A cream eyeliner is the best of both worlds because it’s moisturizing but easy to apply. The Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long Lasting Eyeline is just that, while also offering a waterproof and smudge-proof finish. There's nothing worse than looking in the mirror and realizing your eyeliner has either completely vanished or is giving you serious raccoon eyes. But finding a good waterproof liner can be tricky: It has to go on easily and smoothly (no flaking or stickiness, please!) and stay put through any and every workout, Nicholas Sparks movie and summer swim, yet massage stones near me can be removed fairly easily without pain, rubbing or lost lashes. A tall order. Pencil is the traditional eyeliner format, and it’s what most people think of when they think of eyeliner. Applying pencil eyeliner requires the least technique and can give you the most control. You just uncap and draw it on. They’re easy to smudge for a diffuse, smoky look. If you want to keep an eyeliner around for throwing on in a pinch or drawing on using a compact mirror in a bumpy passenger seat or on the subway, it’s going to be a pencil eyeliner. These pencils were traditionally made of wax and pigment, but chemical advances have led to skin-safe silicones and more complex formulas that can last a lot longer.
