A question I regularly ask myself is; pencil or liquid?
Eyeliner is a very finishing, personalised touch to eyes and the colour, shape and strength of the liner shows a lot through a person.
Liquid Liner
Pros; Dramatic, long-lasting, easy to flick/create wings and slides on well. Some may be waterproof.
Cons; May be messy, if not waterproof then create smudge, have to get use to application technique and can be awkward in all aspects if not comfortable/familiar with usage.May be slightly more expensive than pencil.
Eye Pencil
Pros; Effective, easy to apply, more natural looking, easy to flick, plenty of different shades and depending on the brand, normally cheaper than liquid liner.
Cons; Not as long lasting, many not waterproof, not very dramatic and eyeliner is not as easy to apply as get caught in crease (not smooth application).
Overall, both are just as good, but the pencil being more money friendly. Liquid liner is more suitable for a night out and eye pencil for during the day.
Which do you use more often, why and what is your favourite eye liner? :)
I use pencil at the moment and I am looking for a new favourite pencil eyeliner at the moment because the one I am using currently (Rimmel Soft Khol Kajal Eye Liner Pencil in colour 011 Sable Brown)isn't very good and smudges easily. But I have used up all my others. Any reccomendations? :(
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried this out before (though I am meaning to) but why don't you look into the Maybelline Unstoppable eyeliner which claims not to smudge. The reviews sound great and they have a shade similair to Sable Brown which is Cinnabar 704. Don't bin your Rimmel though, on the site it recommends smudging out for a more natural but effective look. Hope this helps, tell me what you think of Unstoppable Eyeliner, Hugs x
