Not all girls can draw beautiful and even arrows quickly and efficiently. And even when the hand is well filled, it is not always possible to display the graphic arrow. It depends not only on skill and experience, but also on the product that is used. It is important to choose a good eyeliner so that it is comfortable to work with. Then the line will be obtained the first time, which will save time spent on makeup.

Experts have prepared a rating that includes 13 eyeliners. Based on user reviews and ratings from professional makeup artists, we have selected only the best products.

What to look for when choosing an eyeliner

1. Eyeliner type. In cosmetic stores, you can find a variety of types: in the form of a pencil, felt-tip pen, as well as gel and classic liquid. For beginners, the first two are perfect, and for those who already know how to draw arrows well, the last. Liquid is the most difficult to draw a straight line, so it is best not to take on such a product until the skill level reaches the desired level.

2. Persistence. Beautiful arrows should hold on for a long time, throughout the day, without leaving prints on the eyelid, without crumbling, without fading or smearing. The stable formula of the product will ensure that the arrows will stay in place in any situation. For greater confidence, you should choose a waterproof option, so that even if you get caught in the rain or sweat from active dancing, you should know that nothing threatens the eyeliner. The probe will allow you to test the product. Draw a line on the back of your hand and see how long it lasts. After the product has dried, slide your finger over it to make sure nothing is crumbling. Very dry eyeliners tend to peel off, so you should choose soft textures that literally 'float' over the skin during application.

3. Ease of application. The line should be obtained with one touch. To do this, pay attention to products that contain emollients (special oils, glycerin). After purchase, make sure that the liner is tightly closed and does not dry out under the influence of air.

4. Brush. It should be thin so that the line is the same. Moderately long for ease of application, and not very soft, but elastic, then it will be easier to draw a clear arrow. There are also beveled brushes that come with jars of gel liners. They are similar to professional ones, but slightly simplified. If this does not suit you, then you can replace it by buying the one that you like more in work.

5. Composition. In addition to polymers and coloring components, vitamins, nutrients and other things are desirable. After all, the eyeliner is on the eyelids, which are the most delicate part of the face, are often irritated. Avoid products that cause redness and itching. Refuse to use them, as an allergic reaction is a sign indicating that this eyeliner is not suitable and there is an individual intolerance to the components.
