Heyhey
lovelies!
So I am
the type of girl who likes a nice, bold eyeliner look. However, since I have
small, hooded and watery eyes, this is not always easy to do. When I first
started experimenting with make up as an early teen I used to come home from
school with eyeliner all down my face because the wind made my eyes water. So
after trying a shitload of different products I finally found the perfect
eyeliner solution for my hooded, watery eyes: gel eyeliner!
I
discovered gel eyeliner via my best friend who had bought a little pot of
Essence eyeliner and said that it was the best. I bought the same one and I
immediately fell in love with it: it came with a small brush to apply it and
for the first time I had an eyeliner that didn’t leave marks on my eyelids.
Usually with liquid eyeliners I could draw a perfect line, but since those
products don’t dry so quickly I would have a print of the eyeliner on the top
of my eyelids, because of my hooded eyes. Unfortunately, the Essence gel
eyeliner dried up after a few months and I had to buy another one. So I went to
my local drugstore and found this Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel
Eyeliner. And it is, by far, the best eyeliner I have ever used. It’s quite a
small pot and it’s not that cheap, but once you start using it you realize that
there’s actually a lot of eyeliner in that little pot. I’ve been using it for
about 3 months now and I think I could easily go another year with it, as long
as it doesn’t dry up.
This
eyeliner also comes with a small brush but I bought a separate eyeliner brush
because I didn’t like the one that came with it. It has a round tip and the
hairs are quite thick what makes it not easy to create a perfect line. I bought
a regular eyeliner brush from BE and the reason I bought this one is because
the hairs are put in a square and they are slightly longer on one side. I think
these types of brushes are the best for applying a gel eyeliner since they make
it so easy to create a wing at the end. They also give you the freedom of
drawing a really fine line as well as a bold, thick line, it just depends on
how much gel eyeliner you put on your brush.
So, I
hope I might have helped some of you with these tips, I know that gel eyeliner
to me has been a revolution. It makes my makeup look so much better and
professional!
Enjoy
your evening!
Lots of
love,
LFR
