Are you talking about using a qtip on your upper inner rim? Because I can't imagine doing that without touching your eyeball...I think you could do that with the lower inner rim though.
I cannot believe that I found someone who is actually doing an eyeliner video for the waterline! I am truly excited and thank you for all your hard work. I have smallish, almond shaped, hooded eyes, so I really need a good eyeliner for the waterline and your video is going to help me tremendously. Thank you so much. New subscriber here.
Edit: Marc Jacobs announced that they are coming back with their beauty line! No dates yet, hopefully soon! @@manuela1102 Marc Jacobs stopped making makeup I think about a year ago. Don't know if it's ever coming back.
@@manuela1102 YES, Marc Jacobs are the closest I've seen to 100% water/smudge/transfer proof. I used all my pencils up and can't find any dark color now. ☹️
It’s not always a question of being waterproof, but rather smudge resistant. There are oil glands on the inner eyelid where you are putting the liner. Most liners fail because of the oil.
I zingss, thank you for this tip. My problem is getting the liner to actually go on parts of my waterline. Any tips to remedy this problem would be much appreciated.
This is so true! I'm the one who struggle to find the eye liner that doesn't transfer down to the bottom because of the oil. I've tried soooo many brands from low to high, and none of it has worked. So, you mentioned "most", does it mean that you've found one that actually works against the oil? So far, Lancome drama liqui waterproof eye liner and Senna ultra last eye liner have been the best, but still transfer. Let me know!
I really don’t think it’s a good idea to wear it on your water line. Anytime I have tried this, my eyes bothered me for a few days. They say it makes your eyes look bigger, but I think it makes them look smaller. What’s wrong with putting liner above lashes? 🤷♀️
I am new to your channel, but I trusted you and got the winning Milani eyeliner. Yup! It has stayed all day on my waterline. I have struggled for decades with eyeliners falling during the day. A meaningful difference in my makeup! Thank you Bobbi!
Thank you SO much. I have bought at least six “waterproof” and “smudge resistant” eyeliners in the past few months with zero of them living up to their advertised “long wear.” Saw your video and thought I’d try again and SO glad I did because this Milani one you reviewed here is the ONLY one that has stayed put!!! I can throw the rest away and hope and pray Milani keeps making this forever 😁
YOU! Are my hero! I have been struggling for YEARS trying to find a transfer proof waterline eyeliner and I can’t believe I hadn’t tried the Milani one. It’s in my cart right now. You deserve a cookie and a hug for this video!
You saved me at least $100 trying different eyeliners, probably more. This Milani is something I may not even have tried as I’m a basic L’Oréal, Maybeline, Revlon kind of girl. This is hands down the best waterline eyeliner ever!
Yes, I agree, she really did the testing well. I bought Milani, and it works even better than she described. At long last, I have an eyeliner that stays put!
Fantastic video. I haven’t used eyeliner in a hundred years simply because it never lasted and I ended up looking like a raccoon after an hour or two. You’ve convinced me to give Milani a try. Thanks so much💕
The milani eyeliner has been my go to for years! Nobody ever talks about it or gives it credit until you. Lasts in my water line through 9+ hour shifts at work everyday!
A trick is to apply eyeshadow (press it on with a small flat brush) directly over the eyeliner; this usually holds it in place better, kind of like applying powder after foundation. Thanks for the vid!
Your hair looks beautiful in this video, very fresh and youthful. Even your makeup really bringing out your eyes too. Thanks for this video! I love the Marc Jacobs but discontinued, still working thru the stash I bought when I found out. Ordered the Sephora retractable to try as the one you tried I too found transfer to bottom.
After watching this video I rushed out and purchased Milani stay put eyeliner. I applied it to my waterline as normal and was so very disappointed by the afternoon. It kept transferring to under my eyes and gathering in the tear duct area. I thought I'd found magic and was so very sad. Even though my wet & wild isn't as intense by the end of the day, it doesn't end up all over.
You were so right! I ran out and bought the Milani Stay-Put eyeliner that you were so delighted with and the product exceeded my expectations. Thank you for doing all the hard work of sampling and testing and for your recommendation. Much appreciated!
I love love love the maybelline tattoo liner in black. It really stays put on my eyelid all day and the next if l don't wash my makeup off. I just love it
NYX ($6.50) and Ulta automatic eyeliner ($8.00) both bought at Ulta are both really good eyeliners. Absolutely the best eyeliners I've ever used. I just bought them and have thrown out all my other eyeliners, because none of them did the job that these two eyeliners do. Some of my other eyeliners I've had were some of the same ones you just reviewed. I'll definitely try the Milani eyeliner as well. Thanks for the video.
As a 55 year old, I have long since given up eye liner pencils. They just quit working for me and ended up all over in the outer corners and creases of my eye (my eyelids have become more oily as I've aged). Now I use a very inexpensive, but very effective eye primer (Wet n' Wild) and I use L'oreal Flash Cat Eye waterproof liquid eyeliner. I don't use it on my upper waterline exactly - I apply it actually IN the lash line (though some inevitably does end up on my waterline). It goes on super easy and lasts ALL day without budging. I would love the ease of using a pencil again, especially when I just want a quick makeup job and don't need it to look fabulous or last all day. I'll check out the Milani pencil.
Such a great comparison video, please do more like this! One you didn't test that I've had pretty good luck with is the 'NYX Epic Wear liner stick' (I have it in Brown Shimmer and Burnt Siena, both are dark brown with the latter being a touch warmer.) I have the added challenge of finding one that doesn't cloud up my contact lenses (I believe I tried the Milani and it did stick to my contacts when I used it in the upper waterline, unfortunately.)
This has been such a challenge for me. Thank you for take a “hit” for us all. I do appreciate that you did a realistic try with leaving it on dail. Just came across your channel. Subscribed and put notifications on. I plan to catch up with your other video’s. Kudoo’s for doing so what is needed.
I tried your suggestion with Almay All-Day Intense Gel Eyeliner and it transferred and smudged and I looked like a racoon within the first hour. I was SOOO disappointed. 😢
Thank you so much for this video. I LOVE the look of waterlining the top lid but had tried at least 10 high end, high dollar eye liners, all of which failed miserably. Either not staying on, or running or leaving dark liner below my eyes. I bought Milani this weekend....and its a TOTAL game changer! Thanks for the information and for all the videos you do!
Thanks for sharing your results! Looks like you spent a lot of money on this experiment! Thank you for your hard work! Almay liquid liner works great too! You must let the almay liquid liner dry.
I took your advice and tried it, and the Milani is just great! It lasts and lasts, and it doesn’t smudge on my lids either. I ordered more right away. Thank you!!
Wow! Thanks, Bobbie, for taking one for the team! I recently tried Gwen Stefani's GXVE eyeliner pencil...I can't remember the exact name, but, wow! It stayed on my waterline all day! I may now need to check out the Milani one here. Thanks so much!
Thanks for doing this video. I learned to line the upper waterline from Nikol Johnson, for those of us who are challenged in trying to line from the top at the base of the lashes. I was never good at it, so doing the upper waterline is the perfect answer. I am going to try the Milani, I LOVE their nail polish, (if you can find it). It lasts longer than any I have tried. Regarding transfer, I don't mind a bit of transfer, to me it gives a nice, slightly smudgy look, so I don't have to try to line the bottom lid and make it look natural. As I age, I am really trying to do the bottom liner much more subtle and not so harsh.
Thank you so much for this video. As I age I find tight lining one of the most flattering techniques I can do. Not if it is going to wear off or transfer. Also I just love the ones that burn!! Lol
Literally. Thank you for doing this. SO hard to find one that will stay on! The urban decay one MADE for this wont even stay on me! Going to try milani.
Thankyou so much for this. The money we waste on pencils that don't live up to what they promise! It's great to have someone willing to test them. Especially for a full day. Fantastic.
When I saw the title I yelled, "Perfect!" I have been wasting $ trying to find a pencil just for my waterline. Thank you! Buying the Milani right now! Subscribed!
I had the same exact results!! I’ve been searching and searching for an eyeliner to tightline with that wouldn’t transfer to my waterline below! $24 Urban Decay came in 2nd. Pat McGrath, Pixie, L’Oreal, you name it. Milani was the best!!! Is the best!!
I know this is bursting a bubble here but I have severe dry eye syndrome….prob caused by many years of waterline makeup. The liner blocks the Meibomian glands and prevents normal tear production. If you are getting older the chances are this will happen to you, especially after menopause when everything dries up! PLEASE, PLEASE think twice before using liners on the waterline because, believe me, the misery of MGD means NO make up at all for life for many people who develop it. My eye specialist gets really mad at these kinds of videos as he sees more and more patients each year developing dry eye disease. Your choice of course but I always feel compelled to tell it as it is, thank you.
@@lurklingXthing is we all grow up or majority of us do getting advertised these things so it’s hard to shake it off. Or enough people like this sweet lady describing in detail why it would mess up your eyes. If you tell people “it’ll damage your eyes “ it’s not enough to convince this 😭. Her comment definitely made me aware now, I’ll still use it but only for special occasions now
@karenpowell5976 I was diagnosed at 17 & never wore makeup. Cured at 45 on the carnivore diet. Turns out the high carb low fat diet caused it. Not makeup!!!
@@tomjones2157 …there are many forms of dry eye disease, most of which are never ‘cured’ just managed. I’m glad you found relief through diet, however it’s not ideal is it? Often fad diets end up being extremely restrictive and bad for health generally long term. I myself have learned to keep make up to a minimum, eat a balanced diet, take Omega 3 supplements, clean my lids, keep hydrated. Dry eye disease is different for everyone but poor makeup practice should always be avoided by everyone and that’s why I posted a message.
This outcome makes sense. Years ago some of my favorite beauty UA-camrs swore by Jordana Easyliner for this purpose. And before the brand went out of business, Jordana was owned by the same folks who owned Milani, and they had several "twin" products. Glad you found a winner!
I am very excited to give this winning eyeliner a try! One other drugstore liner that has worked really well for me is the Wet n Wild Breakup Proof liquid eyeliner. It feels a bit weird to use a little liquid brush-type eyeliner on the upper waterline, but I have done it many times and it stays put. I have quite oily eyelids, so most other eyeliners tend to smudge throughout the day.
This video was SOOO helpful ❤ Have been struggling to find the perfect waterline eyeliner for years. Especially ones which dont irritate and leave my eyes stinging!!
Since COVID I stopped wearing makeup. Recently, I started wearing makeup again so, I'm a little out of practice and don't know what's good or not?? Thank you for your honest review. I rushed out to get the Milani Stay Put Eyeliner as I wanted to try it out. Your review was totally correct the eyeliner stayed in place and lasted all day and only went when I took it off. However, I did find that a bit had transferred to my bottom waterline. Must admit, I haven't done eyeliner in years so it might be my technique. It didn't irritate my eyes, had a lovely creamy texture and glided on easily. Be nice to see it in other colours (brown or a plum would be nice) but I could only get it in black. On the whole a very good eyeliner. Thanks! 😊❤🎉
Thank you so much for doing this video! I have spent so much money on so many " lasting, waterproof " eyeliners and waterline eye products. However, I have never tried Milani. I will purchase Milani today. Thank you, again. Linda from Las Vegas 💝
Thank you for the video. I really needed one for my upper waterline because without it I have a weird pink line of my lid showing through my dark pupils so it’s just a necessity. and because of that I’ve been trying these water line markers for years. Let me throw in another contender, and I surprised myself with this one. It’s the Kylie matte gel eyeliner. It works so well and stays on like a tattoo. It was still on in the morning when I woke up 😀👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I went ahead and bought 8 more of them and I will probably purchase eight more. I never would’ve tried a Kylie cosmetic believe me, but this is the only item in her line that I will swear by.
Thank you so much for this. I had totally given up on a drugstore brand tight liner because the two I tried didn’t work. Definitely going to try Milani.
Thanks so much for this video! I stopped doing my goth makeup the way I used to do it in my teens because it would just end up looking like a mess after a couple hours (not good if I wasn't going for a grunge look lol), so I'll be adding Milani Stay Put Eyeliner to my shopping list for next time. Also, you do such an AMAZING job with clear demonstration; other UA-camrs could learn a thing or two from you!
I would like to reach through the screen and hug you.... I never even heard about the brand Milani and to my surprise I was able to hunt it down with a bit of effort. Hallelujah...it works! For the first time in my life I have an eyeliner that really last! I can't thank you enough for this review ❤ Greetings from Saskatchewan, Canada 🇨🇦
I love MUF’s Aqua Resist liners! Only eyeliner I’ve used for last 10 years. So many amazing colors and it stays put. It’s more pricey that drugstore but lasts and you’re not constantly frustrated with it wear off or transferring elsewhere. Can’t wait to try the q-tip trick to dry my waterline beforehand. Thanks for this great testing video. I had tried every waterproof eyeliner out there high end and drugstore and was constantly annoyed with each purchase. Nice to hear your confirmation that MUF is the golden ticket! Just landed on your channel bc of subject and glad I did! Immediately liked and subscribed.😊✌🏻🌹
TY for this review! I have been on a personal quest to find a waterline liner that will actually do what it claims. I have not tried the Milan but I will now! Again, TY!!
Thanks for taking the time to test all the brands ! None of the eye liners I use last, and most transfer. I have an old…really old, eye liner from Mally Beauty that works well. I’ll be picking up a Milani for sure ! 💜💜
Thank you so much for doing this, I loved it! It takes all the guess work out and shows us where we really should be spending our hard earned money! Take care and God bless! 😘🥰❤️😍🤗👍🏻💯
Thanks for this -- I'm appreciative that you've worked on an issue that I want to resolve, because I've found the eye lining the waterline brightens up my face. Who cares whether you said 12 or 24-- you spent a lot of money to research this and presented this very well. thanks a bunch Patti from Kentucky
If you need something that truly lasts, try Inglot AMC Gel Liner. It’s in a pot and you’ll need to apply it with a brush, but that stuff doesn’t budge. I’m a makeup artist and we apply it on the waterline too, no problem! Comes in black and brown and other colours..
This is fantastic! I've been searching for a brown eyeliner that would stay on all day! I don't know why but brown doesn't last like black does. Thank you!!
Thank you for this video! Very well done, to the point and nice amount of eyeliners for test! I found if I swab lash line, apply pencil liner, I will go back over with a brush and powder line, then back over with pencil it lasts way longer. It’s like putting liner on like 3 times, but it gives a base for liner to adhere to. I am going to try the Milani next purchase. 👏
Ok, Ok...I kept saying Sephora was a 24 Hour - Sorry about that. It's a 12 hour! 🤦♀Ugh!
Didn't last 4 hours for me😞
@@dublinjazz1 hi
How about the almay!
If you use a q tip to swab the waterline immediately before putting on the eyeliner,it helps it adhere because it is dryer. 😊
Good Hack! Thanks for the tip!
Thank you, good to know.
Are you talking about using a qtip on your upper inner rim? Because I can't imagine doing that without touching your eyeball...I think you could do that with the lower inner rim though.
It’s uncomfortable, especially if you’re using a contact lens .i dont put eyeliner on my water line because it gets into my contacts
I learnt this a few years back n been doing it ever since, good tip
I cannot believe that I found someone who is actually doing an eyeliner video for the waterline! I am truly excited and thank you for all your hard work.

@@tomjones2157 …there are many forms of dry eye disease, most of which are never ‘cured’ just managed. I’m glad you found relief through diet, however it’s not ideal is it? Often fad diets end up being extremely restrictive and bad for health generally long term.
I myself have learned to keep make up to a minimum, eat a balanced diet, take Omega 3 supplements, clean my lids, keep hydrated.
Dry eye disease is different for everyone but poor makeup practice should always be avoided by everyone and that’s why I posted a message.
😊 Thank you mademoiselle for the warning!!
This outcome makes sense. Years ago some of my favorite beauty UA-camrs swore by Jordana Easyliner for this purpose. And before the brand went out of business, Jordana was owned by the same folks who owned Milani, and they had several "twin" products. Glad you found a winner!
I have used this now for years. I use it for upper water line and smudge on top. You can get it at Target which I like.
Milani is the bomb!! They make a black liquid liner that can be used on the water line and NEVER moves. Its incredible.
What is it called??
Yes what’s the name of it pls??
Where is it made?
Reallyyyyyy useful review❤❤❤❤ much love for tou,thanks!
I am very excited to give this winning eyeliner a try! One other drugstore liner that has worked really well for me is the Wet n Wild Breakup Proof liquid eyeliner. It feels a bit weird to use a little liquid brush-type eyeliner on the upper waterline, but I have done it many times and it stays put. I have quite oily eyelids, so most other eyeliners tend to smudge throughout the day.
This video was SOOO helpful ❤ Have been struggling to find the perfect waterline eyeliner for years. Especially ones which dont irritate and leave my eyes stinging!!
What a great video! Thanks for doing all that work for us!
Milani has been my favorite for a few years now and like you I’ve tried every liner out there from Dior to nyx
Just what I been looking for. It’s crazy not that many people review this important things
Since COVID I stopped wearing makeup. Recently, I started wearing makeup again so, I'm a little out of practice and don't know what's good or not?? Thank you for your honest review. I rushed out to get the Milani Stay Put Eyeliner as I wanted to try it out. Your review was totally correct the eyeliner stayed in place and lasted all day and only went when I took it off. However, I did find that a bit had transferred to my bottom waterline. Must admit, I haven't done eyeliner in years so it might be my technique. It didn't irritate my eyes, had a lovely creamy texture and glided on easily. Be nice to see it in other colours (brown or a plum would be nice) but I could only get it in black. On the whole a very good eyeliner. Thanks! 😊❤🎉
Thank you so much for doing this video! I have spent so much money on so many " lasting, waterproof " eyeliners and waterline eye products. However, I have never tried Milani. I will purchase Milani today.
Thank you, again.

I love how straight to the point you were and amazing skin, btw. ✔️✔️✔️
Straight to the point? Don’t think so.
Thank you for the video. I really needed one for my upper waterline because without it I have a weird pink line of my lid showing through my dark pupils so it’s just a necessity. and because of that I’ve been trying these water line markers for years. Let me throw in another contender, and I surprised myself with this one. It’s the Kylie matte gel eyeliner. It works so well and stays on like a tattoo. It was still on in the morning when I woke up 😀👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I went ahead and bought 8 more of them and I will probably purchase eight more. I never would’ve tried a Kylie cosmetic believe me, but this is the only item in her line that I will swear by.
Thank you so much for this. I had totally given up on a drugstore brand tight liner because the two I tried didn’t work. Definitely going to try Milani.
I have been using the HAUS brand and pretty happy with the results.
Thank you. I had been looking for one that would actually stay in the water line
Thanks so much for this video! I stopped doing my goth makeup the way I used to do it in my teens because it would just end up looking like a mess after a couple hours (not good if I wasn't going for a grunge look lol), so I'll be adding Milani Stay Put Eyeliner to my shopping list for next time.
Also, you do such an AMAZING job with clear demonstration; other UA-camrs could learn a thing or two from you!
I would like to reach through the screen and hug you.... I never even heard about the brand Milani and to my surprise I was able to hunt it down with a bit of effort. Hallelujah...it works! For the first time in my life I have an eyeliner that really last! I can't thank you enough for this review ❤
Greetings from Saskatchewan, Canada 🇨🇦
I'll consider myself hugged! 💕 Yay, I'm so glad it works for you Marion!
I love MUF’s Aqua Resist liners! Only eyeliner I’ve used for last 10 years. So many amazing colors and it stays put. It’s more pricey that drugstore but lasts and you’re not constantly frustrated with it wear off or transferring elsewhere. Can’t wait to try the q-tip trick to dry my waterline beforehand. Thanks for this great testing video. I had tried every waterproof eyeliner out there high end and drugstore and was constantly annoyed with each purchase. Nice to hear your confirmation that MUF is the golden ticket! Just landed on your channel bc of subject and glad I did! Immediately liked and subscribed.😊✌🏻🌹
TY for this review! I have been on a personal quest to find a waterline liner that will actually do what it claims. I have not tried the Milan but I will now! Again, TY!!
Thank you! Finding a liner to tight line is so difficult!
Wow thank you for sharing, I’ve also had the same issue with waterline eyeliners. Will Try the winner.
Thanks for taking the time to test all the brands ! None of the eye liners I use last, and most transfer. I have an old…really old, eye liner from Mally Beauty that works well. I’ll be picking up a Milani for sure ! 💜💜
Hopefully this one works as good for you Debbie!
Thank you so much for doing this, I loved it! It takes all the guess work out and shows us where we really should be spending our hard earned money! Take care and God bless! 😘🥰❤️😍🤗👍🏻💯
Wow going to try the Milani! I have been hoping for a review comparing waterline eyeliners ❤🙌
Thank you for doing the work for us!! 💙
You are the bomb! You’re right - the Milani really works just as you said. Thanks so much for the accurate testing and advice.
Yay! I’m so glad it works for you.
OMG … I hope it’s not sold out by the time I get to the store. Thanks for doing this - you’re a real trouper !❤
Wow. Thank you, your test realy will help me get an eyeliner that works. Bobbie, you nailed it!❤
Straight to the point, no nonsense, informative and helpful. This is delightful! Thank you for the great video! 😊
I use the CoverGirl exhibitionist and LOVE IT ! It never moves once I put it on. I do make sure my lids are dry before application.
I love that you are testing these. Tip from amazing makeup artist, the late Kevin Aucoin: set oil based liners with powder and it lasts much longer.
Great video! I also like the Kat Von D tattoo eyeliner! Stays on the waterline all day long
Thanks for this -- I'm appreciative that you've worked on an issue that I want to resolve, because I've found the eye lining the waterline brightens up my face. Who cares whether you said 12 or 24-- you spent a lot of money to research this and presented this very well. thanks a bunch Patti from Kentucky
Haha, clearly some do care 🤷♀️! Thanks Patti!
Yay Bobbi!! I have spent a small fortune on eye liners for the water line. I am definitely going to try this !
I use Almaty gel pencil. I put it on heavy. Never has transferred or faded.
This is a search I’ve been making-for years! Thanks for this!
If you need something that truly lasts, try Inglot AMC Gel Liner. It’s in a pot and you’ll need to apply it with a brush, but that stuff doesn’t budge. I’m a makeup artist and we apply it on the waterline too, no problem! Comes in black and brown and other colours..
Is Milani hypoallergenic. Do you know? Would it be OK for sensitive eyes? Thanks❤
This is fantastic! I've been searching for a brown eyeliner that would stay on all day! I don't know why but brown doesn't last like black does. Thank you!!
Thank you so much 💗💗 my son will be graduating from High school next month now I know which eyeliner to purchase 💗💗💗
Thank you for this video! Very well done, to the point and nice amount of eyeliners for test! I found if I swab lash line, apply pencil liner, I will go back over with a brush and powder line, then back over with pencil it lasts way longer. It’s like putting liner on like 3 times, but it gives a base for liner to adhere to. I am going to try the Milani next purchase. 👏
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
So excited for this video! I need this research!
