This summer, we completely overhauled our makeup arsenal — swapping out our foundations for tinted moisturizers, stocking up on cream blushes over powders, and grabbing our favorite SPFs. And, of course, we put down our smudgy liners and picked up waterproof versions.
Now, as we move into fall, we're still reaching for those same liners to get us through a busy commute, a stressful meeting, or maybe even a good cry. Click through to see our editors' favorites for every style and budget.
Despite this liner's creamy consistency, it holds up all day — and even stays put on our slippery waterlines.
Urban Decay 24/7 Waterline Eye Pencil, $20, available at Urban Decay.
If you've ever tight-lined your eyes with a subpar eyeliner, you probably had raccoon eyes halfway through the day. The solution? This super skinny liner from DHC won't budge. It even passed our most grueling test: 12 hours of wear on a humid day.
DHC Gel Pencil Eyeliner EX, $10, available at DHC.
Stila's liner is not only insanely popular among editors, but it has some pretty stellar customer reviews to back it up. We're fans because it stays put ALL DAY and the pointed tip makes it super-easy to apply. Plus, it comes in 15 colors. (Yes, 15.)
Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner, $20, available at Sephora.
When Kat Von D calls one of her eyeliners the “Tattoo Liner,” you can trust it’s going to be too legit to quit. This is the deepest black shade of liner we've ever found, and it never fades to gray or green like some formulas do.
Kat Von D Tattoo Liner, $19, available at Sephora.
When the temperatures rise, so does our interest in playing with our liner colors — and this blue is our go-to. Check out our favorite ways to wear it right here.
Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner Liquid Eyeliner in Diamond Turquoise Blue, $23, available at Sephora.
Remember the days when we carried around real pencil liners? Well, it's time for a throwback, because this dual-ended stick is ideal for pretty much any summer situation. Rim your eyes with the smoky brown or upgrade to satin black (or do a mix of both). Either way, they won't smudge.
CoverGirl TruNaked Waterproof Eyeliner Duo Pack, $8.99, available at Ulta Beauty.
A pencil liner that is as precise and opaque as a liquid one? Sign us up. The waterproof formula is creamy, but long-wearing, so you can cut down on touch-ups throughout the hot day.
Smashbox Always Sharp Waterproof Kôhl Liner, $20, available at Sephora.
