On my waterline I've always liked gel liners. Nothing stays like a gel liner. I've used Sonia Kashuk, L'Oreal HIP, ELF, MAC Fluidline, and (I think) one from Sephora. They've all done WAY better than any pencil. To line my lower lash line I generally just use a good eyeshadow primer as a base then line with an eyeshadow and I never end up with smudging.

MAC smolder eye khol pencil is great and smudgable, but very pigmented and soft.
Inglot's AMC 77 black gel liner is amazing once its set nothing will make it move, perfect for the waterline.

I use Dior waterproof liner in Trinidad. The trick is to layer it. Put some in and wait a solid minute for it to set, then you can put more on and get a true solid black. I have oily eyelids and this stuff stays put. It's pricey but the cost pays for the lack of frustration.
