Hey Beautyholics! So one of the most common questions I get asked is what eyeliner to use with your new set of eyelash extensions. Since I don’t have time do my own research and test them all out, I did the next best thing…
I found the best article about it. 

Below is 10 recommendations from pencils to gels, as well as price points from drugstores to high end. Read it and decide for your self. My only advice though is to stay away from the “Water proof” ones, I know there is a couple in there. And as far as my very own favorite? Hands down the Kat Von D Tattoo Eyeliner, the felt tip makes it easy to apply and control. Enjoy!

It’s probably apparent from our Instagram feeds and numerous articles on the subject that we love experimenting with eyeliner. Whether we’re playing around with bright, bold colors or practicing Ariana Grande’s cat-eye technique, you can pretty much count on us to be trying out the latest tips and products to elevate our eye looks.

Of course, nabbing the perfect formula is key, especially if you have lash extensions. While most of us might not consider whether or not our favorite pencil liner contains oil, it’s especially crucial for people with falsies. It turns out that oil and eyelash glue don’t exactly mix, so if you want your extensions to last, you’ll have to stick to an oil-free formula. Even if you don’t have lash extensions, these oil-free eyeliners are 10 of our all-time favorites, so you’ll want to read on.
