Eyeliner: An Introduction
Maybe you’re liner-obsessed, or maybe you’re an eyeliner newbie getting the hang of things. It doesn’t matter where you fall on the spectrum of eyeliner usage—or lack thereof—because from novice to expert, there’s plenty to go around. The first thing to know is that there’s a wide array of eyeliner types, and they can each achieve a different look. Here, we’ll tell you where exactly to begin—or, for the experts out there, perhaps where to go next.

Pencil Eyeliners
Choosing an eyeliner is highly personal, but the pencil eyeliner is an amazing choice for all types of looks and styles—especially for beginners. Its texture offers versatility in all the right ways, letting you personalize to your exact liking in the creation of lighter, more delicate looks or buildable smoky eye looks, and all the way to the less than subtle cat eye.
Wondering which one is right for you? Get ready to pencil us in. The 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil was voted Readers’ Choice by Glamour in the 2021 Beauty Awards for best liner—and for good reason. As its name suggests, its ultra-creamy consistency lends to a smooth, buttery application that, matched with up to 16 hours of long-wear, lets you create looks that last. This pencil is the perfect match for those seeking a wide range of colors and finishes (like metallic, matte, shimmer, glitter, and satin) for buildable, custom-feel final looks.
Other ways to wear:
- Create precision-forward lines or opt for a smoky, smudged look.
- Layer your look, using your pencil as a base layer for shadow.
- Stay sharp with the essential Grind House Double Barrel Sharpener.
The 24/7 Waterproof Waterline Eyeliner Pencil is another great option for those looking to up their eye game. Applying an eyeliner pencil along the waterline creates the illusion of fuller lashes while accentuating the eye’s natural shape. This waterline eyeliner pencil is not only waterproof but comes in 6 essential matte and shimmer neutrals to effortlessly brighten and define eyes. Plus, made with Vitamin E, jojoba and cottonseed oils, you get a skin-supporting blend that keeps you smooth and nourished with up to 24 hours of wear.
Liquid Eyeliners
Liquid eyeliners up the ante on eye looks. With precision tips, liquid eyeliners are often reserved for those that love a strong final eye look, and know what they’re doing. The 24/7 Inks Easy Ergonomic Liquid Eyeliner Pen creates the exact look you want, exactly how you want it. Also in the name, its ergonomic design creates an easy grip hold for a professional feel that keeps you in control. Highly-pigmented and in a wide range of shades, its shape was inspired by professional paint brushes to create vivid, can’t-look-away eyes that won’t cry off.
