best eyeliner for waterline?

[mreichert]

I'm looking for a cheaper brand eyeliner for the waterline- I don't feel like shelling out big bucks for eyeliners, so.... does anyone know of a cheaper brand that still works well?

TIA

Sephora's eyeliner is good; it's $6 or something. It's small though, like a short stick of eyeliner.
I suppose you cant go wrong with regular drugstore eyeliner pencils. i really like Almay eyeliner in the twist up thing (do they sell Almay in the US?)

handsdown - smashbox jet set - never disappears & is designed to be used in the waterline. Best to use the arched liner brush.

sorry, just read where you wanted something cheap - SB isn't cheap, but it's really really is good stuff

Maybelline! I actually like it better than my MAC Smolder!

L’Oreal Automatic Pencil Eyeliner
It's a nice automatic-sharpening kohl liner for a perfect smoldering look

I love Revlon Colorstay....it seriously lasts forever and self-sharpening.

Thank you all so much! Are these pencils rough on the eye? I'm looking for something somewhat creamy- I've tried some "cheaper" ones that were just like pencils, and they scratched my waterlines

I use Rimmel Exaggerate Full Colour Eye Definer in Noir. It goes on really easily, stays put, and is pretty cheap.

The Almay one i suggested is rly nice and smooth. The Sephora one is a little scratchy...

Prestige makes some very smooth pencils, they are inexpensive and the waterproof ones don't smudge.

The smashbox jet set is a gel...very soft for the delicate waterline. It comes in a big pot that lasts forever too. My eyes are extremely sensitive to everything, plus i wear contacts and this is the only liner i can put there.

As seen here on Specktra, why don't you dip your pencil in your Blacktrack fluidline?
(if you're speaking about a black waterline... But I think that it'll work with every colour...)
It's very soft and stays on great for hours : >

revlon's colorstay is verrry creamy..it won't scratch your eye...and its the self sharpening kind...

I don't like the normal short stick Sephora eyeliners (just bought one and it doesn't have good color payoff imo)...BUT...I LOVE Sephora's "flashy liner waterproof" (8$) for the waterline...I have it in "flaushy mauve" and it's gorgeousss. (It is what is on my waterline in my avatar right now!)

I use the Revlon ColorStay eyeliner. They are creamy and they last longer than most of the eyeliners I have (though they still come off on me since I have watery & sensitive eyes). I think it's less than $10.

maybelline expert eyes. they come in a pack of two little red pencils and are about $3-$4. and all you need is a lighter to "warm" the tip up for like 2 seconds, but make sure its not melty before you put it on (i test it on my wrist before applying it on my water line). plus its waterproof and will last all day.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe fluidlines are not safe for waterline...

also, it ruined my contacts...

That's what I thought. I never know how to apply it well to my waterline anyway. It always gets messy and goes directly into my eye. Yick!

I'll stick with pencil/powerpoint/cremestick on my waterline.

Although it's expensive, nothing beats Guerlain's Terracotta Loose Powder Kohl. Other than that the thing with more staying powder that is relatively affordable is MAC's Technakohl.
