Liquid or Cream eyeliner? Which is better?

I currently use almay liquid and i have no trouble putting it on so thats not an issue, i also love it. I was looking into trying cream liner, just something new. which do you think is better? what are the pros and cons of each? how is the l'oreal hip cream liner?Liquid or Cream eyeliner? Which is better?
i don't have problems with application for either, but i prefer cream/gel eyeliner. it's much easier to work with, for me, as i feel it gives me a little more control since i have to exert more pressure to apply it. with liquid, the slightest wrong move leaves a big dark splotch that's hard to clean up. i like to line my upper and lower waterlines often, and cream/gel doesn't irritate my eyes the way liquid does--it also dries a lot faster. and if i want, i can smudge it really easily to get a smoky look, which i definitely can't do with liquid. i feel that cream/gel lasts a long longer, as well, but that just may be my imagination.





l'oreal hip cream liner is a great choice; it's really potent and inexpensive. an even cheaper alternative is jane's be pure mineral gel eyeliner, which also comes with a brush. it works JUST like mac's fluidlines or stila's smudgepots, but only costs like 6 bucks. i have every color.





edit: for the type of winged look you like, it's definitely possible to create using cream/gel, but you'd have to be using an extremely sharply angled brush. for that look in particular, it might be easier with liquid.Liquid or Cream eyeliner? Which is better?
I can't say which is better because I have both the liquid and cream eyeliner. Both work really well for me.


PROS: (liquid)


- most are easy to remove.


- i love the liquid eyeliners that come with a felt-tip like marker. It's easier to control.


CONS: (liquid)


- sometimes it doesn't dry fast enough


- smudges easily.





PROS: (cream)


- dries really fast.


- lasts all day.


- a little goes a long way. you also get more product b/c it's in a pot. Most liquid eyeliners come in those small bottles.


CONS: (cream)


- (depending on the color) need to add more product to get the color intensity that you desire.





for the liquid eyeliner, i have Maybelline's waterproof liquid eyeliner in black.


for the cream eyeliner, i have l'oreals hip cream eyeliner in black, eggplant %26amp; teal.





hope i helped! :)
The liquid liner goes on more easily, doesn't smudge, but has a hard line to it that can look too painted on.


The creamier kind, such as pencil or kohl, has a tendency to smudge, but looks great for the most part.


So I guess it's a matter of what you can best live with.


I personally prefer a kohl pencil...it gives a smokier effect that is downright alluring. BUT - I have to keep reapplying it every 3 hours because it fades and smudges on the crease of my eye.
I use liquid and cream, and personally I like the cream better because my liquid tends to smudge and takes a little bit long to dry to if I blink it gets at the top of my lid. Cream dries pretty quick but it's easy to take off if you make a mistake. Liquid and Cream both stay on well, staying on isn't a problem for either.


If you're going to get a cream you mean something like MAC fluidline, don't you? With brush application? Well I recommend fluidline, more than any liquid. It has easy application. I like it much more than liquid even though I still use liquid. Fluidline creates a nice look, and you can do winged/vamp look's with cream.
try the make up forever aqua liner.. u can find it at sephora. its kinda pricey but well worth it lasts a long time and doesnt smudge its a cream liner i love it. its worth about 20 bucks:) but gives u very nice results and soo easy to apply. really soft
liquid for the winged look flirt cosmetics i swear has the best liquid liner
