Pencil Vs Liquid Eyeliner – Which One Is Better?

Ah, from pencil to liquid to gel, what is the best eyeliner for you to choose? Because there are various kinds of eyeliner to choose from, all with different features that they offer, it can be kinda hard to not “buy all at once” just to cover your grounds. A lot of the features such as the darkness intended, the ability to create distinct lines, the smoky-ness of the look and even the desired final tone and appearance are all factors you should consider when trying to purchase the perfect eyeliner. Of course, ease of use and the time allotted for the application of the liner should also play a part in choosing the perfect one. See, I told you choosing the perfect eyeliner is really difficult!

Brief History of The Eyeliner

Initially worn by the Ancient Egyptians, the first eyeliner was worn by people not only for appearance but also for protection against the sun for the eyes and surrounding area. From then on, modern eyeliners has developed even more — and the result is that we now have different forms, colors, materials, hues and styles to choose from. Because eyeliner can create a plethora of different effects such as the natural eye, the smokey eye, and the winged eye, they are really beloved by women all around the globe.

Liquid Vs Pencil Eyeliner – Which One Is Best?

To tell you the truth, there are several positive and negative characteristics of each eyeliner. The pencil liner, for me, is simpler to use and apply. Because of this, I really feel that the pencil eyeliner is perfect for creating a subtle look. The pencil liner is very limited when it comes to the design and the thickness that it can provide though. This is where the liquid liner takes my vote.

Liquid liners are perfect for precision application because it can easily create a sharp finish which gives the eye superb definition. They are not as long-lasting as the pencil liners though, which will be a problem if you need to wear the liner for a long period of time. The remedy, of course, is reapplication. But it will take time and cost you more to go this route, so choosing one really depends on your budget and needs.

As long as you purchase a quality pencil or liquid liner, I think the choice on what to purchase can easily be answered by your needs. If you are looking for a nice, quality pencil liner, check this sharp yet subtle pencil eyeliner from Club Clio today 🙂
