Brutally rating all the eyeliners I have tried

skinova

Honest ratings of all the eyeliners I have used recently. Most of these are liquid and brush-tip, which are easier to use for precise wings. I have tried so many eyeliners, I'm basically a pro 😜. I have summarised the most important points for each ...

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)

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 I owned the eyeliner for a few months, the ink has started to leak and it has suddenly become a lot mor...

L'Oreal Infallible Grip Micro Fine 0.01mm 36H Eyeliner Obsidian Black (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

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, the cheaper ones are just as good, so I probably won't be repurchasing!

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

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...

Lancôme Lash Idôle Liquid Eye Liner

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...
