Gel Eyeliner

I was recently asked, "What makeup product has changed your life?"  I have a flare for the dramatics so this question was right up my alley.  Of course there are makeup products that have changed my life!  haha  The biggest victory in makeup for me was the day I discovered gel liners.


I have extremely oily eyelids, and well, I suppose the whole area around my eye--not just my lids.  I have always been on the hunt for an eyeliner that will stay put but never seemed to find it.  Whatever I tried always ended up a streaky smeared mess on the sides of my eyes.  

I can't remember what made me decide to try it but I picked up one from the drugstore one day by L'Oreal HIP.  I applied it and it really, really lasted on me all day and never moved.  I was shocked.  

I then started venturing into the idea of lining my waterline and tightlining with the liner because I had seen other people online claiming that is what they used.  I tried the L'Oreal on my waterline and my eyes swole up and turned red and I vowed to find another brand of gel liner.  I then tried MAC Blacktrack.  VOILA! I can now apply the liner to my waterline and have it last all day.  I then started buying gel liners from all brands.  Truly great stuff.  I advise you to try it if you have not.  

Thank you and have a great eyeliner-filled happy day!

  1. I really want to try a gel liner, I've had a MAC one used on me before and it was perfect. Although probably a bit out of my price range at the moment, I've seen the Maybelline one around so maybe I'll try that.
    Great post! xo

  2. I love gel eyeliner too. It's so much more versatile then pencil!

  3. What a fantastic idea about using it on the waterline; that would never have occurred to me! I've got a few Bobbi Brown Gel liners so I'll definitely give that a go :) And for those who are on a budget, Maybelline has brought one out now which is reviewing very positively.

  4. Hello, Laitae here:) Until recently I thought liner on top lid doesn't suit me and will always run/fade and look like a mess at the end of the day. I discovered Essence liner I'm hooked, love it!
