We love, love, love liquid liner: It creates the most defined liner look as opposed to pencil or gel, and it tends to last longer, and with stronger pigment, than other formulations. Its singular downfall? To the uninitiated, approaching liquid liner application can be nothing short of terrifying. Because we’re borderline evangelistic about just how easy it can be once you’re comfortable with the process, we’re prepared to share our best advice on how to master liquid liner in no time at all.
If you’re a liquid liner virgin, a liner pen or marker, like Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner ($20, stilacosmetics.com), is the best (read: easiest) place to start. The “ink” is contained within the body of the pen, so there’s no mess to be made, and the familiar shape makes them easy to handle and apply. Because the tip is generally broader than other liners, it’s not as easy to draw super-defined cat eye wings or very thin lines, but you can always cheat by using a Q-tip to fine tune the look after.
Sponge or felt-tip wands like the one that comes with Maybelline Line Stiletto Ultimate Precision Liquid Eyeliner ($7.99, ulta.com) are slightly more advanced, because they involve dipping the wand back into the tube to reapply, but once you get the hang of it, the glide of a flexible felt tip makes it simple to master any look. A liner with a long tapered brush, like MAC Liquidlast Liner ($19.50, maccosmetics.com), is the most difficult to apply and certainly only for the steady-handed, but it’s the go-to for sharp, detailed looks and getting closest to the lash line.
Half the battle of mastering liquid liner is choosing the right product and brush that’s the most comfortable for you, but there are also tons of tips and tricks you can get acquainted with to make applying liquid liner practically child’s play. Below, you’ll find 15 of our favorites—they’re indispensable for getting the best liquid liner look possible, whether you’re going simple or severe.
