Those of you who are saying “I can’t imagine paying that much for an eye liner pencil!” – never fear. Because of its small selection of colors, we had to rank Dior #2, but we love it anyway. Naturally, you’ll need a strong makeup remover to get it off, but that’s a small sacrifice for a great eyeliner pencil. One layer will normally be somewhat opaque, and a second layer will make the liner fully opaque and good for the day (and night). ![]() There are not many colors of this Dior eye pencil available, but they’re all vibrant and gorgeous, from the black and blue to the green and brown. The product is smooth and simply glides on, remaining soft for 30 seconds for adjustments or blending, and then setting perfectly. For those of us who give their eyeliner more “normal” use, it’s simply not going to budge. We don’t have allergies, but even those who do say that their continually-watering eyes don’t make a dent on the Dior Impact. This highly pigmented eyeliner is just about the “most waterproof” and long-lasting product you’ll ever find. Nevertheless, this is one terrific eye liner pencil. The Dior is even less expensive than the Urban Decay, and it’s not available in the many shades that the UD product comes in. Since we decided to include a #2 and #3 on this list, we might as well go through with it. It shouldn’t bother you either your $20 will be well-spent. That didn’t bother Allure when it was giving out its Best of Beauty awards, or any of the dozens of other magazines and websites that agree on the complete superiority of this pencil. Other than that, the only argument against this eye liner pencil is its $20 price tag. ![]() The two things to be cautious of are that the Urban Decay goes on quite “dark” because of its pigmentation, and that it can be somewhat difficult to remove. Bottom line: it’s eye-friendly as well as eye-beautiful. What it doesn’t contain are sulfates, parabens or phthalates. It can also be used for “play.” A full 50% of the UD’s ingredients are moisturizers like jojoba and cottonseed oil, and it also contains Vitamin E. Even better, it’s available in more than three dozen different colors ranging from tropical to vibrant, including ones that are shimmery and metallic, so it’s not just a tool for your everyday makeup. This pencil is tough and seemingly impossible to break, but it does need to be handled carefully and sharpened regularly for best results. That makes it ideal for creating looks (like a smoky eye) which need to be “just right.” The eyeliner has a consistency that’s user-friendly, though it doesn’t require you to put down layer after layer, and it’s easily able to be smudged and corrected up to 30 seconds after application before it dries. ![]() It’s highly pigmented and truly waterproof, able to stand up to water and sweat (as well as tears if necessary) for hours on end without running, and perfect for use on the waterline. We’ll start with the fact that you could probably stand directly under the shower all day while wearing the Urban Decay 24/7, and still not have your eyeliner run, crease or smudge. (Of course we could have, since we make the rules, but you know what we mean.) This eye liner pencil is simply fabulous. If we could have ranked this Urban Decay product #1, #2 and #3, we would have.
