Best Answer

In some ways, yes. Most people find liquid eyeliner easier to apply and it gives a better look, especially if you are going for something dramatic. Liquid eyeliner, however, comes in small bottles and therefore runs out more frequently. So if you are buying a very expensive brand of eyeliner, it could be very expensive to keep buying liner. Also, liquid eyeliner smudges a lot more quickly and easily than pencil eyeliner does.

No Gel Liner is better that liquid liner and pencil pencil you have to sharpen and it is hard to apply a neat straight line. Liquid liner smears easy and is hard to get off.

What is eyeline?

Eyeliner is a type of cosmetic used along the rim of the eye. There are many different types of eyeliner that can be used to create effects from the dramatic to the subtle. There are four main categories of eyeliner available: liquid, powder-based pencil, wax-based pencil, and kohl. Liquid and pencil eyeliners are available in nearly every imaginable color, including glitter varieties. Liquid eyeliner is the most difficult type to apply and creates the most dramatic effect. It creates a very precise, defined line and is usually used on the upper eyelid only. Liquid eyeliner is typically sold in a small bottle with a precision applicator brush, and can create a very sultry effect. Pencil eyeliners are easier to control and have a more subtle look than liquid eyeliners. Powder-based pencils are harder and can create a more defined line than the wax-based variety. Wax-based pencils are more amenable to smudging and can be used to create a smoky effect.

How do you keep eyeliner to stay on the bottom?

If you're going to use a pencil under your eye, it should applied directly to the base of your bottom lashes as it is more effortless to work with than a cream or liquid formula. But if you are going to use liquid eyeliner apply it below your eye by first lightly dipping a small, stiff angled brush into the product. Smudge the eyeliner onto the base of your bottom lash line, starting at the outer corner, making your way towards the inner corner of the eye. Stop about midway to avoid making tiny eyes appear even smaller if this is one of your concerns.

What is the best kind of eyeliner that isn't waterproof for your waterline?

You could use MAC Fluidline, which is a gel liner. All liquid liners are not that waterproof, but I don't think that all of them can be applied to the waterline. You could also use MAC eye kohls, but those hold up a little better than liquid and gel liners. Hope this helps! -Beepbubby10
