20 Best Waterproof Eyeliner For Waterline (2023 Updated)

BEWARE! Contact users- I’ve ruined several pairs of contacts using this liner. I normally love Stila products & I will only use Stila Stay All Day liquid liner but THIS is HORRIBLE for contact users! Get ready for blurry vision or just can’t see period! You can literally see the black smudges upon removing your contacts! & what’s worse is the liner will NOT come off no matter how many times you clean them, even using a super strong cleaner.

I tried NOT putting it in water line. I tried to be extra careful & get it just outside my lash line so it wouldn’t get close to my contacts. But this liner ruined my contacts all but 1 time. And on top of that for a full price premium brand I didn’t even get 10 uses out of this pencil b4 it ran down to a nub then fell out of the tube! Total waste of $$ for me.

Very surprised considering Stila’s other great products. I will say the pigmentation was great! it glides on smoothly. I could easily smudge it out as a base or for a smoked out look b4 it set. But, Stila needs to go back & work out the kinks on this product.

Such a bummer.

I got this as an xmas present (self chosen one) and it’s in a grey colour not intense black, can’t remember colour name. I put it on at four thirty pm New Years eve, got back at two thirty pm. it’s now quarter past two and STILL ON.

and still amazingly coloured, no fade. I have NEVER had such a great pencil, it goes on really easily too. both in the inner eye and the outer lids. I rarely spend this much on make up, and often when I do I’m super disappointed and regret it.

This is now MY ONLY EYELINER. it’s that good. I cannot say how great it is enough. of course others may not find it so wonderful, all skins are different, but I’m fifty six and have beginnings of slightly losing elasticity and this pencil goes on like an absolute dream.

thanks Stila don’t change the formulation please!!.

This eyeliner is trash. I felt compelled to come write a review on this garbage after literally going through a weeks worth of daily contacts in a three hour period. The culprit- this hot pile of garbage eyeliner that says waterproof and is recommended for use in water line.

After putting this on this morning I started doing the one eyed wink about 20 minutes into my work day. Ok, fine- sometimes you get a dud contact no big deal. flash forward to seven (!!!!) contacts later and I have my glasses on because I can’t bring myself to waste any more.

The eyeliner, although it has long worn off, is still pooling around in my eyeballs and trying to find its way out of my eyes. Let me also state for the record that I am very skilled with makeup, and I cannot stress enough that I do a thin line in my waterline, nothing more than a very light coating.

With the contacts it found a way to sit directly on top in the center where I couldn’t see it with a mirror to try and trouble shoot- no it went for the complete annihilation of all contacts and my vision.

If this review saves even one of my nearsighted sisters, I have done my job. This stuff is absolute garbage.

I was looking for a blue/teal retractable eyeliner and this one is almost perfect!! It lasts all day and doesn’t smudge unless i rub really hard. It def makes brown eyes pop! The reason it looses a star however is it doesn’t go on as well, on the waterline.

But if that’s not an issue for you, than this is perfect! I sometimes wear it right on the tightline, do winged liner, and you can even do graphic liner. For mostly whatever, this is perfect! I am going to keep buying for sure!.

I’ll be honest. I wish that NYX had made all of their newer epic liner pencils in this format. These retractable eye liner pencils are just so convenient and make application so easy that I want them in more colors.

Not to mention they’re incredibly affordable, the pigmentation is no joke and they apply like a dream. With all of this praise, what’s the caveat? Just that if worn along the lower lashes and one has oily, watery or under eye skin which tends to heavily fold/crease when laughing/smiling then these will smudge.

To be fair, no one said they were smudge-proof sooo. that was on me.

I absolutely love the black one!!!! It glides on so smooth, one swipe on the waterline and I’m done. It comes off easily with micellar water too. I have had a couple of issues with different colors, they have gone on chunky and broke several times, but I swear up and down about the black one.

It must have been bad batches with the different colored ones (I had the light purple one that was awful, the bronze one is decent but a little chunky). They just need to come out with a DARK GREEN (the olive one is atrocious).

But the black one is my holy grail.

I finally found a product 🙌 😌 that works! Where have you been hiding? For all my Canadian babes this liner is the real deal! First of all It’s smudge proof it’s long lasting and doesn’t smudge at the corners of your eyes! Vasanti cosmetics is a Canadian woman owned makeup company I heard great things abt them! Why didn’t I try their products ahead of time? I love the color payoff! It’s not too pigmented black but it’s black it’s matte! It’s pretty dark black! I use it mainly for my waterline! It’s dark really color payoff for my under eyes! I got it on sale couple of months ago with a mascara set! I paid $21 for both mascara and eyeliner such a good deal! 👍 girls you must try this! I don’t know if it’s available in the states as of yet but it will be pretty awesome 😎 if it is Universally available 😀!.

Good Day Everyone, Quite reluctant initially making this purchase for several reasons; unfamiliar merchant, timely delivery, compromising my account. Well I was pleasantly surprised my order arrived within 4 days (WOW) and Pay Pal was an option which is my preference for online shopping.

The pen is very simple to use and delivered the look I have been desiring for some time. For me my age shows around my eyes; Vasanti to the rescue. I was so pleased with the look achieved, unfortunately I didn’t capture the look with a photo.

I assure you this is not puffed; this pen is now part of my makeup regime. Thank you Vasanti for the #REgAL flava!! Golden Girl Representing!!!😊.

I was looking forward to this new eyeliner pencil with the promises advertised. I applied and before I could finish touching up my eyebrows, I couldn’t believe I had big black liner appearing to melt and run off my lower eyelashes! Worst part, good luck getting the smudge off.

I ended up rubbing off my foundation attempting to clean the black off my face. At this point I didn’t attempt mascara and threw the towel in as a big cash lost cause! I told women on Instagram NOT to waste their money too.

If a product is good I will shout off the roof tops to other women to buy, sadly not this product.

This pencil is ideal for the upper and lower waterline. What a difference it makes on the appearance of your eyes. I have very long lashes and the added black in my waterline adds such a dramatic look and even makes my lashes look longer.

I’ve been asked if I have false lashes. I also bought an eggplant color for my lower waterline. Really brings out the green in my eyes. That color is hard to find and I was thrilled that Vasanti Carrie’s It also stays and I don’t have to reapply.

The Kajal waterline eyeliner is the best!! This eyeliner is very easy to use and it actually stays on!!! I have tried Clinique, Lancome and other top of the line names and they do not stay on! I just about gave up on liner until I saw an advertisement for Vasanti products.

I decided to try it. I was very, very excited when I received the liner! I applied it and it stayed on for 10 hours, no touch ups were needed!! I am a forever customer and highly recommend the eyeliner!.

I do love this eyeliner, especially b/c Elf products are Cruelty Free & the Company is trustworthy/transparent about the Ingredients they use. My favorite thing about this particular eyeliner is that it’s retractable and doesn’t need to be sharpened.

It seems to last me a few months, which is awesome seeing that the price is so reasonable. I will be honest, (as I believe all reviews should be) I do not agree 100% with the “No Budge” description….

It stays well on my upper lid lash line, but once I get to the inner corner of my eye it tends to smudge and it doesn’t stay completely on the waterline or underneath the waterline. I’m guessing that’s most likely b/c it’s not waterproof.

A couple touch ups are usually needed in those areas……………. I work in an extremely busy restaurant, it’s greasy, usually hot and sweaty, and I have super oily skin & the liner stays put on the upper lid quite well.

I do use setting spray, and setting powders, & I also apply my eyeshadow on top of my liner, while sometimes applying another thin layer of liner on top of that closest to my eyelashes. …. Overall this Eyeliner is Great, and again, honestly you can’t beat the price! The Quality far surpasses the price point in my opinion.

I just wouldn’t say that it’s completely “Budge Free”. :).

I really love this eyeliner and this brand all together. It is extremely easy to use,apply, and also to put away. I honestly love how cost effective this brand is without hurting the quality of their products.

I will continue to buy from them as long as that doesn’t change. I love this specific eyeliner because of its smoothness when applied as well as its lasting power. It’s true, it doesn’t smudge and I’ve NEVER found an eyeliner that doesn’t do that! Also, I love the color.

I usually get black, boring, but this time I got charcoal (daredevil, I know lol) haha. Now, this is a color other brands do not offer often, so I tried it. I love it! It is great! A++! Xxo @Influenster @Elf #Influenster #VoxBox #elf #eyeliner #beautiful #makeup #musthave.

First time user of this liner product and no regrets! Easily applies and has proven for all day wear. (i do use the ELF setting spray to “hold” my makeup as well) The brown is a dark chocolate shade, which i prefer for a daytime natural look with my brown eyes.

My only remark is on the limited color options…i personally like to use purple shadows and liner on occasion which also is complementary for brown eye color. I know green and blue shades are favs for some who pair with hazel and blue eye colors.

Overall great liner. wears well. applies nicely. is not heavy or thick. recommended.

Easy to apply, great staying power, decent price point. I use this in my lower lash line most times I do my makeup and it glides on beautifully for a great brightening effect! I expect to continue to use this and potentially repurchase it when I run out.

Compared to the previous Annabelle liners I’ve tried, of which one was awful and one was ok, I was pleasantly surprised!.

Easy to use without the need to warm up the tip before applying on my waterline. Never causing my eyes to get watery and it stays on a long time! Plus I love the price tag at under $10 a stick. Loved the first one so much I went back and purchased 3 other colors.

Very disappointed with this eyeliner. When sharpening, the Color portion just falls apart & is no longer useable. Do not waste your money on this!!

Most smeary “eyeliner” ever. Can’t really call it eyeliner, because even if I swipe it across my lids in an apparent line, it doesn’t stay that way, in no time! Smeary raccoon eyes! Worst. Don’t even think it could be smoky or will act as a liner, because it WILL NOT.

I have read other reviews that day it is so great, well they must live in a country that has no mirrors. Had high hopes, and glamorous well-performing eyeliner expectations out of this thing, and what a bunch of poop those eye makeup dreams turned out to be.

Quickly. Horrible on upper lash line, horrible on lower lash line, horrible tight lining upper lid AND lower lid. Wanna know what this pencil is good at? Making you appear drunk or stoned out of your mind, amazingly unkempt, and maybe hysterical.

(Maybe it’s made with inconsistencies in the recipe? I really can’t imagine how anyone could give this a decent rating. ) It’s an indecent rip off, Pat McGrath. It’s been out a while, bc I got it a few years ago.

Surely, you can respectfully fix this pencil to be usable.

I am sharing my honest and authentic opinion, as a Sephora Beauty Insider Community Ambassador. This is the third eyeliner I own from PMG. I also have Blk Coffee and Blitz Brown. The formula is creamy, easily blendable and long wearing.

I can wear it on my upper and/or bottom lash line with no issues. It has great color payoff and doesn’t tug on the skin when applied. You can also blend it across your lid for an all over color base.

Blitz blue has some shimmer in it. The color is darker than the image online. It is more of a navy blue than electric blue but still looks beautiful on.

Every time I use Pat McGrath’s products, I fall in love a little more with her brand. I was sent the PermaGel Ultra Glide Pencil in ‘Xtreme Black. I am over the moon with it and it’s now in my daily quick fix makeup grab bag.

I have been using it frequently during the pandemic to give me a little definition and sultriness when I’m not wearing full eye shadow. It’s super soft and glides on silky smooth (yes, like inky butter!! lol) but once it sets, it stays put.

I do a little liner on my top and bottom lash lines, then I smudge it real quick and sometimes add a little eye shadow to make it more smoky. It does exactly what I need it to do and more. I can’t see myself loving another black pencil better after this; it’s the little black dress of eyeliners.

It’s evident that Pat is hands-on with her products, ensuring she tests out what works and what doesn’t and pays close attention to details. This level of care results in magical shades & textures, perfect for pro artists and enthusiasts alike.

Big fan!!.

I’ve been wanting to try a shade of purple like this for a while. It seemed very pretty when swatched on my wrist, but it was a let down in real life. I had planned on wearing this on my waterline, but just couldn’t get it to glom on.

I thought that I’d try it on my upper lash line, but that was also a no-go. The color wasn’t vibrant enough, and I couldn’t really tell that it was plum. The description for this is “dark smoky plum” and it was very heavy on the smoky shade.

I also didn’t think that the retractable feature of this liner did much for me. The line wasn’t thin enough. I know this has a built-in sharpener, but I’ve always found those stubby sharpeners to be clumsy to use.

I usually like SC eyeliners.

I struggle with eyeliner application and choose a tight lining on the waterline approach and it looks best on me. which narrows the playing field with eyeliners. You have to find a waterproof gel that doesn’t transfer to your lower lash and end up all over the place in an hour.

The Sephora associate who helped me because they were out of the UD 24/7 told me about this hidden gem. She said she had always overlooked the Sephora brand, but has found so many good comparable items to prestige brands within the line.

Usually when I ask for help I get directed to prestige, and I was impressed with the helpful employee so I purchased it. She was right. this eyeliner is a gem! And for the price, you can’t beat it. I will be buying a couple of more colors to add my arsenal.

I’ve been looking for an eyeliner that stays on all day for awhile now. I’ve been using a Clinique eyeliner & it’s just ok. Decided to purchase this eyeliner because it said it was waterproof. I only line the top & bottom of my waterlines.

The top part goes on smoothly and stays on ok, but will eventually come off towards the corners. The bottom waterline always comes out too fat & clumpy so I have to fix it. After a few hours my bottom waterline will look like a raccoons eyes! I mainly sit at a desk for work so I’m not sweating or in an environment where my make up should be melting off.

This is worse than the Clinique liner. Guess you get what you pay for. Pretty disappointed with this product & will not purchase again. Still searching.

This has been my holy grail liner for the past 2 years. As I’ve gotten older I’ve wanted a more subtle look for work and the smudge stick is perfect. The glitter in lion fish gives my eyes a bit of sparkle without being too obvious so I have no issues wearing it to work.

I smudge it out when I want a more subtle look. The fact that it can be smudged makes it super forgiving if you have shaky hands or if you’re in a rush and you’re worried about making mistakes with liquid liner.

Because it’s smudgable and I have oily skin, I find the colour will fade after a long day (10-12 hrs) so if you’re looking for eyeliner that won’t budge, a liquid one may be a better option.

This is the best eyeliner for the waterline out there. I have so many eyeliners from ultra high end all the way down to the lowest end and this one is the holy grail. It lasts a long time, it’s highly pigmented, reminds me of traditional Kajal, doesn’t make my eyes water after I put it on, and stays put.

This picture is my daughter just a day ago and after 9 hours of parties. She wore the Pixie waterline liner in black and silver.

I’ve used high end tight line/waterline liners and now use this one exclusively. Easy to use, no sharpening needed and can’t beat the price. To prevent it from breaking, you only need the tip to peak out from the case.

If I want a more made up look, I’ll take it above my lash line and make the line thicker and/or tap eyeshadow on top of the liner and smudge. Like with most make up that is long wearing, you need a make up remover to take it off because just soap and water is not enough.

This baby works on waterline and tightline and doesn’t MOVE. Not sure where all these smudgy comments are coming from. It’s stays on so well it’s a challenge to get it off! Only took away the 5th star because I’d love other colors than just black.

I bought this gel liner the first time I had my lashes done and needed an oil-free liner, and I haven’t worn anything else since. For well over 5 years+ of daily wear, I’ve had many other more expensive liners but none have come close to this.

It’s a little pot and though i try to replace mine at least once a year, I have never been close to running out. The brush is perfect so it only takes a couple of mins to use. I suffer from dry eyes which means my eyes waters soon as i step out of the house, but they never smudge.

I’ve had so many compliments over the years about how flawless it looks on and many of my friends and even colleagues have gone to buy it for themselves. Fantastic also if you like individual lashes like me and need a gel-free liner.

Superb product!.

I can’t tell you how brilliant this gel eyeliner is! So easy to use and has a wonderful depth to the colour. It’s a soft kohl like blend and applies beautifully. I have used liquid eyeliner for over 30 years and I will never go back to it! Gel all the way.

It’s also easy to remove but has staying power through the day. My only advice would be to use a different eyeliner brush (I use real techniques) as the longer brush helps to control the gel better and.

I apply the gel to the back of my hand as a palette to work from. Definitely a game changer. Brilliant!.

Ever since Clinique discontinued their gel eyeliner a Boots assistant advised I tried this and to be honest it pretty much is the same but cheaper. It is long lasting, good thick colour, the brush that comes with it is slightly angled to help application, a little does go a long way so you’ll find only needing to purchase this every few months.

If your using gel for the first time don’t be disheartened if it doesn’t look good straightaway, it does take a little practice but alot better than pencil eyeliner. The only con would be that it takes a little longer than I’d like to dry.

I wasn’t expecting great things as I’ve tried a lot of smudgy kohl liners that promise to set and last, and either never do, or involve a pot-based liner that will last but isn’t quick or convenient to apply.

But some CT products continue to surprise and impress me, much as I wish I could stay irritated at their very “young and perfect” models and marketing campaign that’s diverse in ethnicity but not by age at all! This lasted me all day through a morning puppy training class in the freezing cold (no streaky eyeliner here thank you!), cleaning the house, and a social dance class.

I’ll agree with everyone here – Barbarella brown is a very intense brown but that is exactly what I wanted. I wear foundation shades in Chantecaille (Shea) and Charlotte Tilbury 9W, and I can easily see a lovely rich smokey line that isn’t harsh.

I’m beginning to see why a lot of makeup artists suggest using rich brown liners after a certain age or to soften a smokey eye look for the day. I bought the black liner too, but will save that for evenings out.

Well done Ms. Tilbury. You’ve convinced me that a rock n’ kohl life is the way forward.

I used to go to without thought black eyeliner…. This range is faultless best beginners eye liner stays on lash line…. Can make it as dramatic as you choose but this grey is my new black so much more interesting, less harsh but just as dark….

Think Charlotte Tilbury is fabulous beyond words to describe…. I was so overdue a rehash of my standard make up and brushes which I’ve stuck to same rules and limited colours for 20 years and this is in my 40s allowing me to feel better about creating distractions from my ever multiplying imperfections with the confidence a new look, colour or application technique can give you, I have countless wind up “no sharpener needed “ as since discovering rock and kohl and eye shadow pencils, I’d rather keep a few sharpeners handy and use these fixed in 30 seconds range eye make up….

no faults or improvements… recommend you try if your still using pen tip or wind up…. This is a new generation of pencil that didn’t exist when I was discovering make up!.

Purchased the nude color based on stellar reviews and lack of compelling options in the market. It goes on easily, very creamy, very blendable, and can take your time to work with it since the creamy formula is more forgiving.

Color is perfect for the waterline even on my olive tan skin, had an immediate brightening effect. Unfortunately it doesn’t last. 1 hour on my waterline and it bled/smudged down to my under eye area.

What a shame, if it was longer lasting this would be 4 stars, 5 stars if it was retractable vs pencil sharpener because the price point for the amount is so high so a pencil sharpener wastes more product.

Marc jacobs, lancome, and urban decay (in black, green, and blue) last almost a whole day on my waterline.

About 3 months ago I gave away thousands and thousands of dollars of makeup and skincare and started buying all Chanel products and it’s been the BEST decision that I’ve ever made in my beauty products.

This eyeliner is my most recent purchase and it’s amazing! It glides on so smoothly and stays put all day and does not run or smudge. I first bought Noir Intense and it’s as black as black can be! Very black! I returned it and bought Ébéne which is a beautiful black but not as bold as the first one I bought.

I can’t say enough about how amazing Chanel makeup and skincare products are. It’s so beautiful and good for your skin and lasts. I highly recommend Chanel. I’m 48 and I’ve tried about all high end brands and nothing compares to Chanel.

Try many eyeliners from drugstore and some branded eyeliner. From gel to pencil and liquid. This one is the only one I’m going back too. I have sensitive eyes and this comfortable for all day long. Glide smooth on tight eyelashes line and easy to create those winging lines on hooded eyes.

The price is higher than others but you always got what you paid for. tips: twist the pencil enough for one eye line at a time so it won’t dry. If it’s dry or you want to get that corner wing on one strike, use paper towel and draw a line on it 1st.

It will help the pencil smooth glide and sharp.

These eyeliners are simply the best. They apply on so smoothly and the colors are perfect. My favorite is Espresso and I’ve been using it for years. Recently I started to branch out and try other colors.

I’ve purchased other brands every now and then, but really, there’s no point. They’re either cheaper and the quality not as good, or more expensive and the quality is the same as Chanel. So no thank you, I’ll just stay with my perfect Chanel eyeliners.

Bought this after reading recommendations on Reddit that it’s a good dupe for the discontinued NYX matte liner which I used daily for years. The formula has much better staying power than a prestige brand I’d tried first (Anastasia B.

H. , which starts smudging in less than an hour). If I wear it for a long day I may have to reapply it in the early evening as it can “fade” a bit after a few hours, but thankfully that does NOT mean running or getting smudgy/melty (I think it must just kind of disintegrate or flake off).

I live in Miami where we’ve got summer heat and humidity year round so an excellent liner that can hold up in those conditions is key. My only other complaint is that when removing the applicator from the bottle, there’s so much resistance that sometimes the product can splatter when it finally releases.

Also, the brush tip is a little chunkier than I’d prefer. BUT, all in all, will I keep using this if NYX never brings back their matte liner? Yes — and on the plus side, even though the tube’s footprint is smaller than the long NYX version, there’s a lot more product inside the essence version, so it’s a steal of a deal.

The first time I purchased this eyeliner I was looking for one to put into my travel bag for a vacation and I didn’t want to spend a lot of money. I usually use Kat Von D’s tattoo liner because that’s my favorite.

At least until I used this one I’ve been buying it now for over 2 years! This is perfect for every make up bag and it’s the best and most inexpensive liner I’ve ever used. I’m a former MUA and I recommend it to all my friends and past clients.

I have teary eyes and I wear lenses and it never messes up. I wear it to work every day and it always looks like I have applied. I have not purchased another liner that I love as much as this one. If you are skeptical buy it now! It’s definitely a bang for your buck.

Y’all, this is THE. PRODUCT you should try to get your hands on if you want crisp, bold, will-never-leave-you-like-your-ex eyeliner that will hold through torrential rain, the most humid of holidays, and the boys who broke your heart.

I have gone swimming in the ocean with this on, and while my other makeup failed, this just held on like a dream. I don’t even need to prime/ hold spray this on (and I can’t wear other eye makeup as it just gets creasy and cakey), it just is the most consistent, long wearing, no fail eyeliner bout there.

And get this, in Canada, the price is $3. 29. Yes. Just all of the yes. Go get you some right now!.

If you plan to use this as a traditional, line above your lashes, cat eye liner, it is terrible! It’s on the dry side, skips, and good luck getting the same look on each eye. I was going to chuck it after first use.

So why the four? Because on a whim I tried it in my upper waterline the next day, and for that, it’s PERFECT. It is the only formula I have tried that doesn’t smudge or transfer to the lower waterline.

It doesn’t irritate the eye, it lasts through the day, removes easily (I double cleanse), and is super affordable. I chopped onions, got super teary, and it stayed put! It just lets you have that thick lash, super natural look that lining the waterline gives you with none of the downside.

It’s what I wanted Urban Decays waterline eyeliner to be (it wasn’t). So if you like that look/technique – pick this up. If you want a traditional liner, move on!.

I purchased this due to multiple recommendations online stating it is one of the best waterline eyeliners available. On Amazon it was under $2, what a steal! I put it in my waterline and it did take a few swipes to build it up to the deep black pigment I was looking to achieve.

Three hours later I looked in the mirror and it was still in my waterline exactly the same as when I’d applied it! Most eyeliners are well worn off by then in my waterline, as I have watery eyes upon applying liner to my waterline, when its windy, or if the car vents blow on my face.

At the end of the night I looked in the mirror before washing my face and it was still there in my waterline. I really do like this and the price is amazing. It isn’t the most pigmented retractable liner or the easiest gliding on the eyelid, but it does last all day and can create a nice line.

I wish I had known about this eyeliner sooner! The formula is amazing, not only is the eyeliner extremely black but even better the felt tip is flexible enough that it glides nicely and the tip helps create the perfect wing.

I have slightly hooded eyes and this is the first waterproof eyeliner that actually stays and sits well with my natural oils. It does not fade! The clip shows you how hard I rubbed and it barely budge, of course this is literally right after I applied it, but the longer you let it set the harder it is to come off.

I have tried this in the gym and it stays even with a face full of sweat! I definitely recommend this product!.

The bareMinerals Maximist Liquid Liner I tried was in the shade Maximist Black. According to bareMinerals, the liner is colored with mineral pigments and it is also a clean beauty item, vegan, and cruelty-free.

The liner is a waterproof vegan formula that uses a microalgae complex to promote thicker lashes. I have not used this product long enough to know if there are benefits of thicker lashes, but I appreciate the vegan formula and the concept of an eye makeup product that also improves my lashes during use.

I have not worn this eyeliner in water to check if it is truly waterproof, but I tried a smudge test on my wrist and was very impressed with the liner’s staying power, as it did not smudge or move at all when I rubbed my finger against it five minutes after application.

I did not try to smudge it around my eye area, but after application it stayed in place. This liner is fragrance free and has a flexible brush that allows me to apply liner gently in the delicate eye area.

The tip is thin and precise. The packaging is advertised as made with 50% post-consumer recycled plastic and the size of the liner is 3 ml, which I find to be an appropriate size. Overall, I enjoyed this product because of its easy application and significant staying power.

I am more inclined to purchase items that are vegan, cruelty-free, clean beauty, and use bio-friendly packaging than are not, so if purchasing an eyeliner I would reach for this product and recommend it to others for those reasons, as well as its excellent performance.

The eyeliner I have been using religiously was discontinued last year and I’ve been searching for a replacement ever since. I’ve used eyeliner (wing and cat-eye) for 20+ years now so I’ve tried many brands and applicators.

I gotta say this formula is really nice. It goes on incredibly smooth. Even lines, WITH NO SKIPPING! Dries quickly which is great since I have hooded eyes and liner that takes long to dry ends up smeared on my eyelids.

And the brush is great for thin lines and sharp points. I’d say the applicator might be my favorite I’ve used. I have years of experience applying eyeliner, but the brush is so effortless even a novice would be able to do it.

And if you do make a mistake the formula cleans up super easy. My last eyeliner was a pain to remove if you needed to do any cleanup. This kind I was able to easily use a q-tip to clean up a too thick line.

Yet, the formula had great wear. Held up through the day and washed off easily in the evening. My only complaint would be that I wish it was a little darker/more pigmented. At times I have to go over my line because the first pass doesn’t look very black.

The MAC color excess pencil the name of the color is glide or die as rich black color. It has the consistency of a gel. Feels like a crayon when you glided over your lid. The black color is the richest I have seen and it’s very bold.

This is a twist type of pencil that you can twist to give you more pencil or twist to put away. So far I have worn the pencil for 24 hours without any smudges. I have also worried for 24 hours into my waterline without having any trips to my skin area.

It glides very easily to my lid without transferring to the upper top of my under-brow area. Personally, I’m always looking for a pencil that I can place in my lid area without having it a few hours later transfer to the top of the lid area.

Also is really hard to find a pencil that can cover completely my waterline and not transfer to the bottom skin area and this pencil does a great job of staying in place and not transferring and making me look like a raccoon.

For the sake of testing the product I did wear it throughout my sleep and I was surprised that it did not transfer to my sheets or my pillowcase. I did a comparison between my L’oreal pencil and this MAC pencil and it was a big difference when it comes to durability and how long it stays on my lid and my waterline, this MAC pencil did stay longer.

I did go to the KEYs a very humid and sunny beach area in Florida and despite all that, the makeup did stay in place all day. The benefit of owning this pencil it’s that you really don’t have to deal with a brush to apply the eyeliner you just grab the pencil push it out and slide it really easily with just this one product, no need for a separate brush.

Is very easy to use and convenient. I would buy this product as I use a lot of eyeliner more than eyeshadow. My sister recommended me to use L’oreal for the long-lasting and I’m being waterproof, but this one is definitely a better choice when it comes to durability, long-lasting effect and water proof.

Will recommend to her and her friends.

This gel pencil was very beautiful on the eyes. It did drag and tug and pull a little while trying to make a wing on the outer corner of my eyes, I messed up the first time I tried and I had to wipe it off and start over.

It felt hard to control at first because of that, which is the reason I’m not giving it 5 stars. After a while of testing out ways to use it without tugging my skin too bad, I was able to make fairly even and nice winged eyeliner.

And it lasted from morning to night! It didn’t last overnight, but I suspect I had watery eyes and my face in my pillows too much, which made it smudge slightly. But the overall shape stayed, and would only need touch ups to fix and wear out! Compared to other products I’ve tried, this product has a really nice and pigmented formula that lasts a lot longer than most others.

I always test gel pencils or eyeliners on the back of my hand too, and try and smudge them, but this one didn’t smudge, even right after applying it! If it wasn’t for the tugging and messing up in the beginning, I would have given 5 stars.

But maybe that’s user error, so that could be my fault. This product is great though and I definitely recommend it and would consider purchasing again in the future when I need a new one.

I loved this eyeliner. And I especially loved this color. Serial Monogamist is a very dark army green color. At first glance it’s almost gray. But when the light hits right, you can see those dark green tones.

It’s the perfect way to add something interesting to a look while still keeping it an “every day” look. I just really loved the versatility of this color. On top of that. The gel pencil formula in itself is pretty great.

Once it sets it stay put really well, it is realy long wearing. I don’t tend to smudge my eyeliner that often, but if you do, I recommend going in straight away and doing so right after applying. This gel pencil will smudge, but it gives you a small window of opportunity to work with, if you let it set, that’s it.

Besides that, this is a retractable pencil. So keep in mind that keeping it sharp will be an issue. It doesn’t come with one of those tiny pencil sharpeners hidden at the end of the pencil or in the cap.

So you have to figure it out yourself. In my opinion that’s the biggest inconvenience. Still, the positives outweigh this one negative. I really do enjoy this pencil and I highly recommend it!.

I received the complimenting Waterproof Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Azurite Blue – [Vibrant Cobalt from KVD Beauty and Influenster in exchange for my honest review. This Gel Tattoo Pencil Liner is 100% Vegan Cruelty-Free.

Make-up inspired by tattoos to allow artistic forms of expression through makeup. I am obsessed with the versatility and vibrancy of this liner! It glides on ultra smooth and can be used to outline bold dramatic shapes or smudged for softer designs.

With practice, you could definitely get stunning, realistic tattoo shading effects using this liner. It also blends beautiful with other eyeshadow colors, so the designs are limitless. It the perfect compliment to KVD’s Liquid Tattoo Liner and I adore the authentic matte tattoo look the two create when they are used together.

If you’re going to get super artsy with the smudging; however, you gotta’ smudge it quick! It dries in about 10 seconds and once it’s dry it’s not smudging at all! I created a flower tattoo design on my forearm and left it on all day and well into the evening.

it stayed vibrant and beautifully intact! KVD’s Gel Tattoo Pencil Liner’s are a real gem for body art and cosplay designs! It is even soft enough to use on lips and has super staying power even after eating and drinking! KVD’ Beauty’s Azurite Blue Tattoo Gel Liner has quickly become my favorite eyeliner for making my baby blues POP! The color is bold and brilliant, expressive and intense! This formula also draws beautifully onto the waterlines to create an even more dramatic look, without any irritation.

Another BIG bonus is the easy twist up feature and that it doesn’t need to be sharpened. When I do want a sharper edge for finer details, I can just slice the tip with my X-Acto knife. But with the way this ultra-smooth, ultra-superior liner just melts onto your skin, it is hard to keep the edge very sharp for long.

A compromise for such rich results I’m fine with, nonetheless. It literally melts over your lids like butter; which is beautiful for sensitive eyes like mine. It does not tug at the eyelid’s soft tissue; nor does it get dry and crack over time.

I find that most eyeliners offering this kind of vivid and theatrical result will start to get dry and flaky as the day progresses, inevitably making my eyes itchy and irritated. KVD’s Gel Tattoo Eyeliner surpasses the test of time; staying vivid, fresh and silky with zero irritation, so I can wear it all day and well into the evening.

It’s truly smudge and water – proof! You can rub it and it’s not going anywhere! You can even run it under water, but it’s still not going anywhere! 100% Smudge Water Proof! It mimics a real tattoo while staying vivid, silky and fresh all day! It easily washes off with an oil-based make-up remover, when you’re ready to remove it.

True blue baby, I love you!.

I’ve always wanted blue eyeliner but could never justify purchasing something I probably wouldn’t use on an everyday basis. So when Influenster hooked it up in exchange for my honest and unbiased review, you better believe I was ready to wax lyrical about the product.

Unfortunately, as you can probably already tell by my rating, that’s not what we’re going to be doing today. I wanted to love this pencil more. Out of the box, the product is very promising. It’s a beautiful shade of azurite blue and I loved how it is also retractable.

That in itself deserves a star. The other one comes from delivering what it’s intended to do. That is, coloring my eyes, which it does very well with good payoff. Now for the cons. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by my Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils, but this “gel” pencil is not as creamy as the other reviews tout it to be.

It’s hard to apply with a brush, which is what I like to do when I work with pencils, and once it’s on it don’t budge. It’s even a struggle to remove with makeup wipes. Miss KVD, I don’t need my makeup to be THIS waterproof.

My biggest gripe, however, is the way the formula clumps up on my eyelashes. At first, I thought I was using it wrong, but after three attempts at trying to line my lash line I realized it’s not me. It can’t be when my UO eyeliners don’t even do this to me.

It was so bad that I actually thought I was going to lose my lashes trying to remove the buildup. And curling them??? Let’s just say it was the first time I ever *felt* my lashes because of how heavy and tacky the formula is.

All things considered, two stars is pretty generous for something with a learning curve as difficult as this one. I expected better quality from KVD and will prob use this mostly to line my waterline or for graphic liner going forward.

Sorry but it’s a no from me :-(.
