To say I'm a liquid eyeliner expert would be an understatement — I have tried at least 50 formulas as a shopping editor. Once you find a good eyeliner, you have to hold it near and dear to your heart. You should test a variety of options to understand what's most important to you. There are a few things I look for when I dub an eyeliner worthy of my vanity: the opaqueness, the color, the staying power, and the quality of the applicator. If I'm satisfied with all four of these attributes, it's a true gem.
Nobody likes a smudged, faded cat eye. If you need some guidance on what to try, I rounded up options from Sephora that are my personal favorites. All of these products are in my heavy rotation; I used them regularly and love them for different reasons. Find out which formula is perfect for you.
