In your opinion, what makes a great liner?

Pete Kislingbury

In my opinion, the key to a great liner is threefold: it needs to be highly pigmented, easy to apply, and long-lasting. When it comes to pigmentation, I want my liner to be bold and intense – something that will really make my eyes pop! I prefer darker colors like black or deep brown, but I’ve also seen some stunning liners in bright colors like blue and purple. The important thing is that the pigment is strong and consistent, so I don’t have to keep going over the same spot to get the color I want.

The second factor is ease of application. I don’t have a ton of time to spend on my makeup in the morning, so I need a liner that I can apply quickly and easily without any fuss. I’ve found that felt-tip liners are really user-friendly – they’re almost like using a marker on your eyelid! Gel liners are also great, but they can be a bit more fiddly to apply if you’re not used to working with a brush. Whatever the application method, I want my liner to glide on smoothly and evenly without smudging or smearing.

Finally, longevity is key. I don’t want my liner to fade or flake off halfway through the day – that’s just frustrating! Ideally, I’d like my liner to stay in place for at least 8 hours without any touch-ups necessary. Waterproof formulas are great for this, but they can also be a bit harder to remove at the end of the day. I’ve also had success with long-wear eyeliners that don’t claim to be waterproof – they seem to have some kind of magic formula that keeps the color vibrant and in place for hours on end.

Of course, everyone’s preferences will be different when it comes to liners. Some people might prioritize a particular finish (like matte or shimmer), while others might want a liner that’s easy to smudge for a more smoky effect. Some might prefer a pen-style liner over a brush or vice versa. Ultimately, the great thing about makeup is that you can experiment and find what works best for you.
