Best Gel Eyeliners!


Hello, my gorgeous fans! Today I want to talk about some of my favorite (and also least favorite) gel eyeliners. The appeal of gel liner is that you get the look of a liquid liner, but it is easier to work with. Until recently I literally could NOT use a liquid liner to save my life, so I only used gel. Now I actually do a combination of both, sometimes doing a gel liner first and then going over it with the liquid to intensify it! Anyway, back to the products!

One gel liner which is really popular, but I actually don't love, is the Bobbi Brown gel liner. My main complaint about it is that when you get it, it's really great, but I feel even just a WEEK after opening the container, it completely dries out and becomes less intense, even when you wet your brush. I even recall a pixiwoo video where they were doing a tutorial and said they had to buy a new one because there's had dried out so fast. It's actually a GREAT product, I just wish it lasted longer. A gel liner I actually DO like that I actually got into because of the pixiwoo girls is the Clinique gel liner. I've had it for a month now and it is still shockingly moist and applies like a creamy dream and comes with a pretty good brush to apply it.

Another gel liner that is really great is the MAC fluidline gel liner. It doesn't stay AS moist as the Clinique, but it's slightly easier to work with. The Clinique one is almost TOO creamy, like frosting or something (maybe a con?). I've also tried the Smashbox gel liner and I feel like that one dried out as soon as I opened it. Stila has these "smudge pots" that are pretty good and come in multiple colors, but they don't stay as well as the MAC and Clinique. Let me know if you have any gel eyeliners that you love that I didn't mention!
