What's on the Outside Counts



Liquid eyeliner. It's big, it's bold, it's a statement. But whether this statement is hot or not depends on the container of eyeliner you use.

Liquid eyeliner is sold in two packages. The first version provides you with a brush applicator. You have to dip the thick brush into the liquid eyeliner and then paint it onto your eye lids. Most people I know don't have a painter's hand with steady flow and find this process very difficult. You want a thin, straight, clean line of eyeliner on your lids, not a thick mess. Plus, when the liquid is exposed to air, it dries out quickly.

The second version of eyeliner is similar to a pen. It comes with a pen-like applicator, with the liquid already soaked into the tip. This thin, pointy, and precise tip is very easy to use and doesn't make a mess. If I'm drawing black lines across my eyelids, they better be precise. I find the design of this package to be much more practical and definitely worth the few extra bucks.

  1. Oh, I remember the messy eyeliner! Doesn't matter how steady my hand was, I still was getting two uneven lines, so one eye always looked bigger than the other. I love the pen eyeliner, so easy to apply and the tube lasts longer as well.

  2. The pen device is much nicer and has to be easier to use.
