Eyeliner: Mechanical & Eye Kohl Pencils

1. Eye Kohl Pencils

The original! Most girls when they're first starting off with makeup experiment with these. This is the kind that literally looks like a pencil. It has a softer, creamier consistency which makes it easier to apply. They're also easier to blend and smudge, for a smokey eye look. What I don't like about these pencils are that they are usually thicker, so you don't have full control of how exactly you want your liner to look, and also you have to have a sharpener for these.

2. Mechanical Eyeliner 

Mechanical eyeliners are the ones that you have twist in order for the eyeliner to come out. This is helpful if you tend to lose the caps/tops to your liner; it helps preserve the product because you can limit how much you need by twisting out, and when you're done you can just twist the liner back in. Mechanical liner glides on easier, and is a lot more firm than pencil liners.

Blacklisted Liners: 




Almay- The pencil is so hard and every time I tried to apply it, it would literally break off! 
Mayeblline Define- A-Line smudges so badly, you'll look like a racoon by the end of the day. 
Jordana- This eyeliner literally evaporated from my face. I know Jordana is a cheap company but sheesh!
