Today's eyeliners come in many different colors and forms but when making a selection of product, keep to those that provide a natural effect. Eyeliner pencils are available in many colors and can be sharpened for a fine line though it is recommended to stick to dark colours like brown or black. Smudged effects can be achieved by using an eye shadow brush or sponge tipped shadow applicators. A little tip when using pencils is that they can be softened by holding them between fingers and harden by storage in the fridge.

Mascara
Mascara puts the finishing touches on the eye by acentuating it and thickening and darkening the eyelashes. Many variants are available these days and thickening, waterproof and smudge proof are just some of the mascara types available. Keep in mind that while smudge proof mascara can wash off easily, waterproof mascara will require special removers. Always take care to select the right shade of mascara so that it complements the overall makeup.
