When looking for eyeliner in the summer, there are a few specifics that I have in mind.

One is the form, of which I prefer a pencil in the summer. In the summer I go for a no fuss look and pencils help me get there in a flash. The second thing I look for is color. In the colder months, I stick to dark gray shades, browns and sometimes really dark blues. Summertime I look to kick it up and add in a pop of color. I either line my entire eye in a brighter shade, or maybe use a brown on the top of the eye and layer a brighter punch of teal in the outer corners and underneath my eye. The last thing I look for is wearability, or waterproof versions that wear all day. Between the heat and playing outside (or floating on a raft, which is more like it), I want my pretty pops of color to last through all the elements.

I have done all the work for you here, ladies and have sifted through many an eyeliner to know which are the best. Here they are, 16 of the best long wearing eye pencils that you need this season.
