Welcome, Lykkers! A good eyeliner isn't just about creating the perfect wing—it's about trusting that the line you drew in the morning will still be there hours later.

If you're tired of checking the mirror every few hours for smudges, these two waterproof eyeliners deserve a closer look. Each has its own personality, and that's exactly why I enjoyed using both.

ESQA Waterproof Intense Eyeliner in Black

There are mornings when I don't have time to carefully build up my eyeliner, so I appreciate products that work well from the very first swipe. ESQA's Waterproof Intense Eyeliner delivers a deep black finish instantly, making my eyes look more defined without much effort.

The pencil glides smoothly instead of tugging at the eyelid, which makes drawing along the lash line surprisingly comfortable. I also found it flexible enough for different styles. Some days I kept the line soft and subtle, while on other occasions I smudged it slightly for a smokier effect before it set.

Somethinc Forever Stay Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner

Whenever I want a sharp, polished makeup look, I naturally reach for a liquid liner. Somethinc Forever Stay Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner made that process much less stressful because the slim applicator felt easy to control, even when creating a precise wing. Instead of skipping or looking uneven, the pigment flowed consistently from start to finish. Once dry, the formula stayed exactly where I applied it. Long workdays, outdoor activities, and humid weather didn't seem to affect its clean finish very much.

I also liked that it didn't leave my eyelids feeling tight, which can happen with some waterproof liquid eyeliners. It simply stayed comfortable while keeping everything neat.

Finding an eyeliner that actually lasts can feel like a small victory. If you're thinking about refreshing your makeup collection, either of these could become a dependable everyday favorite. And now I'm curious—which type do you usually prefer: a classic pencil or a precise liquid liner?
