Pencil eyeliner that really stays on?

Any recommendations? preferably easy to apply and in dark brown but if not black's fine too, it just needs to stay on.

VB kajal eyeliners are FANTASTIC

chucklevisions · 30/04/2023 14:22

Clinique cream shaper in chocolate lustre!

This. They are brilliant. Very nicely made and good colours which stay put.

I had the No7 Stay Perfect Amazing Eyes pencil eyeliner in a gift set for Christmas and it is AMAZING. I'll use it for life now I think!

I like the vb kajal liners but I wouldn't say they stay on that well? They are very soft and smudgy and great for that look but they don't tend to stay put all day in my opinion. Especially in the water line.

I was going to ask this too. I have a Nars one but it’s just too soft and smudgy.

Deathbywhy · 30/04/2023 15:49

Estée Lauder double wear ones are my go to, I have really oily skin and these are the only ones that don’t move on me

Maybelline tattoo eyeliner pencil. Cheap and as good as bobbi brown.

DramaAlpaca · 30/04/2023 16:45

Another vote for Victoria Beckham's kajal eyeliners. They're really good. I don't use them on the waterline because of contact lenses, but on the upper lids they stay put all day.

I like Clinique too.

Thanks for all these recommendations. Going to take a look at all of them.

Another vote for the VB kajal

KirstenBlest · 30/04/2023 20:29

No 7 Stay Perfect and the Maybelline waterproof

Fancyateapottea · 30/04/2023 20:32

Avon glimmer sticks are brill for the water line and really cheap.

Yeah really good and lasts all day

UnaVaca · 30/04/2023 20:38

Bobbi Brown

OllyBJolly · 30/04/2023 20:52

I find the VB Kajal easy to go on and last all day.

BoredOfThisMansWorld · 30/04/2023 21:37

Kyliner by Kylie cosmetics. I'm the last person to buy something because of celebrity endorsement but this was an impulse buy when nothing else was available in the colour I needed and it's turned out to be brilliant. Super smooth application, very pigmented, no smudges.

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 30/04/2023 21:42

Nars.

Avon glimmer stick in cosmic brown - glides on and stays put

lunaloveroo · 30/04/2023 22:17

The VB kajal are great to work with but because they're soft they do move. They are harder to get exact. I like the Bobby brown black pencil eyeliner.

Londontomadrid · 30/04/2023 22:24

The absolute non-budge super difficult to get off one I've ever used it the soap and glory one but it's very black. It was actually annoying how hard it was to remove so I stopped using it! Also prefer brown now but they may have introduced more colours as this was years ago.

Aspergirl77 · 30/04/2023 22:50

Another vote for Avon glimmersticks! Saturn grey is my fave.

Thanks for all of these. Lots of votes for the VB one. I've ordered the Stay Perfect to start because it's the cheaper option, and if that doesn't work I'll move on to a pricier one. Have bought a primer as well.

These are always recommended on threads asking this question, and I'm amazed. They barely stay in place longer than an hour for me, I threw it in the bin!
