Black Liquid Pen Eyeliner

Description

Our Mooiste Meisie Black Liquid Pen Eyeliner is a deep black liquid eyeliner in a pen format with a fine, flexible precision tip. It gives you the rich colour of a traditional liquid liner with the control of a pen, so you can draw a thin lash line, a soft flick or a sharp, graphic wing with less mess.

What is a liquid pen eyeliner?

A liquid pen eyeliner holds the liner inside the pen and feeds it to a felt-style tip. Compared with a dip brush or pot, a pen gives you:

• Consistent flow of colour in every stroke
• Better grip and stability for steadier lines
• Quicker, cleaner application with nothing to dip or wipe

This makes it easy for beginners while still giving make-up artists the precision they need.

Key features

• Deep black pigment. One stroke gives bold, saturated colour, so you do not need to layer.
• Waterproof and smudge-resistant. Once set, the liner is made to resist humidity, sweat and tears and to reduce transfer. This is helpful if your lids tend to be oily.
• Precision tip. The fine, flexible tip lets you control the thickness of your line, from barely there to dramatic.
• Quick setting. The liner sets quickly so you can open your eyes and carry on with your look.

How to apply liquid eyeliner

1. Prep the lid. Start with clean, dry lids. If your lids are oily, set them with a little translucent powder or eyeshadow first.
2. Shake gently. A gentle shake helps the colour flow evenly.
3. Work in short strokes. Start at the inner corner and work outwards in small strokes rather than one long line. Short strokes are easier to control.
4. Add a wing if you like. Follow the natural angle of your lower lash line towards the end of your brow, then join it to the upper line. Build gradually so both eyes match.
5. Let it set for a few seconds before blinking widely.

Tips for different eye shapes

• Hooded eyes: keep the line thin along the lash line and extend the wing slightly outwards rather than upwards, so it stays visible when your eyes are open.
• Almond eyes: suit classic and dramatic wings. Thicken the outer corner for extra lift.
• Round eyes: focus the liner on the outer half of the eye and extend it slightly to elongate the shape.
• Monolids: build thickness gradually. A straight, slightly longer wing gives the most definition.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Pressing too hard. A light touch gives a smoother, more even line.
• Lining over wet or creamy eyeshadow. Let cream products set, or powder them first.
• Storing it tip down for long periods. Store your pen horizontally or tip up.
• Rushing the wing. Mark the end point first with a small dot, then connect it.

Removing waterproof eyeliner

Because the formula is waterproof, use an oil-based or micellar make-up remover. Hold a soaked pad on the closed eye for a few seconds, then wipe gently outwards rather than rubbing. Our Micellar Cleansing Water is a gentle option.

Complete the look

Pair your liner with Extreme Volume Mascara and a shade from our Build Your Eyeshadow, Blush or Highlighter Palette. For a softer, smudgeable line on the lower lash line, try our Eye Pencils.

Safety

• Do not share eye make-up.
• Close the cap firmly after use so the tip does not dry out.
• Stop using if your eyes become irritated, and take care if you wear contact lenses.
