Eyeliners For Oily Lids

Sephora customers often prefer the following products when searching for Eyeliners For Oily Lids.

Eyeliners can be tricky to use, especially for those with oily eyelids. Oily eyelids can cause eyeliner to smudge, run, and fade quickly, making it difficult to achieve the desired look. Fortunately, there are several types of eyeliners available that are specifically designed to be used on oily lids. Here are some of our favorites.

I read some reviews but I truly think people are not using it correctly. with any pen liner, it helps to keep it stored upside down in your brush jar to keep the tip saturated with ink. make the sure the lid stays on and if it does get dry while applying, put the lid back on, shake the pen and try again. as for oily lids or transferring, use an eyeshadow primer or put an eyeshadow that is similar to your skin tone to absorb the oil. you can't just use liner and nothing else on the lids and not expect transfer. also if your eyes water, just use a tissue to blot the tears that way it doesn't rub off....I was disappointed by the Stila cult favorite and Bobbi Brown gel liner. I have oily lids and was very impressed by how smoothly the line goes on the lid.

What it is:
A long-wearing, waterproof liquid liner enriched with ultra-black pigments for the darkest, most dramatic definition.

What it does:
This waterproof formula dries quickly to prevent smudging and transfer for all-day wear.

It delivers the perfect amount of ultra-black formula in every stroke, making it easy to use for novices and experts alike.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates

Yes for oily lids...I've tried so many other eyeliners recommend for oily lids and within 5 minutes I would always look like a racoon. ...Really nice looking, goes on great, looks perfect, BUT definitely not for oily eyelids.

Why is it so hard to find a liquid eyeliner in brown??...The brown one leans very reddish brown and if i don’t shake it before using it, then it actually dried red on my lids! Very odd and I’ve used this eyeliner before, the shade definitely looked different than what I remembered
