Take 5: Best Black Waterproof Eyeliners Under $10

We get it—you're obsessed with black eyeliner. And to quote Pat McGrath, "Obsession is a good place to come from." If you find it difficult to forgo the basic black even in these last, sweltering days of summer, that's understandable too. 

Since this is not an adaption of The Crow, there's no need for you to look as if you came to audition for the role, right? With that said, try a waterproof version of the classic makeup staple.

For the grand finale, let's explore two ways on how to define your line from the runway:

Mod Meow (Gianfranco Ferré): As makeup artist Peter Philips told Allure Magazine, "It's rock 'n roll, with a '60s reference on the eyes." The trick is to  let your liner follow the natural curve of your eye without a "hook to the line." All you have to do is trace your upper lashline–from inner corner to outer corner–and apply a small tail at the end by lifting "ever so slightly at the end." 

Boudoir Beauty (Giorgio Armani): This particular look is achieved best when you use a cream eyeliner as a base with black powder eyeshadow on top. Inspired by a photo of a pinup, makeup artist Linda Cantello extended the upper lash line a quarter-inch from the outer corner. She then started the lower lash line in the middle and extended it outward, tracing "underneath the bottom lashes.
