Applying liquid eyeliner is possibly the most stress-inducing part of any makeup routine. You've spent 30 minutes curating the perfect cut-crease, blending every pigment seamlessy and then the pivotal moment comes: your hands are shaking, you can't ruin this look with your year 9 emo overlining. You start off well, but there's a slight wobble on one side and so you go in with a makeup wipe, all hell breaks loose and all of a sudden your Jenny Humphrey circa season 5 of Gossip Girl...

The best way to avoid all possible Jenny Humphrey moments (unless that's your thing of course) and make your liquid eyeliner go on perfectly? It's not your technique, it's the product. More often than not, struggling to apply liquid eyeliner comes down to the formula being too watery, the brush too stiff or just plain badly shaped.

That's why we've hunted down the best eyeliners to make application as easy as it seems on Instagram. We're looking for the perfect brush shape, consistency of the product and that long-lasting durability, as well as ease to wipe away and of course, the darker the better.
