Source: HiveTried, https://hivetried.com/beauty/eyeliner/for-oily-lids/
Category: Beauty > Eyeliner. Updated 2026-10-08. Based on 263 counted first-hand reports from Ulta and Sephora shopper reviews, Jan 2016 to Jul 2026.

**Question:** Which eyeliner stays put on oily lids?

**Short answer:** Benefit They're Real! Push-Up Liner has the best record for oily lids: 17 of 21 shoppers said it stayed put without smudging or fading, though that rests on a modest group. Each record counts just shoppers who said they have oily lids. The leader has no official Amazon listing, so the best pick sold on Amazon is KVD Beauty Tattoo Liner at 15 of 19, a close second. Benefit Roller Liner has the weakest record here at 19 of 40.

**What stands out:** Same brand, different results. Benefit's two liners sit at opposite ends of this list, and KVD Beauty splits too: Tattoo Liner is second at 15 of 19 and Ink Liner sixth at 9 of 16.
