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 usually avoid them because I have sensitive eyes and they tend to irritate me! I will use liners with shimmer but stay away from the larger glitter.
Wouldn’t know! Never tried one 🙂
MAC Pearlglides! I would do anything for them to expand their perm selection!
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 feel UD and Sephora Collection do alright ones. I just have never worn them on my eyes.
Liquid: Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner. Pencil: bhCosmetics Party Girl Waterproof Gel Eyeliner.
Yes, also love the BH Cosmetics Party Girl Eye Liners!
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!
Because I have super sensitive eyes, not very many glitter liners within my stash I’m afraid. Of those I can tolerate, Sephora Contour Pencil Liners, especially Fairytale and Tango Night, and Nyx has some within their Slide-On eyeliner pencils, I only have one of the glittery ones, Jewel, which never gives me any issues!
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 like urban decay liquid glitter liner and NYX. I have the one with the tassel in pink. I have a black and chunky glitter automatic pencil and it has dried out a bit and become painful to apply so not sure if I’ll purchase any.
Urban Decay Crash is my favorite. sadly discontinued . I also like MAC BlackLine . But I don’t tolerate glittery eyeliners well, they irritate my eyes.
Actually, Jordana (Walgreens, Kmart) makes some pretty good glitter liners/liquid liners at an affordable price!
For liquids, I love Nyx Liquid Crystal Liners and Urban Decay Heavy Metal Eyeliners. Both are awesome with no glitter fallout!
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 🙁
