5 must-have eyeliners for every occasion

Erica's pick

"I love the way a dark eyeliner defines my eyes – but can't stand when it's already smudged by mid-day. As an avid eyeliner wearer and bride-to-be I want my liner to go on smooth, stay put and last all day…is that too much to ask?"

Big eye booster

This budge-proof liner hugs your lashes for a wide-eyed look and flirty girl finish. 

Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Push-Up Liner, $29, Sephora.
