What’s your favourite way to do your eye make-up? Will you try any of these brown pencil liners?
It sounds like a great idea.
I have blue eyes so brown eyeliner suits me well as long as it’s not pale brown
I like the Rock & Kohl – what a great name!
i love coloured eyeliners
brown does not suit me. or black
It’s less harsh than black, but eyeliner is’nt really for me.
I rarely use it either.
I prefer brown liner to black. I find black too intense. I love the Lancôme one.
Do you think that the more you pay the better the eyeliner?
I’ve pretty much given up on eyeliner as it just runs into my eyes and stings. One that actually does stay put would be a real find.
I haven’t used an eye-liner in a while.
I like the Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner best. Always like Revlon products. Usually good value
I’ve used a few pencil liners, but liquid will always be my preference.
I like brown, it’s much softer than black
Great recs
I’ve gotta try these.
If you’re blond like I am and black is a bit harsh, brown is a good option
The huda and CT look divine, but I love them all
I’ve been using wind ups. Pencil eyeliners are a little annoying.
I have always worn black, but I am really liking the brown.
Whenever I used an eyeliner it was always brown, but these days I don’t bother.
I usually use a brown liner for day. It just seems less harsh.
I need a new eyeliner so this has some timely suggestions for me.
I always use black eye liner.I would love to try brown.
it’s been a while since I used a eye liner pencil, I just use liquid eyeliner at the moment I am keen to go back to a pencil
I honestly havent ever tried brown liner, I wonder if it would suit me.. I will have to try!
My eyes are too sensitive for a pencil liner these days
