BEST black eyeliner to use for your waterline!

Hi beauty gurus! I need help finding a good eyeliner for my waterline. I'm open to either pencils and eyeliner gel pots. Everything I've tried using does not last a whole 8 hours and it gets really frustrating when I want to tight-line my eyes for a smokier look. Thanks a bunch!

I like them Marc Jacobs one

I always use a crayon liner from the drug store! For me, crayon liner goes on best on the waterline. Itโ€™s all about the consistency of the pencil I feel like.

@TienxVIB I use the MAC eyepencil in Ebony on my waterline and doesnโ€™t irritate my eyes at all, Love it !

I use an Illamasqua pencil on my waterline and love it!

Re: BEST black eyeliner to use for your waterline!

Bumping an old thread - in need of a new black for the waterline - has anyone tried the PMG gel liner for the waterline in black? 

 

I use to wear the MJ one, but the black would get dried out if i stopped wearing it for a while. And then when you tried to go back over the line it would remove itself. Has this issue been fixed when he reformulated? i feel like mine is before this issue

I read thru the posts to see if anyone recommended this already and no one has. this is a trick. (shh don't tell no one ) buy a sephora kohl pencil. it's very very dry. it'll absorb all the water on your water line for a very dry application. (if there's any water on your waterline, the waterproof eyeliner will have a hard time applying or staying on becauseit is meant to repel water.) once you apply the kohl eyeliner put on any waterproof eyeliner on top (my sister loves the Marc Jacobs gel liner). try it one day and see how much longer it lasts.

Marc Jacobs gel liner is by FAR the best for water lines! That lasts for hours!

Re: BEST black eyeliner to use for your waterline!

Urban Decay waterproof eyeliner. Ever since I've used that eyeliner I've never bothered going back or using any other brand. It lasts throughout my day and I'm a Cook that works in a hot and sweaty environment and I never worry about my eyeliner fading or smudging.

Hi!! Have you tried maybe dipping your pencil in a gel? Itโ€™s a little trick I use when putting black eyeliner in my waterline. I usually use the Urban Decay pencil and lightly dip it in my inglot gel liner! Lmk if it helps!

@TienxVIB

It might help if you list out what you've tried so that folks don't keep recommending something that doesn't work for you. I find liners that will actually stay in the waterline to be be highly personal, and what works for someone else may not work for you. 

 

After trying numerous liners in my waterline (UD 24/7, MJ Highliner, Laura Geller both inkcredible and iCare, MAC Modern Twist, Fiona Stiles, Lipstick Queen, Colourpop, Julep, Sephora, Ulta, and all the way down to drugstore liners... whew...), nothing worked more than a couple hours on me. The Marc Jacobs that everyone else seems to love was the most abysmal...I got about 30 minutes out of it. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

 

I get decent results from Tarte clay pot liners...4-6 hours max before obvious crumbling.

 

But the hands down best thing I've ever tried is Inglot Duraline mixed with any powder eyeshadow. Dip your brush in the duraline, then work it over your shadow to mix up a paste on the brush. I can dependably get 6+ hours with no loss of liner; after that, I'll start losing a bit starting from the inner and/or outer corners, but even after 8+ hours I'll typically still have 90% of my waterline intact.

 

I also prep my waterline immediately before applying liner; I lightly wipe it down with a qtip dipped in toner, then go back over it with the other end to dry it off.

 

It takes a little practice, and it's nowhere near as quick as a pencil, but it's the only thing that works for me, and the results are worth it!

Re: BEST black eyeliner to use for your waterline!

Yeah I've tried all sorts of brands from high end (Giorgio Armani, Yves Saint Laurent) so to even drugstore or MAC gel liner. I'm not sure if it's just my eyes that gets watery and everything washes off (in that case looks like I'm out of luck!). I might give the Marc Jacob's and your suggestion the Inglot Duraline I try! Hopefully it lasts longer than 30 minutes! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Thanks for your help!

RE: BEST black eyeliner to use for your waterline!

Marc Jacobs gel liner. I use black but I mostly love them for the amazing shade range. I love using bright colors on my lower waterline. As far as black...the Sephora waterproof retractable liner is an amazing dupe for the Marc Jacobs. They have very similar formulas and both last alllll day. I wish Sephora had a larger color selection. I would definitely switch over completely if they did!

Re: BEST black eyeliner to use for your waterline!

I love the Marc Jacobs gel liner hands down! Pricey but worth it!
