19 liquid eyeliners that won't smudge on oily eyelids — even in this weather!
Tattoo Liner Liquid Eyeliner, $34, KVD Beauty
image

Not all eyeliners are created equally and KVD Beauty’s Tattoo Liner Liquid Eyeliner makes the case for that. Like it’s name, the product doesn’t transfer, even on hooded eyes and has a 4.2/5 rating on Sephora. It also has a very slim tip so that you can create a precise wing.

The formula contains a film-forming agent resistant to sweat, tears, water and rubbing to achieve not just a durable but a gorgeous colour too. The sheer black formula blends effortlessly into your lash line, giving a naturally-enhanced look. It’s also super easy to apply, thanks to the unique brush which has just the right mix of firm and soft. A foolproof and waterproof eyeliner – what’s not to love?

Intense Ink Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner, $22, Sephora Collection

The ‘gel-ink’ technology used here makes the liner extremely easy to apply, with little effort required. Say goodbye to struggling in front of the mirror for minutes each day, just to get your eyeliner right. Plus, the 0.3mm applicator tip might be ultra fine but it packs a punch and feels like you’re using a brush. Choose between satin or metallic finishes then get ready to dazzle everyone with your stylish eyes.

Maneater™ Liquid Eyeliner, $31, Tarte

If the name itself isn’t enough to entice you to pick up this eyeliner, we don’t know what will. It’s also ideal for anyone who loves statement eyes. The micro-brush tip is smooth on your lashes so you can easily add more product to amp up the drama. The formula also contains castor oil which helps to nourish and moisturise your lashes so go ahead and use them all day, every day – your lashes will thank you for it.

Sketch Marker Liquid Art Eyeliner, $31, Too Faced

The packaging is inspired by Japanese calligraphy pens so not only does this look elegant, you’ll also get to pretend you’re an artist working on a blank canvas every time you put on eyeliner. The precision-control felt tip gives smooth, even coverage. It’s even easy to draw cat eyes, if you’re so inclined. There are many colours to choose from so it’s what you need if you’re looking for everyday use or a bold, unique look.

You’ve heard the song Walks Like Rihanna? Well, now you can lashes like Rihanna! Fenty is, of course, the brand by pop star/businesswoman Rihanna. Between the hyper-saturated satin finish, the easy-grip triangle shape and the innovative flex tip, we can’t decide what we love most about this product. And if it’s good enough for RiRi, it’s good enough for us.

image

After trying a hoard of eyeliners over the years, I always find myself reaching for my trusty Maybelline Eyestudio Hypersharp Laser Liner. It’s well-loved for many good reasons. One of which includes its utmost precision for drawing lines. It goes on steadily in one fluid stroke and delivers richly pigmented colour. But the best part is, it doesn’t smudge on oily eyelids. It easy to use and has a great staying power; it draws on slick and smooth and intense, and lasts the entire day!

Guardian
Easy Pen Eye Liner, US$18, 3CE
image

This liquid eyeliner is great for days when you gotta go fast,as the sponge tip (as opposed to a longer brush tip) gives you greater control. It also glides onto the skin smoothly and forms a film as it dries down to a smudge-proof finish. As with most film-type liners, this product can be easily removed with warm water.

Matte Liquid Liner in Black, $14, Nyx Professional

The formula goes on glossy and quickly dries to a matte finish without flaking off over the day. The fine brush tip is the perfect length for creating long skinny lines and wing tips without being unwieldy. It lasts all day without smudging but takes some effort to remove.

Liner Pinceau Liquid Eyeliner in Ultra Black, $18.50, Bourjois
image

An intensely black liquid liner that stays fade-proof for up to 16 hours, and doesn’t transfer even on oily lids or hooded monolids. But be warned – the dip brush picks up a lot of formula, so you will need to take off the excess before applying to prevent mistakes, unless you’re a fan of very thick liner. Not for newbies.

Ex Liquid Eyeliner in Deep Black, $19.90, Browlash

The felt tip is smooth, yet firm enough to give even beginners good control, and dispenses an intensely black formula that stays smudge-proof and sebum-resistant. It doesn’t smudge even when applied on the lower lashes.

Real Lasting Eyeliner 1 Day Tattoo in Brown Black, $19.90, K-Palette

If black is too intense, and brown too subtle, then the deep brown pigment of this waterproof and smudge-resistant liner is perfect for that polished look without looking too done up.

Impact Liquid Eyeliner Super Waterproof Black, $18.90, Kiss Me Heroine Make
image

The dip-brush eyeliner picks up the perfect amount every time – there’s no need to brush off excess. The pigment is super black so one layer is enough. However, the applicator, while soft and gentle, may be challenging for eyeliner beginners, as it requires more control to apply. The formula is so lasting, an oil-based cleanser is needed to remove it.

Proof 10 Gelquid Liner in BK801, $18, Etude House
image

The fine brush tip glides over the lash line smoothly, dispensing a thick formula that dries to a vivid black and gives the effect of a gel liner – but without the tedium of using a pot liner with a separate brush that needs to be cleaned daily. Be warned: it dries quickly and stays put, making it difficult to do any corrections.

Liner Feutre in Ultra Black, $19.50, Bourjois
image

Extremely pigmented, this felt-tip liner gives a thicker line that glides on effortlessly for a ’60s cat-eye or a rebellious-rocker look. It dries to a matte finish, and sets without transferring or smudging in spite of how black it is – you need to be a little more practiced, using this eyeliner.
