Best Drugstore Eyeliner

Best Drugstore Eyeliner

No I'm not dead. I was just really busy.



Wet n Wild Mega Eyes Creme Liner




A great dupe for M.A.C.'s Fluidline, this gel liner is dirt cheap and works like a charm! Amazingly easy to apply, nice bold colour and extremely long staying power (maybe too long haha). This liner is smudge proof, long lasting and dries quickly! Downside is that the packaging is cheap and the brush that comes with it is quite useless. Better to use your own. (:


L'Oreal Line Intensifique Extreme Wear Liquid Liner

Liquid eyeliners are always tricky to use. But this gem, with a sponge tip applicator, makes applying a breeze! The pointed tip gives you control and you can apply a precise line with thickness to your preference. And the colour stays put all day long! Easy to wash on and off.


N.Y.C. Waterproof Liner Pencil

This liner goes on creamy and is quite pigmented so it lasts a long time. Smooth application and very inexpensive (one of the cheapest in the drugstore)! I do remember this smudging on me slightly after a long day at school (12+ hours). Nothing a Q-Tip can't fix!


L'Oreal H.I.P. Cream Eyeliner

Just like their H.I.P. eyeshadows, L'Oreal's eyeliners have a bold colour, are easy to apply and last forever. A little goes a long way (the one in Black is really intense) but the colours can be built up. The brush that comes with the liner is too harsh and stiff to apply a decent line. Use your own!


Tip: To make your gel/creme liners last longer, store upside down to prevent drying out. If it does happen, mix with a little baby oil or gelatin.
