Twists up smoothly without sharpening

What they flagged

Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

What the gurus are saying

Waterproof wear on the waterline without coating contacts is what keeps coming up. People who wear contacts praise these for staying put without leaving a film on their lenses like other brands do. The shades are vibrant, the formula lasts through the day, and the twist-up mechanism is easy to use.

"I tried about three or four different light colored liners and I ended up with the Aqua Resist Color Pencil from Make Up For Ever. This is the best one. It goes on like a cream and it also dries down and doesn't budge throughout the day. I am not a fan of putting product in the waterline, but when I want to give my eyes just a little bit of pop this is what I reach for."

"A favorite eyeliner I found earlier this year is the Makeup Forever Aqua Resist in Sand, for the waterline. It's waterproof, you just put it in your waterline and it just brightens up the eye."

"The Makeup Forever Aqua Resist Liners are really great eyeliners. I have this one in bronze and iron, which are gorgeous colors. They look so beautiful and they last in the waterline until you take it off. Those are awesome."

Faves + Fails! So Much Goodness!! Sept 2021

"I tried the Makeup Forever Aqua Resist Color Pencil in the shade Bronze. This is much like the Marc Jacobs Highliners—it's a retractable pencil so you twist the bottom and the product comes up. It comes in the prettiest shades. I have it on today and look at that gorgeous color. These really stay on well and these are waterproof as well, so they work really well in your waterline. I wear contacts, and when I put on my eyeliner, if I use some other brands that aren't waterproof, it coats my contacts with eyeliner and then I've got this film over my contacts and I can't see. I don't have any kind of film forming on my contacts with these."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
