I've only recently got
into winged eyeliner. This is mainly because I was completely rubbish
at getting a nice crisp line and a matching flick on the other eye.
Oh the struggle. And it takes longer and I'm lazy... But with a few
attempts I found a technique that worked for me and experimented with
thicker lines until I found the flick which suited me best. During
this whole time I was using a felt liner. And it worked very well for
me. Many people have commented about felt liners saying they
are not for beginners. So I was surprised it worked really well for
me. So, I thought I'd try out a brush liner and compare the two.
Felt tip Liners
I love this stuff.
Already got through three tubes... I also bought a blue one as I'm
going to do a bit of experimenting with vibrant colours and do a post
soon. It's easy to use, not too firm and just glides on.
Here are some photos where the liner was used:
I actually got this as
a freebie with a magazine I got a while ago. And it's amazing stuff!
It's a really dark black (if you know what I mean...) and creates a
gorgeous precise line. It is easy to create thin or thick lines with
this eyeliner.
Brush Liners
I can't get on with
this. I feel that it is an enemy! I thought it would be easier using
a brush but it seems it just isn't. There have been a few occasions
where I've tried this and just COMPLETELY ruined my eye make-up
resulting in me having to take it all off and start from scratch. Not
happy. Maybe it's just the brand I'm using or perhaps I just can't
get to grips with the brush. I find that the brush is SO hard to
control and just has a mind of its own. It's so hard to get a crisp
flick.
Here is a swatch of all the liners:
