need eyeliner recommendations

Collette · Chanel

If your skin is really oily I highly recommend a primer first. I use the Urban decay one and love it. My eyeliner/shadow stays on until I literally scrub it off. If I fall asleep in it ( I know terrible) I wake up and it's still perfect the next morning.

I too have very oily eyelids.

Primer definitely helps powder eyeliner stay on. I second Collette's UD rec and I also currently use Guerlain's Divinora eye primer.

I've also had good luck with gel-creme eyeliners (like Stila Smudge Pots or Smashbox) applied with a really thin brush.

When I was more punkish, I used MAC Shadesticks to line my eyes. They can be used with a light hand to line eyes.

Revlon's Colorstay eyeliners also have really good staying power.

I have been through pretty much every eyeliner and have found that Revlon Colorstay is far and away the best. I use both the liquid and the pencil and they are both fantastic. I would highly recommend it.

I agree with Stila smudgepots. Mine doesn't budge.

Wow, I wish I would have had this luck Smudgepots - mine worked really well for a few months, but then like every other eyeliner, it started to flake/rub off cry

Revlon Color Stay eyeline with Benefit She-Laq on top (it sets the eyeliner and it will NEVER budge).

I ended up getting Revlon Colorstay. They had buy one get one free at Rite-Aid. I got bronze and brown/black. I have been using the bronze and it has taken some practice putting on liquid eyeliner, but I love it. Thanks everyone for the recs.
