Whether you identify as a full-beat queen or a beauty beginner, glitter eyeliners have the potential to seriously up your glam game. These multidimensional must-haves deliver dazzling, vivid, and long-lasting pigment with every shimmery swipe—and with that, the ability to carry an entire makeup look on their own, offering you a whole lot of glam for minimal effort. So if you don’t have the time or patience for a full-on glitter eyeshadow look, don’t sweat it—these will get the job done in a single, super simple application, no blending or clean-up required.
That said, not all glitter makeup products are created equal. If you’re going for a heavily pigmented look with loads of drama, you might want to opt for a liquid liner. Want a more natural eye look—or as natural as glitter gets, at least? Then opt for a pencil for tightlining along your lash line.
Whatever eyeliner look you go with, don’t forget to stock up on makeup remover to take it all off at the end of the day. With that, consider these 15 best glitter eyeliners for every preference and vibe.
With glittery versions in rainbow-bright colors, this is the liner to go for if you want a bold look that pops. The formula is creamy so it won't skip, and the waterproof formula ensures that it won't budge throughout the day.
URBAN DECAY gets the top spot once again for their liquid eyeliner, which is jam-packed with sparkles and comes in an array of shades from eye-popping brights, to everyday neutrals. They’re super pigmented for a higher color payoff, and the precision brush allows you to deposit exactly as much glitter as your heart desires.
This drugstore fave—which comes in black, lavender, and bronze shimmer shades—resists bleeding and goes on like a dream. The best part? It’s on the more affordable side, so you can stock up on multiple shades.
This highly pigmented longwear formula comes in a pot, the smooth gel formula is incredibly versatile, and can be used to create everything from wings to tightlining.
Not sure what level of glitter you want? No problem, this eye pencil comes in glitter, shimmer, and metallic finishes, which you can wear alone or layer for a look that doesn't quit.
Sure, this liner comes in matte finishes—but don’t sleep on the shimmer. Celebrated makeup artist Pat McGrath is known for her creative, otherworldly makeup looks, so you can trust that this super-smooth waterproof eyeliner will deliver on every count.
While there are tons of black glitter eyeliners out there, it’s hard to really know which one to choose—until now. This one takes it to the next level with flecks of silver glitter infused in the jet-black pigment. With 12 hours of wear, this eyeliner will shine on till the morning light.
Want to wear glitter to work? We've got you covered with this pencil in a relatively subtle copper shade. Plus, the twist-up design means you'll never have to sharpen it.
If you're into metallics—like the universally flattering rose-gold—look no further than this liquid eyeshadow. While you can definitely find that shade, the long-lasting, flake-free formula also comes in other bold metallic shades with just the right amount of sparkle.
This gel liner gives you the best of both worlds, with a gel formula for a creamy and easy application, as well as impressive staying power. Once it sets (which takes a few seconds), it'll stay put wherever the day takes you—whether you're going for a run or kicking back by the pool.
If you're going to be filling along your waterline, you want two things: clean ingredients and a waterproof formula. This kajal pencil offers pigment without bleeding into the eyes, and it features aloe vera and vitamin E for a gentle, soothing feel.
Available in a vibrant array of colors, this liquid eyeliner has tiny sparkles that catch and refract light. It also features a flexible, super-precise brush to create every wing and shape imaginable, and it won't feather, smudge, or smear once it sets.
If you're dipping your toes into the world of glittery liquid liners, we recommend you start with this one. The applicator is soaked with pigment and dispenses just the right amount every time you swipe, thanks to its felt-tip design (plus the chunky handle) that make it easier for newbies to wield than skinny pens.
