I have semi oily lids and this gel liner didn't last long for it to smudge around my eyes. Even with primer on, it smudge at the corners of my eye. It isn't that bad but I really don't like it when eye liners gather around the corners of my eye. It is not for me. The pros for this product though are it is very black and glides on smoothly when applied.

I have hooded lids and I found the gel to transfer easily, although I think it was very good for a more defined look. :)
Tips: Set it!!
I used to use this everyday until it dried up and I didnt know how to fix it :( I loved the way it lasted all day and the colour was super pigmented. It wouldn't smudge and could be easily removed with eye make up remover. It's a perfect little eyeliner when it doesn't dry up. I didnt like the brush it came with as I felt I couldn't really get the perect cat eyeliner with it so I just used an angled eye shadow brush.
I love liquid eyeliners and liked the blurb on this enough to buy and try. So easy to use and the brush is good. A little bit goes a long way. I have used it for so many soft to dramatic looks. Can slowly build up colour and enough time before it dries to correct mistakes. Most of these eyeliners usually take forever to dry which leads to smudging while blinking while waiting to dry...not this one.
Tips: Apply before eyeshadow for a subtle look or after for a more intense look. While still wet apply over with a glittery powdered eyecolour on a cotton bud to get a new look
I love this eyeliner. My sister owns this eyeliner and I absolutely always borrow hers whenever I go anywhere and want to look my best. I do happen to own my own liquid eyeliner but the gel sits so much nicer and looks more elegant. This is my all time favourite and I can't wait to get myself some once I finally get my hands on some money! ;)
I wasn't completely convinced with this product. It goes on easy enough, but maybe just that my skin is a bit oilier, it didn't stay put like I though it would. It tended to smudge quite easily and I found that I had to go over it with a black eyeshadow to stop it from smudging. Does give quite a good sharp flick though.
This eyeliner did exactly what it said it would - stayed put all day, went on easily, didn't irritate my eyes and was very pigmented. I am a barista and I sweat and touch my face a lot at work, and this stuff didn't budge at all. Great price for such a good product, too.
Tips: The brush will definitely get clumpy if you aren't careful about cleaning it during every use, so make sure to do that!
At first, I found this eyeliner great. It glided on smoothly on my lids and it was easy to create winged eyeliner application. I loved the brush, too. However, as days passed (take note, "days"), I started to notice that the make-up got cakey. It wasn't "gel"-ly at all. It would clump on the brush making it kind of thick and uneven. When it became like that, it was hard to apply it with precision. If it didn't become cakey/hard like that, I say I would give it 4/5.
Tips: I would clean the caked eyeliner from the brush with a tissue using a pressing motion between my thumb and index finger to preserve the shape of the brush. Storing the make-up at the right temperature would probably help (though it didn't, in my case). Check recommended disposal of make-up after opening (for instance, some eye makeup needs to be discarded after as early as 1 month) - I know it's disheartening but if that can save your skin from other issues then it's probably worth it.
I liked this before I saw the light. My problem with it is that it doesnt wear as well as I wanted. I found it smudged to easily and by the end of the day was faded. I have since moved on to my current gel eye liner which I swear by.
Tips: Keep it in your hand bag to top up and ALWAYS put the lid on tightly or it will dry out.
This product did not work at all with my super-oily eyelids. Within about half an hour it had smudged everywhere and looked awful. Even when using primer it still smudged. I would not re-purchase
