i usually always use pencil. the few times that i have tried to use liquid, it stung really bad. i think that pencil last longer and liquid wears off into your eyes and hurts.

Thats funny I thought liquid lasted longer. haha but I always use pencil on my water line, so it would kind of fade away as the day went by.

I use two. I use eyeliner gel on the upper eye liner and a pencil eyeliner on the lower one. I think it's rather hard to use the gel eyeliner on the lower part.

I like liquid and pencil. I used to use pencil for my lower lids and liquid for the top lids. I do not use it any more, because I have a vision problem in my left eye. Therefore, i am able to draw a pretty good line on my left eye, but can never get it right on my right eye, because when I close my right eye to draw the line, I can not see clearly out of my left eye. So, no more eyeliner for me, I just sometimes put it on my lower lids with a pencil.

Hi! I always prefer the pencil eyeliner ;) I find it very easy to apply and correcting flaws is just a breeze. I've tried a liquid eyeliner before and I never liked it. It ended up sitting on my closet, lol. I find it really hard to maneuver, it dries up quickly, and gives a thick finish. My lashes also gets in the way thus the eyeliner would stick to it. It's really annoying! :) I've also tried the gel eyeliner and just like the liquid, it ended up piling dust on my storage, lol. It doesn't stick that much to my eyelids (I guess it's the brand I was using) and I still need a nice angled brush in order to apply it. Both (liquid and gel) were a total waste of my money :) So I always use my ever faithful pencil eyeliner. It's affordable, touching up is a breeze, plus you can have the versatility of applying less or more on your eyelids should the need arise. And since I also prefer a more natural looking eye make-up, the pencil eyeliner is best for me :)

I prefer the pencil. I used to wear liquid liner all the time but pencil is not as dramatic so I prefer it. You may already know this but when you apply it start at the center of your eyelid and go toward your nose then go back to center and go outwards, That is how I was always taught to apply it and it works for me. Good Luck

I use metallic charcoal grey eyeliner for my upper lid, and a white pencil eyeliner for the inner corner of each eye.

Pencil and liquid are my favourites. I like to use both pencil and liquid at the same time actually, to try and create a dramatic effect. Keep practising, as you will get the hang of it eventually! I have never heard of gel liner. What is that like?
