The #1 waterproof eyeliner at Sephora — and for good reason. Glides on smooth, doesn't budge in heat or humidity, and comes in dozens of colors if you want to have fun with it.
24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil - Urban Decay | Sephora
A precise liquid liner that truly stays all day — even in summer heat. The fine tip makes it easy to do a thin line or build to a bold wing. A longtime fan favorite.
