    the pencil ones are easier to remove...so if it gets too thick you can use a cottonpad dipped with a little makeup remover to get it nice and thin

    the liquid ones does smudge less on the whole, and you can get it nice and thin in one goal, given that you do it properly....on the other hand i don't think that you can get a nice smokey effect with it (correct me if i'm wrong...)

    Pencil is easier to blend in and smudge (and easier to remove if you DO make a mistake ^^b) but liquid has a better staying power...

    And liquid liner is more clear (the line) while pencil like would be... kind of blended in and easily smudged...

    Pencil is easier to use but I think liquid eyeliner gives a more realistic look but it can be very messy. It is also hard to make the line look connected with liquid eye liner.

    agreed. i am starting to use eye liner this year and even with pencil its just a bit freaky to write/draw so close to your eye. (and i wear contacts and touch my eye all the time ><)

    pencil for bottom, liquid for top just because it goes on faster.
