Eye liner or Eye
Pencil is a cosmetic used
to define the eyes. It is
applied around the contours
of the eye to create a variety
of aesthetic illusions.
Depending on its texture,
eyeliner can be softly
smudged or clearly defined.
There are four main formulas
available on the market: each
produces a different effect.
Liquid eye liner is an opaque
liquid that usually comes in a
small bottle and is applied
with a tiny brush or felt
applicator. It creates a sharp,
precise line. Powder-based
eye pencil is eyeliner in a
wood pencil. It is generally
available in dark matte
shades. Wax-based eye
pencils are softer pencils and
contain waxes that ease
application. Kohl eyeliner is a
soft powder available in dark
matte shades.
