A good eyeliner highlights your eyes and lifts them slightly. But applying lines flawlessly is only possible for a few. or not? This practical stencil costs less than 10 euros and promises perfect lining every time. Does it really work?

Fortunately, applying eyeliner wasn't one of Hercules' twelve labors, or the boy would still be doing it. After all, a perfect handwriting is a major accomplishment. If you miraculously succeed, the other side will almost certainly be too high, too low, too bumpy, or too twisty.
Our beauty editor tests out an 'eyeliner template'
I usually skip eyeliners and liquid eyeliners and limit myself to a little mascara. Quickly and easily. But what if there was a trick to making both fonts not only perfect, but identical? This handy stencil promises perfect eyeliner over the eyes every time, and for less than €10. But does the tool actually deliver on this promise?
Unfortunately no. In the product photos, the eyeliner looks elegant and chic. In fact, it's a messy mess, and the tool also stamps in some extra eyeliner under and next to my eyes. Once I was able to draw a nice black line (after about ten attempts). Even then it wasn't quite the suite I wanted. The line is too low and too rounded to allow this, as if there were a tiny shrimp tail dangling out of the corner of my eye. No, I can still get the job done faster without a template. This means something.
On sale for €9.99 Bol.com.
