What is a good eyeliner that stays on all day and doesn't smudge or smear?
I have tried a few different eyeliners and they all seem to be cheap or something. They end up fading off, smudging, or being smeared over and look weird and ugly at the end of the day. I have gym class this year and I don't know if it's because I have to run sometimes or what but my current eyeliner still isn't doing what I need it to do. Does anyone have a favorite eyeliner that stays on all day and doesn't look gross at the end? thanks

You'll want to use a waterproof eyeliner, that will stay on. (And if you're wearing other eye makeup, like shadow, make sure to wear a primer under.)
Cheap options: Avon makes a decent one...it's not the creamiest but it stays on forever.
L'oreal's Infallible is decent, too, as long as you don't want to do a lot of smudging or blending. This one is nice because it has a built in sharpener.
Both of the above are the twist-up kind.
If you're willing to spend a little more, a good eyeliner is definitely worth the investment.
Urban Decay's 24/7 liner is amazing. There's tons of gorgeous colors, it's creamy, blends and smudges (if you want it to), and it stays on forever! I love it. You can get it at Sephora and Ulta.

And if you want crazy staying power, the kind where you can go swimming, take a shower, sleep, it doesn't come off, there's Make Up For Ever's Aqua Eyes:

Available at Sephora.
No matter which liner you use, the key to making it stay is to set the cream with a powder to give it staying power. Assuming you're using a black liner, take a small angled brush or eyeliner brush and some black shadow- some people like to use Carbon from MAC, but I prefer Sugarpill's Bulletproof (www.sugarpill.net). Just go over the line you made carefully, pressing it into your lashline. This also helps even out any mistakes you may have made.
If you have problems with your makeup staying on during school or long days, you may want to try a setting spray- you just spray it lightly on your face when you're done putting on your makeup, and it will keep in place and perfect-looking until you wash it off. Model in a Bottle is what the pros use, and Urban Decay makes a great one, too. However, I wouldn't bother with this step unless you're wearing a full face of makeup.
