How long does liquid eyeliner typically last?
Most long-wear formulas last 8–12 hours and are designed to resist smudging, fading and transfer.

Matte liners create a bold, modern look while glossy liners offer a dramatic, high-shine finish. The best choice depends on your style.
How do I remove waterproof liquid eyeliner?
Use an oil-based cleanser or micellar water formulated for waterproof makeup to remove it effectively without rubbing.
