Eye liner has never been so in demand as nowadays. Every lady would have at least one eye liner in the make pouch. The earliest eye liners are in pencil form. It slowly transformed to liquid eye liner and now the eye liner in gel form is widely available in market.

Pencil eye liner has a soft powder based form in wooden holder. Pencil eye liner are recommended for first time user. It is easier to control and can be applied on both upper and lower eye line to beautifully define the contour of the eyes. One draw back of the pencil eye liner would be it's very easy to smudge. May be it's a good thing for lady who like smoky eye look. Pencil eye liner just like the pencil that have to be sharpen from time to time to keep the tip sharp for drawing fine line.

Liquid eye liner is harder to control in order to draw a fine and smooth line without much practice. The liquid is ink-like and usually in dark color. That's also why liquid eye liner normally come in a bottle. The applicator is tiny but sharp and soft, that's also the reason it is hard to master to draw a fine line. But once you master it, it can be applied in a snap. Liquid eye liner is waterproof. It stays for hours without smear.

Gel eye liner is not like the ordinary eye liner. It needs an extra applicator to apply the eye liner onto eye lid. Bobby brown eye liner has a soft gel texture that is easy to apply, but it has to apply before dry as it becomes transfer-resistant once dry. The gel formula inherited the waterproof advantage of liquid.

Bobby Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner is an award winning formula. It is awarded: "Elle" Magazines's ‘Top 5’ (Nov. 2009), "In Style" 'Best Beauty Buy' (2008), and "Allure" ‘Reader's Choice Award’ (2008).

I purchase the bobby brown gel eyeliner in granite ink together with the applicator Ultra Fine Eyeliner Brush. The brush doesn't work out well. The line doesn't fine and smooth enough. I thought it was due to lack of practice at first, therefore keep trying until I finally gave up. And I bought another angled liner brush and it works like a charm.

Now I have a attractive beautifully lined eye. You too can have it, pretty in style.
