The best liquid eyeliner you can buy in 2019

There's a joke that tends to circulate among those who are more than a little beauty-obsessed — the later we are to leave our apartments, the more complicated of a liquid eyeliner look we decide to wear.

It's funn, but sad, because liquid eyeliner can really be a pain in the butt, which is the major reason why most makeup novices shy away from it.

But not all liquid eyeliners are as scary as they're made out to be. In fact, liquid eyeliners have advanced by leaps and bounds over the past few years. Gone are the days of flimsy paintbrush-like applicators and runny pigments. Now, the majority of liners come with marker-like tips, making it much easier to create clean, crisp lines. The formulations are much sturdier, which means no runny black tears à la Lauren Conrad on "The Hills."

All that said, there are a few tricks you want to keep in mind when it comes to working with liquids. The most important? Don't try to make one, clean line in one swipe — it's pretty much impossible. Instead, apply your line in short strokes, and go slowly. This is a marathon — not a sprint.

Another tip? If you're creating a cat-eye with liquid eyeliner, apply to each eye in tandem, not one at a time. So draw the flick on each eye to make sure they're even, and then fill in each line over the lid. That way, it's easier to fix if things get messed up.

But all of these tips are totally worthless if you don't have the right liner in your makeup bag. So which one reigns supreme? Read on for our top picks in every category. But remember these two things — practice makes perfect, and don't attempt liquid liner if you're in a rush.
