Water Activated Liner Palette, a.k.a cakeliner, is not complicated to understand and is actually fun to use. They pack some significant improvements compared to regular eyeshadows and are known for their bold and striking colours. 

If you have kept yourself updated with the latest fashion trends, eyeliners have seen many new transitions. These include liquid eyeliner, retractable eyeliner and now water activated eyeliners. This article will discuss the last type of eyeliner and its use so that you can get that perfect look you are after. So without further ado, let's start digging in.

What is a Water Activated Liner Palette?
A liner palette or eyeliner palette is what we all know that can be used immediately with an appropriate brush. On the other hand, water-activated liners, as the name suggests, work only when they come into contact with water. Once blended with water, they transform into vibrant and glossy pigments. These pigments will have a semi-solid consistency somewhere like a liquid and cream. Speaking of cream, how can we forget to mention the Creamy Smooth Longwear Gel Eyeliner? It remains the editor's favourite, and we recommend you check it out.

As the name suggests, the Water Activated Liner Palette is a palette of these water-hungry eyeliners with different shades. These palettes are becoming very popular and are loved by people who are into artistic pain makeup. They come in various colours, which are fun to experiment with and are more in demand in teens and early twenties beauties. 

What are their Advantages?

1. Because they are not very watery, these eyeliners are great for people who want their eyeliners to be smooth during the application without making any mess.

2. They can also be used as reliable body and face paint.

3. They resemble face paints in terms of their functions and the nature of pigmentation. But they are much safer to use than paints and last longer too. 

4. They are also frequently used for tightening and bring a vibrant, striking appearance to the waterline.

How to Use Cakeliners?

Using them is a breeze and brings visible results in significantly less time. Just follow these steps and get the most out of them:

1. First things first, apply an eye primer on the entire eye skin patch. This makes the skin and any form of makeup which you will do smooth and even looking. If you are out of primer, then a concealer or thin coat of foundation will also do. 

2. Apply the eyeshadow of your choice. Make sure that the one you choose goes well with your eyeliner in the next step. We recommend using the Explorer Eyeshadow Palette as it features all the latest and trending eye colours in quality and price, which is hard to beat and has given excellent results to our models.

3. For using the eyeliner, we recommend using the setting spray for a longer-lasting boost for your cakeliner. If you don't have the spray, then clean water will also do. 

4. For a softer look, you will need to dilute the pigment and vice versa for a bold look. 

5. Use an angled or thin eyeliner brush to pick up your eyeliner. 

6. For using the water-activated eyeliner for tightlining, make sure that the pigment is in a thicker texture, i.e. don't use too much water and only use a setting spray.

7. Use an angled brush to do tightlining with water-activated eyeliners.

8. Once you are done with the makeup, removing them is also very easy since they are not waterproof. Just a cotton pad soaked with makeup remover will do the job. Hold the pad on the eyes for a few seconds and gently wipe the traces of your eyeliner. 

Conclusion：

Keep in mind that these eyeliners are not waterproof since their formulae are based on water, making them easily soluble. But they are made smudge-proof, so there is a give and take here. Very popular among famous influencers on TikTok and Instagram, the cakeliners are known for their bold eye makeup looks and look great in live streams and short videos. They are used in simple eye shaping to complex designs and are nowadays considered the main ingredient for an artistic and vibrant look.
