1. Docolor Liquid Eyeliner has a gentle, soft tip so the lids of your eyes won't get irritated whenever you apply those really crisp lines.
Promising review: "Literally the greatest freakin eyeliner I've owned! I have tried every high-end name brand liquid liner you can think of, and there was something wrong with each one. This formula is perfect. Not a single complaint, and it lasts ALL day!" —Jenan A Matari
2. Koji Dolly Wink Liquid Liner can give you a precise and solid line with its fine-tip design.
Promising review: "This is my first time purchasing Koji Dolly Wink makeup and this type of liquid liner. After several months of using this eyeliner I have to say it is fantastic; it has become one of my favorite staples. The brush tip is very fine and precise. It allows for a easy and smooth application of thin to thick lines, does not smudge, dries quickly, and is slightly matte. It is also great for creating sharp lines for that perfect cat eye. It tends to last all day, is more resilient than other liners, and can also be removed with ease. The pigmentation of the eyeliner is a true deep black color. This has become my go-to liner." —WilmaHi
3. TheBalm Schwing Liquid Eyeliner is equipped with a rich, matte finish to go with your matte foundation and lipstick.
Promising review: "Love, love, love! Best eyeliner in the history of eyeliners. The Balm did such as amazing job. The short applicator is awesome as it gives you better control! If you are just learning to apply liquid liner, the tip of this is amazing, and the handle is super amazing." —Amazon Customer
4. L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Smoldering Eyeliner is sharp and delicate enough to safely tightline, and it comes with a sharpener just in case it ever gets dull!
Promising review: "Goes on soft and easy. It can be used as heavy or as light as you like. I have used this for years and never had a problem with irritation. It glides on easily, so there's no tugging on delicate skin around the eyes. The fatter crayon is easier to hold and maneuver." —Wildwood Rose
5. Italia Eyeliners come in tons of really edgy and metallic colors to offset any bold eyeshadow look you can imagine.
Promising review: " I LOVE the white eyeliner it works amazing. I use several of the other colors to line my lower lid without any allergy or 'crying' issues. They also work fabulously for face painting (I do a lot of bright Davis Bowie things to my face). They work as lip liners too, which is awesome." —Vanessa I. Gonzalez
6. Shany Cosmetics Masquerade Gel Eyeliner can last at least 12 hours without smudging or dimming in color.
Promising review: "I am highly allergic to most items, but I tried this and I love it. The pigment is smooth, lasts all day, and has vibrant color. It is easy to apply, and it even comes with two nice application brushes." —Tiara Brown
7. Stila All Day Waterproof Liquid Liner won't run whenever your eyes water from allergies, and it applies smoothly without leaving gaps for one continuous, glorious line!
Promising review: "I've been using this product for over a year now and I love it. It does not smudge, run, or irritate my eyes. I wash it off with warm water and soap easily. The tip is firm, and I never have a problem drawing a straight line." —kamoshka
8. Maybelline New York Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner packs a special ink technology to keep its product super-saturated and pigmented.
Promising review: "I don't have a ton of experience putting on liquid eyeliner, so I love this! It's a pointed felt tip pen and it's easy to just lay against your lash line and draw outward. It's really great if you're a novice or an expert." —CS Nottingham
9. Maybelline New York Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner is made with an oil-free formula for anyone with acne-prone skin.
10. Cevali Waterproof Precision Liquid Eyeliner Pen won't flake or feather after hours of wear!
Promising review: "The Célavi eyeliner pen is easy and precise like a fine-tip Sharpie or felt-tip marker. It stays on all day until I take it off; no streaking or areas that flake or smudge. It comes off easily with any makeup remover, coconut oil, or even just soap." —Speechville
11. Milani Eye Tech Perfection Liquid Eyeliner is shaped in a curve so you won't have to worry about having steady hands.
Promising review: "This is my favorite eyeliner I've used. It lasts a good while before being too dry to continue, and the curved handle is very nice to hold. The liner itself is lovely, thick, and dark, and looks stunning with small winged tips. It suits my odd-shaped eyes beautifully. " —minxchester
12. E.l.f. Cosmetics Cream Eyeliner comes with a slanted eyeliner brush to help you obtain a wicked cat-eye.
Promising review: "This cream eyeliner is a lot better that liquid ones because you can draw the line over the eyelid 10 times easier. The consistency is perfect, and it comes with the right brush so you won't have to make a mess using a wrong one." —Amazon Customer
13. L'Oréal Paris Infallible Super Slim Eyeliner has an ultra-fine felt tip for a thin and well-defined line. It's also great for sensitive eyes!
14. Covergirl Perfect Point Eyeliner Pencil includes a smudger tip to blend color for a really simple smokey eye.
Promising review: "My favorite eyeliner! I have tried many other brands, but this is the one I keep coming back to. It goes on smoothly, evenly, and stays for many hours. The black onyx is vibrant and bold, and can be used to do unique lines, as the tip is quite thin. I put on one coat and I am ready for the day! This is also safe for your under-eye too if that is your preference!" —DRA
15. Physicians Formula Eye Boosting Eyeliner is dermatologist approved, which means all the contact-wearing babes don't have to worry about choosing between looking fly and possibly going blind.
Promising review: "This is probably one of my favorite eyeliners of all time. The 'pencil' style provides more application control and precision, and the liquid liner goes on and stays on. You can also control the amount of product on the tip by shaking it." —Princess Kitten
16. Mexi Makeup Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner has a flexible tip that is firm enough to apply the right amount of product, but soft enough so you won't accidentally stab yourself in the eye.
Promising review: "The felt tip makes it super easy to apply and if you're a person who can never make winged eyeliner (like me) this is a great way to do it!" —Amazon Customer
17. Prestige Liquid Eyeliner can be sued on both your upper and lower lash lines, and is surprisingly gluten-free!
18. NYX Cosmetics Gel Eyeliner easily blends into your eyelids to achieve the bold-ass club look of your dreams.
Promising review: "This is the best gel eyeliner I've ever used. It goes on smoothly and has a dark rich color. Most other kinds I've used clump up some, but this swipes across easily leaving a perfect smooth line." —KiwiCatLady
19. L'Oréal Paris Infallible Lacquer Eyeliner can literally last all fucking day, which is super convenient for those long days that turn into really fun, but even longer nights.
Promising review: "This is the best eyeliner I've found so far, and I've been trying out different eyeliners since I was 14. It's nice and creamy so it doesn't dry or harden quickly like some other brands do. The espresso color is lovely and bold while being a little more natural-looking than black. You only need to use a tiny bit at a time, so the container lasts ages." —Sydney
