- Eyeliner doesn't have to be intimidating.
- With a good eyeliner and a little practice, you can get the perfect cat eye or any liner look you want.
- The 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil from Urban Decay is our top pick for best eyeliner overall because it glides on smoothly to create many different looks and stays on for up to 24 hours.
Eyeliner is definitely a if-I-have-time beauty item, but man, does it makes a big impact when I use it.
While eyeshadow and mascara can draw attention to and open up your eyes, eyeliner defines their actual shape and helps make deep-set or small eyes look a little bit larger - at least, when wielded correctly.
Since there are so many eyeliners out there, we decided to make your shopping a little bit easier by rounding up the best choices in several different categories. So whether you like your liner subtle and natural, in which case, a traditional pencil is your best choice, or dramatic and winged out - reach for liquid or gel - you'll definitely start making time in the morning to use any of these picks.
Here are our picks for the best eyeliner in 2019:
- Best eyeliner overall: Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil
- Best swivel-up eyeliner pencil: Sephora Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil
- Best liquid eyeliner: Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
- Best gel eyeliner: Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner
- Best drugstore eyeliner: NYX Slim Eye Pencil
