I'm kind of a makeup newbie, and I always run into the same problem. By the end of the day, my eyeliner is smudged and I end up looking like a raccoon when I'm trying to mimic an edgy, off-the-wall model. But I have (finally) found a product that works, fits within my budget, and is delivered to my door within a day or two. It's Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Gel Eyeliner Pencil (opens in new tab) in shade "Black."

But don't take my word for it: this very pencil has over 10,000 5-star reviews on Amazon. Users swear by this pencil because of its safe staying power, clear color, and smooth gel-like texture. Some even claim to have slept through the night without fading.

Even better, it currently retails for less than $3 as part of Amazon's ongoing Holiday Beauty Hall event. (Open in new tab) It's not that expensive to begin with, but if you act fast, you can get it for under $5. Deals like this change daily, and this definitely won't last long.

Don't think for a second that this black pencil won't give you that smudged, unmodel-like look that is so popular right now. The creamy, waterproof pencil (opens in new tab) won't fade, crease, or flake off, even if you wear it all day. It's also meant to give you the perfect winged look in a snap.

Reviewers also claim that it works better than the most expensive eyeliner options on the market right now, proving that you can really save your money (opens in new tab) without sacrificing the way your makeup wears all day long.
