I got a travel set of urban decay coloured eyeliner pencils last year and have loved having them. Can't find a link anywhere, but had about 8 mini sized pencils... and was in THE SALE.
Anyway, I was looking to restock, and saw this. I WISH.
So - seems I may have to move away from urban decay - so can you recommend any other brands? What do you guys use? I like having lots of colours

I'm no makeup expert but I like it, it doesn't smudge during the evening which is always a good thing The pot is tiny but it lasts for absolutely ages. Liquid eyeliner used to terrify me but I practiced and find it less scary now. I tried felt tip because I assumed it'd be easier but I smudged it all over the place.
I have a couple of coloured ones from avon but they sort of feel cheap and i dont seem to be able to get them to go on smoothly but that may just be me.
(work really well on lips too, and stay on quite well)
Black: http://www.boots.com/en/Maybelline-Eye-Studio-Lasting-Drama-Gel-Liner_1190781/ (actually amazing. Doesn't come off until you use make up wipes!)
Glitter: http://www.barrym.com/products/eyes/liquid-liners/glitter.html (pretty good for glitter, although I've never found a glitter one that stays on all day)
I don't know about coloured liquids, as I've never used them, but Barry M pencils are good too, so I guess their liquid will be as well... stargazer might do a liquid too but I'm not sure!
Gels & liquids that are good - Illamasqua presision ink, MAC fluidlines, any powder + Illamasqua sealing gel (actually makes it waterproof too!!), collection 2000 gel liners, Illamasqua, MAC and Barry M pencils are all goo. EyeKo are also very good!
I usually stick to black eye-liner's myself.
One that I have found is boots no7 metallic black eyeliner.
It seems to stay on well, goes on nicely, is not too dark so you can build it up if you like for any kind of look. Annnnd its not too pricey as well ^^
I find I make a terrible mess trying to put on liquid eye liner!
I do like the... messy smudged grunge look allot.
The liquid eye liners do a more, solid line?
I wonder how that would look on me! xD
The Bobbi Brown one is supposed to be really good.
I've used a Rimmel pen thing and it's really easy to apply, but I used to have to leave the nib to fill up again for the second eye.
I'm currently using a black eyeshadow (http://www.muastore.co.uk/index.php/12-shade-dusk-til-dawn-palette - bottom right) and it gives a nice finish. I use the Maybelline Gel Liner brush with it.
My mother said she recently bought a gel one so I might try hers out.
Anything less messy than black all over my eyeball is a plus for me
The last one I bought before that was Make Up Academy and was 99p (which should have been a warning to me) as it ran terribly the first time I wore it (I think I had slightly watery eyes as it was a sunny day) so I never used it again and wasn't that soft so was hard to apply.
I've also got a blue one, it's a sort of grey-blue colour, I can't remember the brand but you can't get it in the UK I don't think so probably not much use anyway.
