What is the best kind of eyeliner for only lining your top lid?

Question

Pencil or liquid?

Answer 1

I like pencil. Pencil's easiest because if you mess up then you can just wipe it away with a q-tip.

Liquid is kind of difficult to control and it gets everywhere.

The easiest I think though is a gel liner (HIP cream liners or MAC's fluidline). You apply it with a brush so you get great control and usually they're waterproof so they stick until you take them off.

Answer 2

Initially practice applying a fine line along the top lid until you master the art of using a steady hand. When you are able to apply the line quickly then use a long lasting liner.

Whilst practising keeps an oil based remover handy for removing eye liner until you have perfected the art.

Answer 3

for me...neither.

my eyes are oily, so pencil disappears within an hour, and liquid is usually smudged halfway down my face by the end of the day.

i usually wet my eyeshadow applicator or a Q-tip, and i rub whatever color eyeshadow on it. then i outline my eyes with that.

it stays on longer for me, and it looks cleaner. plus, i have more of a variety of colors!

Answer 4

Well a light coat of pencil, then go over it with liquid, it stays on really really long and it looks awesome. good luck.

Answer 5

Personally liquid, pencil smudges too much :(
