When it comes to eyeliner, we’re admittedly picky. There is nothing worse than a smudged line, flaky formula, or sticky application. Plus, we’re not always entirely dexterous. We need a product that will make it easy—with an easy-to-use applicator, a simple-to-hold pen, and, preferably, a waterproof offering so it won’t budge …
