Do you know how to use cream eyeliner? Here is all you need to know

How to use cream eyeliner? Eyeliner is a must-have for makeup beginners, it gives a different definition to the eyes. In fact, compared with liquid eyeliner and eyeliner pencil, the cream liner is easier for coloring and mastering, so it’s the best choice for beginners.

The cream eyeliner is exactly what its name implies; it is a creamy product that is frequently available in a little pot or in pencil shape. You will need an angled brush to apply it if you buy it in a pot. If you're bored of your eyeliner fading over the day, the cream liner is a fantastic option. It applies easily and creates a velvety look.

Tips on using cream eyeliner

1. Choose a proper eyeliner brush
A nice brush is a key point if you are using a cream liner that comes in a pot. Cream eyeliner should be used with a professional eyeliner brush. Eyeliner brushes are divided into many types. The most convenient and suitable one is the flat-angled brush. The bristles of an angled brush are soft, and the flat side can easily form a line, which is convenient for drawing precise lines.

2. Form the shape
Dip the eyeliner brush with a little eyeliner and brush it along the root of the lashes. Use the side of the flat brush head to draw eyeliner and stick it to the root of the lashes. If the eyeliner cannot be completed in one stroke, it can also be divided into three short lines: the corner of the eye, the center of the eyelid, and the outer corner of the eye, and complete in order.

3. The use of the brush
Do not dip in too much eyeliner cream, just cover the brush surface evenly, and the angle between the brush head and the eyelid should be kept at about 45 degrees, so as not to scratch. It’s best for beginners to draw eyeliner before curling eyelashes.

4. Smudge effect
Before you can use a cotton swab to slightly smudge the drawn line to create a smoky effect, which is impossible for ordinary eyeliner or liquid eyeliner!

5. Clean up

You can use a paper towel or cotton swab to smooth out the edges and apply some concealer around the edges to enhance the sharpness.

Cream eyeliner Vs. Gel eyeliner
Because they are thicker and apply more vividly, both cream and gel eyeliners are used more frequently. The paste-like consistency of the cream and gel eyeliners makes it easy to apply them using a brush. Only the upper lash line should be lined with cream or gel eyeliner since doing so might irritate the lower lash line.

Although gel and cream eyeliners have many characteristics in common, they also differ greatly. Creamy materials make up cream eyeliners. The cream eyeliners are available in pencil or tube form. The eyes may seem more natural when using a cream eyeliner since they are velvety smooth.

The primary distinction between cream and gel eyeliner is that whereas gel eyeliner creates an artificial eye appearance, cream eyeliner delivers a more natural appearance. Gel eyeliner is the ideal choice for a dramatic appearance. When contrasted with the longevity of cream eyeliner, gel eyeliner also lasts longer.

How to apply cream eyeliner?

1. Dab some eyeliner with your brush and place the side of your hand on your cheek to add support, which will help create smoother lines.

2. Starting from the middle of your upper lash line and working outwards with short smooth strokes. Remember to allow yourself to blink as you go along and don’t strain your eyes, or you will blink suddenly.

3. Once you have lined the outer edge, start working closer to the inner corner with short smooth strokes and join to the middle as you go. When you draw the other side of your eye, switch your eyeliner over, place it on your cheek for support, and repeat. Drawing a line just on the lash line will make the lashes look thicker.

4. Then you need to add the flick. Support your hand but turn the liner so the thinner tip is pointing upwards. Pick a point extending upwards from your upper lash line and lightly sketch in a line on both sides. Compare the line carefully to make sure they are even before you continue. If one is higher or lower, you can adapt it to the next step.

5. Thicken up the line even higher or lower, or just fill it in once you’re happy with the shape. Join the tip of the line to your lash line, sweeping inwards to create a smooth curve. If you tend to create a more dramatic look, extend the tip slightly outwards.
