Essence Gel Eyeliner: Review

You might remember this eyeliner from a previous haul, I said I was going to do a revview as soon as I could find a brush and guess what? I finally did!


I realize it took me some time but I really wanted a syntetic brush because I don't like brushes made with animal hair and MAC is a big no for me, shocker, I know. I looked everywhere for the Essence brush but I couldn't find it so my next choice was Elf, and let me tell you, Elf is not cheap in my country and it's hard to find so I did my research and found a place not too far away from me, and they actually had it so I got it. Two weeks later I went to Forever 21 and I saw a brush set that really caught my eye and it came with an angle brush so I got it too.


Two weeks after that, here we are and I've been using the eyeliner everyday.
A little fact about me: I love doing winger eyeliner but I also suck at it, my wings are always uneven so much that when I use a pen eyeliner I guide it with my nose so the wings are as even as I can get them, but I found that is way easier wih a brush . I´ve been using the F21 brush more because of the shape, but the elf brush is way better, the eyeliner applies better.

Lines I did with the F21 brush.
Lines I did with the elf brush.
 Now, as far as the eyeliner goes, I love it, it glides on super smooth, the color is a rich black which I love, it's waterproof and it lasts all day. It does smell weird and since I'm still new at this gel eyeliner thing I take too much with the brush so I have to clean it and some lumps form but nothing that can't be fixed.
So my veredict is, do get it, it's a great way to start using gel eyeliner. Also it's really cheap and you got to love that!
Leave me a comment to let me know what you think!
