Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner

While I'll use a pencil eyeliner in a pinch and always have one in my bag, my go to move is always either a "gel" or just a dark eyeshadow. I think the pencil is way harder and if you can't draw in a straight line, using a brush is 100 times easier. Gel eyeliners are all the rage now but I'm pretty sure Bobbi Brown was first. They come in colors you haven't even thought of yet and go on so smoothly it'really easy to apply without looking like an idiot. They'll try to sell you the "appropriate gel eyeliner brush" with it but the version that Sephora makes is cheaper and actually a lot better.
