.::they got put to the test!!::.

I'm a big eyeliner fan! And being that we're already in April means we're getting closer to summer, which means water, beach, fun, and sometimes disappearing eyeliner. So rather than spend a few extra bucks on a "good" eyeliner and possibly be disappointed, I thought I'd do a little research to see which eyeliners could withstand the elements before I decided to spend my hard-earned money. Hopefully this can be beneficial to my fellow eyeliner lovers...

Here are the brands, name of the liner, and price:

1. Makeup Forever- Aqua Eyes-$18
2. NARS- Larger Than Life Long Wear Eyeliner- $24
3. Smashbox- Limitless Eyeliner- $19
4. Lancôme- Le Crayon Khol- $26
5. Stila- Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner- $20
6. Too Faced- Perfect Eyes Waterproof & Tearproof Eyeliner- $18
7. Benefit- BADgal Waterproof Liner- $20
8. Lorac- Front of the Line Pro- $23
9. Urban Decay- 24/7: Pencils That Last All Night- $19
10. Kat Von D-Tattoo Eyeliner- $18

Here is the photo just after applying the liners...

Here is a photo with 6 hours of rubbing on my long-sleeve sweater and one shower later...

And just for kicks, here's another photo after sleeping and one additional shower...

These are just a few brands that I tested and I know there are a lot of fantastic lines that have long-wear liners as well! Two more that I can vouch for, but unfortunately don't have photos of, are Inglot's AMC Eyeliner Gel ($12) and MAC's Prolongwear Eyeliner ($19.50). Both of which were put to the test on another occasion and passed with flying colors! So whether you're swimming, sweating, sleeping, or doing absolutely nothing at all, you can take comfort in knowing that those liners will still be on your eyelids! And hopefully these helped ease your 'I-want-an-amazing-eyeliner-but-don't-want-to-be-totally-let-down-and-waste-my-money' worries. If you have any feedback or questions, feel free to email me at idreamofhearts@gmail.com.
