One thing that we hate most is runny and smeared makeup after a night out.

When choosing an eyeliner, we love one that creates crisp and clean lines AND is long-lasting. We want to look great throughout the evening.

Below are our picks for the best liquid eyeliner brands currently on the market.

Best Eyeliner Brands Roundup

#1 Sephora Colorful Wink-It Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner ($14)

Intense Ink 12HR Classic Felt Eye Liner is waterproof and comes in lots of bright colors. It’s also super affordable and comes highly recommended by makeup artists.

#2 NYX Matte Liquid Liner ($7.50)

NYX eyeliners are very affordable and are a blogger’s favorite.

We highly recommend their Vivid Matte Liquid Liner ($10) and Epic Ink Liner ($10).

#3 Stila Stay All Day Liner ($24)

Stila’s Stay All Day liner is waterproof and glides on smoothly. It’s no surprise this is a top seller and comes in different shades.

They also offer Stay All Day Inkwear Liquid Eye Liner, which is guaranteed to last 24 HR.

Shop Stila’s Stay All Day Liner directly on Stila, Sephora, Nordstrom, Amazon, and Ulta.

#4 Kaja Beauty Wink Stamp Cat Eye Eyeliner Duo

Wink Stamp Eyeliner Set

Kaja Beauty is a Korean beauty brand and we love their Wink Stamp set. It comes with an eye liner pen and pen with a regular and long cat eye stamp. It makes creating cat eye super easy and fast! The formula is also long-lasting yet easy to remove.

#5 Pat McGrath Labs Perma Precision Liquid Eyeliner ($32)

Pat McGrath’s Perma Precision Liquid Eyeliner is pricey but it works to create clean cat eye looks.

#6 Tarte tartelette™ tubing liquid eyeliner ($24)

I LOVE Tarte’s liquid eyeliner. It’s smudge-free and lasts until you add warm water. It immediately peels off. Goes great with Tarte’s tartelette™ tubing mascara.
