8 Long-Lasting Eyeliners For Watery Eyes

by Emily McClure

For those of us with watery eyes, finding eyeliner that is long-lasting can be a nightmare. Either the formulas are too drying or the product just wipes right off. It's completely frustrating. Don't waste your time on products that don't work for you. Reach for long-wear liners instead. No matter how watery your eyes get, defend your line with smudge-proof, water resistant formulas. Eye makeup streaks are a thing of the past. There is no more excuses for winged liner that fades away. Beautiful eye makeup is always on trend, and now it's attainable for those of us with troublesome eyes.

Whether you prefer pencil, gel, or liquid liners, there is a product out there for you that will keep your eyes defined all day long. No tricks or tips required. Just apply and go about your day. No matter if you're battling a windy commute or a stuffy office, these options will go the distance against your tear-filled eyes. So, put away those cotton swabs and tissue papers. There won't be any streaks today – just beautifully rimmed eyes. Wondering what will stay put on your lids? Here are a few of my favorite long-lasting eyeliners that hold up against watery eyes.
