Eyeliners from our road test.

Eyeliner technology has really advanced. I used to never be able to wear eyeliner for fear of raccoon eyes, but the chemistry that goes into these products has really improved. Waterproof isn't just a dream anymore. Some products really do resist smudges, tearing and actually stay put. I took three different brands with similar gel-style formulas and tested them against each other. See the video to see who won!

G iorgio Armani's La Femme Bleue Long Wear Waterproof Eye Pencils are limited edition for Spring 2011. KarlaSugar raved about these, so I had to check them out for the road test. These are $27 each, which seems pricey for an eyeliner, but considering how much product you actually get in comparison with these other two brands, it's actually a better value.

Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner and Tarte emphasEYES Aqual-Gel Eyeliner both boast long wear and high pigmentation. But, if you watch the video, you will see that the Armani beats them out in value and beats the Tarte in wear.

Let's geek out for a moment and do a math break down:

Giorgio Armani - $27 for 0.04oz, 1.2g = $22.50 per gram

Stila - $20 for 0.01oz, 0.28g = $71.42 per gram

Tarte - $18 for 0.003oz, 0.1g = $180 per gram
