10 Worst EyelinersEven the cheapest of these smudging, bleeding, pain-inducing eyeliners (one costs a mere $1) aren't worth the money |
No. 9: Physicians Formula Eye Definer Felt-Tip Eye Marker, $6.95 TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 6.5*
Why: For one reader who has used a range of eyeliners, from the "super cheap to department store-priced eyeliners, this eyeliner is the worst." The marker tip "feels rough on the eyes" and for another woman, it "[dries] out before I even get to finish lining my eyes" and it "flakes off, leaving little black dots all over" her face. This eyeliner is "almost impossible to use over any kind of eyeshadow" since "the tip drags along [the lid] and picks up shadow" as it is being used. Color payout is also an issue, as many find the color "watered down" and the black version "not dark enough," leaving a "light line that is barely noticeable" for an eyeliner that's supposed to be "ultra black."

Don't care for how it makes my eyes look. I also tried a million times using on my waterline and it seems to collect quickly in the corners of my eyes. My eyes have a lot of water it seems.

I disagree with the lava eyeliner from too faced. I actually do enjoy the product, I just feel as if it is overpriced.

The Maybelline Waterproof Liquid Liner is the absolute worst! The brush has feather-like bristles that makes it hard to use and the formula itself has a thin, runny consistency. A total waste of money.
