The eyeliner is one of the top beauty products to
date. Every girl should have a trusty eyeliner to trot along in any occasion
due to its handy and flexible use. Not to mention it definitely defines the eye
in mere seconds. Most women consider the use of such product as a daily
routine. Its function is to widen or narrow down the appearance of the eyes
through the clever use of an eyeliner pencil, powder, gel or in its liquid
form.

| Zooey Deschanel's hot pink eyeliner |
Most makeup artists consider the liquid eyeliner as a
timeless tool for beauty. In buying liquid eyeliners, girls are advised to
choose a brand, which promises immunity against chips and smears. Those
characteristics are lifesavers against common enemies such as sweating, crying
or swimming. The basic application of the liquid is to start at the upper lash
line in thin strokes. The strokes must come from the inner to the outer corners
of the eye. The resulting line is usually flawless. The basic eyeliner color is
of course black. However, as time changed so does the products hues. Many women
now have the option to choose from the more conservative brown up to the daring
pink or red. Many celebrities such as Zooey
Deschanel were seen wearing colors that are more provocative. In Descahnel’s
case, the color was a “hot pink” during the She and Him’s campaign for the music
video, entitled as “Don’t Look Back”. She did pull it off, but others may not
have the face and the confidence to wear this blaring color.
Most people may already know that the usage of this product
dates back from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. Formerly, the trend was to put a
dark black line around the eyes. Researchers consider that eyeliners back then
were used as protection against evil spirits. However, this was changed in the
1920’s after the Western world adapted the use of cosmetics. Women back then
became more liberal and there were a lot of changes in the fashion industry.
The evolution of the eyeliner continues up to this day wherein it was used by
both men and women. Eyeliners became more prominent as it was associated with
the Gothic and Punk fashion.
