Estee Lauder Artist's Eye Pencil

Estee Lauder Artist's Eye Pencil is an easy-to-use, soft pencil with strong, matte color in eight shades. It's great for those who are new to eyeliner. It doesn't exactly glide on like butter, but after a few passes you'll have a dramatic line that can be softened with the attached smudger (or a fingertip). The pencil's thi...More

Hard Candy Glitter Eye Pencils

Hard Candy Glitter Eye Pencils

If I want to get a late-night snack with friends but don't want to put on makeup, I line my eyes with this firm, mild-hued sparkler and smudge. Everyone's attention is diverted to my twinkling gaze (I think). The slim pencil's holographic exterior is very teen, but attention-grabbing glitter is fine enough for adult sophist...More

L'Oreal Paris HiP Color Truth Cream Eyeliner

L'Oreal Paris HiP Color Truth Cream Eyeliner

Fans of Stila Smudge Pots may be impressed by this rich, creamy liner and professional-quality brush set. Colors are diverse, super-rich and long-lasting. The unattached, angled brush is easy to lose, but worth safeguarding. Potential poo-poo factors involve dryness: Dry liner will render brush bristles useless (wipe off br...More

MAC Technakohl Liner

MAC Technakohl Liner

This mechanical eye pencil glides on easily, and the ultra thin tip makes creating fine or thick lines easy -- it's also perfect for lining inner rims. The 15 colors are highly pigmented, so if standout eyes are your goal, you'll reach it with this. A complaint? If you have oily lids the stuff transfers slightly onto crease...More

Tarte Indelible Wink

Tarte Indelible Wink

Liquid liner on one end, a shadow-loaded smudge sponge on the other. Neat in concept, but the hard, teardrop tip is difficult to line with smoothly. Retrace your dry line with shadow for smokiness; however, the tip removed chunks of my "indelible," "budgeproof" line. (I filled in gaps with the liner.) If...More

Stila Kajal Eye Liner

Stila Kajal Eye Liner

This eye pencil has rich color and a suede-like texture -- perfect, as claimed, for creating smoky eyes. Shades like Tigers Eye and Amethyst are too great to pass on. The soft formula has enough waxiness so it doesn't fade, but (and it's a big one) the silver lettering on the packaging flakes off, sticking like barnacles to...More

Smashbox Cream Eye Liner

Smashbox Cream Eye Liner

Cream liners are much easier to apply than liquids and offer the same dramatic results, but finding one that has the staying power of a liquid is challenging. This "putty" definitely lasts, but if your skin is oily, throughout the day you'll be mopping up product from your lids where the cream has transferred. Yes...More

Clinique Kohl Shaper For Eyes

Clinique Kohl Shaper For Eyes

Certain aspects of this liner are great -- the creamy, rich colors glide on smoothly; the ergonomic shape makes the pencil easy to hold; and there's a sharpener built into the cap (love!). But more importantly, it's among the worst performing liners we've tested in terms of running and smudging. When it isn't set with powde...More

Maybelline New York Define-A-Line Eye Liner

Maybelline New York Define-A-Line Eye Liner

This skinny plastic wand maximizes space with a liner on one end and a smudge brush on the other. The pencil twists up as needed, and creates a smooth line from inner to outer lids. The packaging isn't as sturdy -- it feels cheapie -- and only comes in half the shades of department store equivalent Clinique Quickliner. Flip...More

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Transforming Potion

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Transforming Potion

Looking to turn favorite eye shadows into liquid liner? Keep looking. Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Transforming Potion is a brilliant concept -- a clear liquid liner base without pigment, packaged with two brushes for thick or thin lines -- but it's flawed in delivery. Its brushes cannot retain enough pigment to draw a solid lin...More
