Best Glitter Eyeliner

What's the Best Glitter Eyeliner that you've tried?

For liquid, I like Tarina Tarantino’s, though I’m not sure to what extent that brand is still actually alive (for beauty). For pencil, I like Sephora’s Contour Eye Pencils in the glitter finish.

I like Nars Baalbek eye paint. It’s not super glittery like some of those liquid liners like UD used to do (maybe still do) – the glitter is much more subtle but still there. And, like Christine, I very much love the Sephora Contour Pencils (and I think FINALLY they’ve arranged them on the site by finish – took long enough but they’ve done this with lots of products, especially eye products and it’s long overdue).

I of course, agree with the UD Heavy Metal liquid liners. Very fun but I don’t often wear them. I’m a complete UD junkyard for eyes and lips.

I kinda like the chubby pencils lorac makes (or used to make)- where it is a creamy finish (no shimmer) but has some glitter throughout. Though the fact it is silver glitter detracts some.
Otherwise, UD and Avon, surprisingly.

I’ve only tried glittery eye pencils, and my fave is Sephora Diamond Cut — it has glitter, but it’s well done, and not too OTT for daytime, and the liner lasts all day and night on my oily lids

UD Heavy Metal Glitter Liner has been my fav for 10ish years, it’s great for going out looks, definitely not for the faint of heart. Ardency Inn has a gold liner that has flecks of glitter in it, it goes on smooth and it doesn’t irritate my eyes and its a great eye catching shade!

My favorite was the TooFaced one, but they don’t make them anymore 🙁 so, I went back to my Lise Watier ones that are pretty good also. (I don’t like the UD ones, they hurt my eyes). As for pencils, I only tried Tokidoki which are no good at all, but cute as can be!

My answer would also be Tarina Tarantino’s Hyperliners! Sephora Contour Eye Pencils and Marc Jacobs’s are also great. All my favorite eyeliners I found through this blog though 😛

I just bought the Sephora metalshine Marsala liquid liner and I can’t wait to try it! Just need to figure out what to wear it with.

As much as I love glitter, it doesn’t love me. my eyes always burn with glitter liners. It’s an allergic reaction that I haven’t figured out yet 🙁
