- Eyeliner pertama yang saya punya. Saya menggunakan eyeliner pinsil untuk waterline Shade engraved ini warnanya hitam matte. Teksturnya creamy, easy to apply, warnanya pigmented, sayang sekali staying powernya kurang ok untuk waterline saya yang berair, hanya bertahan sekitar 1-2jam saja, untungnya tidak membuat mata panda.

Black eyeliner is one of the most popular and widely used eyeliner that defines eyes well, making them brighter. With it, you can create cat eyes eyeliner, the popular Hollywood smokey eye gaze, an amazing weekend look or even a ‘cool chick’ look. However, it has a tendency of making things to look shrunken and receded if not used well. This is why most makeup artists will recommend to you to avoid using it on your lower eyelid, especially during the day to make your eyes open and awake.
Choosing Black Eyeliners
Metallic, shimmer and matte finishes. Smooth to apply. Won't transfer, smudge or budge. Powers your eyes. Makes its point. Lasts and lasts.
When choosing these eyeliners, you need to know that they come in different shades i.e. darkest, dark , medium dark,medium and light shades. In addition, you have a wide range of forms to choose from which includepencil, liquid, powder, creamy, glittery, kohl, waterproof, cake, etc. Generally, pencil black eyeliners are the most common in public domain.
However, liquid and cream black eyeliners are slowly creeping into the public domain with many people turning to them. If you want smokey eyes or rock-chick messy looks, cream will be ideal. It is also ideal for less smudging or if you are inexperienced, you will find it great. Liquids will be great in giving you the cat eye looks, since, it gives defined lines that are much shinier when it dries.

Black eyeliner can be used to give different looks. How you will end up looking like, is dependent what you want. V-gear mytv video driver download for windows 10. Some of the popular looks you can achieve with these eyeliners include the following:
Natural looks – People who want natural looks need to use thin and very fine lines on their lash lines. This will give your eyes a pop up look andfuller eyelashes.
Dramatic Looks – If you want a dramatic look, you will need to slightly smudge it after applying it using a cotton swab or your fingers,
Small Eyes – People who have small eyes should avoid lining their top lash line with black liner. However, they can line their lower lash line with black and use a brighter color (e.g. gray) for the upper lash line. However, lining only the top lash line with it and applying white eyeliner on water lines will make the eyes to look bigger.
Big Set Eyes – If you have big eyes, line both your water and lash line to make them look seductive and smaller.
Deep Set Eyes – to get rid of the sleepy look on your deep-set eyes, use it on your waterline and both lashes but only up to a one-third distance, from your outer eye corners. Winging your eyeliner will be good for emphasis.
Hooded Eyes – Since the brow bone covers the eyelid, it can be tricky if you have hooded yes. You can however apply black liner on your upper lash line and add some fake or false lashes to help make your eyes pop up. If you want, you can thicken line drawn to strengthen your looks.

Hello all you pretty MABHians 🙂
I am back after short hiatus from reviewing, but I am all charged have some great reviews lined up only for you. I hope you are all enjoying the much awaited monsoons. This in fact is my favorite time of the year. I love the sound of rains and cool breeze in my balcony sipping chai with pakoras. mmm drooling already 😉
Monsoons also call for the need of a great skin care regime and good quality makeup products. So today I’ll be reviewing one such great product; a nice black eye pencil/liner that’s a must for every woman’s vanity bag.
Price & Quantity:
Rs 1100 for 1.2 gm/0.04 US OZ
Key Ingredients:
My Take:
The pencil comes in a signature Black MAC case with sleek long MAC eye pencil with black bottom and gray cap.
The color is not the blackest of black but it does come off as nice black with creamy smooth and glide on eye formula with mild kohl kind of smell.
This is the best eye pencil I’ve used by far and I’m not saying this because its MAC but because its quality speaks for itself. It’s really waterproof, smudge proof, non transferring as it claims and no pulling or tugging required 🙂 The formula does not sting/itches my eyes at all so much so that I once took a nap with the liner on and still my eyes did not sting or itch at all after waking up.
The consistency is very smooth and creamy and glides on eye lids and gives an ultimate matte finish to the eyes, it stays where it is even after 12+ hours even on the super oily lids like mine. Yay!! (Happy dance)
Before and After Water Test:
Staying power is super awesome for both lids and waterline. It can be smudged for a smokey if freshly applied but after its sets after about a minute it stays and stays for good 🙂
I like all kinds of liners but I love the pencil ones the most. This one eye pencil did burn a hole in my pocket but because it does what it claims, I really don’t mind it!!
This has become my HG eye pencil, don’t think will ever get tired of using it.
On My Eyes:
