18 Waterproof Eyeliners That Stand Up to Anything

This one is an editor favorite for good reason. Its inky onyx pops on every skin tone, and it stays put forever. Okay, not forever, but pretty damn close.

When it comes to line control, a thin paintbrush/marker tip is ideal for effortless wings and lines that don’t have to worry about any smearing. While this liner needs at least 30 seconds to set, the long-lasting effect and dark pigment are worth the wait.

This liner takes tattoo to a literal meaning. Let us remind you of Shelby (@coffeecatsandcusswrds), who after getting in a car accident proved via Instagram in 2017 that this liquid eyeliner really does hold up through it all.

Some shimmery eyeshadows can cause fallout after a couple hours, but this unbudging option makes a bold, sparkly shade stay put all day and night.

Give this liner a good shake before applying for a streak-free application that gets even the trickiest corners because of its thin bristles and point. No matter how long your cat eye is, the pigment payoff lasts without needing to go back and fill in bare spots.

While not a traditional eyeliner, the about-face shadow sticks DO. NOT. BUDGE. Perfect for waterline highlights, or a jeweled tone lower lash, the vegan formula won’t cause irritation or any flaky color. Pigmented colors are available in pearlescent and matte formulas, both made to resist sweat, water, and even oily skin.

The waterproof makeup game is better than ever, and Caliray is proof of that. Their gel formula offers smooth application while the rounded top allows for easy design control. As a reminder, keep the cap on after use to avoid any drying. Caliray also has an equally amazing waterproof mascara for full lashes to pair with their waterproof eyeliners, so go ahead, cry it out.

If you're going for a Mad Men vibe on Saturday night, reach for this inky option. It's jet black, precise, and won't budge no matter how much dancing you do.

Yes, the whole pot-and-brush combo can feel like a feat reserved only for makeup artists and the Kardashians. But trust me when I say a brush is surprisingly easier to control than a stiff pencil tip if a minimal look is what you're going for. Plus, this formula is incredibly pigmented, meaning even the thinnest of lines will read like a statement.

A twist-up top and built-in liner makes this product a look in a tube. If you're feeling bold, try a floating line. This formula isn't going anywhere, no matter how oily your lids.

The tip on this liquid option makes application almost too easy. Tightline right up against the lashes for imperceptible definition, or wing it out for some drama.

Filling in a major cat eye can often reveal patchy coverage, but this inky fluid is blacker than black and its payoff is the best in the biz.

A simple defining smudge of brown into the waterline can change the game when it comes to no makeup-makeup days, and this one's gel texture makes it glide on like butter.

This formula has highly concentrated pigments suspended in a clear gel base, which makes the color crazy intense and durable. You're going to need to double cleanse this one off, and we mean that as high praise.

Technically this is a multi-use product, but this pot contains super-pigmented formula that can create sharp lines and pretty smudges with a few strokes.

If you don't think you can pull off liner this bright, I'm here to tell you you can. Use the precision tip to make baby wing (this fluid flows really easily, in the best way) and you've got a runway-ready makeup situation on your hands.

You can get a lot done in 24 hours, all while wearing this bad boy, because that's how long this formula lasts. Plus, its built-in sharpener makes it easy to bring on-the-go.

Meet the best of both worlds: This dual-ended eyeliner has a clay-based pencil tip on one end for a smudgy, softer look, and a satin-finish felt tip on the other end for a cleaner, more precise finish. Regardless of the side you choose, you’ll get budge-proof lines for 12 hours straight.
