Get Sleek, Tightlined Eyes With These 5 Effective Liners
With punk influences returning to the forefront of fashion and beauty, there's one product that is a must-have for every look: eyeliner. Nothing says edgy like a bold, black waterline—or tightlining—(especially when paired with a gorgeous smoke eye).
Whether you're ready to jump onto the bandwagon unapologetically or have sworn by eyeliner since the beginning of time, we have five new ones you should consider adding to your collection for the most sleek and dark waterline.
Wet n Wild Megalast Retractable Eyeliner: $2.29
Wet n Wild's Waterproof Retractable Gel Eyeliner is one of the few drugstore brands that doesn't budge throughout the day. Despite our watery eyes and oily lids, we have zero smudging or irritation. The Blackest Black truly makes a bolder statement than its standard black. Besides, you can't beat $2.99.
NYX Professional Makeup Vivid Rich Mechanical Pencil: $6.50
We can never believe that NYX is a drugstore brand. This Vivid Rich Mechanical Pencil has a silky, satin feel that measures up to the most luxurious liners, and the pigment is intense. Thankfully, it's still only $8. In case you don't want black, they have a variety of shades, from gold to olive.

Pixi + Hello Kitty Endless Silky Waterproof Eyeliner Pen: $12
If anything has Hello Kitty branding, we want it, so when Pixie dropped their new Sanrio collab, we knew we had to have the HK Bow-themed eyeliner. This product goes beyond its novelty, too—the cream applies smoothly over any waterline.
KVD Beauty Tattoo Waterproof Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner: $23
KVD Beauty has always been the go-to for edgy beauty lovers, and who isn't a more qualified community to recommend eyeliner? Despite its rebranding, the Tattoo Liner is still one of the best on the market. It has a defined, chic and easy application that lasts hours.
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil: $23
We decided to invest in Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner, and it has never failed us. It has the cleanest lines that seem impossible to smudge. It also may be the darkest one we've ever used. With one swipe, we were ready to take on the night.
