I've been using liquid eyeliner ever since i started wearing eyeliner, because i just cannot deal with the pencil liner. Right now, im leaning towards the creme and cake liners. I just bought Laura mercier's cake liner and her eyeliner brush and ive been practicing it. It's a big difficult to use at first, i admit, but i think once i get the hang of it, it would be easy. Plus i really like how u can draw a line soo close to ur lashes and it lasts all day, and makes your eyes bigger without people noticing you have eyeliner on.
Personally, i don't think u can get a soft look with a liquid liner, because the line will be too harsh, and precise. What I usually do is smudge eyeshadow of the same or similar shade on top of the line i just draw with a small thin brush for a softer, smudgy look. I use MAC's 266 or 219 brush for this.
I got mac's eye kohl too that i will try to use someday. I'm still having a hard time with eye pencils
By the way, anyone has experience on using laura mercier's cake liner and liner brush that can offer me some advice. I just started using and i'm having such a hard time, but when the MA used it on me, it looked so easy and she did it in like 30 seconds. I messed up like 4 times yesterday.

Any opinions? Is it possible to get a soft look with a liquid liner?
