I feel like eyeliner is something I rarely talk about. Considering it’s one of the makeup items that most people wouldn’t dream of skipping, I thought today I would sit down and talk about some of my favorites!
I’ve mentioned in previous posts that eyeliner is one of the things I struggled with for a very long time. Finding the right formula, the right method/tools for application, the perfect trick for no-fail, sharp, even winged liner. After awhile I realized that I was avoiding it because I struggled with all those things.
So after probably about $100 spent on eyeliner alone, I’ve narrowed it down to 3 products that I can count on for the perfect look every time, and I want to share them with you! Because I’m sure somewhere out there, someone is just as frustrated as I used to be!
So let’s get into it!
L’OREAL PARIS THE SUPER SLIM BY INFALLIBLE EYELINER ($7.99)
There are so many things I love about this liner. It’s so easy to use, it has a super fine point 0.4mm felt tip applicator which is great for a slim line and a decent wing, it dries fast and matte, and it doesn’t budge. It also doesn’t skip, drag, or tug on the eye like some others. I recommend this to everyone who asks for a good liquid liner that’s easy to use!
MAYBELLINE EYE STUDIO LASTING DRAMA GEL LINER ($7.94)
I have this in the shade ‘Blackest Black’, and it truly is the blackest black gel liner I’ve ever seen in my life. Hands down. It’s smudge proof and waterproof for up to 24 hours, and I can attest to that claim because silly me chose to wear this on my oily eye lids on one of the hottest and most humid days of the year (to an outdoor wedding) and by the end of the night, it was pretty much the only makeup left on my face! It comes with a little brush in the package, but I threw it out. It did nothing for me. I prefer to use this with my Morphe M160 1/8 Angle Liner Brush ($2.99) to get a cut-a-bitch wing and the sharpest, smoothest line possible. They’re like, a match made in makeup heaven.
RIMMEL LONDON SCANDALEYES WATERPROOF KOHL KAJAL EYELINER ($4.99)
Waterproof kohl eyeliners are great for lining your water line for that smokey look, but this one in particular I like for the lower lash line, because of how easily it blends out. I personally never line my water line unless its with the Nude shade from this line (which makes the eyes look bigger) but to really draw attention to my eyes I like to run this on the outer third of my eye, and then blend it out with a medium, taupey brown shadow and a pencil brush. This claims to be an “ultra-smooth & creamy formula that glides on easily; waterproof, smudge-proof, sweat-proof, heat-proof, humidity-proof and scandal- proof” liner – all good things in my book!
