If you dislike simultaneously cocking your head and crooking your wrist into awkward angles as you paint on your eyeliner, you might want to take this one out for a spin. The adjustable bent angle on the applicator helps make achieving that flawless winged eyeliner an ergonomic affair.
With a "micro" felt tip, this liner is easy to maneuver, making it a great pick for beginners. It applies smoothly and is great for creating subtle lines — though, of course, you can also build it up for a bolder look.
Like the Stila liner mentioned earlier, this is a tried-and-true cult favorite. It lives up to its name in terms of wear time and the ultra-fine brush tip is great for precision work. With a careful, steady hand, a flawless cat eye is completely within grasp.
How cool is this liquid eyeliner? Both the brush and the ink itself are inspired by Japanese calligraphy, which actually makes it especially well-suited to create that perfect (and effortless) winged eyeliner look. It's also pretty unique in that you can actually replace the ink cartridge when it's empty, like with a fountain pen.
This perennial favorite is another of the best eyeliners for beginners. It has a formula that's thin yet opaque, so it doesn't skip at all, and the flexible tapered brush tip is so easy to draw with that you'll feel like a pro, no matter what your cat eye-applying level is.
