L’Oréal Paris Makeup Infallible Super Slim Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeliner
L’Oréal Paris offers a very nice long-lasting eyeliner with an ultra-fine felt tip applicator. It comes in three color options: black, brown, and grey. The brown color is reported to be very dark brown, almost black. The quick dry feature is wonderful and dries with a matte finish, not shiny.
Many people still believe that L’Oréal tests their products on animals, this is no longer true and has not been true since 1989. Yes, they once did but it has been quite some time now.
The eyeliner lasts for a good 2-3 months with regular use. The product is very small when holding which allows for a more precise application. The formula is not waterproof but does promise a no smudge all-day wear. Many people swear by this product and love it but there are just so many reviews of it almost melting off your face. The difference I have noticed is if you wear a makeup primer and matte foundation/powder, you will not have the issues listed. If you have watery eyes this is not the eyeliner for you, as it will come off throughout the day.
Many have reported the felt tip is a bit hard and harsh when applying. You must wait for this eyeliner to dry completely before you continue with your day. It will transfer to your eyelids if you don’t let it dry. Like I mentioned above, it states it has a quick dry feature, but patience is always important; The more you apply, the longer it will take to dry.
Overall, this is a good product if applied properly and if you’re fine with an eyeliner that is not waterproof.

Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eye Pen
Many drugstore liquid eyeliners are known to smudge easily. The Revlon Colourstay will not smudge and will stay on for up to 16 hours.
Revlon offers this eyeliner in only one color, blackest black. It is a very deep black color full of pigment for a solid line the first try. When your pen begins to dry out you will know because the color will not glide on as easily as initially.
Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eye Pens are offered with three different tips: Classic, Ball Point, and Triple Edge. The classic is a tapered soft felt tip good for your standard eyeliner application or the more trendy cateye. The Ball Point tip offers a ball at the tip for dots and to define a more precise design. The Triple Edge tip is used for small, medium, and thick lines. Revlon has come up with great options for all your makeup needs.
When shopping for an everyday eyeliner the classic would be your best option. It is easy to use, even with shaky hands. All of the eyeliner pen options offer the same actual eyeliner inside. It will go on and dry quickly. This eyeliner will not bleed or stick to your upper lids because it dries fast and goes on thin and smooth. You will not look like you have a ton of makeup caked on. If you have oily skin and tend to smear your eyeliner this will stay put for quite some time, it may require minimal touch up. Overall, this eyeliner is a great choice.

Milani Eye Tech Extreme Liquid Eyeliner
This product was highly recommended by one of my closest friends. The pigment on this eyeliner is rich and stays all-day long. I was only able to find this in one color on Amazon (ultra-black), but you may be able to find it at CVS or another drugstore in different colors.
One very nice feature is it is non-feathering, it will not run off into wrinkles or small lines, so not as many touch-ups needed. This product lists that it is waterproof, but based on reviews this is not the case, but it is much more durable than other non-waterproof eyeliners on the market.
The product uses an ultra-fine felt tip for application. The felt tip is a bit hard/stiff which can make it hard to get the perfect line. The all-day wear for this product is true to its advertising and will not smudge or fade.
This is an add-on item on Amazon because of the very reasonable price. This eyeliner should last between 1-2 months with regular wear. When purchasing this item I recommend buying more than one so you will always have one on hand when your current liner begins to fail. If you don’t wear makeup everyday, the eyeliner should last a minimum of 2 months. When applying it will dry in a matte, not shiny color.

Maybelline Eyestudio Master Precise All Day Liquid Eyeliner
I have to say this eyeliner and the #1 were very close in ranking. I love this eyeliner! The Maybelline Eyestudio Master Precise Eyeliner pen comes in three colors: black, brown, and blue/green. If I am not able to get the Physicians Formula eyeliner (ranked #1), this is the second-best thing to it. The only thing I would say this product lacks is longevity. This product only lasts 2 months before it starts to run out/dry-up.
The all-day wear typically does last all-day, around 12 hours is what they advertise. I do notice if I accidentally rub my eye, only a little bit, there is a lot of eyeliner on my finger. The best part about this eyeliner is how thin the application brush is, I am able to get a very thin line without much effort.
The black color is a deep black color and glides on with ease. Also, different from the #1 product is this one is waterproof. When removing this eyeliner, I highly suggest using an eye makeup remover or it can be a bit of a task to remove.
The eyeliner tube has a cushion type grip on it. This feature makes it very comfortable to hold and application a breeze. The Maybelline eyeliner does not have any benefits to help your eyelashes grow or thicken. If my mom and my sister had not introduced me to Physicians Formula, this would be ranked #1. This product is easier to find than the #1 product as Maybelline can be found everywhere.
Over the years this product continues to get better and better. I will keep my eyes open for any changes and update this as necessary.

Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum
This is the eyeliner that I recommend most. For some reason when using this eyeliner, I always feel like a professional makeup artist. Although, I used to do makeup for a living, anyone can use this product with awesome results. The liner glides on easy and when you are in a hurry you will be very thankful. The applicator is very soft on your eyelids but yet firm enough to get a great line every time.
It comes in three colors: black, brown, and ultra-black. The black color is more of a grey/charcoal color, so if you want a deep black definitely go with the ultra-black option. I recommend replacing this every 3 months depending on how often you use. I don’t wear makeup everyday so this tends to last me a bit longer than it may last someone who uses it daily. You will know when it is time to replace because it will start to dry out and will not glide on smoothly. If you are like me and don’t wear makeup everyday, this eyeliner will last you a long time. This eyeliner is not waterproof, but it does dry well and will hold up for an all-day wear.
If you like to do wings on the edges of your eyes, this eyeliner has a very fine tip which makes the wing effect easy to accomplish. This is not just a typical eyeliner either, it includes a formula that helps your eyelashes grow! Who doesn’t want longer, healthier eyelashes? I do! I really do love the #2 Maybelline but this wins because of the lash growing formula that Maybelline doesn’t offer. My lashes have become much fuller and longer since I began using this eyeliner.
I have used many different liquid eyeliners in my day and once I found Physicians Formula, I fell in love. My mom and sister both use this product. This a must have!
