose your eyeshadow as eyeliner. Simply apply the eyeshadow with an eyeliner brush along your upper lash line. For a more intense color payoff, slightly dampen the brush before picking up the eyeshadow — this will make the color appear bolder and more vibrant.
Applying Eyeliner on Hooded Eyes
For hooded eyes, it’s best to avoid applying kajal on the lower lash line. Light-colored kajal pencils help open up the eyes visually. The eyes also appear lifted if the eyeliner line on the upper lid is drawn very thin and ends with a subtle upward flick rather than a straight line.
Eyeliner for Men
Celebrities like Russell Brand and Adam Levine are showing how it’s done. A subtle eyeliner look for men can help accentuate dull or tired eyes, giving you a stronger and more confident appearance.

Which Eyeliner Suits Me?
The eyeliner style should match your eye shape:
- Almond-shaped eyes: Any type of eyeliner works well.
- Round eyes: Draw a straight line from the middle of the eyelid outward to make the eyes appear more elongated
- Hooded eyes: Apply eyeliner only halfway, starting from the middle of the eyelid. Extend the line two to three millimeters beyond the last lash to make the eyes look larger.
How to Apply Eyeliner
- Start applying eyeliner in the middle of the eyelid.
- Draw the line toward the outer corner of the eye.
- Place the brush or pencil at the inner corner of the eye.
- Draw the line toward the middle to connect both parts smoothly.
What Is the Difference Between Kajal and Eyeliner?
Unlike kajal, eyeliner is not a traditional pencil but rather applied with a small brush that distributes a liquid or gel-based color.
