Please could anyone recommend a black eyeliner pencil that actually lasts all day ( or at least 7 hours!) on the bottom eyelid ( not waterline.)

Wonderskin - they're amazing and can be bought on Amazon now too 😊

I tightline and use Estée Lauder double wear eyeliner in dark brown. Doesn’t budge all day.

Victoria Beckham and Lisa Eldridge.
Alternatively the Makeup By Mario liquid eyeliner

help… ive never found an eyeliner pencil that ‘sharpens’ properly… nor a lip liner pencil either. The tips just snap off in the sharpener (maybe it’s my 99p sharpener at fault) so I usually buy one of those with a retractable tip.
Happy for anyone to suggest something suitable!

Jones Road Gel Liner is the best I’ve ever used - doesn’t budge.

Be prepared it's hard to get off in the evenings though

Daniel Sandler Long Lasting Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil.

Hi OP. longevity comes down to formula type. Look for a pencil with a gel or wax-based formula rather than a soft kohl (gel formulas set more firmly & resist transfer significantly better!). Setting the liner with a matching eyeshadow pressed over the top immediately after application extends wear dramatically (because the powder absorbs any residual moisture & sets the formula in place!). Hope this helps.

@1emma19 thanks, that’s really helpful!
Any recommended gel pencils?

My skin is so oily so most smudge on me, only ones that don’t are double wear and Victoria beckham

Onemorestepaling · 22/04/2026 20:46

Laura Geller gel pencil or l’orral gel pencil?

I posted it on here before and posters recommended wonderskin but when I looked at the trustpilot reviews, I changed my mind. There were a lot of people saying they never received the goods after paying for them.

Will try it if Amazon is actually delivering it - I'll have a look

But, I do have one question - are people using primer? I seem to be allergic to primers and that does actually make me wonder if I'll be allergic to a lot of these long stay eyeliners.

Avon Glimmerstick. They are about £4 on Amazon. They stay on the waterline and don't smudge ( but you can choose to smudge them when you put them on. They fade a little throughout the day but worth reapplying for that price.

Both my Wonderskin eyeliners washed off with plain water
