Eyeliner that doesn't budge

Can anyone recommend an eyeliner that stays put? I am using Avon glimmer sticks which is good but does tend to smudge halfway through the day. I don't care for pencils that need sharpening.

Mac waterproof liquid liner. Can't remember what it's called but it comes in a tiny wee bottle.

It does not budge or smudge ever!

Urban decay 24/7 pencil eyeliner although that does need sharpening

libertytrainers · 10/06/2014 20:12

so do you mean a liquid liner, doesn't most eyeliners need sharpening?

ScooseIsLoose · 10/06/2014 20:27

Clinique quick liner for eyes is also really good and doesn't need sharpening

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 10/06/2014 20:42

Este Lauder double wear.

Another shout for Estée Lauder double wear, the liquid one is fab

No7 liquid eyeliner in gunmetal stays put. Other colours tend to be hit-and-miss (I found the navy blue one shockingly bad) but I actually have to scrub a bit to get the gunmetal one off.

I have used Clinique and Estée Lauder ones in the past but this is my current favourite.

Another vote for No. 7 liquid liner. The green one is tornado proof!

I recently bought rimmel's scandal eyes gel liner which claims to stay put for 24 hours. Have to admit I am really impressed. I was worried about applying it with the brush but it is soooo easy and doesn't smudge onto the top of my eye socket like others do. Was about £6 so not a bad price either. They do it in and few different colours.

Bobbi brown gel eyeliner for top and urban decay 24/7 waterline

Thanks for your replies. I do like pencil liners (the twist up ones) but the glimmer sticks smudges a bit. I used to have the Clinique one but it got expensive, though it is a bit cheaper on Amazon. I love No7 make up, used to use their black liquid liner but that was years ago. I see they have a black/Brown one now which might be worth a try.

This Vivo eyeliner

Can buy it in Tescos or online -its £2, easy to apply, lasts for ages in the pot and all day on the eyes. It comes in a great range of colours such as mid-brown and silvery grey which are great for daytime and a lovely sparkly black for evening. Have been asked several times where I buy my eyeliner.

Cheap as chips but I haven't found a better one.

Got a free one with red or glamour this month. Can't budge the bloody stuff!!

MaryWestmacott · 10/06/2014 21:45

Estee Lauder double wear liquid here too. Doesn't budge, even if you are a complete slattern late to bed and forget to take it off, it's still pretty much perfect in the morning!

SunnyUpNorth · 10/06/2014 22:06

I use a MAC twisty pencil one, it is waterproof and really, really good. It is one of the only beauty items I always repurchase when it runs out.

AntoinetteCosway · 10/06/2014 22:08

Avon supershock gel eyeliners (but they're pencils! confusingly) really don't smudge. They do need to be sharpened though.

PeachTrees · 10/06/2014 22:10

another one who recommends urban decay 24/7

MagpieMama · 10/06/2014 23:01

I like Prestige automatic eyeliner (it's a twisty one) I've been using it for years.

FishCalledWonder · 10/06/2014 23:10

For those recommending urban decay, which shade is just a normal black? There are hundreds of shades, all with strange names.

ScooseIsLoose · 11/06/2014 07:02

Urban decay perversion is the black shade they also do a 24:7 liquid liner bit I haven't tried that yet

FishCalledWonder · 11/06/2014 11:08

Thanks. Ordering one now!

Amethyst24 · 11/06/2014 12:12

Smash box do brilliant ones. Stay put all day, don't need sharpening and come in loads of colours.
