Rating all eyeliners that I have ever tried before
11
items Honest ratings of all the eyeliners I have used and emptied. I wear eyeliner very often and I have a tried an insane number of eyeliners! I am also super picky about the tip and formulation! Most of these are liquid brush-tip, which are easier to use...

Would repurchase
They're okay
Not repurchasing
Would repurchase
All brush-tip eyeliners that I would definitely buy again. Some I prefer more than others. The Sephora, peripera and lilybyred eyeliners were my top eyeliners if I rate them on how often I reached for it, the price and how easy it is to use.
100/10. most precise brush eyeliner- gives me the sharpest wing but smudges easily and it is definitely not waterproof. would still repurchase though, because it is so easy to use. I always use this when I want my eye makeup to look nice. I also like...
SEPHORA Long Lasting Eyeliner High Precision Brush (UK)
9/10. Very affordable and waterproof but the pigment is not that rich when you first open the pen. The more I used it, the better the ink dispensed and now it is fine, and the pigment is opaque! But it took a while- in the beginning the pigment was n...
lilybyred - Am9 to Pm9 Survival Penliner
9/10. very small tip for a sharp wing but it is a bit tedious to fill in my eyeliner with a brush this small. It takes longer slightly longer, but it is good for small wings. I use it sometimes to sharpen my wing that I made with a thicker liner. ❌ I...
Judydoll - Slim Liquid Eyeliner | YesStyle
10/10 because the ink is very dark, and its also very precise! Also extremely affordable, I don't have any complaints about this eyeliner and I would buy it again. The packaging is a bit fragile though because I dropped it once and the lid cracked
peripera - Ink Thin Thin Brush Liner - 2 Colors
10/10. This is a new eyeliner I tried recently. still affordable and the pigment is super dark. The tip is precise which allows you to get a sharp wing + it's smudge proof. The brown black shade is the perfect dark brown that is slightly more natural...
Cezanne Super Sharp Eyeliner Brown Black
They're okay
These eyeliners are decent options and theres not much I have to complain about, but they are not holy grails and I have eyeliners that I prefer over them.
8/10 purely because I prefer liquid eyeliners- easier/faster to remove and apply. I purchased the dark brown shade. Since it is a gel eyeliner, it is more long lasting that liquid eyeliners, and you can smudge it out for a smoky look. However I haven...
Judydoll - Long Lasting Eyeliner Gel
8/10- still a good option. the tip is very small, I recommend this for beginners- easy to draw a nice wing with this ✅. ❌I only put it in “not repurchasing” because it dries out pretty fast and the tip can get frayed if you're not careful when puttin...
Maybelline Hyper Easy Eyeliner Black
8/10. Affordable + easy to use to create a sharp wing. Really pigmented black colour and has a brush tip which is super easy to use. However after a few months, the ink started to leak and it has suddenly become a lot more watery and runs into the li...
L'Oreal Infallible Grip Micro Fine 0.01mm 36H Eyeliner Obsidian Black (UK)
Not repurchasing
I would NOT repurchase these eyeliners for specific reasons which I have explained in detail below. I used to love the Lancôme one, but now taking into account the price, cheaper ones are just as good and so I won't be repurchasing!
5/10. Would not repurchase this. It has a felt tip which is harder to use and despite it being a "microtip" it doesn't let me get a wing that is sharp enough for my liking. However, it is long wearing and it's smudge proof.
Stay All Day® Liquid Eye Liner Micro Tip - Intense Black | Stila Cosmetics UK
4/10. Thick felt tip- not suitable for a sharp wing. However, if you prefer felt tips you might like this. Kiko does have other eyeliners which have a slimmer brush tip- there is another one which is better and more precise.
KIKO MILANO Precision Eyeliner
6/10. I have changed the rating because I realised I prefer any brush tip eyeliner. ✅ decent eyeliner, pigmented if you are willing to splurge. But this one is a felt tip and I can get an eyeliner for less that is just as good/ better. ❌ I would rath...
