There is something addicting about liquid eyeliner. From the very first time I mastered that perfect swoop of black lusciousness, I was hooked. That perfectly defined, flirtatiously winged sweep has been a classically sexy look for decades and will likely be for many more. Achieving that perfect line though, has been notoriously tricky with the traditional liquid liners, but gel eyeliners promise the desired definition, with a much easier application!
My first foray into gel eyeliners was with the celebrated Bobbi Brown long-wear gel eyeliner. This product is most definitely worth the price - at only around $20 you can get one of the best eyeliners I've ever tried and enough of it to last you literally forever!! This great eyeliner lasts all day without fading or moving even a millimetre, and was super easy to apply. Just lightly dab your eyeliner brush into the pot, cover with the cap (to prevent drying the product out), and with light brushstrokes, apply to your eyelid with ease. Now, since I'm a practiced user of liquid eyeliner, my enthusiasm for the the ease of this eyeliner needs to be taken with a grain of salt. If you're more eyeliner challenged, then check out this tutorial below to get some great tips and realize just how simple gel eyeliner is.
Final Verdict: Awesome product, lasts all day and removes easily too! Highly recommended.
On an unrelated note, I also love how this tutorial features the gorilla pod, which is what I use to take my photos as well! In fact, even her camera looks eerily similar!

Wow, I need to look into this. I love my shu uemura liquid liner.
I'll have to give this a shot...I generally prefer pencil for the speed and foolproof-ness of it, but have been wanting to find a good gel
oooh i love gel eyeliner. I currently am using MAC's gel liner in blacktrack but am always up for change--will def check it out! Thanks for the review :-)
thanks lady, I am definitely considering that one!
sounds amazing! i used to have a liquid eyeliner pen shaped but found the black was too black so swtiched to a navy coloured eye pencil with a smudge end, it's easy as it takes me 30 secs, but for a more perfect look i'll def try out this one! need a line brush too
