Blinc Eyeliner Pencil in Black is a gel-like eyeliner pencil that glides across the skin effortlessly without any tugging or discomfort. It deposits color evenly, is waterproof and budge-proof, but it is gentle on my sensitive eyes. I have only tried their black eyeliner and can attest to the fact that it is richly pigmented and ultra-smooth. The retractable, twist-up, pencil has a sharper built into the bottom, and it allows you to sharpen it to a fine point if you prefer working your liner into your lash-line. While the formula is creamy, it dries down and won't smear everywhere. Whether you prefer a defined, sharp or smokey look, this eyeliner delivers. If you are looking for a really good cruelty-free eyeliner pencil, this one is definitely worthy of your consideration!

INGLOT AMC Gel Liner No 77 ($16.00 for 5.5 g/0.19 oz. from INGLOT, Beautylish, Camera Ready and Macy's): I have actually been using gel liners from INGLOT for years because they are utterly superb. They offer serious opaque pigmentation, glide across the lids effortlessly, deposit color evenly, and they are smudge-proof, crease-proof, sweat-proof and transfer-proof. If you have particularly oily eye lids, then you may want to use a primer, and while I don't have oily eye lids I have found no need to use a primer. No. 77 is an intense deep black with a very flattering matte finish that is hypoallergenic, and waterproof. I should note that I have rather sensitive eyes, and I find many waterproof formulas harsh and unforgiving. However, that simply is not the case with this gel liner, and I can wear it all day without any irritation or redness whatsoever.
According to INGLOT,
High intensity pigments provide ideal coverage and rich colors after just one application. The creamy and delicate long lasting formula dries to a long-lasting, smudge proof, and crease proof finish.
How to Use: Dip an eyeliner brush into the pot and glide it across the upper and lower lashline. Note: To maintain your Eyeliner Gel’s freshness, keep the foil liner partially attached. If the product dries out, moisten it with a few drops of Duraline.

Jane Iredale Mystikol Powdered Eyeliner in Onyx, which is a jet black water-resistant powder/cream eyeliner, is housed in an innovative pot with a long neck that stores a built-in brush. The liner has the texture of a gel eyeliner with a silky-smooth texture that glides across the skin effortlessly and deposits color evenly. You can use it as a shadow for an easy smoky eye, or as a liner for an effortless cat eye, but I have only used it as a liner. To line the eyes, I simply use the brush that is provided on its edge or tip, and it applies the liner perfectly. The tip is fine enough that it is easy get right into the lash line with ease. The flat sides of the brush, while not very wide, can be used to apply Mystikol Powdered Eyeliner to the lid as a shadow. The water-resistant formula offers long-wear without fading, creasing, smearing, flaking or migrating, but if you have particularly oily eyelids, you may want to use a primer.
According to Jane Iredale,
Create the sexy look you love with new improved Mystikol Powdered Eyeliners! The built-in brush makes a perfect line or smudged-out smoky eye. The powder/cream formula makes a shadow that won’t fade, crease or smear.

KINX Gel Eyeliner ($15.00 each from KINX): Eyeliners have always been among my very favorite categories of makeup, and that has been true since I was a teenager (when eyeliner and lip gloss was the only makeup that I would wear). For me, the benchmarks of an exquisite eye liner, notwithstanding finding the perfect color, has always been about its smooth and creamy consistency coupled with smudge-proof longevity. KINX Gel Eyeliners are smooth and creamy gels that glide across the skin effortlessly, deposit color evenly and they are ultra-pigmented. Each of the three shades– Cream, Syrup and Black– do not flake, migrate, smudge or transfer once they set. They have the tenacity of waterproof eyeliners, but without the harshness that often irritates sensitive eyes. When I wear KINX Gel Eyeliners they last all day long without any fading or smudging, and they only come off when I remove them.
Cream is a peachy pink with luminescence.
Syrup is a deep and rich brown.
Black is a deep and rich black.
KINX Gel Eyeliners are conveniently retractable, and they feature a removable built-in sharpener.
According to KINX,
You can tell a lot about someone through their eyes. Which is why our gel eyeliner isn’t just sweat proof. It’s also smudge proof.
