Frequently Asked Questions About Our Eyeliner
1. Which type of eyeliner is best for beginners?
For those new to eyeliner, pencil eyeliners are often recommended due to their ease of control and application. They allow for precise lines and can be smudged for a softer look. As skills develop, experimenting with gel or liquid eyeliners can offer different finishes and styles.
2. How should eyeliner be applied to mature eyes?
For mature eyes, it's advisable to apply a thin line of eyeliner close to the upper lash line to define the eyes without making them appear smaller. Using softer shades, such as brown or gray, can provide a more natural look. Avoid heavy application on the lower lash line, as it can accentuate fine lines.
3. Does eyeliner go above or below the lashes?
Eyeliner is traditionally applied above the upper lashes to enhance eye shape and lash fullness. While it can be applied below the lower lashes for added definition, doing so requires careful blending to avoid a harsh appearance. Tightlining the waterline is another technique but should be done cautiously to prevent eye irritation.
4. What is the easiest type of eyeliner to apply?
Pencil eyeliners are generally considered the easiest to apply, making them ideal for beginners. They offer control and can be easily corrected if mistakes occur. Gel eyeliners with a brush provide a smooth application, while liquid eyeliners require a steadier hand for precise lines.
5. Is liquid or pencil eyeliner better for mature eyes?
For mature eyes, pencil eyeliners are often preferable due to their softer finish and ease of blending. Liquid eyeliners can be used but may emphasize fine lines if not applied carefully. Choosing formulas that glide smoothly without tugging the skin is essential.
6. How can I prevent my eyeliner from smudging under my eyes?
To prevent eyeliner from smudging, start by applying an eyeshadow primer to create a smooth base. Opt for waterproof or long-wearing formulas and set the eyeliner with a matching eyeshadow to lock it in place. Avoid applying creamy products over the liner, as they can cause smudging.
7. What color eyeliner makes eyes look bigger?
Using nude or white eyeliner on the lower waterline can make the eyes appear larger and more awake. Additionally, applying a thin line of dark eyeliner close to the upper lash line and extending it slightly can create the illusion of bigger eyes. Avoid heavy liner on the lower lash line, as it can make eyes look smaller.
8. How long does it take to receive my eyeliner order?
Orders typically take 5-7 business days for standard ground shipping within the United States. If you need your eyeliner faster, USPS First Class/Priority Mail delivers in 1-3 business days. For international orders, delivery times vary between 1 to 4 weeks, depending on the shipping method and destination.
9. Do you offer free shipping on eyeliner orders?
Yes! We offer free standard shipping on orders over $35 within the continental U.S. before tax and shipping fees. If your eyeliner purchase does not qualify, shipping costs will be calculated at checkout based on location and weight. You can check our Shipping and Refund Policy.
10. Can I return or exchange an eyeliner if I’m not satisfied?
Due to hygienic reasons, eyeliner products cannot be returned once opened. However, if your order is unused, unopened, and in its original packaging, you can return it within 30 days for store credit. For any issues, feel free to contact info@rudecosmetics.com.
