Are there any eyeliners that won't smudge??? - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

I've tried so many eyeliners out there. They all smudge and leak. Are there any smudge proof eyeliners that will stay in place without me worrying about having racoon eyes?

I can't wear any eyeliner cause I have problems getting it on and not looking like I have black eyes, the best thing for me do is I have a really thin eyeliner brush, Got mine at Avon! And what I do is, I wet the brush and dip it in black eye shadow and just kind of dot it along my upper and lower lash lines and just make a thin line across, for me it is the easist way and it lasts all day, I have had mine on since like 3 something today and it is 12am and it still looks just like it did when I got ready, Hope this helps!

Well, liquid liners don't usually smudge, but they do get crusty and peel off after a while. It depends on the kind you get, I suppose. I've only tried two different Maybelline ones... one is a gray bottle that comes with a tiny brush applicator, and the other is a small black bottle with a hard, pointy applicator. The one in the gray bottle tends to crust over and peels at the end of the day... which is really gross... but at least it doesn't smudge.
The black bottle one doesn't crust over or smudge. So I guess that's probably the better one.

Give liquid liners a try... you might like them.

Pump Up Semi Permanent Eyeliner and Lipliner. It's a pen. Stays where it's put, simple to apply and doesn't smudge AT ALL. Comes off with face cleanser. Couldn't ask for more. Not too expensive either.

Wow sounds great! I'd really like to try that one out. Does it look like how liquid liner comes out when you use the pen?

I was also going to suggest a liquid liner since those usually stay on pretty long. I have also tried Maybelline and mine didn't crust off, but it tended to come off on the innner corners a little bit, but the rest stayed on. I think this was from me touching my eyes! I use Kohl pencils usually but I have to use a shimmery loose eyeshadow with mica in it and it helps it stay on better and not smudge. On the bottom I put the liner on my inner rims to prevent smudging under the lashes. It really helps a lot! The Kohl pencils smudge easier than most kinds so you have to be very careful.. I just like them since they are so soft!

The eyeshadow trick works pretty well.. you can even put it on with a brush OVER your liner, but I haven't got this to work for the bottom of my eyes. Anytime I get eyeshdadow near there, it just makes a mess!
