Difference between eyeliner and liquid eyeliner

Feb 08, 2022

1. In terms of appearance

Glue eyeliner and liquid eyeliner pens are both pen-shaped, but the shape of the glue eyeliner is similar to a pencil. You can use a pencil sharpener or a knife to cut off the excess wood. After opening the cap, I found that the nib of the gel eyeliner pen is round, and the liquid eyeliner pen is awl-shaped like a writing brush.

2. In terms of color

The eyeliner drawn by liquid eyeliner has high color saturation, smooth strokes, and darker color, which is difficult to blend with eye shadow. Eyeliner gel pens are relatively easy to color, have a natural make-up feel, and can create a layered feeling of smudging. Generally, liquid eyeliner pens are fast-drying, so they cannot achieve the smudging effect of gel eyeliner pens, nor can they draw smoky effects.

3. In terms of durability

The advantage of the liquid eyeliner pen is that it is not easy to smudge the eyeliner with the liquid eyeliner pen. A good liquid eyeliner pen will not smudge even if you go surfing in the sea. The gel eyeliner pen is easy to smudge, if you wear makeup for a long time, it is not recommended to use the gel eyeliner pen

4. From the difficulty of use

Recommended for novices, of course it is an eyeliner pen. The eyeliner pen is used to control the color and can be modified repeatedly. Since the gel eyeliner pen is not easy to smudge, I do not agree to modify it. It is best to draw the eyeliner and then use the liquid eyeliner pen to draw the eyeliner in one go! If you really want to choose a liquid eyeliner pen, you can choose a soft-tip liquid eyeliner pen, hard Liquid eyeliner pens are harder to master!
