They aren't the absolute cheapest ($12) but they work well . I tend to use the deep brown,or the steely most of the time. They also have a violet one ( tried good<br /> )and some sharpenable pencil style ones ( new haven't tried yet) . The brand is 100% guaranteed ,so if you don't like it !it gets damaged etc . you can send it back for a full refund. I don't sell it ,though Mom used to . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drugstore-eyeliner-recs/page/2#post-1215319 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 02:57:05 +0000 Annie 1215319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have oily skin, so pencil eyeliners just don't have any&nbsp;staying power. Liquid eyeliners do a much better job at defining the&nbsp;eyes compared to pencils. I use Maybelline Line Stiletto and love it. It goes on evenly without smudges. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drugstore-eyeliner-recs/page/2#post-1214932 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 18:24:17 +0000 keruchina 1214932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second the Prestige Total Intensity eyeliner. It's a great Urban Decay 24/7 gel glide on dupe. The Kohl ones are not as good, in my opinion.</p> <p>If you like gel liners, the E.L.F. ones are good. I used to use that but lately have been too lazy to be bothered with a separate brush, etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>I <b>do not&nbsp;</b>recomend that Milani liquid liner. I had read good reviews, too, but it goes on super uneven and I had to apply two coats, which was frustrating.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drugstore-eyeliner-recs/page/2#post-1214789 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 14:42:25 +0000 neonginger 1214789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I send the E.L.F. eyeliners and brow kits.

That way I don't have to go to Target, then CVS, then Walgreens to find that one eyeliner and that one face cream and that one shade of nail polish. They've got free shipping on orders over $35, so I just restock on the basics every month or two and add in whatever new item I'm looking for. Not affiliated, just a happy customer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drugstore-eyeliner-recs#post-1214005 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 14:28:44 +0000 Mo 1214005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could very well be that the liquid got old, too. &nbsp;Biglots is overstocks and such. &nbsp;<br />I think I'll try the twist up kind again, but FRESH this time ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drugstore-eyeliner-recs#post-1214002 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 14:25:30 +0000 Emily 1214002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that is too bad, Mo! &nbsp;My rec is for the twist-up pencil type, and I will make a mental note to stay away from the liquid. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drugstore-eyeliner-recs#post-1213996 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 14:11:59 +0000 texstyle 1213996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another one who uses Almay intense i-color in purple amethyst - and never used the sharpener.

It's a twist-up with a good life span. The color is a purply brown--makes sense when they use raisin in the name. Same deal as the Cover Girl in that they intend it for green eyes.</p> <p>At the drugstore level I've also had great luck with NYX. It used to be fairly hard to find but CVS just started carrying it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drugstore-eyeliner-recs#post-1213477 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 20:32:22 +0000 Mo 1213477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have seen ELF at BigLots . . . not sure I've ever seen Annabelle in any stores FL or Cali. &nbsp;JAileen, I think the Almay and Cover Girl colored lines are a similar thing. &nbsp;I may have just let mine sit too darn long honestly. &nbsp;Will have to 'size up' what's out there next time I hit Walgreen's, CVS or Kmart. &nbsp;My shopping selection really is the pits, isn't it?? &nbsp;:P </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drugstore-eyeliner-recs#post-1213459 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 19:55:25 +0000 JAileen 1213459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use Almay intense i-color in purple amethyst.

I love their stuff and it's super-affordable. I think that they are only at Target, not 100% sure about that. I've purchased both the waterproof eyeliner pen, which is quick for everyday (store it upside down so it doesn't dry out) and the gel pot eyeliners, which are longer lasting but take a bit longer since they have a separate brush. I assume they also have 'regular' pencils as well; haven't tried them myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drugstore-eyeliner-recs#post-1213440 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 19:29:32 +0000 Parsley 1213440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>E.L.F. eyeliner comes highly recommended.

The pencil looks like it only comes in black, brown, and gray, though. I'm not sure if the gray is purpley at all.</p> <p>But... I absolutely love the Stila liquid liner pen at around $20; it lasts for at least 6 months if not longer. I'm not sure I could go back to a pencil. </p>
