You've probably heard a thing or two about tightlining, the makeup technique that sounds like a daring circus act but actually creates the illusion of darker, fuller lashes. While lining the inner rims of your eyes, a.k.a., the waterline, might sound tricky, using the right tools is the key to success. You don’t want to use just any eyeliner pen or pencil — a liner that suits a cat-eye, for example, might not be best for tightlining. Instead, you’re going to want to use a product with a rounded tip and a formula that glides on easily and then stays put. Ahead, find five of our favorites.
IT Cosmetics Superhero No-Tug Gel Eyeliner
This new formula was created with exclusive technology that gives the eyeliner a smooth texture, pigmented finish and all-day wear. Choose from eight shades, ranging from neutrals to jewel tones.
Maybelline New York Tattoo Studio Gel Pencil Longwear Eyeliner
This gel-like formula is the perfect match for tightlining because it’s long-lasting and smudge-proof — it won’t fade for a whopping 36 hours.
L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Satin Glide Eyeliner
This satin pencil glides on without tugging and is formulated with mineral pigments that are safe for sensitive eyes and are smudge-resistant. An ergonomic rubber grip allows for easy application.
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil
The 24/7 Glide-On pencil is one of our favorite tightlining tools because it comes in 40 shades. Whether you’re looking for a metallic sheen or opaque finish for a defined look, there’s a pencil in this range for you.
Giorgio Armani Smooth Silk Eye Pencil
For a luxe tightliner that will leave behind a silky finish, try this Smooth Silk Eye Pencil. It will give you an intense, precise line every time.
