Best Gel Eyeliner?
My favourite gel liner by Essence has sadly been discontinued. It knocks the socks off of MAC and Bobbi Brown and at a fraction of the price I was happy living with that. I've tried the Maybeline one but it wasn't nearly as black, creamy or fast drying. Does anyone else have any other options? It really needs to be one that sets because I like to double them up as bases.

Will never buy Mac or BB again! Sep 02 13 08:39 am Link I did like Lasting Drama but compared to the Essence one it just wasn't as good, oh well you win some you lose some I guess! I do have to say the brush that comes with it makes an awesome lip brush. Sep 02 13 04:09 pm Link ammyranth wrote: I just picked some up today at Walgreens. Saw it at Ulta yesterday too, and it looks like they sell it on their website: http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/product … d=cat80042 Sep 02 13 08:30 pm Link I swear by the L'Oreal gel liner - it's absolutely faultless and affordable. Very black, buttery texture, doesn't budge or transfer, dries in a reasonable time. Sep 02 13 08:45 pm Link Ben Nye liners from CRC are gorgeous! Sep 02 13 09:12 pm Link LR MUA wrote: Thankyou! I will totally try it out Sep 02 13 09:42 pm Link LC Makeup and Styling wrote: Awesome, next order I do I'll make sure to include it Sep 02 13 09:43 pm Link Luxe Looks April wrote: Haha, that's ok, I just managed to purchase two off ebay, sadly it cost me $30 but still worth it in my opinion. I emailed essence directly a week or so ago asking if they would ship me some, apparently they have no stock left in their warehouse.

Applying out-of-date/old eyeliners to clients' eyes would be risking their health I'm sure your aware Sep 03 13 02:31 am Link This is for my personal use but I love the gel liner by Physicians Formula. When I've bought it in stores, it has come with two stacked together, brown and black. It goes on smoothly, doesn't crease or smudge, and lasts until you wash it off vigorously! Sep 03 13 02:44 am Link My fav is MUFE Aqua Black Sep 03 13 10:34 am Link I personally really love using Collection's gel liner. It's highly pigmented and stays on for hours  Sep 03 13 12:41 pm Link LR MUA wrote: All good! Thanks for the pointer, i'm also a bit grossed out by people who buy out of date products. It's pretty common in Aus too because everything is twice the price and/or not available here so people buy off strawberrynet etc who don't have a good reputation when it comes to selling expired products!

Sep 03 13 04:24 pm Link Have you tried the gel liner by Catrice, it's an European brand as well. I love the essence, I'm still able to find it here in Singapore. I hope it's not discontinued for real. Sep 03 13 11:34 pm Link Bobbi Brown's gel liners are the best on the market. Hands. Down. Sep 04 13 10:27 am Link I like to use the MAC Chromaline in Black Black, It's much more opaque and inky black than fluidline, and it's nearly twice the quantity for only slightly more.

Sep 16 13 01:48 pm Link I love Elf's gel liner. Mac's fluid is good too. I tried wet and wild's and i didn't like it, it dried out really fast. Sep 21 13 06:52 pm Link I really like 'Starry Eyes' Gel liner... I get them from a local strip mall beauty store. I use the brown, and the black... love it. Sep 23 13 12:15 pm Link If you're in Australia- check out Napoleon Perdis China Doll Eyeliner. It's an Australian based makeup company and the liner comes in multiple colors and is NO joke. I use it for my photo shoots and prefer it over MAC Sep 24 13 02:15 pm Link |
