A History Of Beautiful Eyes - Feature on Cake Eyeliner

When it comes to making eyes pop, eye makeup ad eye liner is one of the best things invented, ever.

Originally worn by the Egyptians way back when, the black stuff has gone through countless iterations (and myriad colors!), and is now available in almost every medium imaginable. It's easy to see why beginners and buffs alike still have problems choosing their ideal shadows and liner, and every formula has its own pros and cons to consider. If you’re stumped and don’t know how to embrace the world of eye definers, we're going to provide a series for eye experts and novices alike.

EYE DEFINER FEATURE: CAKE
One of the first commercially viable formulas available, cake eye liners are solid, water-activated pigment blocks housed in shallow tins. The thin, watery texture applies like face paint, producing soft, yet crisp lines for a vintage feel.

Skill Level: Moderate-Advanced. Using cake eyeliner with a brush requires some practice. My mom does it, and has done for years - and for some, like er - it comes naturally. Others, like me, well - need to stick with an easier application.
