Liquid eyeliner or pencil eye liner?which is better and why?

liquid eyeliner -


pros : stays there for a long time and doesnt smudge, leak or smear,


you get a defined precise line


easier to apply





cons : once you screw up it takes alot to fix it.


more expensive


you dont get the smudy smokey look,


thin lined, like, it looks like you took a marker and put it on your eyes .





i think its more difficult to use if you're just getting used to eyeliner.





pencil eyeliner -


pros : comes in about 48543 colors and textures.


easy to smudge to make different effects,


comes in waterproof so if you do smudge it doesnt leak all over your face.


easier to use, or correct.


cheaper !





cons : most pencils smudge or leak alot quicker or easier.


sharpening is constantly annoying.


the wood can sometime poke at your eye.


if you dont get a good eyeliner, it can pull at your skin if its too hard.


takes a while to find the perfect pencil for you.





i prefer pencil over liquid any day. but whatever floats your boat.





bonne bell, almay, cover girl, mac, new york color make pretty good eyeliners !Liquid eyeliner or pencil eye liner?which is better and why?
liquid eyeliner on the top of the lash line as it is more bolder effective n less likely 2 smudge and pencil in the inner n outter 4 smoky effect so ya can smudge it!! rimmel liquid eyeliner is gr8 i swear by it n borjouis eyepencil black at 1 end white on other!!Liquid eyeliner or pencil eye liner?which is better and why?
My preference is pencil eyeliner that's slightly soft. The dry stuff doesn't work well. Try Revlon or Rimmel. Also, if your really pale, go with a charcoal color, rather than black. But if your tan, go for blackest black!
i use bare minerals liner shadows, wet, or dry.
liquid , it makes ur eyes more defined %26amp; it doesn't smudge %26amp; it stays on longer
Just 1 guy's opinion, but I really can't stand eyeliner. Au naturale for me!
I don't like liquid very much because if your hand slips one little bit you get it everywhere. With pencil, you have to press a little harder so it is harder to make mistakes. Also, you can smudge pencil eyeliner and make the smoky eyes look. You can't do that with liquid.
Liquid has more endurance, however without a steady hand and some practice, it's a bit tricky at first! Keep some q tips nearby so that you can erase any mistakes.





Pencil is good because you can easily smudge it to get that smoky look to your eyes. Both have good qualities!
Pencil - way easier to use, lots of colours and it's smudgeable (gives a smoky look).

I got bits of liquid liner in my eye.. am i going to be okay?

i was taking off my liner


then some go tin my eye... jus tliek dried bits


i spent a while qith q-tips pulling my lids down and gently dabbing to get the bits off





what if i missed a few... am i going to be okay





i now noticed two small grayish dots on my waterline.. not sure if it was there before... or it just caught my attention now %26gt;%26lt;I got bits of liquid liner in my eye.. am i going to be okay?
They wouldn't make eyeliner with blinding chemicals, calm down. I've gotten makeup in my eyes about a thousand times, I can see.I got bits of liquid liner in my eye.. am i going to be okay?
Yes your going to be fine, ask yourself, why would they make something to use on your eyes, knowing it might get into them, if it was going to damage your eyes.....Just flush your eyes with lots of water, dry them off and reappy the liner.
Don't mess with your eye, as that is what will cause you problems rather than the eyeliner. Use some eye wash, which you can buy at the phmcy.
Eyeliner would be outlawed if it can damage your eye after a small amount got in.
Yeahh you'll be fine, I'm into the 'cat eye' look so I'm constantly hurting myself XD It's fine, just try not to do it with wet liquid eyeliner..jeeez that hurts
Call an ambulance!

I normally use black eye liner, (kohl not liquid) i want to experiment with different eye liner colours......?

i have blue/grey eyes and dark brown hair, what colours would you recommend and what eye shadows colours would go with it. thanks.





this would be for an evening look, not day wear. xI normally use black eye liner, (kohl not liquid) i want to experiment with different eye liner colours......?
I absolutely LOVE experimenting with eyeliners (I'm the girlfriend of the guy whose account this is, NOT the guy, so you can trust me!!) So, i think that with your colouring, you should try using green eye shadow with a really shimmery silver liquid liner, or kohl. Because your used to wearing black, you wont feel like your eyes are lined properly at first, but it will look great. Alternatively, a brown liner with gold eye shadow will really compliment your hair, and bring out your eyes if they are a greyish blue (like mine!) Have fun!!I normally use black eye liner, (kohl not liquid) i want to experiment with different eye liner colours......?
thanks as well to everyone else for your answers too. Report Abuse

I use a silver one , it brings out my blue eyes perfectly , you should try a liquid one though they are great .
I have blue eyes and i wear white eyeliner it makes the eye appear more sparkly and it is differant i would try benefit high beam along the brow bone and your eyes wil look fab as i have the same colour hair and eyes and i am a beauty therapist i think people can go a bit mad with eyeshadow and this look acheives a clean crisp look
A navy would be pretty in an 80s way and not too crazy or like an electric blue if you want something dramatic. And if you are doing a color like navy, you can just do like a gray smokey eye but if you use bright eyeliner i would not wear eyeshadow or just wear something natural.
Charcoal.


It's very differen't from black. and creates a very sexy, dark cat eye look.


I think white and pink eye shadows go well with it.
brown
My missus says brown/black, or grey.
navy blue or grey eyeliner
teal or purple
maybe a gray or blue or brown
I have electric blue, steele grey, dark green %26amp; olive. They all work really well (I have all of them as pencils and liquids!) I used to also have lilac and gold but gold looks better if you have dark features and I wouldn't recommend lilac if you're over 13.
Purple would look fabulous! Almay do a great one that is subtle but noticable.
Try Onyx by covergirl. Its a really dark blue/green color. Very pretty.
Definately BROWN!
purple for sure - urban decay do a gorgeous one i use called lust - dont use eyeshadow with it though thats to over the top, maybe some sparkles on the eyelid or a highlighter over the brow bone
blue or plum
Deep purle or very dark navy blue Dark shadows with blue green or purple ar ealways pretty
I have blue/gray eyes as well. I use brown eyeliner because I think it looks less harsh than black...especially for day. Check out Carmindy's website. She is the make-up artist on What Not to Wear. She has some helpful tips!
stick with darker colours, navy, brown etc

  • Liquid eye liner??

    How do girls use liquid eye liner on they're bottem lids, every time i try it it ends up in a big mess and in my eye, any pointers??Liquid eye liner??
    1.Stand in front of the mirrior Tilt you head downward and pull down you lower eye lid.


    2. Carefully slide on your eyelid (try not to blink)


    3.Have a tissue by your side incase you mess up (step 2 of proactive is a really good make-up remover)


    4.add touch-ups





    If this didn't help I suggest buying a pencil its a lot easier.





    Hope this helped!Liquid eye liner??
    liquid eyeliner isnt suppose to be meant for the bottom lid. only top lid. well its best to use pencil for bottom lid and smear it a lil. and use liquid for top lid! : ) Report Abuse

    it takes practice..but to make life easier you can buy a dry one that looks wet when you put it on to give you a great look from MAC. Also it is better when you use the dry ones- they last longer under the eye. The liquid ones you would have to reapply.
    don't use it on the bottom lids! instead use a softer khol pencils or a very thin line of darker shadow. This will soften the look but it will still look sharp having used it on your top lid. That will also open your eyes up more ;-)
    roll your eyes when you put it on, be sure you have a mirror right above your head then you can see where you put it on and you won't have a big mess under your eye
    Dont try to draw the whole line at once. Draw a little at a time go thin so you can even it out later.
    why not just use a pencil? its less expensive and alot easier to apply
    I could never get the hang of it, either
    It takes a whole lot of practice. For the longest, I could line my upper eyelids just fine with the liquid eyeliner but not the lower. Personally, I think it is easier to line the bottom with pencil.
    try not to get it inside ur eyes .. personally i find using a pencil on the lower lids is easier and faster and u can get it inside ur eye without causing a mess . use the liquid on ur upper eyelids it gives them more shape and color than a pencil
    practice, practice, practice.





    Use your non-dominant hand to steady your dominant hand.
    draw below the waterliner


    once, the ink went into my eye and i had to redo my makeup

    Do you like liquid or pencil eye liner?

    Pencil eye liner all the way.


    Cuss one time I was at a store, and I saw some eye liner.I was like ';eh.I'll try it';


    and bad idea.I didn't really know how to use it all that well I guess.


    I did the same thing as I would do with my pencil eye liner, then I let go of my eyes, and ALL OF THE EYE LINER WENT INSIDE MY EYE!


    I could see like pure black in my eye!I thought I would have to call the Poison people!I was so freaked out!I thought I was gonna go blind people!


    but thankfully it washed out really easily.I threw that thing in the trash so freaking fast.It's a health risk people!





    Which do you prefer and why?Do you like liquid or pencil eye liner?
    I know what you're talking about. That happened only because liquid eye-liner usually goes on your upper lids, while you can put pencil liner on the inside of your eye. You could put liquid eyeliner on the bottom too, but it would have to be done carefully along your bottom eyelashes.





    Also, if you like the look of liquid eyeliner, but hate the mess, you could try Eye Pen. It's kind of like a marker, which you line your eyes with. It's way easier to use.Do you like liquid or pencil eye liner?
    liquid for me. I don't know, i guess i have a steady hand or something but i'm good at it, and it comes out looking really pretty and smooth. I just cant use pencil, it never works out for me, its too like crayon-y looking or too thick for my eyes. It stays on for a while too, so i guess if your a good applier for liquid you'll really like it.
    I prefer pencil. It's easier to put on, and its less messy.





    I tried liquid once. Such a bad idea. It got me mad, cause it was icky. I would mess up so many times! Not even funny. I spilled it on my hands, and I had to go to school like that. Yeah, and I got it in my eye too. Except, it was just like a line of it, but my whole eye turned red. Not fun.
    Pencil all the way.





    Liquid is hard to get use to and you'll need like a full day of not going anywhere to practice with it.





    You can risk getting it in your eye or messing up and its really hard to get off.





    I use NYC Color eyeliner..and I love it. Its only .99 hahaha








    :O
    Yeah, Its pretty hard to get on, it always get in my eye :X


    I only use it on my top lid, its much easier, and I don't have to use black eyeshadow. Then for the bottom, I use pencil, a really good kind so it doesn't look stupid.



    I like the kind from Bobbi Brown that has a little brush and a tiny bottle of black eyeliner stuff hah. It looks just like the liquid when it's on but it's really easy to get a perfect line.
    pencil or retractable eyeliner if i'm in a rush.


    and liquid if i'm going to be out all day because it lasts longer. it takes a while to get used to but it leaves a thinner line and looks cleaner.
    Pencil, I like the way it looks more and liquid eye liner is SO hard to use. I honestly can't do it without making my eyes look like total crap ahh maybe it's just me lol but my hand is always shaky haha.
    I use pencil for the bottom and liquid for the top. Most people do. I like to use pencil on the bottom cause i looks better and liquid looks better on top.
    I use liquid eyeliner. I find it goes on easier, although I have never used the pencil type of eyeliner. I should try it, I guess. Next time I go to the store, I'll get some. :)
    i like liquid eye liner coz iys make my eyes looks more beautiful!


    but it takes more practice to perfect the application.thank god im a fast learner!


    its up to you wich do u prefer! pencil is easy to use!
    LOL, I've had that same experience a couple of times, but I've found an eyeliner that I like that doesn't do that, so I'm in love with my liquid eyeliner.
    pencil is so much easier to use for me. it doesnt get everywhere, and your less likely to mess up. but, for some, liquid is better.
    I like pencil because it's more natural looking and it's easier to apply so it usually looks better.
    Pencil eyeliner all the way, because it's much easier to put on your eyes and liquid is very difficult.
    Pencil. I suck at liquid and its way harder to draw one line.... itsharder to smudge and really thin... i just use it when i want a really dark color or i dont have a pencil. ;)
    PENCIL !!! i hate liquid eye liner, the same thing happened to me, except my eye wasn't entirely black, Thank God ! pencil is so much better and liquid gets smudged real easily
    pencil because I always wear eyeliner on my water line and it is not good to wear liquid on the water line.
    Wow but you can only use Liquid eyeliner for your top leyelid not under on the bottom. I use both.
    I love pencil eyeliner because it's more precise and doesn't make a huge mess.
    I like liquid eye liner but it always goes in my eyes after an hour too. So i stick with the pencil.
    Liquid by far.





    I love that sharp defined line, and it lasts so much longer than pencil.
    Liquid because you have more control when you know how to use it and it's a lot darker.
    Both...pencil on my bottom and liquid on top so that i can wing it out.
    Pencil eye liner. I've never used liquid one.
    both..

    Does anyone own the product LIGUIFY-EYE by TOO FACED (the one that transforms eyeshadow into liquid liner)

    This one..





    http://www.toofaced.com/product.asp?cat_鈥?/a>








    and i was wondering how long does a bottle of that size last you? Because it looks so small and i just bought it and im so scared its gonna run out.





    Thxxx!Does anyone own the product LIGUIFY-EYE by TOO FACED (the one that transforms eyeshadow into liquid liner)
    Well depends how often you use it but id guess about a month or two (if you use it everyday)





    If you do run out, the cheaper alternative to that is using some contact solution and dipping your eyeliner brush into it then dip it into eyeshadow. Works the same!!Does anyone own the product LIGUIFY-EYE by TOO FACED (the one that transforms eyeshadow into liquid liner)
    Honestly.. I love it so so much!!


    Its so worth the money and it lasts a long time..remember that it has so many dif. colors so it lasts a very long time..The colors are beautiful wet or dry..





    One of my favorite products definetely..





    You have to get it . You will love it
    hi ya i do have that.. i love it.. um a bottle usually lasts me anywhere from 3-4 months depending on how much you use it.. no it doesnt rilly run out quickly either.. trust me ul love it so much.. i no i do.. good luck
    I got it almost 4 months ago and it still has product left in it. You don't want it to last too long 'cause it can harbor bacteria. I love it, tho.
