Make Over Monday: Gel Liner


My friend Sachi let me use her gel liner and since I refused to use anything else. I love that it lasts all day and doesnt smudge. I use a soft small angle brush like the 263 MAC brush. There are many brands of gel liner on the market and I have used a couple. Fluidline by MAC is great but at $15 a container I expected it to work miracles! It worked well but I found a product at half the price that does the same thing. Maybelline Lasting Drama 24 Gel Eyeliner cost $7.94 at Walmart and gets the job done perfectly.



Anyway, here is how to apply it and the results.

  1. Lift the corner of the eye gently. Do not pull to hard or you will add wrinkles!
  2. Apply gel eyeliner to your brush and start drawing a line from inner eye keeping as close to the lash line as possible.
  3. Draw the line right to the end of the eye. I like to flick it upwards slightly at the end when I'm going for a more dramatic look but if you prefer something more natural, then let it taper off where your eye naturally ends.
  4. I like to run the brush along my lower eyelids along the lash line without refilling the brush for definition also.
  5. Tah dah!

I find this product to be a must have! I can do so much with it depending on the look I want to achieve. Pencil, and liquid liners don't come close. If you haven't tried it go pick some up!


Stay beautiful,
