Any questions?
Our experts have the answer
Eyeliner makeup is a part of history, helping to define and shape eyes since the beginning of time. Originally, kohl eyeliner was used to enhance eyes in the Middle East, before becoming an essential in the make-up bags of Western women.
Clarins has a range of waterproof eyeliner colours to suit every need.
What does an eyeliner do?
Eyeliners can shape and define your eyes, completing your makeup look. Your eye can have both a natural and dramatic look depending on the style of eyeliner that you want to do. Clarins’ pencil eyeliners are easy to use, bringing a stroke of pure bold colour to the eye contour.
How long does an eyeliner pencil last?
An eyeliner pencil often lasts between 12-24 months. Whereas, a liquid eyeliner lasts up to 6 months and a gel eyeliner lasts from 6-12 months. The main reason that a pencil eyeliner lasts longer is because it can be sharpened, removing bacteria and not drying out like gel or liquid.
Which is the right eyeliner for me?
Each eyeliner will have a different effect, depending on the look you are going for.

How do I apply eyeliner properly?
Applying eyeliner might take a little more time, technique and practice to master. But it is not too difficult, all you need is a few quick tips.
A pencil eyeliner is perfect for a beginner, as it is relatively simple to use and softer for a more natural effect.
After you have done your foundation, eye make-up, and lash curling, here is the eyeliner coming in. Rest your elbow on a level surface and draw a light line from the inner to outer corner of your eye. Try to remain as close to the lash line as possible. You may then trace this line again to confirm that all gaps have been filled.
For the lower lash line, it completely depends on your makeup look. A softer line is more flattering on the lower lid.

How to remove waterproof eyeliner?
We suggest 2 simple ways for you to remove a waterproof eyeliner:
- Using an eye makeup remover: A delicate eye remover like Clarins’ Instant Eye Make-Up Remover is formulated to help break down waterproof formulas. This bi-phase eye make-up remover lotion is enriched with rose and cornflower waters which work to moisturise and soothe the skin and ultra-fine oils which have a softening effect and enhance the cleanser ability.
- Use a micellar water or cleansing oil: Specially formulated cleansing oil like Total Cleansing Oil is a perfect option to help you instantly remove long-wearing, heavy, and waterproof eyeliner and pollutants from your face. In addition, micellar water is also a good choice. But we recommend you lay a micellar cotton pad on each eye for approximately 2 minutes for a better outcome.
