You can compare the pros and cons of the liquid, gel, pen and kohl eyeliner to bring home your eyeliner soulmate!
1. Liquid Eyeliner
It is the most used eyeliner if you want a striking, well-defined or the full-on sultry look. They are made solely for full-blown highlighting and defining sculpt of your eyes. If you want the picture-perfect Cleopatra eyes, then the liquid eyeliners are the perfect pick for you.

3. They are apt for cat-eye and the dramatic looks.
