A fine line, a classic wing or a bold graphic look: eyeliner can completely transform your eye makeup.
But there isn’t just one type of eyeliner. Pen, liquid or pencil? The right choice depends on the result you want to create and how much control you prefer during application.
Eyeliner Pen: For Easy, Controlled Application
If you’re new to eyeliner or simply want more control, a pen eyeliner can be a practical choice.
The Astra Make-Up Pure Beauty Pen Eyeliner features a felt tip designed to help create a clean and controlled line. Orea Project
Instead of trying to draw your entire line in one movement, start with small strokes close to the lash line and gradually connect them.
Pencil: For a Softer, Smudged Effect
Not every eye look needs a perfectly sharp line.
An eye pencil is ideal when you want softer definition, a smoky effect or extra intensity along the lash line.
The Astra Make-Up Professional Eye Pencil is available in different shades, giving you the option to move beyond classic black eyeliner. Orea Project
Want to Create a Classic Wing?
Winged eyeliner requires a little more precision, but you don’t have to create the entire shape in one movement.
Start by drawing a thin line close to your lashes. Then mark where you want your wing to end and gradually connect that point to your eyeliner.
Astra also recommends working with small strokes, particularly when you’re still getting comfortable with eyeliner application. Astra Make-Up
Black or Colourful Eyeliner?
Black eyeliner remains a classic choice when you want extra definition, but it’s far from your only option.
A brown, blue, green or colourful eyeliner can completely change your makeup without requiring several additional eye products.
For something more playful, the Astra Make-Up Duoversity Mascara + Eyeliner combines eyeliner and mascara in one 2-in-1 product and is available in multiple shades. Orea Project
So, Which Eyeliner Should You Choose?
There isn’t one eyeliner that’s right for every makeup look.
Choose a pen for control and clean lines, a pencil for a softer or smoky effect, and colour when you want to experiment.
Eyeliner is one of those makeup products that can completely change character depending on how you apply it. Start simple, experiment with different lines and find the style that feels most like you.
