LIQUID vs GEL EYELINER: part 1 - LIQUID EYELINER*

There is always a battle between gel and liquid eyeliners. I personally use both it depends on my look. A lot of you asked me which I recommend? But I would have to say it matters what you are looking for. Do you want easy, no mess application, or maybe bold, matte finish cat eye look?
For easier understanding and choosing what you want to try and use for your makeup routine I will get a little more in detail down below. I will also show you the process of application, so you will exactly see what you can expect. 


Že od nekdaj obstaja bitka med tekočim črtalom za oči in tistim v gelu. Sama uporabljam oba, odvisno je le od tega kakšen look hočem doseči. Veliko punc me je vprašalo katerega priporočam, oziroma katerega naj uporabljajo? Vendar moram reči da je vse odvisno od tega kaj želite doseči. Ali želite enostavno aplikacijo ali mogoče malo bolj poudarjeno linijo cat eye?
Za lažje razumevanje in pa enostavnejšo izbiro med sledečima oblikama črtal za oči, vam bom podrobneje predstavila oba (danes tekočega). Kasneje vam pokažem tudi potek aplikacije obeh črtal, da si boste vse skupaj tudi lažje predstavljale. 



LIQUID EYELINER

It is available in a "pen" form. It can have different tips, the form for application. It can be long bristles, or very hard foam kind of a tip. I have to say that I prefer the second one, because you have a lot more control. Like I said before - longer the handle, more precise you can be. So if you have very short liquid liner top (like essence liners have), it will be harder to have a control of a perfect line. If you just started to do makeup, or you are new in the eyeliner world, I suggest to try first with liquid liners. They are much easier to start with and it also gives you time to correct the line, which you don't have with the gel form. 

Navadno je pakiran v embalaži v obliki svinčnika, bodisi je ta majhen ali pa večji. Razlikujejo se le po konici, s katero nanašamo produkt. Najprej imamo tiste ki imajo zelo tanek in dolg čopič, nato pa še tiste, ki imajo konico oblikovano v špičasto peno, ki je malo trša na otip. Svetovala bi vam da pri sledečih črtalih upoštevate da je bolje imeti daljši ročaj na pokrovčku, saj imate tako večji nadzor nad linijo, in ste posledično tudi bolj natančne. Na žalost večina essence eyelinerjev tega preprosto nima. Če ste nove v svetu ličil, in se s črtali za oči šele spoznavate, bi vam svetovala da mogoče najprej poskusite s tekočo obliko, saj boste z njim ustvarile veliko bolj natančno in precizno linijo. 






Also I have very special announcment for all of my readers and followers. You all have 10% off purchase with the code NIKAH10 in BORN PRETTY online store
Both of the liners are also available in the this online store. You have free shipping worldwide and it ships within 24 hours.

Na koncu pa imam zelo posebno ponudbo za vse moje bralke. V spletni tgovini BORN PRETTY imate 10% popusta na nakup s kodo NIKAH10.
Obe črtali za oči, ki sem vam jih podrobneje predstavila, sta dostopna na spletni trgovini. Poleg tega imajo brezplačno poštnino po celem svetu in pošiljajo v roku 24 ur.

I would be a boy, probably my boyfriend. Because I would love to pee like a boy, lol. I would love to experience how it's like if you are not intersted in make-up, hair, nails, and just don't care. I would be like Beyonce in If I was a boy ;)
