Luxury eyeliners: line control, applicators and removal

Matching the applicator to a familiar gesture

Felt tips, fine brushes and pencils offer different kinds of control. Consider the width of line desired and the time available to correct an uneven section. Fluidity and setting speed also shape the application process; a graphic result depends on a formula that works with the way you prefer to draw.

Planning removal when choosing the liner

Resistant wear may require a suitable remover and enough contact time instead of repeated rubbing. Check whether the formula is permitted on the inner eye line, since the word eyeliner does not establish that use. Keep the applicator clean and observe the period-after-opening information provided on the product’s packaging.
