5 Eye Pencils That Blend Easily, Don't Smudge & Last All Day

If there’s one makeup product that should be simple but somehow isn’t, it’s the eye pencil. You’d think by now it would be pretty easy to find one that does everything: long-lasting, waterproof, blendable but not too smudgy, creamy but not greasy. And yet, here I am….still testing and still blending.

Not all eye pencils are created equal. Some dry down so fast that the second you apply it, it barely gives you any time to blend or smudge it. Others never dry at all, leaving you with smudges that travel halfway down your face by lunchtime. And then there are the ones that claim to be waterproof but start betraying you the moment you shed a tear.
