Both liquid eyeliner and a pencil eyeliner can be used to achieve a cat eye or winged look.
A brush tip eyeliner typically offers a more intense, precise, and defined line. Its fine brush or felt-tip applicator allows for sharp wings and clean lines, perfect for achieving a bold and dramatic cat eye.
Pencil eyeliners offer more control and ease of use, especially for beginners. They provide a softer, smudged effect, and are great for creating a more subtle and smoky cat eye. Eye pencils are easier to correct and blend, giving you more flexibility in shaping your cat eye.
It really comes down to your personal preference and comfort level. If you have a steady hand and prefer a precise and crisp look, liquid eyeliner is a great choice. If you're still practicing or prefer a softer, more blended effect, an eyeliner pencil might be the better option. Experiment with both to find the style and eye look that suits you best!

The order in which you apply eyeshadow and eyeliner is a matter of personal preference and the eye look you want to achieve. The common approach is to apply eyeshadow first before eyeliner. By starting with eyeshadow, you can create a base color and blend it well before applying eyeliner. This also helps for smoother application of your eyeliner and less smudging.
On the other hand, some people prefer to apply eyeliner along the lash line first to create a more defined look and then apply eyeshadow over it to soften the line and create a more seamless look.
Ultimately, the choice is up to you depending on the eye look you are going for and what technique works best for you.
Yes, you can use eyeshadow as eyeliner! By using a damp small angled brush, you can apply eyeshadow along your lash line to create a softer and more diffused line. To do this, slightly wet the brush, pick up some eyeshadow, and carefully apply it. It is important to remember that the longevity and color intensity may not be as strong as using an eyeliner pencil or liquid eyeliner. Additionally, not all eyeshadows will work well as eyeliner, especially those shimmery eyeshadows that are glitter or metallic. Matte eyeshadows tend to work best.
