Eyes speak on their own! They increase your beauty. Ornamenting them properly is pretty difficult. Using liquid eyeliners is an obvious option as well as choice for many women. So, in case you are looking for some of the best liquid eyeliners available in India, here is the list of top products:

Maybelline Liquid Eyeliner

Yes, that is the name – Maybelline Liquid Eyeliner. It is designed for precision application. The extremely soft applicator will allow you do apply the product exactly the way you want. Some may find the applicator length to be a little too long but it is not a big problem at all. The eyeliner is waterproof and hence, rain should not be your concern at all. Available in 5ml bottle, this eyeliner can be easily removed by using eye makeup remover.

Lakme High Definition Eyeliner

This eyeliner’s applicator has a felt tip. Gliding the applicator can be a little difficult because of its handle and applicator design but this depends on the expertise of the lady who uses it. The length of the applicator is neither too long nor too short, which makes it pretty comfortable to work with, especially on the upper lash line. It comes with matte texture and in case you prefer a shiny one, it is not for you. And yes, this one is not waterproof and so watch before you walk out in the romantic rain. It will not chip off easily but after a long day, it will definitely look broken.

Lotus Herbals Opulence Botanical Eye Liner

This liquid eyeliner too comes with a felt tip applicator. In case you love the brush applicator, you are not going to like this. Because the applicator length is short, some of you will definitely find it easy to work with. It gives a matte finish and the eyeliner itself is medium dark. It can easily chip off. This too is not water resistant and can be easily washed off using water.

Elle 18 Black Out Liner

This one is really pocket friendly and comes with bristle brush applicator. The applicator length is also short and it is pretty easy to glide. It too gives matte finish but is very dark. Again, it fails to escape the chipping problem and hence, you may have to reapply the eyeliner. Avoid water contact as it is not waterproof.

Giordani Gold Liquid Eye Liner

In case you don’t mind spending 500 bucks or more for an eyeliner, you can go for the Giordani Gold Liquid Eye Liner. Smudge-resistant, this eyeliner glides smoothly. It comes with a medium length brush applicator and it also boast a long-wearing feature. It indeed stays longer than many of its peers. Unfortunately, it is not waterproof and so, no rain dance for you!

Eyeliner is the most essential ingredient of eye makeup. Single stroke of eyeliner gives the desired dramatic appearance to your eyes. If eyes mirror your heart, eyeliner mirrors your facial expression. But if you are using liquid eyeliner, it is very important to put it rightly, else you’ll find your eyeliner being flaked, messed up and smudged. Looking for some crucial tips and tricks, browse the article.


. Prime your eyelids first – The first step of putting liquid eyeliner is to provide a makeup base to eyelids. To make this base you can either use a good professional primer or can opt for some quality cream eye shadow to prime your eyelids. If you are using cream eye shadow, try to choose for a nude shade. It’ll help you in applying another coat of colorful shadow. After priming your eyelid, top it with translucent powder.

Note – Gone are the days when eyeliners and mascara were manufactured only in the shades of Black. Nowadays colorful mascara and eyeliners are rage. You can go for any color whether you want to keep it simple with beautiful brown or go bright with dazzling pink. Eyeliners are always ready to give you the look you want.

Eyelashes are symbolic of women beauty. They can be made to look longer using different cosmetic products but having naturally long eyelashes has no competition. So, how do you make your eyelashes grow longer naturally? Here are some tips that you can use:

Never ignore the importance of food:

Eyelashes are nothing alien. They are typical body hair. They grow naturally as hair on other parts of your body. For this to happen, you need to feed your body properly. Talk to your nutrition expert and get a diet list that can help the eyelashes to grow longer naturally. Proper nutrition will strengthen the hair follicles and will make your eyelashes stronger and help them to grow longer.

Wonders of Oil

Dandruff can be a big setback:

Women or men, all take care of their dandruff on head but everyone simply ignores the fact that dandruff can occur even on eyes. Eye dandruff is responsible for weakening eyelashes and leads to loss of eyelashes over long term if not taken care off. You can use baby shampoo or tea tree oil to wash your eyelashes and eyebrows properly to clean off the dandruff.

The sticky and annoying petroleum jelly:

Petroleum jelly is a natural lubricant that helps to grow longer eyelashes naturally. The application process is same as that of castor oil or olive oil. Leave overnight and wash off in the morning. Make sure that you do not use excess petroleum jelly because that will only make you feel uncomfortable.

Eyelid massage:

Like your head, your eyelashes also need proper blood circulation for growth. Use a very gentle massage on your eyelids to improve the blood circulation. The eyelashes will grow longer when blood circulation improves. Eye massage is not simple and it can hurt your eyes if not done properly. Consider using some professional help. A well trained masseur can help. Remember that the massage needs to be gentle and in circular pattern.

Strictly try to avoid these:

A little unnatural approach

What we learned so far was all about things you can do at home. But, did you know that on one hand when you are trying to grow your eyelashes naturally, you must also try to prevent them from falling? Eyelashes generally fall of when the body lacks proper amounts of chromium, copper and iron. So, to know exactly how much amounts of these elements are needed, you may have to take advice from a nutritionist to find out what foods should be consumed and in what amounts. Alternately, you can go for some supplements (minerals, vitamins etc.). Some of these multi-vitamin and multi-mineral supplements also contain amino acids, magnesium, calcium and potassium which are essential for proper hair growth. Still, never take them without a doctor’s advice.

So are you pondering the thought of getting fake eyelashes put on?  Are you wondering if they can cause infections or discomfort?  Fake eyelashes are glamorized in Hollywood and in magazines, but the truth is that they can cause serious damage to the eye.  Fox News Journalist Dr. Clifford Basset reported that over 100 women in Japan reported eye contamination and complications after getting false eyelashes.  Continue reading to learn more about eye infections caused by false eyelashes.

Common side effects:  Most common side effects of wearing fake eyelashes are infection, lash damages, or allergies.  There is also a hygiene risk.  If you drop the false lash on the ground and put it back on, there is a possibility that you may get dirt or harmful bacteria in the eye.  Wearing false eyelashes can also cause temporary or permanent damage to your natural lashes.  It can tear them out or cause the natural lashes to stop growing all together.  With constant touching false lashes, in worst case scenario, scratch the inside of your eye causing serious damage.

Signs: If you are having any of the following signs then you may have an eye infection:  pain, redness, sore, sensitive to light, discharge, fever, blurred vision, swollen eyes.  If you notice any of these signs, then consult with your doctor immediately.  If you develop pinkeye, it is highly contagious and you will have to be in seclusion and on antibiotics.  Pinkeye can last up to two weeks.  Infections are hard to tell how long it will take to heal because you have to let it run it’s course.

Causes of infection: Some of the causes of an eye infection while wearing false eyelashes are because of the following:  excess glue, lashes with glitter or jewels, sleeping in them, using cheap ones, constant falling off and gluing back on, made with synthetic fibers, constant rubbing and tugging.  Some people get an allergic reaction to the false eyelashes because of the formaldehyde in the glue.   So be aware of what kind of glue you are using to apply the eyelashes.  If you do decide to wear false eyelashes, refrain from using or doing these things as a preventative tactic.

Treatment:  According to Wikihow.com author Maddie Anderson, you can spray breast milk into your eye to kill the bacteria.  I don’t know about you, but that does not sound very appeasing to me.  Some other ways to treat and eye infection is to apply a moist tea bag or boil acacia leaves and then put on eye when cooled.  You can also take Benadryl that will stop the swelling.

Alternatives to fake eyelashes:  Maybelline, Almay, and Covergirl have super thick lash mascara to make lashes look fuller. You can use the infamous eyelash curler.   These work great and it is a safe proof way to staying healthy.

Should you get fake eyelashes:  Ultimately the decision is up to you.  I tried to put fake eyelashes on one time several years ago and they would not stay on.  So I swore to never put them on again.  I have friends who feel naked without their fake eyelashes.  One particular friend loves them and it seems to boost her confidence.  She has been wearing fake eyelashes for over 10 years and has never had an eye infection, but she has always gotten them done professionally.  I think that if you want to wear them, then do it and be aware of ways to prevent getting an eye infection.

Are you suffering from swollen eyes lately?  Puffy eyes have been linked to salty food, allergies, and sinuses.  This can be a total bummer especially if you have a social event to attend.   Continue reading to learn ways to manage your puffy eyes.

Reduce salt intake:  If your sodium levels are elevated, then your kidneys will alarm the body to retain excess water; hence, causing puffiness under eyes.  To prevent this from happening you can monitor your sodium intake.  If you go out to eat at restaurants, ask for no or minimal amounts of salt.  If you eat at fast food places, avoid salt on fries and soy sauce.

Tea:  Herbal teas help soothe redness and irritation.  You can seep the bags.  And when they are cool, place them on your eyes for 20 minutes.  Repeat 3 times a week or more as needed.

Cool cucumbers:  Cut a cucumber into thin slices.  You can take two for your eyes and save the rest for a salad or snack.  Lie on your back and place the two cool cucumbers on your eyes for about 5-10 minutes.  Repeat this 2-3 times a week as needed.

Egg whites:  Crack open an egg and separate the yoke from the whites.  Once you have the egg whites, stir them up.  Get a tissue and dip about a quarter size of the tissue into the mixture and then spread it underneath your swollen eyes.  Let the egg white sit there for about 10-15 minutes and rinse off.  Repeat this process 2 times a week as needed.

Potatoes: I have never heard of using potatoes on puffy eyes, but this remedy was trending all over the web.  You can slice any type of potato into thin circular pieces.  Then you can place the potato pieces over your eyes for 20 minutes.  Repeat as needed.  I also read on the web that soaking the potatoes in milk for 5 minutes before putting on your puffy eyes helps as well.

Drink more water:  Make sure that you are drinking eight glasses of water each day.  It will keep you hydrated.  If the body becomes dehydrated, it can store water in different parts of the body like the eyes.

Strawberry tops:  This is a new idea that I found out from a close friend which is super creative.  After you cut the tops off your strawberry, most people throw them away or throw them in the compost pile.  Put the tops in a zip lock bag and place them in the freezer.  Whenever your eyes are puffy, take a strawberry top out of the freezer and place it on your eyes for at least 10 minutes at a time.

Sleep:  Make sure that you are getting at least eight hours of sleep each night.  Sleep deprivation can cause under eye bags.  You can also elevate your head to stop the swelling under your eyes. If you continue having sleepless nights, consult with your primary doctor.

Cold spoons:  Placing spoons in the freezer and putting them on your eyes can help reduce the puffiness of the eyes. Repeat this process as needed.

Evaluate food consumption:  Puffy eyes can be linked to food allergies.  If you notice when you eat certain foods, your eyes may swell up.  For me, eating shellfish causes my lips to go numb and eyes to swell.  I did not know I was allergic until I had an allergy test done.  Most foods that cause allergies are dairy, wheat, soy, eggs, nuts, and seafood.  So if you notice that your eyes are puffy every time you eat a certain food, then check with your doctor to inquire about getting an allergy test.  Foods such as bananas, raisins, and cabbage are a few food items that will alleviate fluid retention.

We all hate those ugly creases which emerge under our eyes as we grow older. After all, who likes to be called ‘aged’? But from common face expressions to regular sun exposure, each and everything contributes to the quick loss of collagen around our eye area and makes eye wrinkles unavoidable with aging. So, what is the way to make yourself look younger even in 60s by keeping those creases at bay? Well, the much-awaited answer is ‘face yoga’.

How Yoga Can Help You Combat Eye Wrinkles

Just like regular yoga can help you tone up your body, increase your potency and suppleness, and take care of your overall health by fighting against the signs of aging, face yoga intended for eyes can also prevent the collagen loss around your eye area and put a stop to the easy development of fine lines or at least reduce them drastically. The dynamic face yoga exercises are simple yet very effective ways to tighten the skin of the eye area by strengthening the eye muscles, making the circulatory system more active, flushing out toxins, minimizing the growth of facial skin and above all, boosting the production of collagen as well as elastin in the body. The tricks of yoga not only help in decreasing the wear and tear of the eye area but also play a key role in toning the entire facial skin.

Facial Workouts to Get Rid of Eye Wrinkles



1. Place your middle fingers amid your eyebrows jointly. Your index fingers should be put at the external edges of both your eyes. Now, start applying pressure with the index fingers by keeping the middle fingers steady. At the same time, have a look upward and make sure that your lower eyelids also move up as you peep. Repeat the process for 6 times and shut your eyes tightly for 10 seconds at the end.

2. Create an ‘O’ with your lips. Your teeth must not be visible and your lips should be at a distance. Position both your index fingers underneath your eyes in a parallel manner and fix your glance on something above your head. Then, flap your top eye lids as well as lashes at least for 30 seconds.

3. Start with positioning your first fingers right above your eye sockets. They should face upwards while resting on each side of the root of the nasal bridge and fit inside the orbits completely. Now, move them gently to make inward circles and rouse the circulation of blood throughout the area.

4. Move your eyeballs in a right-left and up-down manner by keeping your head, neck and rest of the face fixed. Keep your eyes closed for the next 5 seconds and do the step once again. While opening your eyes this time, make sure that your brows are straight. Look at something kept in front of you and deep breath for 4 times. Finally, close your eyes and relax.

5. Put the tips of your index fingers under your eyes in such a manner that they sit on your lower eye sockets smoothly. Now, wide open your eyes and start making small circles in an outward motion. Do this for 30 seconds and then relax.

Just follow these five face yoga methods for your eyes regularly and you will certainly spot the differences in your eye area within a few days!

I had always been wary about trying this device on the eyes even though I was in dire need of some help to make my lashes look all fluttery and curled. I was scared of the scissor like metallic device seeming to almost pierce the eyes in order to work the lashes. It was when a friend showed me how simple it is to use and how it is not dangerous at all, that I tried it and was hooked onto it!

Eyelash curlers help curl out the eyelashes before you apply your mascara. They are usually metallic and come with a band of rubber that will hold your lashes between. Normally, it is the upper lashes that are curled using an eyelash curler.

How would you use it? Hold the eyelash curler just like your normal scissor. The ends of the eyelash curler are semi-circular, in the shape of your eye. Your eyelashes go into the gap between the bands of rubber. All you need to do is, open up the curler, hold the lower part of the curler on the lash line of your upper eyelid, and clamp it shut. Make sure only your eyelashes (and not your eyelid!) is caught between the curlers. Do not make it too tight. Hold it for thirty seconds and repeat on the other eye. It instantly opens up your eyes. Follow up with mascara for really thick looking eye lashes.

Now let us see some of the popular eyelash curlers in the market in India. They are all available online and also in beauty counters.
