An eyeliner pencil is a classic piece of a makeup kit that we believe will never go out of style; it’s versatile, bold, blendable, and can be used to replace a handful of makeup steps (like eyeshadow and lip liner, just to name a few).
If you’re on the same wavelength as us, then you’re probably also super picky about the eyeliner pencils you do have (honestly, same), which is why we’ve taken the liberty to sort through some of the best-selling and top-rated eyeliner pencils on offer down under.

Love it, it’s such a classy look
It is a classy look.
Never heard of some of these. I like a soft but sharp pencil.
Yes soft and sharp is the key.
I’m always looking for a good eyeliner pencil. Thanks!
I have a few eyeliners in the makeup bag but hardly ever use them. l always feel like eyeliner makes me look silly.??
The only one I’ve used before is the Revlon Colour Stay and I would buy it again.
Good to know !
I don’t use eyeliner anymore. I’ve just given six unopened ones to my daughter-in-law.
I stopped using it as I struggle to see without glasses now
I find even waterproof ones smudge, so I tend to steer clear of eyeliner these days.
Ooh they look nice, I love a softer style crayon, hard just drags on and you get no colour and it hurts
Victoria’s one look lovely
Gone are the days of hard eyeliners !
Good to know the latest top eyeliners – I sometimes use a little bit very lightly placed
Lightly placed is good, sometimes too dark and too much is not great?
oh the jewel like finishes sound gorgeous
I don’t wear eyeliner anymore
Revlon colourstay is always a staple in my make up
This one souns nice and I do like Revlon, middle of the road.
I like to use a creamy eyeliner pencil
Eyeliner is essential with make up. I feel like it makes a difference.
I agree, @Duaa2202. I’m not myself without a winged liner. I can skip foundation & blush, but never eyeliner.
I haven’t worn eyeliner in a while. This has inspired me to wear it again.
Liquid eyeliner with a brush was one of the first cosmetics I tried & it’s still my preference. I find pencils can be hard.
L’Oréal make my favourite. Used for years
Never used one
