Eyeliner Tubes

What Are Eyeliner Tubes?

Eyeliner tubes are compact cosmetic containers designed for liquid eyeliner and other precision-applied beauty formulas. They typically combine a bottle, screw cap, applicator wand, brush, and wiper to support controlled product application.

Beyond liquid eyeliner, similar packaging can be configured for eyelash serums, eyebrow serums, mascara, and brow gels by selecting suitable applicators.

Dalica offers eyeliner tubes in various capacities, shapes, and finishes, including designs with PET or PETG inner bottles and decorative aluminum outer shells.

Key advantages include:

• Precise Application: Specialized brushes support controlled and targeted application.
• Versatile Applicators: Different brushes accommodate eyeliner, lash serum, mascara, and brow gel.
• Compact Design: Slim and portable packaging for everyday use.
• Customizable Appearance: Multiple shapes, colors, metallic finishes, and logo decoration options.

Types of Eyeliner Tubes and Applicators

Dalica’s collection includes several types of eye makeup and lash-care packaging. Different applicators can be selected according to the formula, product positioning, and desired application experience.

1. Eyeliner Tube Types and Brush Options

2. Additional Applicator Options

Beyond the three main eye-area brush styles, Soft Doe-Foot Applicators are also available for compatible tube configurations. These soft applicators are primarily used for lip gloss, lip oil, and certain liquid makeup products.

Selected models can accommodate different applicators. However, the brush, wand, wiper, and bottle opening must be matched to ensure proper fit and application performance.

Common Uses of Eyeliner Tubes

1. Liquid Eyeliner

Fine precision brushes support controlled application along the lash line, making them suitable for liquid eyeliner and detailed eye makeup.

Brush flexibility and product flow should be evaluated according to the formula.

2. Eyelash and Eyebrow Serums

Fine-tip applicators allow targeted application of lash and brow-care formulas.

Brush softness, formula compatibility, and secure closure are important considerations for these products.

3. Mascara

Mascara tubes combine bristle brushes with fitted wipers to help distribute the appropriate amount of product.

Different brush styles can support lengthening, volumizing, separating, and defining effects.

4. Brow Gels and Brow Styling Products

Mini spoolie brushes are suitable for clear brow gels, tinted brow gels, and compatible eyebrow-styling formulas.

The brush size and wiper should be matched to the formula’s viscosity and desired application amount.

Customization and Finishing Options

Dalica provides OEM/ODM customization for eyeliner tubes, mascara tubes, and lash and brow serum packaging. Available options depend on the selected model, material, and applicator configuration.

1. Custom Colors and Surface Finishes

Packaging colors and surface finishes can be developed to match your brand identity.

Available options may include:

• Glossy and matte colors
• Metallic and anodized finishes
• Brushed or sandblasted aluminum effects
• Gradient color coatings
• Holographic and decorative effects

Physical color references or Pantone specifications can be used during development. Final colors and finishes should be approved on actual packaging samples.

2. Logo Printing and Decoration

Common decoration options include:

• Silk-Screen Printing: For brand logos, product names, and graphics.
• Hot Stamping: For gold, silver, and metallic accents.
• Laser Engraving: For suitable metal components.
• Custom Coatings: For distinctive colors, textures, and surface appearances.

Decoration methods depend on the exterior material, printing area, and artwork requirements.

3. Applicator and Packaging Configuration

Selected models support different applicator configurations, including precision brushes, mascara brushes, mini eyebrow brushes, and soft doe-foot applicators.

Different capacities, exterior shapes, and component combinations are available depending on the model.

The cap, applicator wand, wiper, and inner bottle must be matched as a complete packaging assembly.

How to Choose the Right Eyeliner Tube

1. Match the Formula with the Applicator

Start with your product type: liquid eyeliner, eyelash serum, mascara, or brow gel.

Choose a fine brush for precision application, a bristle brush for mascara, or a mini spoolie for brow gel. Formula viscosity and applicator compatibility should be evaluated together.

2. Choose the Capacity and Tube Design

Dalica’s current collection includes approximately 3ml to 12ml options, with cylindrical, square, triangular, ribbed, and wavy designs.

Select the capacity and shape according to your intended fill volume, product positioning, and branding requirements.

3. Evaluate Materials and Packaging Performance

Review the inner bottle material, closure, wiper fit, and decoration options.

Before bulk production, test the complete packaging assembly with your actual formula to confirm compatibility, sealing, and application performance.
