The Great Eyeliner Swatch Post
I was bored and didn’t feel like working on my project today, so I did the smart thing and swatched all my pencil eyeliners instead. I also added a short comment for each product.
- A: Milani Liquif’Eye Metallic Eye Liner in Silver (~$7.99 for 0.04 oz) – Bright metallic silver. Very smooth application with no skipping. Opaque with one pass.
- B-C: TARINA TARANTINO Eye Dream Highlight Hyperliner in Cute Robot and Spark of Envy ($15 for 0.04 oz) – Dark, purple-toned navy blue and shimmery teal green. Smooth application with no skipping. Requires two passes or pressing harder to get intense color.
- D-E: COVERGIRL Liquiline Blast in Blue Boom and Green Glow (~$7.99 for 0.033 oz) – Bright true blue and acid green. Smooth application with no skipping. Interestingly, despite the fact that these shades are much brighter than the others featured here, I don’t feel like they’re as intense. They seem kind of ‘dull’, comparatively speaking.
- F: Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Rockstar ($19 for 0.04 oz) – Red-toned plum. Has a creamier smoothness. Requires two passes for full opacity. I’m actually not a huge fan of this formula, though I love the shade.
- G-L: Prestige Total Intensity Eyeliner in Deepest Black, Fierce Blue, Powerful Purple, Intense Olive, Daring Green, and Fearless Teal ($5.50 for 0.04 oz) - Prestige eyeliners are some of my favorites, especially since they’re super cheap. All of them are extremely smooth and opaque with one pass. The shimmery colors are lovely and Deepest Black is the darkest matte black I own.
- M: Revlon Grow Luscious Lashliner in Onyx (~$8.99 for 0.04 oz) – The second darkest matte black of the bunch, second only to Prestige Deepest Black. Smooth and creamy with a slight waxy drag, but not enough to cause tugging. It can be used as a waterproof eyeliner but I prefer using it for its intended purpose of emphasizing my lash line.
- N: SEPHORA COLLECTION Flashy Liner Waterproof in Deep Black ($8 for 0.04 oz) – Matte black. Smooth application and pretty good wear. Not entirely opaque with one pass. It also comes in a lot of much brighter shades.
- O: SEPHORA COLLECTION Kohl Waterproof Eyeliner in Deep Black ($9 for 0.04 oz) - Smooth, creamy kohl black. Nice basic kohl liner for use on the waterline.
- P-Q: NYX Slide-On Pencil in Tropical Green and Golden Bronze (~$8 for 0.04 oz) - Deep jungle green and metallic reddened copper. Very smooth and creamy with good color opacity.
- R: NYC Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in Teal (~$3.99 for 0.036 oz) – Deep, dusky teal-green with mild shimmer. Smooth, creamy, and pigmented, though it fails as a waterproof liner. Notably better than the other shades in this line, which I wouldn’t waste your time on.
