mikchol la-eynayim / aylayner
The use in Hebrew is of the transliterated word - aylayner (אייליינר). Mikchol la-eynayim (מכחול לעיניים)is the proper term, as this is not a pencil but rather a thin brush. Iparon la-eynayim is "eye pencil". The word "tseva" (color) is not added.

: Eyeliner is anything that draws a line on the eyelids, whether it's an eye pencil or a liquid eye liner. Mikchol la'eynayim is liquid eyeliner.

maskara
the Hebrew word "maskara" is not originally a Hebrew word. It's like they use "televisia" in Hebrew for the English word "television." that's the way it is with a lot of modern words in Hebrew.

Salit Levi
: "maskara", however, is not "eyeliner". It is used to "paint" the eyelashes, not the eyelids. And Dalia is right: they just write "אייליינר" (transliteration) in Hebrew, in advertisements as well as on the product itself.
