Best Eyeliner for Contact Lense Wearers- Pencil / Liquid / Gel?

by Josie

I'm a contact lens wearer. I've seen many suggestions to apply liner to the waterline. And I agree at my age the dark liner looks very aging.

Do you know of a great pencil or liquid liner that will not adhere to contact lens? I love the results (on others) and have had a bad experience with the pencil liners I have.

Any recommendations or suggestions are welcomed.

Best Eyeliner for Contact Lense Wearers

Editor's Note - Hello and thanks for your email regarding the best eyeliner that's appropriate for contact lense wearers.

I don't wear contacts, but I do have a suggestion that might help you.

Instead of trying an eyeliner pencil or liquid eyeliner, have you ever considered a waterproof eyeliner gel?

I use this gel liner and and can say first hand that it is very waterproof and does not budget all day.

I also have very sensitive eyes - they often get irritated, itchy and red with most eyeliners - even the hypoallergenic kind. But this one and Maybelline eye pencil are the only two that do not bother me.

You can read more about this waterproof eye gel here.......

I hope this helps!
