Last March, I borrowed a friend of mine's liquid eyeliner (not something I normally condone of course) for a night out on the town and I fell in love. It took some practice with it of course, but ever since then I've been just enamored with how much better my eyes look when using liquid liner. Most of the time I would use the L'Oreal liner that you can buy anywhere - Target, Walgreens, etc. Occasionally, I would switch it up and use something that I'd get from Sephora or if a sample would come in. But for the most part, I used L'Oreal.
Also, around this time I started having awful problems with my eyes. I recently had switched to a different brand of contacts and they were SO comfortable. But then here I was having problems again. I'd wake up every morning with itchy, crusty (gross, I know) eyes. My eyes would be red a LOT. I started buying eye drops by the gallons. I chalked all of this up to allergies. I even bought an air purifier for my bedroom thinking it would help. Nope. The problem continued. Until recently...
I decided to take a break from liquid eyeliner for a week or so and guess what? NO ITCHY EYES. No redness! No crusty gross morning eyes! My eyes feel GREAT. So I started googling and this is what I found:

I used this eyeliner ever since I can remember, it was the best!
The brush was perfect easy to put on and it looked perfect afterwards
but recently I had to buy new one and my eyes got red itchy burning also
I'm really upset been trying to find something that compares to this bc
I love me some eyeliner, but I can't. Come on loreal fix your product
then let us know !!!!! I miss it :( it should really be taken off the
market if something isn't changed .. if its happening to everyone who
wears it something is wrong. Should not just keep selling a crappy
product.Review of LOreal Eyeliner Superliner

Wow this was the first and only eyeliner I use to wear. It was
the best. Last year aprox July 2010 I bought another one and much to my
surprise I started getting really bad swollen eyes and my eyes started
burning. I never thought it would be the eyeliner since I had been using
this for 12 years. I switched everything else mascara ..eyeshadow and
brushes 7 months later I finally figured out it was the damn eyeliner.
Very disappointed. I will never buy another loreal product they screwed
up a good...Review of LOreal Eyeliner Superliner

What Happened??? I've used this product for as long as I can
remember. Two months (July 2010) I bought the eyeliner and the next day
my eyes became red, swollen, crusty. It took a whole week for the
problem to go away. I suspect L'oreal might have changed the product's
consistency to save money. It is too bad they lost another customer. DO
NOT AT ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!...Review of LOreal Eyeliner Superliner

OMG! I thought it was me! I have also used Loreal liner for
years and years and would use no other because I loved it and then one
day I got the red, swollen, crusty eyes as others and had to go to the
eye doctor. It took weeks to heal and I didn't want to think it was my
liner so I bought another new liner and used it and the same thing
happened again. Shame on Loreal for changing a good thing!!...Review of LOreal Eyeliner Superliner

I have used Loreal Liquid Eyeliner for over 10 years. I bought a
new eyeliner about a month ago and when I used it, under my eyes got
red, swollen, crusty, itchy and unbearably sore. I thought I had pink
eye or something. The doctor said no and gave me eye allergy eye drops
and ointment to put on them. It took almost 3 weeks to get better. I
used the eyeliner again and it happened again, this time it looked like I
had a red liner on, they looked burned. I finally realized it was the
eyeliner. I...Review of LOreal Eyeliner Superliner

I too used this eyeliner for 20 years with no problem. They
ruined the product by changing the formula. I get swollen blistered
eyelids from the new one. tossed it out bought another one same thing,
waited a few months, bought another one. same problem. I would LOVE to
talk with a company rep to see what the change in ingredients is so I
dont waste money buying another product that will irritate my eyes. Has
anyone found a good replacement for this eyeliner? Pencil dosent work
for me....Review of LOreal Eyeliner Superliner

I too have used LOreal Eyeliner for years. I always use black.
In May I threw out my old bottle and bought a new one and after using it
my eyelids where really sore and red around the lash area I had oozing
and inflammation. I stopped using it for a month threw out that bottle
and bought a new one used it once and my lash area was very red and sore
and oozing, removed it and by morning my eyes were almost swollen shut
they hurt so badly I could hardly stand it. It took 3 days for them to
return...Review of LOreal Eyeliner Superliner

I have been a faithful user of Loreal Eyeliner for years. I have
always used the brown/black and loved it. I recently about almost 2
weeks ago went and purchased it in black. I applied it and within two
hours I notice my eyes were burning and itchy. I continued to use it and
now my eyes are super puffy and where I use my eyeliner is all red and
flaky. It's really sad this had to happen as I love Loreal's eyeliner,
but it's not worth using if I'm going to get this sort of reaction....Read more
These reviews went on and on and on. Wow L'Oreal....SHAME ON YOU. This product should not be on the market. I really thought I was going to have to switch contacts or either be on allergy medicine forever and now I see it's not me....it's you.
So for that, L'Oreal, we have to breakup. Pack your bags; you're outta here. Now I hope I can find a new relationship with another brand so I can renew my love of liquid liner again. Any suggestions???

I have no suggestions but holy crap! How can they not pull it after all those reviews???
I've never been good with a liquid and have always used Cover Girl, but if I hear anything on liquids I'll let you know :)
I use Cover Girl liquid eyeliners. I have for a long time try that. Also ELF (from target) has a liquid that is inexpensive! You might want to try it first. I swear its less than $5! ELF products are supposed to be great! I have used their eyelashes before.
I have your solution!!
I don't buy eyeliner anymore. I just use a thin, angled brush to apply eyeshadow as my eyeliner...only do it wet. You get the same dark effect, and when it dries it is set. No smudges, no fading!! You use whatever eyeshadow color you want, but apply it wet!!
wow, that is TERRIBLE!! I actually stick to pencil liner because I cannot seem to make a smooth line with the liquid. I have tried several brands and thought the product was good, mostly user error. However I recently tried a Mary Kay liquid liner & it was awful, I really didn't like how it applied, plus the consistency so, don't go that route.
Glad you found out it was the liner as opposed to changing literally everything else, that would have been sooo costly!
I am so horrible at being a girl. I have only tried liquid eyeliner once and it was a disaster. Who wants to post a "how to" video? I also love the idea of using eyeshadow for liner but I'm sure that wouldn't turn out any better on me. Help a girl out!
I don't use liquid eyeliner so I don't have any suggestions there...sorry! But I just want to say how horrible that is! What a terrible brand to leave something on the market that is obviously causing so many issues.
Just in case though, I will tell you I use & love a couple eyeliners: Sephora's Nano collection in midnight black; tarte eye pencil in black; and Cover Girl eye pencil in black. I rotate between these three depending on how thick I want my liner (I listed them in order of thickest to lightest).
Good luck!! :)
Yikes!
I use Face of Stockholm. It is a little pricey but is so well made and worth the extra money. And I have very sensitive eyes, any crying or working out too hard will make my eyes swell up. But I have never had an issue with the liquid eyeline from Face and I use it everyday. Good luck!
I use Maybeline’s stiletto liquid eye liner and LOVE it. It’s one of the few drug store make-up products I still use! Good luck on your search :)
