If you're looking for a long-lasting, fuss-free way of creating a flicked eyeliner finish, a liquid eyeliner is a must-have tool.

Similar in appearance to a felt-tip pen, they boast incredibly fine nibs which allow you to line your lash line and create a flick in seconds.

It's often much easier than blending a kohl crayon and easier to fix if you make a mistake (if you're prone to clumsiness, keep a cotton bud to hand to clean up).

To help you find the best liquid eyeliner for your makeup arsenal, we've compiled a shopping edit of the very best.

Across waterproof formulas, coloured designs through to classic black, our roundup features a mix of budget-friendly picks and splurge-worthy products.

Vieve is the brainchild of makeup artist and influencer Jamie Genevieve. Along with an already impressive range of creamy eyeshadow sticks and false lashes, one of its more recent launches is its liquid eyeliner pen. It's foolproof, creating a super sharp flick with ease and doesn't budge all-day.

Another makeup artist on our list is Joy Adenuga, who is well-loved for her stunning bridal beauty looks and celebrity clientele on Instagram. Her liquid eyeliner is packaged in a velvet casing, which provides a great grip when creating intricate eyeliner looks, but also cleverly doubles up as a tacky adhesive for false lashes. It's a total win-win.

We love this brown liquid eyeliner for its flexible nib that isn't too overloaded with product so you can easily build up the colour intensity without making a mess. It's an investment for sure, but well worth it as it will last months.

Available in black or brown, this liquid eyeliner from NYX is an absolute steal. The formula is vegan and cruelty-free, waterproof and smudge-resistant and delivers an intense colour payoff in a matte finish for extra-long staying power.

Boasting a smudge-proof, flake-proof and smear-proof formula, this is another great option if you want something for under £10. It promises to last up to 16 hours and its richly pigmented colour makes it a great option for watery eyes prone to smudging.

This eyeliner pen is waterproof and quick-drying, not to mention affordable too. The felt-tip style nib makes it ideal for beginners and the smudge-proof formula is great for hooded eyes as it won't transfer onto lids.

This water-resistant liquid eyeliner has a flexible tip and triangular pen shape, which makes gripping it when navigating around the inner corner of your eyes a breeze. It delivers a consistent flow of ink throughout application and has a satin finish.

For a full glam makeup look, you'll be hard-pressed to find a brand that does it better than Huda Beauty, whose Dubai founder, Huda Kattan, is a master at full-coverage, long-wearing products. This dual-ended eyeliner is no different, allowing you to choose between the liquid and pencil liner on either side, for a precise thick flick or a smoky eye.

We love the shade range for this matte liquid eyeliner, which comes in jewel-toned colours including cobalt blue, pink, brown, white, emerald, copper and black. It's perfect for adding a subtle pop of colour along the lash line.

This ultra-precise, vegan eyeliner was inspired by tattoo artistry and has an opaque pigment, all-day wear and a waterproof formula. What more do you need?

Eye makeup experts Eyeko have created an eyeliner enriched with vitamin B5 to nourish the lash line while helping you draw on thick or thin flicks. It lasts for hours, delivers a sleek singular line and is smudge-proof.

While you may know of Benefit's brilliant Roller Lash mascara, its accompanying eyeliner is well worth a try. Available in brown or black, it won't tag or drag on skin, creates a smooth continuous line, is quick-drying, and is waterproof.

Including why some of them bleed over time.

Sofía Vergara honestly can't stop stunning us with her America's Got Talent outfits. While the 50-year-old star has been pulling out cherry red dresses, disco ball-inspired tops and more, she just debuted yet another bold look.

The design featured a curved, corset-like bust with thick shoulder straps, and she showed it off in an Instagram post, where she said
