I
have two eyeliners that I usually reach for. My Primark pen liner and
this Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Gel Eyeliner. In my quest
to find an eyeliner that works well for me iv came across this one.
I
was a huge fan of the double wear foundation when I was younger, and
though the lightest colour was a little dark, it covered my
imperfections well. So hoping for the best I had picked up this
eyeliner and im glad to say its not done me wrong.
I
have the colour in black, and it comes across as black too. Sometimes
you get those eyeliners that say they are one colour but they lack
the pigmentation and look grey, brown or blue. This however is black.
Its richly coloured and very creamy to use.
I
only need to load up the bush once and can manage a clean looking eye
flick. The creaminess really helps with this as everything is so
fluid and no tugging is required.
Once
applied it sets and really does last all day. There is no clumping,
flaking or creasing just that original black line you drew. With it
no worse for wear than when you put it on. What surprises me is
though it lasts perfectly all day its very easy to be removed with a
bit of micellar water. Just leave it on the line for a few seconds,
swipe and off it goes.
The
only con I find for this is it does seem to wear off every so
slightly on the inner corner of my eye. I tend to rub my inner eyes
as they get irritated easily. However tears have not removed this
eyeliner as of yet.
When
I originally bought it was I really unsure about the price point,
being far more than what I had planed on paying. The product retails for around £19 which I now don't think is to extortionate
considering how product lasts a very long time. As you can see mine is very well loved. I would pay that
again for this gel eyeliner.
TIP:
store your gel eyeliners upside down, it will keep them usable for
longer.
What
is your favourite eyeliner? Let
me know down in the comments.
You can see examples of the eyeliner in use on my 'Makeup Monday' and 'FOTD Round Up Week 2' blog posts.

DeleteI bought a similar black gel eyeliner but from mac, but don't know how to apply it, it ends up all over my eye lid, any tips? I usually just got for liquid eyeliner.
ReplyDeleteI use avon eyeliner, never thought about Primark for make up. Is it any good?
ReplyDeleteI'm strictly a liquid eyeliner gal, but one of these days I will master the gel!
