Eyeliner is a crucial part of my daily make-up routine. The eyeliner that I select each morning/night is dependent upon my mood, outfit and event. While I have an eclectic assortment of makeup products and brands, I am partial to MAC eye products. Three all time favorites are pictured above:
1. Mac Carbon matte eye shadow (ok so it’s actually an eye shadow, but bare with me here)2. Rapid black Penultimate eye liner
3. Blitz & Glitz fluid liner
Each eyeliner has a special spot in my heart. As you can see from the samples above each one has a distinct look.
1. I use Sephora’s angled liner #15 brush to apply Mac Carbon matte eye shadow. This one is the most time consuming to apply, is it does not go on with one swift motion. This look requires a steady hand and a little patience. However, I think it is well worth it. With the carbon matte liner you can control how light or dark as well as thick or thin you want the line to be. The powdery substance keeps the look soft. The only drawback is that the powder leads to fall out. I recommend have a makeup remover handy so that you can wipe up the loose particles that fall on your cheeks.
2. The Rapid Black Penultimate liner is my daily go-to. As you can see, it is the thinnest of all three liners and creates a clean straight line. As the name suggests, this liner really is shaped like a pen, which makes it super easy to apply.
3. Finally, the Blitz & Glitz fluid liner is the thickest and darkest of the three. I prefer to use this liner for special occasions and nights out. It is perfect when creating the cat eye or a mod look. Typically, when creating a thick fluid line, I will forgo the shadow and keep my lids bare. In order to apply this one, I prefer using Bobbi Brown’s ultra fine eye liner brush.
Happy eye lining!
