Updated . How we count
Share of reviewers who stated an outcome for wear time. Ranked by the lower bound of a 90% confidence interval, so a product needs both a good share and enough reports to rank high.
Two liners swing depending on who is asking. Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner gets 20 of 24 at Ulta but 8 of 14 at Sephora, and MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Lip Liner works for 12 of 13 combination-skin reviewers but 4 of 8 oily-skin ones.
Praise and complaints are the points buyers repeat most, shown as a share of each product's counted store reviews.
Urban Decay
Best for creamy glide
100% of its reviews praise the wear and 89% call it creamy and easy to glide on. 22% also call it comfortable.
No repeated complaints yet.
MAKE UP FOR EVER
Best for combination skin
77% praise the wear and 53% like the shades. 20% say it fades fast and 7% find it drying. Its counted reviews are all from Sephora.
Too Faced
Same result at both stores: 14 of 18 at Ulta and 21 of 27 at Sephora. 22% of its reviews say it fades fast and 5% mention the price.
KVD Beauty
67% praise the wear and 43% like the shades. 23% say it fades fast and 10% call it too expensive. All its counted reviews come from Sephora.
Charlotte Tilbury
20% call it comfortable and 10% like the precise line, but 28% say it fades fast. A few find it drying (8%) or too hard (8%).

The 7 products ranked here carry 22,428 reviews at Ulta and Sephora. We searched them for wear time and read the newest matching reviews, up to 30 per product and store, posted between Jun 2020 and Sep 2026.
A review counts only when the reviewer used the product themselves. We drop reviews written in exchange for a free product or a sweepstakes entry (0 on this page), and products that are no longer sold.
Ulta also shows reviews first posted on brands' own websites. They run much more positive than store reviews of the same products (across 19 products with both, 76% of brand-site reviewers said the product solved the problem, against 55% of Ulta shoppers), so we show them on product cards but never count them.
Because we searched for the problem, people who had it are overrepresented. Compare products with each other rather than reading a share as your own odds.
Skin type, skin tone and age splits use what reviewers chose on Sephora's review form (and age on Ulta's when given). We only show a split when enough reviewers fall on each side.
Amazon buttons appear only on products that most reviewers here say fix the problem (at least 60%, with enough reviews to trust it). Everything else gets no buy link.
An AI model labels each review against a fixed list of points, and we spot-check the labels before publishing. We publish counts and link to the product pages, never the reviews themselves.
In these reviews, Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Lip Liner comes first at 18 of 18, followed by MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Lip Liner at 24 of 29 and Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme Lip Shaper at 35 of 45. KVD Beauty Everlasting Lip Liner sits close behind at 20 of 25.
28 of 38 reviewers who mentioned wear said it lasts. 28% of its reviews say it fades fast, and it did better at Ulta (20 of 24) than at Sephora (8 of 14).
Mostly, by these reviews. 16 of 22 said NYX Slim Lip Pencil lasts, and 8 of 10 said the same about e.l.f. Cream Glide Lip Liner, though that is a small group. Both draw fading complaints, and NYX Slim Lip Pencil has the weakest record on this page.
35 of 45 reviewers said it lasts, which makes it the one most reviewers weighed in on. 22% of its reviews mention fading, and it held up the same at Ulta and Sephora.
