The Newest, Easiest-to-Use Eyeliners

Estée Lauder Little Black Liner ($30)

This dual-sided liner is truly a one-stop-shop for your eyes. One side has an ultra-fine tip, perfect for everyday lining, and the other side houses a flat wedge tip, designed to be used in two ways—for a classic line when only the tip is used, and for full-on drama when the same tip is on its side.  

Urban Decay 24/7 Waterline Eye Pencil ($20)

This line of pencils (they come in five different shades) is specifically designed to glide along the inner rim of your waterline. Once the color sets, its waterproof formula keeps it intact for standout color all day or night.  

Burberry Effortless Liquid Eyeliner ($34)

While liquid eyeliners can sometimes strike fear in us, this one does a great job calming us down. Its tip is so long that it’s easy to be precise about your placement while its shape feels super similar to a pen, making it more comfortable (and making us more confident) to use. 

DHC Gel Pencil Eyeliner EX ($11)

This smudgeproof and waterproof liner is available in black and brown and provides the best of both worlds—the precision of a twist-up pencil and the smoothness of a gel—to deliver a flawless application every time. 

Olivia Palermo X Ciaté London ‘Smoked Out’ Gel Kohl Liner ($22)

This pencil (it comes in a deep black and a rich fig shade) goes on easy, and more importantly, lasts. Create a defined line with the precise tip or use the built-in blender tool to make a super easy smoky eye.
