10 Worst Eyeliners
Even the cheapest of these smudging, bleeding, pain-inducing eyeliners (one costs a mere $1) aren't worth the money
We constantly hear women talk about how much they love mascara. "My mascara this," "My mascara that" they rave. They go on and on about how crucial it is to their eye makeup routine and how well it works to make their eyes "pop."
And while mascara is awesome and can do wonders, we think that when it comes to adding drama to the eyes, it's all about the eyeliner.
In fact, a good eyeliner might be the most important eye makeup tool ever invented. When you have a good one, it can kick any mascara's butt on any day of the week. That's right, we said it. But before all you mascara-obsessed cronies bust out the pitch forks and hang scarlet letters around our necks, hear us out.
Yes, mascara will open your eyes and enhance your lashes. But for women with ho-hum lashes and small eyes (a complaint of oh-so-many), it's eyeliner that has the unique ability to add intense drama to the eyes. Heck, it's the eye-enhancing jack of all trades -- a great multi-tasker, effective eye brightener, and eyeshadow substitute.
Skip ahead to see the worst eyeliners now.
Now, it's important to keep in mind that we are raving about the stellar eyeliners of the world, not the ones that bleed, run, last for two minutes, or have zero pigmentation. We are in no way advocating the use of sucky eyeliners, which unfortunately can sneak their way into your makeup bag if you aren't careful.
So in an effort to have you fall deeper in love with good eyeliners, and steer clear of the bad ones that have failed women numerous times over, we've rounded up a list of the 10 worst eyeliners ever. Read 'em. Know 'em. Never buy 'em.
