Eyeliner was first used in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia as a dark black line around the eyes. As early as 10,000 BC, Egyptians wore various cosmetics not only for aesthetics but to protect the skin from the desert sun.Research has also speculated that eyeliner was worn to protect the wearer from the evil eye.The characteristic of having heavily lined eyes has been frequently depicted in Egyptian art (from Wikipedia)
Eye liner is used to define your eye it opens widens or elongates your eye.
Liquid liner or gel liner always gives your eye a dramatic well defined strong line but pencil liner or kohl liner gives a more softer look.
