Editors' Pick Winner: Giorgio Armani Eye Tint

Honorable Mention: Wander Beauty Exquisite Eye Liquid Shadow

Why: This is a creamy-gel texture, which is easy to work with. The color is true and really stays put -- it stayed in place a good 18 hours before I removed my makeup. There was no creasing or caking whatsoever.

Editors' Pick Winner: Stila Got Inked Cushion Eye Liner
Why: You'll never go back to your basic liquid liner after this. Dip your brush (or Stila's La Quill Precision Eye Liner Brush) onto the cushion-sponge to saturate it with bold color, then apply. The lightweight, smudge-proof formula makes it easy to create a variety of looks.
Honorable Mention: NYX Vivid Brights Liner
Readers' Choice Winner: Maybelline New York Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner
Why: I keep coming back to this eyeliner for many reasons: The color payoff is awesome, it's very long-lasting and it doesn't smudge.
