Smudge-Proof Eyeliners for Summer
Every gal needs the best waterproof eyeliner to prevent those dreaded raccoon eyes while splashing around poolside this summer. No one wants to risk their perfectly defined eyes with smudgy liner, right?
From pencil to liquid, here are my favorite waterproof, smudge-proof eyeliners for the season:
{From left to right}
NYX Felt Tip Liner in Extreme Black ($7 US) is a well-designed liquid eyeliner pen that has a special felt tip to dispense the perfect amount of liquid. The color is very pigmented, and I love how the felt tip gives me great control. This is the perfect liquid liner for dummies that won’t budge.
Sephora Brand Nano Eyeliner in Midnight Black ($5 US) is one of Sephora’s newest products that is designed for pigmented, glide on color. It isn’t marketed as waterproof, but I find that it does a wonderful job of putting up with the heat. Plus, the sweet price lets you haul all the gorgeous, rich colors!
Smashbox Jet Set Waterproof Eye Liner in Navy Blue ($22 US) is stunning. The deep navy color pops against all eye colors, and stays solid on the waterline. The gel formula is amazing and glides on much smoother than a pencil could. This is a must-have color eyeliner this summer.
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Gunmetal ($16 US) is not your average gray. This sparkling, shimmering color has tiny silver bits that illuminates. Exquisite and unique, any eyeliner addict will find this to be a worthy addition to their collection.
Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes in Bronze 10L ($17 US) is so hot, it’s not even considered brown. It’s a metallic, coppery, gold that shimmers like water to direct all attention to your pretty peepers. Plus, double the mileage of this eyeliner by using it as an eyeshadow! The waterproof formula will make sure it doesn’t crease.
Kat Von D Autograph Eyeliner in Proud Peacock ($16 US) is a deep, dark olive green that looks mixed with gray and black. The result is a flattering shade of mystery that keeps it from being categorized as one single color. Intriguing, right?

I really like the pewter shade from Kat Von D, although I don’t see any green in it. Is it more olive in person?

Hi Lilan!
Yes, it’s definitely more olive in person. However, it’s more of a gunmetal pewter with olive undertones! You should definitely try it.
