STILA! I loved the super easy applicator of the liquid liner.  The best I have ever used.  It is impossible to mess this up! Fool proof beauty routines are a merrymaker's best friend!  I use it every day now and I am so obsessed with its perfection.  I think second place would be the bareMinerals liner.

Beauty Feature: On Your Mark! Round Five

ON YOUR MARK! A five part beauty feature taking us on the journey of finding the ULTIMATE eyeliner.
The Contenders: {Round Five} 5. TARTE SmolderEYES Amazonian Clay Waterproof Eyeliner (in Plum)

The Tarte liner is a thicker, crayon liner that comes with a smudging stick on the other end.  I love the purple color, and I don't normally go for the colored liners!  I think it makes my eyes greener, and the thickness of the crayon is easy for application.  All in all, it smudges like a champ and stayed in place all day!  Plus side: Vitamin E and mineral pigments give this liner a boost!

 4. bareMinerals Round The Clock Waterproof Eyeliner

I had never used bareMinerals products before, so I had no clue how I would feel about this eyeliner.  I know they are proud of their minimal coverage foundation and the shake shake tap of the brush or whatever.  On to the eyeliner... it was a creamy, smooth application that really impressed me!  It gave really good coverage and lasted ALL DAY.  They name this eyeliner very accurately.  Like a few of the past products I have tried during this feature, this eyeliner has no parabens or sulfates or any of that bad junk!  Now I won't think twice about trying more bareMinerals products.

Beauty Feature: On Your Mark! Round Three

3.  Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Pencil in Perversion

I am obsessed with black eyeliners, and this was reviewed as being the blackest black you can get.  Also, the fact that it was matte was alluring.  I definitely love the color and pigment of the eye shadow, but it smudged a tiny bit more than the previous two eyeliners.  It stays soft for blending for about 30 seconds before drying and staying all day, so if you are a fan of the smoky eye- this is an ideal eyeliner for you!  My only complaint is that it is a REALLY soft pencil so you have to sharpen it frequently, and it did not sharpen evenly for me.  Just a little pet peeve!  Any thoughts on Urban Decay?
Coming Soon
 Round Four: bareMinerals

Beauty Feature: On Your Mark! Round Two

ON YOUR MARK! A five part beauty feature taking us on the journey of finding the ULTIMATE eyeliner. The Contenders: {Round Two}

2. Smashbox Jet Set Water Proof Eyeliner (in Deep Black) The only gel eyeliner in the group, I wanted to give a highly reviewed gel a fair chance.  It's very smooth to apply, almost like a cream.  Honestly, it seems like a tad more work to apply this evenly because its not as dark as some eyeliners.  Although, when working with a brush it is easier to get close to the brow line.  It lasted all day and did not smudge or end up under my eyes which is something I have experienced with previous gel eyeliners. | Did you miss it? |  Round One: Stila Coming Soon  Round Three: Urban Decay

Beauty Feature: On Your Mark! Round One

ON YOUR MARK! A five part beauty feature taking us on the journey of finding the ULTIMATE eyeliner. The Contenders: {Round One} 1. Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner (in Black)

Stila was the first one that I tried, and I immediately liked it.  It is the only liquid contender in the group and from the beginning it is LEAGUES above other liquids I have used in the past.  And trust me, I have tried them all.  It is SUPER user friendly and makes a great cat eye for the weekend merrymaking events.  I have to be honest, I was really impressed with this eyeliner because it lasted through a two hour migraine headache nap without smudging a smidge.  If I love all of the eyeliners this much, then I will definitely have a problem picking a winner. Coming Soon  Round Two: Smashbox
