Is an expensive eyeliner worth it over a drugstore one?

Based on rating volume and average alone, budget options punch well above their price: the $3 e.l.f. liquid liner holds a higher average rating than several picks costing five to seven times more. Premium liners like Stila, Anastasia Beverly Hills, and Clinique earn strong ratings too, but our data does not show a clear quality gap large enough to assume price predicts performance.
