My Three Favorite Liquid Eyeliners (They’re All Under $10)

20120528-120559.jpg
I had been saving all of these containers solely for this blog post! I love liquid eye liner because it’s sleek and controlable.  Sometimes, I don’t feel like hunting down one of my cream liners and brushes. I had been using this $19 liquid eye liner from MAC for years. I also liked the Liquid Last liner and Penultimate, but they were too pricey as well. I have no idea how many tubes I went through! Here are three that worked well for me, and my favorite so far.

L’Oreal

The L’Oreal Lineur Intense Felt Tip Eyeliner gives a super rich black color. It has an interesting texture, which makes it look like you can peel it off. However, I hate the felt tip applicator. It’s so flimsy that I was making uneven lines. I ended up using my MAC 208 angled brow brush and applying it from the felt tip.

Covergirl

Covergirl Line Exact Liquid Liner was the first drugstore liner that I tried. I loved the small handle, becuase I got a very precise grip. The color was okay at first, because it is the first one that I tried. I realized after I bought a few other liners that the color isn’t very dark. Sometimes it seemed like it was mixed with water.

Maybelline

The Maybelline Eye Studio® Master Precise™ Ink Pen Eyeliner is my favorite right now! I received it at the Essence Best in Black Beauty Awards a couple of weeks ago. If it was rated a winner, then it had to be good! Well, they definitely didn’t dissapoint. The tip is long and firm, perfect for using on its side. The color was a dense black, and lasted all day. I still haven’t found anything to dislike from this product. The only other Maybelline product that was this good was Red Revival lipstick!

Next..

My friend Nik told me the Milani Eye Tech Extreme Liquid Liner was really great. As a beauty lover and blogger, you know I can’t just settle with one that I like. I have to keep trying others to make sure it’s the best!

EDIT: If you love those, you’ll absolutely go GAGA for this $5 cream eyeliner. Click the image below for swatches and a review.

    I love the Maybeline pen! It’s my fav right now too. I tried the Prestige liquid liner.. loved the formula .. but hated the brush.. it’s so stiff and hard. But the Maybeline is my top fav!

    I am just learning to line my top lid so I don’t think my hand is steady enough to use these. I use Mac’s black trax fluidline and I am still working on making matching lines and then winging it, one day at a time

    MAC Black Track Cream liner/ MUFE Cream Liners have been my go to’s for a few years now. I still use them quite often too, but sometimes, I can’t help but pick up the liquid!
