Sharp Eyeliner Looks Are In, and We’re Using These 16 Liquid Eyeliners To Create

I’m a firm believer that selecting and using the right liquid eyeliner can either make or completely decimate your finished makeup look. Realistically, there’s not one ‘right’ way to wear or use it, but isn’t it a good idea to understand the products you’re considering using before they make it on your skin? In the case of liquid eyeliner, there are two main factors that ultimately determine their impact: formulas and applicators. Most of the products you’ll see below feature a flexible, easy-to-control tip that distributes color evenly and smoothly onto the skin (with no uncomfortable tugging).

The best liquid eyeliners on the market will withstand the test of time and look as good a full day into wearing them as they did when first applied while (with no re-application required), yet easy to remove when the time comes. When I’m on the hunt for a liquid eyeliner, I keep any eye out for nourishing ingredients that hydrates the skin; making for a smooth finish and surface for future liquid eyeliner applications.

To make your selection process that much easier, I’ve also categorized them based on their best qualities supplemented by honest pros and cons. Ready to see which ones made the list? Read on!
