Pencil! For sure. I still use pencil. It's easier to control and clean if you make a mistake!

Definitely pencil lol. gel is also really easy. I recommend the L'oreal Paris 24 hr Infallible Gel Liner :)

Pencil or if you prefer the look of liquid/gel, I'd use something like the eyeko skinny mini eyeliner.

Pencil eyeliner is good to practice with for beginners. However, it doesn't give as much of a defined effect. Felt tip liner is a great alternative because it has the appearance of a liquid liner with an easier application process!

Pencil for water line and gel, or liquid felt tip pen for top :)

I guess it depends where you're putting the eyeliner. It's very easy to put pencil on the waterline but not as easy on the top lash line. Opposite goes for liquid liner it's harder on the waterline but easier in the eyelid.

To be honest its going to be a learning curve with either so I would say pick the one you like the look of the most and keep practising :)

Ig it depends. If you want to line you want the liner on your bottom lid, pencil for sure. However, if you want to apply it to your top lid then liquid but sometimes when I do cat eye I use pencil first to make the lines even then go over it with liquid

To be honest I feel it would be a waste of your money to buy a pencil eyeliner because though it may be easier to apply it won't give you a clean polished wing or look so I feel you would be better or using a felt tip that is not that hard to use its actually quite easy to make a good job or even a gel if you would like hope I could help :D
