Black eyeliners I use for my everyday look

These have been my go-to black liners for many months now, actually, I'd say this whole entire year. Each of them are used almost everyday, however, perform different roles for my overall look.


1. Maybelline Expert Wear (pencil)- Used to shade in my eyebrows
I don't use pencil eyeliners for my eyes ever. Having to sharpen them,  making sure there isn't any wood debris, and risking any wood flakes getting into the eye is just an inconvenience for me. BUT, I did buy this due to a friend's recommendation. She uses it on her lids for an everyday look by quickly running a lighter across it. Without doing it this way, she says the pencil is way too harsh to drag across the lids, and totally useless. Her results are a nice, rich, smoldering look. I use mine, however, to lightly shade in the eyebrows. Works great for me as the color matches perfectly, and makes blending really easy. 

2. Jordana Easyliner (retractable pencil)- Used to for a smokey eye look
With this liner being creamy, it applies smoothly and practically glides on. However, it does crease, and smudges on the top and bottom lash lines. So, I only use this eyeliner when I'm going for the smokey eye look. It's perfect for that, and works well with a rubber tip. 

3. Revlon Colorstay (retractable pencil)- Used for an everyday look on top/ bottom/ tight line.
For the longest time, I was on the hunt for the "perfect" eyeliner. I stuck to gel for the longest, but still wanted to revert back to pencil for that less harsh look. Then I came across this, my favorite all-around eyeliner (for now.) It stays in place, doesn't fade, and there is absolutely no smudging at all. I'd say this is probably one of the best drug store eyeliners out there. I mentioned this pencil a while back here.

4. Maybelline Master Precise (liquid pen)- Used for winging out top lash line
The thin felt tip is really flexible and makes it easy for winging or outlining the eyes. I like that I can control the strokes and the thickness of the application.The formula comes out matte, is fast drying, and stays on all day. All the more reasons to love it.


I'd love to know, what are your favorite eyeliners? And do you prefer pencil, gel, or liquid?
