What is the most common type of eyeliner used?

Liquid
Gel
Pencil
Cream

The correct answer is: Pencil

The most common type of eyeliner is pencil. This type of eyeliner is favored for its ease of use and versatility, making it accessible for both beginners and experienced users. Pencil eyeliners come in a variety of formulations, including traditional wooden pencils, retractable pencils, and even twist-up varieties. They are often appreciated for their ease in applying, allowing for precise lines and the ability to build up intensity as desired. Pencils can also offer different finishes, such as matte, satin, or shimmer, appealing to diverse aesthetic preferences. Furthermore, pencil eyeliners tend to smudge less compared to cream and liquid formulas, making them a popular choice for everyday wear. While liquids and gels may provide longer-lasting and more dramatic looks, they require a steadier hand and more skill to apply. Cream liners can be great for blending but often lack the precision that pencil liners can deliver.
