6 WATERPROOF EYELINER OPTIONS FOR A SMUDGE-FREE LOOK

Why Waterproof Eyeliner is Essential for Makeup Enthusiasts

Waterproof eyeliner is indispensable in any makeup collection, especially given the diverse Canadian climate. Precision is key in eyeliner application, whether crafting a sleek cat eye or an adventurous graphic look. After investing time in your eyeliner, the last thing you want is for it to fade or smudge due to unexpected moisture.

High-quality waterproof eyeliners are designed to withstand sweat, rain, and the high humidity. For durability and ease of use, look for eyeliners that are not only waterproof but also bold in colour, effortless in application, and smudge-proof.

Gel Waterproof Eyeliner for Smooth Application

Gel liners, known for their creamy, richly pigmented texture, glide on effortlessly and are perfect for blending smokey looks. They strike a balance between the thickness of pencil liners and the fluidity of liquid options, typically housed in pots requiring a brush for application. However, some gel liners come with built-in applicators for added convenience and precision.

Our Epic Wear Metallic Liquid Liner, blending gel and liquid properties, includes an integrated brush-tip applicator. Available in six metallic shades, this liner promises up to 36 hours of waterproof, fade-resistant wear with a striking metallic finish. It’s versatile enough to enhance your lash line or to create unique, temporary body art.

Waterproof Eyeliner FAQs

What’s the Best Waterproof Eyeliner for the Waterline?

For the waterline, a waterproof pencil eyeliner is ideal due to its quick-setting nature. We suggest the Epic Wear Eyeliner Sticks, perfect for this delicate area. They provide immediate colour payoff without the wait or risk of smudging that comes with liquid liners, allowing for quick, worry-free application.

What Are the Best Waterproof Eyeliner Colours?

While black and brown remain popular for their versatility and universal appeal, don't shy away from experimenting with vibrant colours to brighten up overcast days. Bold shades like pink, purple, and blue, as well as striking metallics, can add an exciting twist to your look. For those who love pastels, our Epic Wear Waterproof Liner Sticks in Periwinkle Pop or Cosmic Yellow offer playful, yet intense colour. And for a touch of metallic sheen, try our Epic Wear Metallic Liquid Liner in Teal Metal or Fuschia Metal, which are both beautiful and long-lasting.

How Do You Make Eyeliner Stay On?

Securing your eyeliner against the Canadian elements starts with choosing a waterproof formula. To further guarantee your eyeliner’s endurance, prime your eyelids before application and finalize your makeup with a setting spray to lock everything in place.

How Do You Remove Long-Lasting Waterproof Eyeliner?

Waterproof eyeliner, designed to resist smudging, requires more than just water for removal. Opt for a dedicated makeup remover or micellar water for effective and gentle cleansing. Press a soaked cotton pad against your eyelid for a moment to loosen the makeup, then carefully wipe away.

Incorporate waterproof eyeliner for timeless styles like ‘90s looks, the perfect cat eye, or bold, innovative designs. Enhance your eye makeup with our selection of eyeshadows, false lashes, and mascaras for a captivating look. Unsure about your choices?
