You might think that twist-up eyeliner isn’t that different from a regular pencil liner that you sharpen. They’re both eyeliner, right? Technically, they’re both doing the same thing: applying eyeliner.
but~~ Since joining the ranks of extreme conditions — beauty enthusiasts who wear makeup for less than five minutes on most days — I’ve found that I no longer have the patience to chip away at pencil eyeliner.
Twist-up eyeliner is super handy when applying eyeliner in the car (like I usually do in the morning), at the office, or in the secret “best bathroom” on campus (the location of which will never be revealed).
Twist-up liners save you the extra hassle of digging through your bag for your sharpener, sharpening your pencils, and cleaning the sharpener so it’s not clogged with sticky stuff. There’s so much extra hassle. And hey, have you ever had a pencil sharpener explode in your makeup bag? Not fun at all.
I don’t know, it’s too difficult for me, a simple swish around twist up liner is always good.
My favorite twist-up liner is from Rare Beauty. They don’t have a huge range of colors, but they have all the basics. The ones I have (black and brown) are silky, long-lasting, and stay on my lash line. I love them!
Do you have a particular eyeliner preference? I don’t think I’ll ever go back to traditional pencils again. I definitely recommend Twist-Up Eyeliner!
