I'm an eyeliner freak, I must confess. And I have and use them all: powder eyeshadows applied wet and dry, liquid liners, gel liners (BB and Smudgepots), pencils, and yes, cake liners too (this and Trish M.). Fortunately, I happen to have a skilled hand and a love of the many possibilities of transformation eyeliner provides. From a tiny, indiscernible line smudged into lashline to create a natural, no-makeup look to a dramatic 60's winged line,  eyeliner is an essential part of my makeup collection. I'm never without it.
Having said this, benefit babecake is the most versatile workhorse of an eyeliner I own. Oh how I wish there was an inexpensive drugstore alternative to this, but I just haven't found one. There are two beautiful, rich colors: a warm brown that can create a gentle daytime look (Audrey) and a black (Sophia), both clearly named for beauty icons whose famous eyes were always dramatically lined. Both colors are richly pigmented, and great on their own. I also like to mix the two to get a darker, blacker brown that is somewhere between the two. In this tiny mirrored compact is an arsenal for several eyeliner looks: the natural, non-distinct smudge, the dramatic winged cat eye line, or anything in between.  Long wearing, too. Once applied, these don't smear or budge on me. It is a bit expensive (US 28.00, I think), but if you have a budget that allows it and you're into eyeliner, this is a great makeup investment.

I love babecakes.... its the best eyeliner even for people who arentt so good with eyeliner... you  get to choose if you want it liquidy or thick... you have to add water or she laq since it is a solid to begin with. but then this way you can apply it .... the way it works the beest for you.

Awsome cake eyeliner. The compact is half dark brown and hafl black for day and evening wear. Its an awsome quality, its great if you put it on wet with Benefit's She-laq because its waterproof, but even if you dont it lasts a long time before smearing. Its a small compact but a little goes a long way. (brush NOT included)
