If you love to wear a bold liner look but hate having to deal with smudging, try the Long-Wear Smudge-Proof Gel Eyeliner. Offering the precision of liquid liner with the ease of a gel-based formula, this eyeliner can help you create subtle to dramatic looks with hours of wear.

RevitaLash's aptly named eyeliner has a creamy formula that's easy to use and offers high-impact, long-lasting color. Designed with sensitive eyes in mind, this eyeliner pencil also features a built-in sharpener and convenient smudge tool.

Customer Review: "I've never used such a silky smooth liner. It applies so easily in my waterline, and it doesn't make my eyes sting. [It] wears nicely through out the day didn't smudge once set."

Highly pigmented and long-lasting, Trish McEvoy's Intense Gel Eye Liner is one of the best on the market (Psst... The hype is real!) The liner's waterproof, ultra-creamy formula glides onto the skin without tugging or skipping for a flawless application every time.

Customer Review: "This eye liner is perfect for your water line. It only takes one application and goes on in its full color. I have tried many other liners but never had one work this well. It is well worth the money."

If a sleek, sharp wing is what you're after, try using Chantecaille's Le Stylo Ultra Slim. The eyeliner pen features a fine brush tip that keeps your lines looking clean with control and precision. Its formula is also ophthalmologist approved, water-resistant, and extremely long-lasting.

Customer Review: "This is the best eyeliner. It's a doodle to use and smudges nicely for a smokey effect or stays sharp for definition. The brown flatters my blue eyes, and it's the one [makeup product] I use every day to make my eyes look more defined. Easily the best eye liner I've ever used."

Almay's Crayon Contour Eyeliner Pencil was created specifically for sensitive eyes but is also clean, cruelty-free, and fragrance-free. Its creamy, water-resistant formula doesn't skip, snag, or fade throughout the day and is self-sharpening for ultra-crisp lines.

Customer Review: "I like this Almay Crayon Contour Water Resistant Eyeliner Pencil because it does not smear if my eyes water. I have allergies, so my eyes are always watering. The eyeliner stays on without smearing all over the place."

Using a waterproof eyeliner is a surefire way to make sure your eye makeup looks flawless all day. Bonus points if the formula doesn't irritate your eyes. One of my favorites is this liquid eyeliner by Thrive Causemetics because it glides onto the skin and dries down quickly with intense pigments and a feather-free brush tip.

Customer Review: "This is by far the best eyeliner I've ever purchased. Not only does it stay on, but it glides on smoothly and sufficiently in one stroke, which saves time and supply."

Tower 28 Beauty's creamy, high-pigment, nondrying OneLiner can be used as a long-wearing eyeliner as well as a lip liner and cheek pencil. Crafted using moisturizing marula oil and shea butter, it glides onto the skin without tugging or dragging.

Customer Review: "I only use these as lip liners but they are incredible for just that! Super creamy and pigmented, easy application, and stay on for hours. Not drying at all."

For eyeliner that's comfortable to wear but also offers high-impact color, use a pencil like Hourglass's Voyeur Waterproof Gel Eyeliner. It's designed with a creamy, mineral-free formula that doesn't smudge, bleed, or fade with up to 12 hours of wear. Plus, it comes in five eye-catching and fashion-forward shades.

Customer Review: "I have always struggled to find the right eyeliners. My eyelids tend to transfer the color up into the creases, and it looks awful at the end of the night. This doesn't. Love the color too. Subtle for blending."

Clearly, I'm a big fan of Bobbi Brown's eyeliner offerings. Another one of my must-haves, the Long-Wear Waterproof Liner offers opaque, dense pigments in a silky, smooth formula that's gentle on the eyes, making it perfect for tightlining and strong enough to stay put until you're ready to remove it.

Customer Review: "I love this brow pencil! It's got a very fine tip so it's easy to create tiny lines to mimic eye brown hairs, and get precision detail. I love that I don't have to sharpen it, and the brush at the other end. It last all day, and is a perfect brow pencil."

Beginners, this one is for you! Milk Makeup's twist-up eyeliner pencil helps you create limitless looks with a creamy formula infused with avocado oil, ceramides, and aloe vera extract to soothe and nourish the lash line with a smooth, tug-free application.

Customer Review: "I'm pretty impressed. The liner went on smooth and lasted all day. I did not notice any smudging. It was also very easy to take off with soap and water. I went back and bought a second one as a backup!"

Here's another Chantecaille eyeliner find that can be used to create chic eye looks. Drawing inspiration from the texture and colors of Fortuny silks, this product has a transfer-proof and long-wearing formula, offering major color payoff and shine. It's also free of fragrance, mineral oil, and parabens.

Customer Review: "This is a lovely consistency, very creamy and pigmented but does not transfer. It is my favorite eyeliner as it feels in between a liquid/cream and a pencil in terms of its color payoff (can be smudged but also can be used for a more clean line). Would completely recommend."

Applying product to the waterline on sensitive eyes is made easy with this e.l.f. classic. Available in three versatile shades, this water-resistant, retractable eyeliner has a rich, creamy formula that offers intense color and a matte finish. Did I mention it's also smudge-resistant and incredibly long-lasting?

Customer Review: "This is one of the best eyeliners I've used. I've tried so many through a makeup subscription, and this outshined a ton of high end liners, no problem. It's easy to apply, glides on, and stays put. Rich color as well. Cannot beat it, especially at this price point."

If you love a colorful liner moment, you'll want to add this long-lasting gel eyeliner pencil to your makeup lineup ASAP. The Mineralist Eyeliner's waterproof formula is clean, mineral based, and richly pigmented. It is safe for use on the waterline and will stay put for 12 hours.

Customer Review: "Finally, a retractable soft eye liner pencil that goes on VERY smoothly, with no 'pulling,' no breaking of the lead, and a retractable mechanism that actually works well. Will most definitely reorder!"

To round out this list, I have the Caviar Tightline Eyeliner. Formulated with rich pigments, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and vitamins, this gel-like eyeliner effortlessly glides onto the skin and can be used to tightline and line the waterline as desired.

Customer Review: "Laura Mercier does it again with luxe, creamy eyeliner. Caviar is a super rich with max color payoff. Glides on so smooth and stays put until you want it gone… even during allergy season!
