LOVE

Good product! Love the brush it comes with, obviosuly a professional makeup brush works better but for the money being paid.

I was nervous about using this as it seemed for difficult than a regular liquid eyeliner. But.. such easy application! If it was smudged easy to come off. Stayed throughout the day!

Does tend to smudge a bit, and the brush shape does make it hard to do thin discrete lines. Better for building a bold cat-eye look.

Overall: Good product, love the dense black.

Tips: Wet the tip before application. Allows for a smoother easier glide and a more cut line.

Amazing product

i was surprised by how well this worked. it glides on so smoothly that you are guaranteed a flawless finish! perfect for a winged liner. it is my go to gel liner. i might even go so far as to say its better than MAC's gel liner.

SO GOOD

this is my go to gel eye liner. it goes on smoothly, and has a nice matte finish which i love. it doesn't smudge and stays pigmented all day.

Tips: use a clean slightly damp angled liner brush for the best application

Good Product

I do like this gel liner, it is nice and dark and goes on easily. I find that it also lasts all day/night however this is when I use a good eye primer/Mac paint pot underneath. I found that it did smudge slightly on the top of my eyelid, however I do have quite hooded lids. I don't particularly like the brush that it comes with, that is the only thing I could say that they do need to improve on.

Tips: I would recommend using this product with a different brush, I really like using the purple real techniques eyeliner brush or with the Sigma eyeliner brush, I THINK it may be E05? its a small pointed brush which is amazing for gel liners.

Best, blackest gel liner

I've used this product for years. It was the first ever gel liner I ever tried and I was weary because the only reason I tried it was because it claimed to be intensely black and budge-proof. And it totally was!

It lasts for a good amount of time, it's easy to use and it doesn't dry out super fast like Mac's Blacktrack gel liner which is awesome because this is waaaaay cheaper.

Usually brushes and applicators that come with beauty products are overlooked but the one that comes with this is actually not bad to use at all. When I was starting out with make up and gel liner, I did use it and it was fairly easy to work with.

I also particularly love how it's not difficult to take off at the end of the day.

Tips: Despite me saying that the brush is usable, I do recommend using a different brush for more precision. I like the Urban Beauty United, "Luxury Liner" brush. Also wait for it to set for a minute or so before curling your lashes. :)

My first gel liner

I am so happy that I got this product because I have always struggled with applying liquid eyeliner and this gel liner is so much easier to apply yet it gives the same bold liner look that is achieved with liquid eyeliner. It still takes me a little bit of time to apply as I am still getting use to lining my upper lash line therefore I cannot wear this on a daily basis and need to set aside time in my routine to add this eyeliner.

The brush that it comes with is great to apply this gel liner with. I have also tried using my own brush that I already had and that works well too. It really depends on what is easiest for you to apply with. When I run out I will definitely be repurchasing this product as it has not failed me yet.

Tips: Only need to clean the brush every so often. I noticed after a few uses the brush that it came with seemed to get clogged with the product and gone kind of hard. I don't know if it is just me but it seemed even easier to apply it when the brush was like that. I will clean the brush eventually but I am liking the stiff-ness of the brush with a bit of product in it. Though you should clean your brushes often for hygiene purposes!

YAAAS-Blackest black

This eyeliner is amazing! I have Blackest black and let me just say... It's black. This stuff is the darkest eyeliner I've ever had and surprisingly it actually makes my eyes look much browner in contrast. The little pot it comes in is convenient and tidy to use. I don't actually like the brush because it's a bit too big for me. I prefer precision and like to gradually build the line. So I use a slanted eyeliner brush instead. The consistency is not too thin that it has a nice gel texture but not too thick that it clumps. It stays on great despite my horribly oily eyelids but is so easy to clean off with my makeup remover wipes. (I use almays oil free wipes). I've always preferred eyeliner pens but thought I'd give this a try and I'm liking it! Sure, if I wanted precision then I'd still go for my trusty eyeliner pen but this is better for a dramatic, winged look.

Gel Liner

This is a beautifully Pigmented gel liner. This glide on smoothly by using a angled liner brush you can achieve the perfect crisp line. This liner is long wear and perfect for dramatic looks. You can use it as a base for the perfect smoky eye. Only down side to this product is it dries up.

Tips: -use your hair dryer to warm the product up for easy application. - great for tightlining just put your black pencil in the liner and move it around so it collects product to tight line.

Lots to love!

Yes! I love this gel liner! I think it glides on really easily and has a beautiful smooth texture, I have it in black and it is nice and dark. It lasts a really really long time, I've never needed to reapply.

It comes in a small wee pot but don't let this deceive you, it goes a really long way so the amount is plenty!

It comes with it's own eyeliner brush but I found it too thick so I use my own thin angled eyeliner brush.

The only real con I can think of is that it is water resistant and sticks on like nothing else so you need a good makeup remover and brush cleaner!

Tips: Don't neglect to wash your brush, You'll have trouble removing the liner if you let it dry!
