Gel eyeliner

In order to make the female look more charming there are many cosmetic products, including piping. There are also a lot of them, these are pencils, and liquid, and cream (gel) eyeliner. The last option should be discussed in more detail, since gel eyeliner is a relative novelty in the domestic cosmetics market.

How to use gel eyeliner?

Gel podvodka still conquers the hearts of lovers to draw arrows in front of her eyes, but she is predicted a great future. The idea of ​​the invention of this type of liner was the combination of the pluses of eye pencils and liquid liner. Perhaps this was not fully implemented, but nevertheless, gel podvodki has powerful arguments in its favor - it is persistence, relative ease of application, it is possible to shade (not all brands) or make a smooth transition, the coating is smooth and smooth. Also, unlike liquid, gel podvodkoy draw arrows can be strips, tearing off the hand. By cons of gel podvodki can be attributed to the fact that it in the container quickly dries up and to it you have to pick the right brush. Also gel podvodki usually enough proof, therefore that them to erase the special agent for putting off or taking out of a make up is required.

Some manufacturers sell gel eyeliner complete with a brush, and some offer to buy a brush separately. Which brush will be convenient for you depends on your skills of drawing arrows, and on the texture of the liner and on many other factors. But many consider the best resilient brush with a rounded tip, because it is very convenient for it to draw paint. Necessity is the care of this brush. To get smooth and clear lines. Do not forget to wash the brush with running water and soap.

What kind of gel tube is better?

The rating of gel guides is quite difficult to make, because speaking about quality, we rely on the price, using statements like "for this price the quality is not bad" or "I expected more for this price". In order not to become a hostage to this approach, we will evaluate several gel sub-leads from different price segments.

From cheap (costing up to 15 dollars) we will consider gel podvodku firms Essence, Avon and Maybelline. In the middle price segment (up to $ 25) got gel eyeliner from MAC, well, at the very top (more than $ 40) was placed gel piping from Bobbi Brown.

  1. Let's start, perhaps, with the pods from the company Avon. Gel can be called with a very great stretch - the texture is dry, because of what the brush is typed with great difficulty. For the same reason and draw a beautiful line of this podvodka impossible, it is applied by lumps. In addition, its resistance leaves much to be desired, after 10-20 minutes the arrows begin to blur, and by the end of the day only memories remain of them. The only advantage is the larger volume of the jar (12 ml) than the other (3-4 ml) manufacturers.
  2. Another product from the same price segment is Essence gel. The texture is creamy, without lumps, it is easy to be typed on a brush. On the skin, too, lies exactly, but quickly dries on the brush, that is, to straighten (shade) the arrow does not work. But the jar itself is quite sealed, so the liner does not dry out. Keeps the eyeliner all day and it's difficult to wash it off.
  3. The liner from Maybelline is similar in quality to the previous product. Differences in the fact that this podvodka slower drying, but keeps quite a long time, almost all day (although the manufacturer promises 24 hours). The obvious minus is that it is washed off with difficulty, "pieces", which get stuck between the cilia.
  4. Gel podvodka from MAC is similar in consistence to a fat cream, it is necessary to draw arrows quickly, because it can dry on a brush. Due to their dullness, the arrows are similar to those drawn with sharp sharpened pencil. Keeps this beauty all day, and is washed off easily without any lumps and divorces.
  5. The Bobbi Brown liner is also similar in texture to a greasy cream, it is also easily recruited and applied. As well as the product from the firm MAC well keeps on the eyelids and without problems is washed off. An additional advantage is the large selection of colors (13), which distinguishes the Bobbi Brown liner from the products of other manufacturers.
