Clio’s Kill Black is basically the eyeliner that taught me how to use eyeliners. The brush tip is easy to control, there’s a ton of product in the tube (I use mine daily and I’ve been using one tube for four months) and it stays.

Lancome Artliner FOREVER. It comes in a bunch of colors besides basic black, it’s easy to apply, it’s durable and doesn’t flake (although it’s not waterproof, so you can take it off). It’s a little pricey ($30.50), but one tube lasts forever.
