Gel Eyeliner....have you discovered it yet?


Let's play a game, what do you get when you mix your traditional Kohl eyeliner pencil that you have been using since middle school with one of those fabulous but yet hard to apply liquid ones that makeup artist absolutely love to rave about? Well, I'll tell you because if your not in the know then your losing out big time! The best new type of eyeliner on the market today is this genuis little gem called Gel Eyeliner. It goes on with the ease of a kohl liner but gives you the look of perfection that you love about the liquid ones. But that's not even all, it comes in an array of bold and bright colors so your not just limited to black and brown. This is great for your red carpet moments and your close-ups! Drugstore brands haven't started putting these on the market yet but they can be found at MAC and BB makeup counters in your local mall. Look to MAC first if your interested in the bold and bright colors.





Your gel eyeliner will last you quite awhile for your money. Costs range from 18-28 bucks a pop. I've had mine for almost a year now with a third still remaining. It's very small, usually comes in a pot similar to lip balm (as seen above) and it's easy to travel with; although you must take your Eyeliner brush with you for application. The brush costs no more than $28 bucks and I usually store it in a plastic ziplock bag when I'm traveling which keeps things from getting messy. The cost of the brush is also pretty minimal considering that it will last you forever! No need to purchase multiple brushes either for different color uses. It wipes off easy and clean in no time. Soap, water, tissue off and done. The brush has a soft tip that is cut in an angle perfect for applying liner to your eyes. After only 2 or 3 sweeping motions you have already lined your eyes to perfection. No drippy mess to worry about, no thick pencil leaving an uneven line, no debris falling into your eyes & no sharpening ever. Seriously ladies, run...don't walk to add this little Gem to your collection if you like a chic, model finish!
