Best Black Liquid Eyeliner

Okay, what is the BEST black liquid eyeliner to use, high end or drugstore? I'm a relative beginner when it comes to doing a winged look so I want something that is easy to use, a dark matte black and does not bleed whatsoever. I would love it if I could just do one swoop and the payoff is great without me having to go back in and finesse it.

Drugstore: NYX Matte Liquid Liner is my absolute favourite! Such a thin tip, easy to control and use, and super dark and black. High end: Kat Von D’s new Liner X, it’s amazing! All that I mentioned in the NYX, but just a tad thinner tip, and the staying power is unreal!

I really like Fenty's Flyliner (https://www.sephora.com/product/flyliner-longwear-liquid-eyeliner-P17876556) for this reason.  It can be a bit of a pain at times (like sometimes I get a touch in my lashes and then...BOOM...it's all under my eye), but most of the time, I can apply it without having to go back in rework it.  Also, it stays black!   Another liner I love, that my friend got me from Japan (Kiss Me Heroine Waterproof Eyeliner, you can get it on Amazon), goes on easy due to the brush tip, but it kinda fades/greys out during the day.  My other favorite liner is Eyeko skinny liner  (https://www.eyeko.com/skinny-liquid-eyeliner/11318082.html).  I usually carry that one in my makeup bag if I need to touch up my wing, or if I want to spruce up my look.

 

Out of all three, the Fenty liner doesn't dry out as quickly, and you can tightline with it too (just do it carefully).  Also, it goes on really wet, so definitely let it dry down before doing any other lid work.

@EmaGrace NYX does a good one for drug store, high end I like CLINIQUE - Pretty Easy Liquid Eyelining Penor CIATé LONDON - Fierce Flicks Precision Tip Liquid Liner.

For high-end I love the tartiest double take eyeliner. The product lasts me forever and the tip stays sharp. I never have to shake it to get more product out. The best part is it's also double sided! One end is the liquid and one side is the pencil. For drugstore I love the NYX matte black eyeliner, but I do have to dip back in to complete my eyeliner. Hope that helps! @EmaGrace

Re: Best Black Liquid Eyeliner

Hi @EmaGrace I have been loving the PAT McGRATH LABS PERMA PRECISION Liquid Eyeliner Xtreme Black I find it pretty easy to use and it stays all day on me. I only have to go back over the line if I want to thicken the edge a bit.

Re: Best Black Liquid Eyeliner

Hi @EmaGrace, my all-time favorite is the stila Stay All Day® Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner Intense Black ! It's super black, easy to apply, and literally stays all day. I hope this helps!
