Best Eyeliners: Pencil, Gel, Liquid, Felt Tip

Hannah sent me an email asking about the best eyeliners almost a year ago! After lots of testing and research, I've got some of the best eyeliners that last. I tried to be as versatile as possible, giving options of every price, need and type! I left out cake liners, since they aren't as common right now, but let me know if you need suggestions. Everything is linked below.


Best Pencil Eyeliners:


Best Gel Liners
Tip: Store pots upside down to help prevent drying out.

Best Felt Tip Marker Liners
Tip: Shake before using

Best Liquid Liners:
  • Lancome Artliner--Liquid liners can be tricky or intimidating, but this one is easy to use!
  • Maybelline Ultra Liner--A classic, waterproof formula that never lets me down
  • Paula Dorf Transfomer--This is my makeup artist secret. Take any shadow and turn it into a long-lasting liquid liner with this! Sure, you can do that with nearly any clear liquid, but this is smudge-proof. Works well on brides too, especially with false lashes.
  • Lip Ink Liquid Liner--Polyvore wouldn't clip the image when I was making the collage, so no pic here--click the link to see. This is made in USA with natural, vegan, organic, & kosher botanical ingredients. 100% smear-proof, money guaranteed!

Of course, it is impossible to please everyone, 
which is why I welcome your favorites in the comments!

I usually do my eyebrows myself, but I prefer them threaded. I finally found a place I like in Atlanta!
Thanks for your comments yesterday on my post!

  1. I love the Stile liner! It's so easy to use and always stays put. I'll have to try those other pencil liners that you suggested.

  3. Totally bookmarking this for when I go searching for a new liner, Elle:) I really love the UD 24/7 one and the Bobbi Brown gel liners, but I should really venture out!

  5. I use almay liquid liner& really love it. But I've heard a lot about the Kat Von D Tattoo kind- I may have to check that out.

  6. A few years ago, I was trying every eyeliner under the sun! I finally landed on the Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Liner and I have never looked back! I love being able to "paint" it on...I feel like I have so much more control over it! Have a great weekend, Elle!

  7. I got a sample of the Kat Von D tattoo and I am obsessed! Currently I am using a Sonia Kashuk pencil liner from Target and I get so many compliments and it stays put all day!

  8. Clinique has my favorite eyeliner, but they discontinued my favorite color a few years ago - I was SO SAD. I need to check out some of the pencil choices you recommend! I still haven't found a super great replacement.

  9. When I think of eyeliner I always think of pencil, but I never like how it looks on me so I never wear it. I think I might try the gel kind and try the L'Oreal--thanks for sharing!

  10. I am not very good at liquid liners for whatever reason. I would love to try the Tartiest Tarte and Kat Von D tattoo! I usually go high end for most products but liner is something I have stuck to drug store brands but want to see what all the fuss is about over these!

  14. The Stila stay all day is my number one go to. I use the UD waterline one sometimes on my bottom and it's okay...doesn't stay all day, but out of those I've tried on the bottom it's been the best.

  15. So many awesome liner scores! I'm a huge Smudge Pots fan. :)

  16. I really want to try the Tarteist Double Take. I was a fan of the Amazonian Clay pencil liners, and this one sounds like a winner too!

  17. I love the KVD tattoo liner. Def one of my favs in the bunch. I like the UD liners too! Great list to give people a large range of prices and brands to choose from.

  19. I love the Stila eye liner, but decided to try out the Kat Von D one, and now I think that I might love that one more! It's just so pretty and goes on so smooth!

  20. I'm a total liner girl so this was a fab roundup. I'm quite partial to my Chanel cake liner but I like the convenience of felt tip ones as well. I'm totally adding the Kat Von D one to my wish list.

  21. ah i've been thinking about trying the kat von d liner as it looks really simple to use. but you know what - i'm a pot and brush girl. and you didn't post my personal fav - mac chromaline. it lasts all day and then some. the best! used it for years

  22. I love the Lancome Artliner liner. Such a oldie but a goodie.

  23. I started reading and I was like "Hey! That's me!! I ended up picking up the Estee Lauder Double wear pencil and I really like it. I tried the Bobbi Brow gel liner, but didn't love it. I got the MAC gel liner a few months ago and it's been a favorite. I didn't know to store them upside down though. Genius tip! I'm still trying to get the hang of the felt tip marker pens. I just ordered a Sephora favorites kit and it has the Stila liner in it so I'm determined to learn. I'll have no excuse! Everytime I've tried to order teh Paula Dorf Transformer it's been sold out. I'm going to keep trying though! Thanks to you my eyeliner woes were solved. You're the best :)

  24. I've been wanting to find a new eyeliner since I haven't 100% loved mine. I need to try one of the pencil ones that you recommended!

    xo,

  25. Oh thanks for sharing! I just get cheap liners, but I should probably upgrade. These all sound really good!

  26. Oh awesome! I want to try that Tattoo Liner from Kat Von D! I just pinned this post to remind myself for once I run out of my current eyeliner. :)

  28. My favorite used to be the UD 24/7 Liquid Liners, so I hope the new formula is just as good!

  29. My favorite pencil liners are Make-Up Forever's aqua eyes. They are waterproof and last forever but are easy to remove as well.
    I am loving the felt tip liners as well. I haven't met one yet that I didn't like.

  30. I love gel liner but so far the ones I really like is from Maybelline and Rimmel, never tried the one from L'Oreal. I'll pick it up later this week.

  31. I had a similar thing as Paula Dorf Transformer, but it didn't work well, so I would like to try this one! Also, I am looking for gel eyeliners for ages, so it was very good to get to know some brands here! I think I would like to try YSL and Bobbi Brown. Stila as well, when my favorite primer is discontinued, I am sure it will be one day :( Today I have something a post about self-confidence. Would love to know your opinion! I am announcing, because I seldom write on Fridays, it's a bit new for me! Hope you have a beautiful weekend!

  32. I am always on the lookout for good eyeliners. I'll have to keep some of these in mind next time I'm at the store!

  33. I have never heard of a cake liner. I do want to try a gel eyeliner or a felt tip someday. Which of these two do you usually recommend most? So many options and suggestions here, I think there is a right one for everyone. ;-)

  34. Great picks for evry eyeliner type. Thank you for sharing it.
    KVD is my favorite for felt tip liner.

  35. Love this post and all the recommendations! So far my favorite pencil liner is the Stila smudge sticks. I love the UD ones too. I'm testing out the new Loreal matte-matic ones right now. And my favorite felt tip liners are Loreal infallible liner intense and maybelline line stiletto!

  36. I have been loving this Korean brand called Clio. Their Gelpresso pencil eye liner and their liquid liner are THE BOMB! Stays on all day without smudging and heck, even through a rigorous gym session and a swim on top of that!
