All three eyeliners have their pros and cons, and it's really just a matter of preference on what makeup look you want to achieve. I personally prefer gel eyeliners only because I like intense winged out eyes and dark waterlines. Some days I go for liquid because I want a more subtle and precise look, and sometimes I wear pencil/crayon when I only want my waterline filled in. Feel free to try out my recommended brands if you're having trouble finding a good one.
I hope this guide was somehow helpful!

Thanks for sharing all your tips about eyeliners!
ReplyDeletePencil liner was also the first type of eyeliner i used when i began to wear makeup, its probably my least liked liner too, i find that it smudges a lot even if it's high end :(
Liquid liner is my favourite, you should definitely try out Etude House's eyeliners, they're really good and they last all day!
