Twist up or sharpen eye liners

Citygirl1

Which do you think are best, the twist up ones or those you have to sharpen?

I only use the twist up ones. Never did get on with those you have to sharpen.

I've just started using liquid eyeliner and am loving it, goes on easy and last longer than the others I've tried.

I prefer eyeliners that need sharpening. Every time you sharpen it, your getting a fresh liner. A lot better in avoiding bacteria build up.

Liquid or gel for me. The pencils are too dry and just drag at the skin or too sticky and melt down the face.

I try to avoid anything that need sharpening, it seems a hassle and you waste product.

I use an ELF eyeliner pen. I adore it - you get the effortless slick look of a liquid eyeliner and the easy application of a pencil. I used to use Rimmel twist up pencils, but it always gave a very smudgy line: lovely if you're after that smoky-eyed look but not much good for day/work wear. Best bit is, the ELF one costs me £1.50 and lasts me around 5 months of daily wear.

I don't buy anything but ELF anymore. All their basics range is £1.50, mineral range around £3.50 an item and studio range is between £3.50 and £6 depending on what you get. I've found the quality of the basics range is easily equal to Rimmel/Maybelline, etc and their FB group often do free gift/free delivery codes. I used to spend a small fortune on a regular basis to just replace my foundation, eyeliner, a 3-shade pallet of eyeshadow and a lipgloss from places like Boots and Superdrug. Now I spend around £15 every three months and I have a much larger collection to choose from! I've been a customer for about two years now, and replace my mineral boost powder and foundation every six weeks or so at a total cost of £5, then spend another couple of pounds on lip and eye products to replace any that have run out/are due replacing and to try out one or two new things. In all honesty, if I were being more sensible I could "bulk buy" a couple of powders, foundations and other "essential" products for about £25, without any extra or non-essential items, and it would last me for easily six months.
