Editors' Pick Winner: Cover FX Shimmer Veil
Why: Shimmery liquid eyeshadows are having something of a moment. This formula is so glittery, long-wearing and easy to use that you'll find yourself falling in love at first swipe.
Honorable Mention: L'Oreal Paris Infallible Paints Metallics Eyeshadow
Readers' Choice Winner: M.A.C. Eye Shadow
Why: MAC eyeshadows are my favorite. I love the wide palette of colors — they have colors available that I haven't even dreamed of. They are very blendable and wear a fairly long time. Best of all, though, is that each one lasts forever and doesn't fade.

Editors' Pick Winner: It Cosmetics Superhero Liner
Why: This eyeliner is a dream to apply. The hourglass-shaped design fits perfectly in your hand, allowing you to draw the skinniest or boldest designs that hug the eye line.

Honorable Mention: Wunder2 Super-Stay Liner
Readers' Choice Winner: Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner
Why: So many eyeliners brag about their "stay all day!" quality but this product by Stila legitimately doesn't budge. I've worn it in swimming pools, to sweaty nightclubs, even in the ocean. Once you put it on, this product is here to stay and, better yet, the pen itself lasts a long time.
