Liquid vs. pencil eyeliner
With so many options, it can be difficult to decide which type of eyeliner is best for your needs. Liquid and pencil eyeliner differ in a number of ways and there are pros and cons are for each. Here are some key differences:
Liquid eyeliner is a better option if you’re looking for a more dramatic look. The effect tends to be more intense than that of a pencil eyeliner. However, it may be a bit more challenging to apply liquid eyeliner, requiring more practice time to master and for this reason, it might not be the best choice for beginners.
Pencil eyeliner is often a better option if you’re looking for a softer, more natural and subtle look. It’s also a good choice for creating effects that require blending and smudging. Pencil eyeliner tends to be easier to apply than liquid eyeliner, making it a better choice for beginners who need a more user-friendly option.
Waterproof options
If you need an eyeliner that stands up against the elements, you might consider a waterproof option. Waterproof eyeliners are designed to resist smudging, smearing and running even during wet conditions. Most formulas can be removed easily with a gentle cleanser or makeup remover.
Gel eyeliners
Many people prefer gel eyeliners over more traditional formulas. Gel eyeliners are often ideal for creating a cleaner line. Gel formulas glide on smoothly and gently over the eyelid. Gel formulas are also often more versatile than other types of eyeliners. Some people find that gel eyeliners can even double as an eye shadow.
