8 Long Lasting Eyeliners For Any Budget

Whether you prefer these long lasting eyeliners in a pencil, liquid or gel format, these beauty editor-approved ones are your absolute must-haves

by Joyce Cheo  /   October 24, 2019

A long lasting eyeliner can make a huge difference in accentuating your features. For example, a cat-eye effect liner not only looks flirty and sexy, its upward flick also helps lift your eyes. If you prefer to apply eyeliner all around your upper and lower lash lines, smudging out the edges slightly not only softens the look, but it also adds a touch of just out-of-bed sexiness.

That said, for many women, that perfect eyeliner which glides on, stays put all day long and yet can be easily removed with makeup remover, remains elusive. Thanks to the hot and humid climate, waterproof eyeliners have become one of the most popular items found in women’s beauty stash. On top of that, many women also face oily lids, which mean even waterproof liners can disappoint and smudge some times.

To ensure round-the-clock wear, prep your skin with an eye cream to smooth fine lines so makeup goes on easily. Allow some time for the eye cream to be absorbed completely before proceeding with makeup or it can actually contribute to making eye makeup smudge. Layer on a thin layer of eye shadow primer, as this not only fills in lines to create a perfect canvas for makeup application, it also helps prolong the wear and intensity of makeup applied after. If you have unsteady hands and can never draw a steady line when applying your eyeliner, try resting your arm on a table or wall. Finally, apply your favourite eyeliner to the desired look that you want and voila!

Read on for the eight eyeliners that beauty editors count on for budge-proof wear at every budget:

8 Long Lasting Eyeliners For Any Budget
Etude House Super Slim Proof Pencil Liner, $14.90

Retractable eyeliner pencils are widely loved for good reason: it’s self sharpening and you don’t have to carrying around a sharpener. And this one from popular K-beauty brand, Etude House features an ultra-slim 1.5mm pencil so you are always guaranteed precision during application. It also has a creamy formula which doesn’t tug at your lids as you apply. Best part, it stays on through tears and an entire day out.

KATE Super Sharp Liner EX, $17

The magic in this liquid liner lies in its special application brush. Not only is it super fine, the brush is also elastic and soft so application is not only effortless but also always comfortable. Upon application, keep eyes closed for about 30 seconds to one minute, allowing the fluid to dry completely and prevent smudging.

Browhaus Precision Waterproof Eyeliner In Black, $19.90

While we do not advocate keeping makeup on during a workout, this is your go-to if life ever requires your liner to look flawless during times of exercise or even a dip in the pool. Thanks to its waterproof and smudge-proof formula, this liner adheres to skin surface and follows your every move. The ultra-fine tip also makes mastering a cat-eye flick super easy.

K-Palette 1 Day Tattoo Waterproof Eye Liner, $19.90

As its name suggests, this is one of the longest-lasting liners available in the market. And it is all thanks to polymers found in the eyeliner formula, which not only ensures lasting hold but also remains gentle, even for those with sensitive eyes. The micro-fibre soft brush also boasts a patented design so application is neat and precise. No wonder the brand claims to have sold over 1 billion pieces of this liner!

Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner Super Black, $24.90

Another widely raved about eyeliner from Japan, this is also a favourite amongst women who want precision, ease of control and intense pigment payoff. It has a firm yet soft tip for effortless application, and the brush controls the amount of product it dispenses so you never have to worry about product overflow. Best part? Once the liner formula sets on your lids, it is not going anywhere for the rest of the day (even though it can easily be removed with warm water). Do remember to give the pen a good shake before application to ensure that the formula is well-mixed.

Shu Uemura Lasting Soft Gel Pencil, $37

If you like the high intensity pigments of gel eyeliner but find it cumbersome to have to carry a separate brush along with your gel liner, look no further than this. Marrying the saturation of colour with the ease of application, this creamy formula glides smoothly onto the skin. It also has an ultra-fine tip to ensure you have the freedom to create precise lines for any look you’re after. And once the gel formula sets, it doesn’t rub off and stays put all day long.

Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Matte Gel Eye Crayon, $38

A staple in many professional makeup artists’ kits, this gel eye crayon from Marc Jacobs Beauty is a definite game changer. Its malleable formula goes onto skin like a dream and its glitter-free colours are intensified with rich pigment concentration. Right after application, the eyeliner remains blendable, making it perfect for smudging out the edges to create a smoky, diffused look. And once it is set, the liner stays put for 12 hours straight so you never have to worry about touch-ups. Plus points go to the built-in sharpener at the base of the product.

Cle de Peau Beaute Intensifying Liquid Eyeliner, $77

With its twin applicators format, this liquid eyeliner gives you the versatility to line your eyes perfectly, be it a bold, thick line or an ultra-fine one. The inky fluid dispensed by both brushes contains the brand’s Full Saturated Pigment for intense colour and shine. In addition, it is also quick dry so once it is set, it doesn’t smudge, crease into lines or transfer for hours on end.
