Eyeliner that doesn't smudge?

My eyeliner looks rubbish after a couple of hours, even when I set it with a little bit of eyeshadow? Any recommendations for brands that stay put and look good? Thanks x

Are you good at eyeliner? I'm bad at eyeliner and use No 7 felt tip pen eyeliner for tightlining and it doesn't smudge at all, but you can't do a smoky eye or anything skilful with it - it's a tight line or nothing.

I wet the brush and use eyeshadow as a liner.

Depends what style of eyeliner? My winged eyeliner always used to turn into a black blob by the end of the day/night. Then I started using a dab of Lipcote lipstick sealant on top of it. It’s magic stuff and my liner now doesn’t budge even if I’ve been hot and sweaty for whatever reason.

It’s an amazing solution for keeping winged eyeliner looking sharp, but word of warning, do not use it too close the the lash line. It’s not really designed for this purpose and it fucking kills if you get even a tiny tiny drop in your eye.

Oh and I use Maybelline Lasting Drama gel eyeliner in a little pot with a separate brush. It seems to be the thing that pairs best with the dab of Lipcote.

I’ve just tested a shein one on my hand and can’t get it off so that works well! I like Avon glimmersticks, I seal it with lose powder.

I always use eyeliner pencil and the best one I’ve found so far is Clinique Quickliner. The brown/ black is really nice. No need to sharpen either as you twist the bottom.

Agree Avon Glimmersticks are fantastic, used them for years with primer/eyeshadow first

Every eyeliner I've ever tried moves on me eventually, but the NYX one is one of the best.
