No. 16: Revlon ColorStay Liquid Liner, $5

TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 8*
Why: Readers call this the "liner with ease," a "staple in my makeup diet" and "great for first time liquid liner users." One reader says, "this liner in Blackest Black is my hands-down, all-time favorite. It's super black, goes on very easily with the felt tip, dries quickly, never smudges/transfers/slides, and is affordable! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a budge-proof, easy liquid eyeliner." Another says she finally found a "liquid eyeliner that is not a headache to apply! Why? Well, normally you get a super-skinny mini 'paintbrush' type thing to try and 'paint' a line under your eyes. Yikes. But this one is more like an unusually thin marker -- SO much easier." And one devoted user says, "I have used this eyeliner for approximately one year and love the way it goes on, very smooth and dries fairly quick."

When I read this originally I thought I would purchase a Revlon Colourstay Liquid Liner because I am a drugstore, cheapie makeup addict. I thought it was only 5$ but was dismayed to find that here it is actually 12$! The prices on this list seem to be not accurate at all. But theyre is some items that I will look into!

Great article. I'm glad the Avon Ultra Luxury Liner got some good recognition. It is a great eyeliner and with the sales, I always stock up.

No list of cheap liners is complete without Wet n Wild Mega Eyes defining marker. Super easy to use felt tip applicator draws a line of any width easily and lasts all day. I give it a 10.

This is a great article... I am not a fan of about half of these but for the price point it works! I would like to mention that people should really check their local Dollar Tree Stores for some awesome beauty steals!

I'm not as huge of a fan of the Almay one, I own it in a nice dark brown shade, but it dries out so fast and causes me to rub my eye a little too hard. My friend is obsessed with it, and uses it to give her horrible-looking raccoon eyes all the time. I'll pass. I LOVE Bonnebell liner in Basic Black, which is two dollars and some change at Walmart, it has good color payoff, and is creamy enough to apply without all of the extra effort and eye-related agony. Also, NYC's black Kohl eyeliner pencil does a pretty good job at a cheap price.

I bought a few of Sephora's jumbo pencils last year when they were on sale. They are fun and come in great colors too.

Why aren't the Milani Liquify pencils in here?!?!? And NYX Slide ons? This article shows some products that are awful and doesn't include the ones everybody is raving about. Not helpful.

This is my motivation for trying liquid liner!
