5 Smudge-Proof Eyeliner That Won’t Let You Down Even When it’s Hot AF

With every season comes a host of new makeup products we need to add to our stash. Colder months call for hydrating products that will help manage our dry skin and summer is all about keeping oil and sweat at bay, so our makeup doesn’t melt off our our face. We combat these warm-weather struggles with makeup products that are formulated to be waterproof and smudge-proof — plus a hefty spritz of Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray on top of it all.

So if your waterproof summer makeup routine is complete except for eyeliners that won’t budge in the humidity, look no further. Ahead, find five beauty-editor approved smudge-proof eyeliners for summer — or, well, always.
