Need recommendations for vegan eyeliners!
Before going vegan my favorite eyeliner was the canmake creamy touch liner, but it’s sadly not vegan.
So far I’ve tried a variety of vegan eyeliners but I’ve had various problems with them. The majority of them such as the Elf and cover girl eyeliners leave black smudges under my eyes despite me priming my eyelids and setting it with eyeshadow. I tried the Julep and Sandstone peak eyeliners and I thought they were decent but I hate dealing with eyeliner sharpeners and the sandstone peak eyeliner tip was too large for me to apply it precisely. So far the best vegan eyeliner I found that mimics the Canmake creamy touch liner is the SOSHE 1.5 mm retractable eyeliner which I like a lot and have been using for the past few months.
The main problem however is that the SOSHE eyeliner costs twice as much as the Canmake eyeliner (~$25 vs $12), which for me is a lot. I was wondering if anyone knew of any cheaper alternatives that provide similar results to the Canmake eyeliner but are vegan and cruelty free? Thanks so much!
TLDR: main criteria I’m looking for in terms of eyeliners are:
- gel eyeliner
- retractable
- anti-smudge + waterproof
- Thin precision (~1.5 mm)
- Affordable
