I don’t know about you, Lykkers, but there are mornings when I look in the mirror and feel like something is missing—even after base makeup is done.

Most of the time, it’s eyeliner. Just a small line, nothing dramatic, but it somehow pulls everything together for me.

Lately I’ve been switching between two eyeliner pencils, depending on how I feel that day. Both are easy to use, but they give totally different moods on my face.

1. BLP Beauty Eye Definer Noir

This one is my “no overthinking” eyeliner. When I’m in a rush but still want to look a bit more awake, I reach for this. The black shade is really clean and strong, so I don’t need to go over the line multiple times. It gives my eyes that slightly sharper look without making me feel like I’m wearing too much makeup. I like how it just blends into my lash line and makes my lashes look fuller without extra effort.

2. Jacquelle Slim Eyetractive

This one feels more gentle and controlled. The slim pencil makes it easy for me to draw a really thin line, especially on days when I don’t want anything too obvious. I usually use this when I’m doing soft makeup—like light base, blush, lip tint, and that “barely there but still polished” vibe. It doesn’t scream eyeliner, it just quietly defines my eyes. I also like that I can slowly build it up if I change my mind and want it slightly darker later.

If I had to describe them in a simple way: BLP Beauty is my “quick confidence fix,” while Jacquelle is my “soft girl everyday liner.” I don’t really stick to just one because my mood changes a lot. Some days I want my eyes to stand out a little more, and other days I just want something soft that nobody notices—but still makes a difference. And somehow, that tiny line on my eyes always ends up changing how I feel about my whole look.
