Eyeliner has been used for thousands of years, and it remains a popular and failsafe option today. A true makeup bag staple, the classic feline flick, for example, has long been a regular in TV, movies, and magazines alike.

The best eyeliner products are very versatile, and since the invention of liquid eyeliner in the 1950s, you can choose from scores of different types. There’s everything from both smudgy and budge-proof pencil options to pen, gel and classic liquid liners. Whether you prefer just a little added definition, an eye-catching wing or something graphic that’s more of a statement, the possibilities with eyeliner are almost endless.
