[@Sparrow487]

Which one is best for sensitive eyes?

[@slashedbeauty]

It depends on what you're sensitive to. I would say I have sensitive eyes that water easily and none of these irritate them. Though retractable style may be easier for you because you don't have to worry about sharpening them smoothly. I would say the essence and L'Oreal are the creamiest so you won't have to press too hard to apply which could be better for your eyes.

Are they any good? Also You didn't include the Maybelline tattoo liner, I really wanna know what are your thoughts on it.

I haven't tried either of those- it looks like the Long Lasting eye pencil isn't waterproof so that might be the main difference? besides the fact that it's retractable.
