I often purchase liquid eyeliner with the felt tip. I was not surprised when this happens with drug store ones but it is happening to my Stila one too! I only get about 7 uses out of it And it dries out. I store it upside down hoping the ink will run to the felt. It still is dry. Is this what always happens? Or is there something I can do to revive it?

I stop buying felt tip liners for that exact reason. I just use the brush tip ones or my gel liner.

I've had the same problem with some (but not all) felt tip liners. Both of my Tokidoki ones did that. But when I was younger I used a Maybelline felt tip liner (I believe that it was called line stiletto?) and I didn't have that problem. But regardless, I switched to regular liquid eyeliner because I feel it was more pigmented, and it definitely doesn't dry out.

Veronica- I don't know much about liquid liners but maybe you could try storing them cap side up, to keep the liquid out of the tip bc maybe that's why they are drying out? Since the tip is where the cap is some air might be getting in there and slowly drying it out and more product flows in the tip and that dries out til you have nothing left in the tube.

I recently bought a felt tip liner from Revlon and it was a dud. I mean literally there was no makeup in the marker when I opened it, the marker was white! I didn't have the receipt so I couldn't take it back but I now just dip it in my gel liner and use it like that and it works really well!

I have the same Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eyeliner, The L'Oreal Super Slim Liquid Eyeliner, and the Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner. I have never once had a problem with them drying out so there must be something wrong here. Where do you store it? Depending on the temperature of where you store it, it can dry it up, or if you store it in a bathroom, etc. I personally store mine on it's side in my makeup case and I've never had a problem.

Try Kat Von D tatto liner. It is amazing. It's felt tip and goes on so smooth and easily and doesn't dry up. I used to use gel, but I'm hooked on this now.

I never have those problems either...if it is stored someone where it might very warm sometimes that happens...I sometimes dip it in water to help bring it to life again
