Gel Eyeliners
Great eyeliner is essential to your makeup bag. Softer than a pencil, less stressful than a liquid, gel eyeliners provide a happy middle ground for Make Up novices and professionals alike. Not only is gel eyeliner great soft and silky against my lids, but it’s amazingly versatile—like, you can smudge it out to make the smokiest smokey eye, or let it dry down to make the sharpest, ultra-precise line. Eyeliner enhances your Skin and Beauty that lets you achieve the thickness and style your desire.
If you are just very concerned about the health and Well-Being of that cat-eye — it’s a good idea to use an eye primer first, which will keep the gel from transferring to your upper eyelid. Gel eyeliner that can give you the very best elements of a liquid and pencil.
