10 Cool-as-Chrome Metallic Eyeliners to Try

The Best Metallic Eyeliners

Maybelline New York TattooStudio Sharpenable Gel Pencil in Sparkling Silver

Get a graphic, chromecore eye with this high-shine silver pencil. The waterproof formula is long-lasting and creamy, so it will glide across your lid without tugging and stay put all day (seriously, this liner can last for up to 36 hours!). 

Urban Decay 24/7 Inks Liquid Eyeliner in Deep End

Love the 24/7 Glide-On Eyeliner Pencils? Then you need to try the brand’s liquid counterpart. The 24/7 Inks Liquid Eyeliners come in three shimmery shades, including Deep End, a moody teal. With a subtle metallic sheen, this liner will give your wing an edgy, wet leather effect. The ergonomic handle and pen-like tip are specifically designed to make eyeliner application smooth and hassle-free.

Lancôme Drama Liqui-Pencil Dramatic Eyeliner in Purple Cabaret

These pencils are the perfect mix of pigmented, blendable and long-lasting. When you first apply them, their velvety consistency is easy to blend out into a smoky eye, but once they’re set, they’re completely budge-proof. Purple Cabaret is one of our favorite shades, especially on brown eyes. 

NYX Professional Makeup Epic Wear Waterproof Eyeliner Stick in Rose Gold

At about $10 per pencil, you’ll be tempted to snatch up more than one of these long-wearing, waterproof eyeliners. You can find them in a range of 33 shades, from cheerful pinks and blues to classic metallics like this versatile rose gold. 

L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Last Waterproof Pencil Eyeliner in Bronze

If you rarely stray from your go-to black or brown eyeliner, bronze is an easy way to switch up your routine without straying too far from your comfort zone. This one lasts up to 24 hours without smudging and is gentle enough to use along your waterline.

NYX Professional Makeup Epic Wear Metallic Liquid Liner in Fuchsia Metal

For eye-catching shine and vibrant color payoff, look no further than this range of metallic liquid liners. The liquid-gel formula won’t crack, fade or bleed all day. Fuchsia Metal is a daring hot pink chrome, but we also love shades like Black Metal (metallic black) and Teal Metal. 

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in Yeyo

Of course this fan-favorite eyeliner made our list. For an instantly doe-eyed, brightened effect, try placing this pearly white pencil along your waterline. With a buttery consistency and 24-hour weartime (plus over 35 shades to pick from) this formula is more than worthy of its cult-fave status. 

Danessa Myricks Beauty Infinite Chrome Waterproof Micropencil in Morganite

You’ve heard of a duochrome shift — now meet multichrome. These futuristic pencils from Danessa Myricks Beauty have a multicolored shift that reveals a new hue in every light. From Amethyst, a muted magenta with an olive green shift to crystalline pastels like Morganite, a rosy pink that glows gold in the sunlight, there’s a shade for everyone. 

Thrive Causemetics Brilliant Eye Brightener in Callie

Part eyeliner, part eyeshadow pencil, this cream-to-powder stick gives eyelids a subtle wash of color and shimmer. Callie is a soft greige shade that you can wear alone for a subtle daytime eye or pair with a smudged-out black shadow for a soft smoky look.

GXVE BEAUTY Line It Up 24HR Gel Liner in Blacktop

Blacktop is a glimmering gunmetal shade that adds a touch of shine to a standard smoky eye. It’s cruelty-free, vegan and waterproof, with a formula that stays put even on oily eyelids, according to reviewers.
