Revlon Bedroom Eyes Powder Liner, $9.95

TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 3.5*
Grand Offense: Messy packaging. "I really dislike this container/application bottle. You pull out the wand and the stuff goes everywhere ... then the wand has a really blunt foam applicator that creates serious fall-out upon application. The actual kohl powder is really lovely. I just wish it wasn't in this type of bottle." -- venus_nouveau, TotalBeauty.com member

Surprised to see Stila kajal here, I find it really nice, great for smudging. Gorgeous intense color too- can't find that depth in any other liner!

I use Stilla, it rocks!

I agree with some of these. JANE IS TERRIBLE!

Some of these are too expensive for them not to work.

by nicky22 Thursday, November 1, 2012 at 03:45PM Report as inappropriate

I usually love Guerlain products.

by robyne00 Thursday, November 1, 2012 at 03:31PM Report as inappropriate

The Rimmel Special Eyes and the Physician's Formula felt tip liner. Oh my god they both suck so much that I wonder if anyone tested them before they put them out on the shelf.

by GingerDrink Friday, August 24, 2012 at 11:54PM Report as inappropriate

You forgot the Physician's Formula felt tip one. It's awful.

by GingerDrink Thursday, July 26, 2012 at 03:56PM Report as inappropriate

I'm glad I don't use any of those eyeliners!!!

Your a 100% right on all of these BRAVO!

Skipping on theses eyeliners, thanks for sharing!

by MissXu Sunday, April 15, 2012 at 02:43PM Report as inappropriate

I read in Allure to see if the liner was made in Germany because that is where the best ones are made. Both Giorgio Armani and Covergirl produce theirs there.

by beautybody Wednesday, March 28, 2012 at 09:33PM Report as inappropriate

I can't believe SmashBox was not in this lineup-It's JetSet waterproof eyeliner in a tiny pot is outrageous ad what about Nars eye pencils-fabulous application and wonderful colors. Oh Well!!!

It's always good to know what not to buy, not that I would ever spend $32 on eyeliner anyway...

by mrselliott08 Saturday, March 17, 2012 at 06:31PM Report as inappropriate

I'm surprised so many high end products are on this list. I guess it just goes to show that price does not equal quality.

by TheLacqueredLady Monday, February 20, 2012 at 02:03PM Report as inappropriate

glad i didn't purchase any of these and good thing i read this first

by ruby_chang Friday, February 10, 2012 at 09:46PM Report as inappropriate

Not a fan of felt tip liners either , they dry up too quick

by hayleyxonewjersey Friday, February 10, 2012 at 07:20AM Report as inappropriate

I HATE hate hate felt tip "marker" liners!!!

by volta Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 01:03AM Report as inappropriate

Awh shucks :( i was just about to buy that stila eyeliner too. I would have thought stila and cargo would be the best. Guess not. So glad i read this before buying!

Thanks! I've never tried any of these, and now won't ;)

thank you...good advice for me :)

by janellelora Monday, September 19, 2011 at 09:08PM Report as inappropriate

Best ever and inexpensive liners are Almay waterproof and Avon Glimmersticks Waterproof. I found the best are water proof as opposed to long lasting, they don't run, smudge or just disapper. You near to wash them off!

by oohlokitzmee Saturday, September 3, 2011 at 09:00PM Report as inappropriate

Best eyeliner I have tried has been Wet n Wild. I know cheap, but it stays on and lasts.

by Only1KimmieD Monday, June 27, 2011 at 12:34PM Report as inappropriate

I actually like the Stila liner

by awan0912 Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 11:19PM Report as inappropriate

I wish I could have read this article before I tried a bunch of those, lol.

by MissPurple Wednesday, June 1, 2011 at 10:23AM Report as inappropriate

I almost got 2 of these! Thank god I read this article before I messed up!

by sarahsuperstar Tuesday, May 17, 2011 at 07:25AM Report as inappropriate

I've tried Stila and Revlon's liners, and they do suck. I actually thought LORAC's and CARGO's were decent though.

now i know wnat to watch out. :D

by yckitsmary Friday, April 8, 2011 at 06:35PM Report as inappropriate

i hate when you buy a bad product

by brendag20127 Monday, March 21, 2011 at 04:29PM Report as inappropriate

lola eyeliner is bad!

by judyangel101 Saturday, March 19, 2011 at 06:27PM Report as inappropriate

Awesome list! I haven't personally tried any of these, but if they ever discontinue or I get tired of the Covergirl Perfect Point eyeliner, then I'll definitely refer to list for what not to waste my money on.

by starrkissed Tuesday, March 8, 2011 at 10:43AM Report as inappropriate

ugh I used Jane and it really was awful, but I have to say for the price you can't really complain... but for something as expensive as Stila you would expect more for your money

by Bon_Bon Wednesday, February 16, 2011 at 11:41PM Report as inappropriate

i like pencil

by LittleBunny Monday, February 14, 2011 at 11:58AM Report as inappropriate

i dont like liquid

by judyangel101 Friday, February 11, 2011 at 02:12PM Report as inappropriate

Looks like a ton of liquids are on here. Thank god I use pencils.

by kayla_d_moore Thursday, February 10, 2011 at 05:36AM Report as inappropriate

i am surprised stila's liner is on here! i have heard only good things about it!

by kenya Tuesday, December 21, 2010 at 11:43AM Report as inappropriate

I hate pretty much any liner that comes in a pencil. Liquid applies like a dream!
