At the present time, contour pencils familiar to every woman are most often used for such an effect. To use this cosmetic product easily, you need to choose it correctly, taking into account several important criteria at once.

Experts have compiled a rating of the 9 best eyeliners, which will make it much easier for you to find the best option.

5 tips for choosing an eyeliner

1. Choosing a material. It is better if the pencil is made of solid wood than plastic. But on the modern market, plastic analogs appear more and more, because they are more convenient and practical. Although, from a medical point of view, eye health can be adversely affected, for example, cause allergies. The tree, of course, if it is not compressed sawdust, has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects.

2. We look at the quality. There should be no plaque on the lead. If suddenly there is one, then you should refuse to purchase. Most often, its appearance indicates that the expiration date has expired or the ingredients in the composition have deteriorated, which affected the quality.

3. We are testing. Before you buy an eyeliner, be sure to try it out. Get the help of special testers by drawing a line on your hand to see the color, line thickness, etc.

4. We evaluate the line. It should be clear and even, without blotches, bald spots in color and other things. At the same time, it is important, if it is not a waterproof pencil, that the line is easy to shade.

5. Pay attention to hardness / softness. Leads that are too soft will leave a greasy mark on the upper eyelid. These pencils can also 'leak' or smudge. But such options are still good, for example, for the smoky eyes technique. Too hard, on the contrary, it will be difficult to shade, and indeed to apply on the eyelid without damaging the delicate skin. Therefore, for everyday makeup, choose pencils with a medium-hard lead.
