10 of the best: Easy-to-apply eyeliners

While we’d all love to be able to create the perfect smouldering stare, uncooperative eyeliners can prove to be a massive hurdle in our attempts at cat-eyed extravagance.
But not any longer, we say! Wave goodbye to stubborn pencils or wobbly liquid eyeliners, and welcome these few that are an absolute cinch to apply – flawlessly.
#1 Smashbox Limitless Liquid Liner Pen
“From the moment I opened this liquid eyeliner I knew that it was going to be my new best friend. The pen-like tip was tapered to a perfect point to allow for real precision lining, and just the right amount of product was distributed on application. The tip was also quite firm, which meant it never wobbled as I used it, and once it dried it wouldn’t budge until I took it off with make-up remover. I’ve used it almost every day for four months now, and it’s only just starting to run dry, so you really get a lot of use out of it. Fab product – would definitely recommend!” Rating: 5/5 – Bh’sDeb

The pen, as it is not precise and can wear smudged look

I prefer liquid or gel. I haven't found a pen that actually glides without pulling or running out of ink halfway through.

I like liquid,gel and Kohl all types. As long as the formula glides smoothly.

eyeliner in a variety of colours is a must have for me. This article is great and I am now going to try some of the eyeliners suggested. I like doing a black winged look with a glitter or metallic line under it.

I must try the ones I don't have yet. Eyeliner is critical in my make up routine.

Not good at pen liners, I can do one then the other one looks like a 2 yo did it, a flat angled brush seems to be all I can master lol

I don't think you can go past god old Avon Glimmerstick (wind-up) Eyeliner pencils. They come in a range of colours. Usually on sale for about $8.99 or 2 for $14. So easy to use & look great. Also do Lip liners & Eyebrow pencils.

I have tried quiet a few eyeliners and the only one I can use is the powder form. The liquid and gel eyelines are just to hard to apply,

I usually use pencil eyeliners but I might just try this, it looks relatively easy

It seems all the eyeliner methods are a hit and miss for me, mostly a miss. Which is why I rarely wear liner, regardless of having an abundance of them. I do prefer liquid liners for faster and easiest application though.

I'm absolutely terrible at applying eyeliner, especially pencil, so i'll probably give the Smashbox liner a shot!

OK I will try smashbox because I believe BH and my fellow beauties more than sales people. I have about 10 eyeliners that all promise the world and just don't deliver. Keen to give Smashbox a go!

I don't like any of these brands here & frankly I wouldn't try these one's either.

OOOoooh I LOVE SMASHBOX
Will have to give theirs a go.
I use a pot at the moment but I find it doesn't give me the same intensity
