When I wear contact lenses, my eyeliner leaves hazy streaks across my lenses as the day goes on. anyone have recommendations of eyeliners that don't do that?

For the top I prefer gel, and on the bottom I use black eyeshadow.. It never smudges like pencil.

@Rayanne, I know the feeling :/ my eyeliner used to do the same thing & it drove me bazerk!
ever since I bought my MUFE Aqua Eyes waterproof liner, I haven't had that problem. it also goes on really smooth & is super black.
you can also set your liner with a black eyeshadow to give it extra staying power :p
hope I could help! xx

Try the new Urban Decay liners! (New pencil formula, gel, twist up, and liquid) I'm most impressed by the new pencil and the liquid. Won't come off!

I wear contacts and have the same problem with drugstore e yeliners. I now use Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner and it lasts for hours with no streaks. Love it!!

I wear contacts and have had this problem with EVERYTHING until I took a small liquid liner brush (photo below) and started setting it with a matte black shadow. The size of the brush helps to not get shadow in my eye :) I also use Maybelline eyestudio in black. Also, if I get mascara or shadow or something on my lenses, I dip a qtip into contact solution and GENTLY wipe it off the lenses! I hope this helped :)
