If you’re a fan of lash extensions or lash lifts, you know the deal. Oils in eye makeup and makeup remover can break down the glue and solution and cause your pricey treatment to fall out faster. That’s a disaster. Luckily, there are some stellar oil-free eyeliners that are still long-wearing, ultra-pigmented and even smudge-proof. You’ll get that precise line every time without damaging your lashes.
Choose Beauty Garde’s oil-free liquid liner if you love a cat-eye as the flocked-tip applicator helps you swipe with ease. Prefer a brush tip? Dlux Professional’s ink liner is just like the oil-infused brush-tip ones you know and love but without the damaging ingredient. If you’re someone who can’t live without pencil liner, Almay’s eyeliner pencil comes in a pretty dark purple as well as black so you can create a sultry, smudged-out look perfect for day or night. Plus, it has a built-in sharpener so there’s no need to find the one you have laying around.
Go with that classic cat-eye, try the floating eyeliner trend or double up with a colorful line on top. Keep multiple eyeliners in your beauty kit for all your creative styles. Shop some of our favorite oil-free eyeliners, below.
