If there's one kind of makeup I still haven't quite figured out, it's eyeliners.
Most probably because it's one of the most recent things I've started using.
Seriously, how does one not freak out at something sharp coming at your eye? Even worse when those make up counter ladies insist on putting eyeliner, and sometimes eyeshadow on your waterline (another word I only recently learnt). I can't even bring myself to bring make-up remover that close to my eyeball. Which leaves me looking like a zombie bleeding eyeliner for the 24 hours after my lame attempt at makeup removal.
So, when actually using eyeliners myself (lash line only!), I usually prefer pencils, simply because they're easy to use and mess-free. That is, until it's the middle of the day and I start looking like a raccoon despite having only put on a very thin line of eyeliner. Somehow, no matter what base, concealer, loose powder or whatever I try, my eyeliner still runs. Especially on hot, humid days.
Definitely no winged eyeliner looks on hot days. Ever!
So, I finally tried out gel eyeliner. The one I'm using is this bluish one by Face of Australia.
Having received this from someone, as opposed to buying it, I'm not too sure what the exact colour name it is, but checking out their site, it looks like I've got the purple one!
But it really does look more like a dark blue.
Whatever. It suits my skin tone. And my clothes.
I'm good.
I love it.
Still working on doing a winged eyeliner look with gel, though.
Yes, it is budge-proof!
My only complaint about gel eyeliners so far? Having to clean the brush!
