Cult Buy: The most-reviewed eyeliner on the internet that's as good as it sounds.

The world is a strange place. We’ll go out of our way to avoid talking to strangers on the bus (or even family members in the living room) but we’ll happily, even eagerly take recommendations from unknown faces online.

From Reddit to Mecca to Amazon, the online reviews of products are a must-read before you pass over your hard-earned cash.

And there’s one particular beauty product the strangers on the internet are close to unanimous about – Stila All Day Waterproof Liquid Liner.

According to Refinery 29, the best-selling eyeliner has almost 4000 reviews on Amazon – and they’re overwhelmingly positive.

“I’ve been using this eyeliner for a really long time now. I have purchased about four consecutively and they all last a really long time before they dry out,” reads one of the top comments.

Available from Mecca in Australia for $31, it's slightly more expensive than your drugstore options but you'll definitely get your money's worth.

For many, it's "the one" that has endured.

"I have used this eyeliner for the past three years and it never ceases to impress me," wrote one user on the Mecca website.

"So versatile and even gym proof. It's quick to apply and dries faster than the thicker formulas out there... lasts surprisingly long."
