Liquid Eyeliner Tip No. 2: Experiment With Applicators
Liquid Eyeliner Tip No. 2: Experiment With Applicators Do you always use the included brush in an eye shadow palette? We didn't think so. The same goes for liquid eyeliner. One of Blaire's essential words of wisdom for how to apply liquid eyeliner is that you don't have to be held hostage to the included felt tip applicator.

"Some like the felt tip, others do better with a brush," Stewart explains. If you like an angled look, try swapping out the included applicator for an angled brush (try M.A.C. 266 Small Angled Brush, $20); if you're going for a thin, smooth line, opt for a fine brush for more precise, one-stroke application (try M.A.C. 210 Precise Eye Liner Brush, $20). "Experiment to find what applicator works best for you," says Stewart. Though you tend to see makeup artists using brushes on other people, they might go for the felt tip when lining their own eyes. It all depends on what you're used to, how you operate. "Everyone's hand is slightly different," says Stewart.
