7 long-wearing eyeliners that absolutely won’t budge
Hardcore formulas that could prolly withstand a nuclear bomb
Hardcore formulas that could prolly withstand a nuclear bomb

For an ultra-sharp flick: Fenty Beauty Life Liner
Dhs110 at Sephora
There’s absolutely nothing we don’t love about this jet-black formula, from the sharp felt-tip style nib to the enhanced control that the slender packaging affords.
For brightening tired eyes: Inglot AMC Gel Liner
Dhs100 on Noon
There are plenty of bold shades to choose from, but we love the jet black Bonaparte for opening up the eye – it’s much for effective than a white pencil, which can look unrealistic.
For a bold wing: Sephora Collection Long Lasting Eyeliner
Dhs75 at Sephora
This eyeliner is ideal for drawing dramatic cat-eye flicks. It boasts a jet-black, almost vinyl-like finish, so is ideal if you don’t get on with super-matte formulas.
For longest-wearing formula: Huda Beauty Lifeliner Duo Pencil
Dhs115 at Sephora
Ok, so this liquid liner and smudge liner is pretty much life-proof. It’s quite inky, so application requires a steady hand, but the result once dry is a jet-black line that really doesn’t bleed, smudge or fade.
For balling on a budget: NYX Matte Liquid Liner
Dhs42 on Namshi
Budget eyeliners often fall short on their promises, but this one excels on all fronts. The paintbrush-style tip is effortless to control, while the liquid is highly pigmented, drying to a matte-black finish. Seriously impressed.
For tightlining the lashes: Hourglass Voyeur Waterproof Liquid Liner
Dhs182 at Sephora
This eyeliner features an ultra-slender tip that’s perfect for tightlining lashes and drawing slender, precise lines. Just like the original, this one will resist sweaty commutes and unexpected downpours with ease.
For a smokey finish: Estée Lauder Double wear Stsy-in-place Gel liner
Dhs142 on Ounass
A spring-ready classic black get liner that creates a wide-eyed effect when drawn along the top lashline, but most importantly, the gel-style stick is a cinch to apply ands stays put from sunrise to sundown.
