What's the easiest eyeliner to use gel, pencil, or liquid?.

I feel like gel is the easiest to use, liquid can get pretty messy and pencil doesn't come off as "sharp".

Gel or felt tip for top. Pencil for waterline.

For beginners I always reccomend felt tip eye liners. Next comes gel.

For beginners, pencils are easiest to use. they're a lot more forgiving than gel or liquid.
I personally prefer gel & khol/pencil eyeliners.

I use gel on my waterline and liquid on top.
Tip: apply gel eyeliner with a regular eyeliner pencil if you feel uncomfortable using a brush. Set it with black eye shadow (or whatever color gel liner you use)

None of them. Pen is the easiest to use! The best one I have ever used is Kat Von D's Tattoo liner. It's a sephora for $18 and it gives me a perfect cat eye every time!

D's or Stila Stay All Day Liquid Liner Pen (better than Revlons because it last longer). As far as tips go I like to apply pencil first and then apply liquid over it. As for gel liners I say Maybelline Master Studio, Wet N Wild, or Inglot. But I only use gel and liquid for the top lids and pencil for the bottom lashline (I don't like lining it on my waterline because it looks too harsh on me and it makes my eyes look smaller). My favorite pencil is L'Oreal Infallible
