Tried and tested many over the years and the only one I've ever found to work perfectly was the Glossier play colourslide which has since been discontinued!

Looking for a variety of colours in pencil form as opposed to pen or liquid. I have very oily hooded eyelids and everything I've ever tried other than the colourslide results in the eyeliner transferring onto the upper eye area within a couple of hours.

Love to hear your recommendations!

I like Laura Geller Inkcredible liners, they stay firmly put on my greasy skin.

Devoted eyeliner user here. After years of experimenting to find a solution to this exact issue, I can say that the best thing to use is an eyeshadow primer all over your eyelids. I like the urban decay primer potion - it keeps all eye make up on! No more panda eyes.

As for the eyeliner, I find liquid is better than kohl at staying put. I particularly like the ones shaped like felt tip pens. I use the no7 one, but there are a few around in this design.

I've tried loads- have you tried Soap and Glory Smoulder Kohl? I like a pencil that doesn't smudge, this is the best I've found, after trying premium beauty brands. It's not the same as a pen, though. Combined with a primer it's pretty good!

Eyeshadow primer here too, just a cheap max factor one, it’s made all the difference to how my eye make up stays put. I put mine on, pat it in, leave it to set then put some translucent powder on and then eye make up. I can now wear soft smudgy eyeliner without transfer to my upper eye lids

Eyeliner tattoo, Semi permanent make-up. Game changer.

Urban decay 24/7 eyeliner pencil, I have greasy eyelids too and this stays put all day, comes in lots of colours

Similar issues here. Urban Decay’s primer solves a lot of the problem for me. I’m a real make up snob and buy mostly beauty counter stuff, but can’t beat Avon glimmer sticks for eyeliner.

I too have tried many over the years lots that are mentioned here, and none stay put for long on my oily eye lids, the stilla is the worst, I do agree the primer helps, but this last week I've been using a eyeliner felt tip pen style and had great success it last nearly all day with no smudge. I also have the liquid liner from mac, that stays on great too, but I can't get it so neat as it drys very quickly.
