The best eyeliners in the test 2024
1st place: The classic from Maybelline New York
The winner of our test and thus the best eyeliner in the salon is the "Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner" by Maybelline New York. This classic among eyeliners convinced us all along the line. The long-lasting formula guarantees a perfect eyeliner that lasts all day without smudging or smearing. The intense colour creates a stunning eye look and the brush is very precise, allowing for easy and clean application.
We were particularly impressed by the compatibility of the "Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner" with sensitive eyes. It has been ophthalmologically tested and is therefore also suitable for contact lens wearers. The eyeliner is available in different colours, so there is something for every taste and occasion. It is also very easy to use: simply dip the brush into the gel and apply to the eyelid.
In summary, the "Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner" by Maybelline New York is an absolute classic and our test winner. Its long-lasting formula, intense colour and precise application make it perfect for any occasion.
2nd place: The precise eyeliner from L'Oreal Paris
Second place goes to the "Superliner Perfect Slim" by L'Oreal Paris. With its extra-fine tip, it allows for very precise application and is therefore perfect for a delicate eyeliner or a cat-eye look. We were also impressed by the long durability.
3rd place: The kohl pencil by Rimmel London
Third place goes to the "Scandal'Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal" by Rimmel London. This kohl pencil is waterproof and lasts all day without smudging or smearing. We were also impressed by the intense black.
4th place: The Liquid Eyeliner by Manhattan
In fourth place we have the "Dip Eyeliner Waterproof" by Manhattan. This eyeliner convinced us with its long-lasting and waterproof formula. The brush is very fine and allows for easy application. However, it dries a little slower than the other products.
5th place: The Felt Tip Eyeliner by Catrice
Fifth place goes to the "Calligraph Ultra Slim Eyeliner Pen" by Catrice. The Felt-Tip applicator is very precise and allows for easy application. We were also impressed by the long durability. However, the colour is not as intense as the other products.

Step-by-step guide: How to draw the perfect eyeliner
Drawing a perfect eyeliner can be a challenge. But with a little practice and the right steps, anyone can draw a perfect eyeliner. Here are some tips on how to apply eyeliner:
Step 1: The preparation
Before applying eyeliner, make sure your eyelid is clean and dry. Remove any make-up residue and care for your skin to achieve a perfect result.
Step 2: The application
Start at the inner corner of the eye and draw the eyeliner outwards with small strokes along the upper lash line. The line should widen slightly towards the outside to achieve the perfect cat-eye look.
Step 3: The finishing
Draw the line to the end of the eye and let it fade out a little. Refine the line by tracing the end with a cotton bud or brush.
Step 4: The lower waterline
If you want to apply the eyeliner on the lower waterline, you should apply the pencil on the lower waterline. Start in the centre and draw small strokes to the outer corner of the eye.
Step 5: The mascara
Complete your look by adding a Mascara on your face. It opens the eye and makes the look radiant.
In summary, drawing a perfect eyeliner is not as difficult as it seems. With these steps and a little practice, anyone can draw a perfect eyeliner line. The important thing is to be patient and apply the eyeliner gradually.
