I'm the oily eyelids poster. I've found Almay liquid eyeliner to work the best, and it's easy to apply.

I use a cheap wet n wild primer and drugstore waterproof (that is key) eyeliner, and it stays on all day. Right now I am using essence. I find the gel eyeliners go on more easily, but I have had good luck with pencil as well. I don't bother with liquid.

The key is just to use a primer. Drugstore brands are cheap enough to be able to experiment.

Liquid liner works best for me. Kat Von D tattoo liner is great in brown and black. Use powder first in the eyelid or primer and let it dry before doing eyelashes.

Any recs for drugstore brands?

Try something powder-based. I like Guerlain's kohl powder and Laura Mercier tightline cake eyeliner. The Guerlain stays on for days if I don't take it off with a qtip, and the Laura Mercier doesn't smudge or rub either, though it's less dramatic.

Same for me. I use the urban decay primer. The kat von dee liner never comes off.

Sorry, I'm referring to the primer.

Do your eyes water a lot during the day?

Agree with this. You need a primer

The eye cream may not be absorbed enough before your liner is going on. I do agree with PP’s recommendation on primer. You may also need a liquid liner if you have oily lids.

I’ve tried many different brands. I can’t find anything that won’t run or smudge. I’ve all but given up, but I look a million times better with eyeliner— before it starts to move. I’m also wondering if the eye cream I’m using makes a difference?
