As an Asian woman with monolids, finding the best smudge-proof eyeliner has been one of my main beauty missions. Too many times, I've sported raccoon eyes and went out in public with liner transferred onto my upper lids. I am pleased to say that it hasn't happened since I've found the following products:

stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner, Intense Black*
was the first liquid liner that made me feel confident about my liner... staying all day. I stopped checking the mirror to see if my liner had migrated to other parts of my eyelid. I loved it so much that I recommended it to my other friends. I've had only one complaint from a friend who had been using it with no problems. But when she started putting moisturizer on her eyes before the liner, she said that the liner would come off. That has never happened to me, and I also apply moisturizer/eye cream before putting on my makeup. I always make sure to put on an eye primer and then powder after I allow my moisturizer to absorb. I swear those two steps are the key to my liner staying in place. So if you have any transfer/smudging occurring with eye liners, definitely try adding those steps to your makeup regimen.

This is the eye primer I've used for years.
