Regardless of the time of year, you want an eyeliner that is easy to apply and stays put, without running or fading by noon. In the summer, you are battling sweat, humidity, and mid-afternoon thunderstorms thrown into the mix, making it really hard to keep your eyes smudge-free. In the colder months, you are battling seasonal colds and wind, which means your eyes will water more or your may rub them.

That's why waterproof eyeliners exist. Much like a bottle of wine, water-resistant eyeliners are one makeup product that doesn't have to be expensive to be good. Whether you swear by liquid liner or a kohl pencil, there are a ton of affordable options that you can pick up during a drugstore run. The best part? All of our favorites are under $11.

Keep scrolling for the 10 best drugstore waterproof eyeliners that won't budge, no matter the weather.
