Best Eye Liners of 2025

"I swear by this eyeliner! After trying many high-end options from Sephora and even Korean brands, I always return to this NYX liner. It applies easily, doesn't smudge, and is perfect for my oily eyelids. Lasts all day without budging!"

"I was really impressed with the NYX eyeliner! The pigmentation is fantastic and it lasts all day without smudging. It's smooth to apply, making it easy to achieve both subtle and dramatic looks. Plus, it's affordable without sacrificing quality!"

"This eyeliner has quickly become my go-to product! The quality is impressive for the price, and it applies smoothly without smudging. I love that it's vegan and comes in various shades. I’ll definitely keep buying it as long as it stays this good!"

"I absolutely love this product! It goes on smoothly and lasts all day or night."

"I've experimented with numerous eyeliners, but the e.l.f. No Budge Retractable Eyeliner is a true game-changer. The intense color glides on effortlessly and dries quickly to a smudge-proof, waterproof finish. It stays in place all day, even in sweat and humidity. This has definitely become a staple in my makeup routine!"

"I applied this eyeliner to fill in my eyebrows, and I must say, the perfect color lasts at least until the next day. I used to fill in my brows daily, but with this product, I only need minor touch-ups. It's a game-changer for me! I even plan to buy one for my mom."

"I'm absolutely in love with the NYX Professional Makeup Vivid Rich Mechanical Eye Pencil! The color payoff is intense and the formula is creamy and glides on smoothly. It’s incredibly easy to apply and doesn’t tug on my delicate eye area. The long-wearing formula stays put all day without smudging or fading. This is my new go-to for creating bold, dramatic eye looks."

"I wasn't too impressed with this eye pencil. The brown color is beautiful, but it doesn’t go on as smoothly as I expected, and there’s no smudger for blending. It requires a bit more effort to apply than I thought, so I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re in a rush. However, the price is a definite plus, making it a decent option if you have the time."

"I have purchased these eyeliner pencils over eight times due to their great quality and reasonable price. However, my recent purchase of two black pencils was disappointing. The first was dry and difficult to apply, with the lead broken inside the tube. A piece would fall out while using it, leaving stains. The second pencil had the same issues. I’m not sure if these were old stock, but I’m very disappointed and hesitant to buy again."

“I absolutely love this eyeliner pencil! It’s creamy and glides on smoothly. I get bold color with just one swipe, and it stays in place all day without smudging or fading, even on my waterline. It’s now a staple in my makeup routine, and I’ll definitely be repurchasing. Highly recommend!”

“I ordered this in Black Violet, and it’s perfect with my brown eyes. This Revlon eyeliner applies smoothly and doesn’t budge all day. I love that it comes with an attached sharpener too!”

“This is the best drugstore eyeliner! It stays on all day with good pigmentation and is easy to blend. The true black color remains vivid and doesn’t fade to grey. I’ve bought this many times!”

"I adore these color gel eyeliner pencils. They go on smoothly and last all day. The color selection is fantastic!"

"These gel eyeliners are incredible! The colors are beautiful, and the formula is very creamy. I've used all of them and love each one."

"I was disappointed as the purple eyeliner broke when I applied it lightly. However, I found other colors didn't break, though I noticed some cracks."

"This has been my favorite eyeliner for years! The color is vibrant and the quality is amazing. It glides on smoothly and stays put for hours. I even have it in multiple shades!"

"I absolutely love this eyeliner pencil! The olive color enhances my brown eyes beautifully, and it’s waterproof too. It’s so easy to use, and I often get compliments on it!"

"I was surprised by this product! I ordered it for my daughter's ballet performance, and it turned out to be wonderful. It stayed intact for hours and has a solid, bright color. Highly recommended!"

"I'm a long-time eyeliner user, and after trying many brands, I've come back to Wet n Wild. I can't believe how this inexpensive liner has become my #1 favorite! It gives me a dramatic bold eye without irritating my sensitive eyes. It's easy to apply and has the best staying power I've ever experienced, even at the water park. I’ve stocked up just in case it gets discontinued because it’s truly awesome!"

"As someone who has used many high-end products, I find Wet n Wild to be an excellent choice. It's easy to use, fits perfectly in my purse, and holds up well even when my eyes water. The quality is consistent, and it’s a reliable option that doesn’t break the bank."

"I absolutely love the Wet n Wild Mega Last Retractable Eyeliner! The ultra-fine tip makes it so easy to apply, and the color is rich and bold. I’m impressed with its long-lasting performance; it stays put for up to 16 hours without smudging, plus it’s cruelty-free and affordable compared to others."

"I love this eyeliner SO MUCH! It has the perfect width for the tip, offers an absolutely BEAUTIFUL application, and is super pigmented. It's smudge-proof, waterproof, and has exceeded my expectations by far for the price."

"I've used this eyeliner a few times, and while it's decent, it does dry out pretty quickly. I find myself needing to shake it and tip it upside down every few strokes. However, when it flows well, it's easy to use and has a small, fine tip. It stays put well, even through tears and sweat, and comes off easily with no eye irritation."

"This eyeliner really tops the cake! The brush makes application a breeze, providing a smooth line that is easy to control. The formula is decently wet, dries down, and stays all day. I've bought over 10 of these for everyday use and will continue to do so as long as they're available."

"I was recommended to buy this eyeliner. The application is smooth and effortless, delivering a bold, long-lasting color that doesn't smudge throughout the day. I love that it's gentle on my sensitive eyes, and the rich black shade complements my makeup perfectly. It's also affordable, offering great quality without breaking the bank. Overall, this eyeliner is a must-have for anyone looking for a reliable, budget-friendly option for everyday eye makeup. Highly recommend!"

"I absolutely love this eyeliner! I prefer liquid over pencil because it glides on so smoothly and the pigment is awesome. I’ve been using this in black and wanted to try the Pitch Brown for a softer look. Water resistant and stays on all day, as long as I don’t rub my eyes. One pen can last me over a month with daily use. Just be careful not to leave the cap off for too long, or it will dry out easily. This is my go-to eyeliner!"

"I've been trying different brands out for the last 10 years, and I’ve never been completely satisfied until I found this eyeliner. The quality is great, and it lasts all day and night as long as I'm not rubbing my eyes too much. Once it dries, it's smudge-proof and waterproof for sure. It's very easy to use!"

"I've been using this eyeliner for over 20 years and it's simply the best. It applies smoothly, allowing me to choose between a heavy or light look. As long as I don't touch it, it lasts 8+ hours. Plus, it doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes!"

"I discovered this eyeliner while in the U.S. and I was pleasantly surprised. It glides on effortlessly, has a rich pigment, and lasts a long time. I was thrilled to find it on Amazon UK, even though it's a bit pricier here. It's definitely worth it!"

"This eyeliner is a must-have for me! It lasts ages and is perfectly soft for my waterline. The solid black color remains bold, even when smudged. Plus, there's a hidden sharpener in the base, offering great value for money!"
