In the canon of waterproof, smudgeproof eyeliner pencils, you can’t ignore Aqua Eyes from Make Up For Ever, the company that loves the spacebar.
The names aren’t completely consistent between Sephora’s website and MUFE’s, so it’s probably best to refer to them by number. I’m pretty sure the L stands for longwear (as opposed to the kohl pencils, which have a K).
These pencils are incredibly soft and creamy, and they’re really, truly, hours-in-the-surf waterproof (making them a favorite for use on the waterline). The MUFE website even suggests using them for temporary tattoos, claiming that (once dry), they’re resistant even to the rubbing of clothing. It doesn’t hurt that they also come in a fantastic array of colors.
Aqua Eyes are $17 each.

>Love these swatches and love these pencils, even though some colours last longer than others. They used to be known as Pearly Waterproof Eyeliner Pencils in the past. Aqua Eyes has a better ring and is certainly less of a mouthful!

>Hi, Karla.

Thanks a lot!
>I looked into it on their website, Belita, and it doesn’t look good. This page lets you order by phone/fax/mail, but it looks like you can only order from the U.S./Canada/Europe. http://www.makeupforever.com/ou_acheter_phone_en.html
Then this page lists all their locations worldwide, and the options are a little more extensive, but still nothing in South America: http://www.makeupforever.com/ou_acheter_boutiques_en.php
Damn!
