Just in case anyone needs this tip: I always place my gel pots (for brows or liner) upside down on a piece of tissue when I'm applying so that it decreases the amount of time that it's exposed to air, thus slowing down the dry out process.
If every makeup youtuber had done reviews like this, they'd probably still have audience trust. This was great. The wear-test is something I can never find. Everyone just gets a buttload freebie PR packages, they put the products on, hype them up, then immediately take them off. That's not useful for discerning audience when it comes to finding products that actually wear well. This is actually one of the best makeup reviews I have ever seen. Probably the best.
What a great review of pot liners! The fact that you included high end and drugstore was so unique. I appreciate you showing us how they applied, as well. Thanks so much for taking the time to test all of these products and post your findings. 😍
step 1: invest in a mac 263 brush, or any very fine, thin slanted liner brush. it's easier to work with a thin line first and thicken, than it is to begin with a thick brush. Recently got the loreal eyeliner in this vid, used it with the stock brush, GARBAGE. used it with my 263, it's heaven. brushes make a difference! I don't think it's fair to compare products when using different brushes, but otherwise nice video :)
YES! The brush can make all the difference! I haven't tried any MAC liner brushes, but I have a review on some of the liner brushes that i have in a separate video ❤
I’m in love with how HELPFUL this video was!!!! I know you filmed this some time ago but omg you’ve got a subscriber for life in me!!!! Makeup & beauty has saved my life and warded off deep depression this year and I’m so extremely thankful 🙏🏽💖
This is really a life-saving (money-saving) video! I always feel painful about my panda eyes after applying some "water-proved" or "long-lasting" eyeliners. Got some very practical advices :) I am so surprised when I only see around two hundred of likes below the video. This review video should get at least thousands of likes (and thunders of applauses!)
I used to love gel liner so I wanted to find a good one to try using it again. This video is 3 years old and still the best most informative video I've found
Some of these are discontinued but have you tried ELF cream eyeliner? It’s very soft but very black. I think the brown one compares to Clinique gel liner and it’s really good.
I love ur makeup look in this vide... please, could you make us a complete list of all the products u used here - atleast the eye shadow, lipwear, blush?? Thank you in advance.
I've been trying to obtain the BEST black gel liner for like the past week!!! This really helps after several returns, I have decided on the STILA!!! ✌🏽💕🦋
So I didn't watch the video in it'd entirety earlier and I went to Ulta just to see what they'd recommend for what I was looking for and they told me to try the Stila and I'm so glad I got it! Finished watching the video to see what you thought, glad it was the winner!!
Thanks for watching... I haven't tried them. I tend to stick with products that I can get at Ulta, Sephora, or a major department store. I get lazy with ordering from individual brands ;)
What color in the Mac did you get.? Is it the soft black ok not black enough for me I know they have another gel pot…. What’s the best dark black affordable gel pot liner.? I usually use the stilia liquid pen.
Hi. Enjoyed your review of gel eyeliners and agree with your best choices. Right now, I am loving the Bobbi Brown gels, but would also try some of the colors in the Maybelline - just to see! This is off subject, cut what color lipstick are you wearing? So pretty. \
Hello. I enjoyed watching your video. I bought the maybelline gel liner today. They’ve changed the brush and new formula apparently. Have you tried it recently? Xx
I love the Tartist eye liner, best I’ve ever had but it squirts out to much so I’d use a left over pot and squirt it all out the first time. Hate the brush. But apart from all that I wish more eyeliners came at a looser disposal because Tartist can be hard to come by
I dont know about the loreal but the maybelline is the best! Love it! It's so black, it's smudge proof and I actually like the brush. Idk how you get anymore pigmented than the maybelline
Awesome video beautiful, you’ve done a thorough job on testing all these gel liners, I don’t think you did the Morphe gel liner but I’d just try the ones that you’ve recommended. Thanks for sharing your experience with us , Cheers 🥂
I actually haven't tried any Morphe makeup that I know of. I think it's available now at Ulta, but I don't think it was when I made this video and I don't tend to go for brands that aren't easily found in a Sephora or Ulta
I decided to just order it the inglot gel other day.. I am the queen of bad liner, because nothing stays put on me. I'm still willing to think there is my holy grail product out there somewhere! Thanks for the reply. :)
Hi this video is really thorough! I am curious: btwn mabelline and essence,which one you like better and why? i hv the mabelline one and it lasted me for 2 years. It does transfer and smudge. i am considering getting the essence one. i hv tried their eyeliner pencil! love it!
I haven't really used either one much after this video, but I've used the Maybelline one more often so I'm more familiar with it... to be honest the Stila one is the only one I would use again if I used a gel liner... I really only use a felt tip pen when I do liner😀
Hi Sarah! My first vid of yours, and this review has been much more helpful than others, but didn't feel like 30 mins lol. From what I saw, the Bobbi Brown one smudged less than the Stilla. I know the UD was starkly different to the Stilla, but how would you compare the BB one to it specifically?
Thanks so much! I don't know if there is a huge difference, but the Stila is the only one I've reached for since this video... I do tend to prefer pen liners for their ease and convenience, so I don't use any of these regularly. I hope that answered your question❤❤❤
New subscriber here. Starlet, did you ever end up doing a gel liner brush review?? If so can you message me the title... or... have you discovered the best one?? Oh and FYI, I work at Ulta. Everyone needs to know that the less popular brands have OLD stock that sits in the warehouse for a year, and then it gets shipped to the retail store and probably sits in the back in overstock for six months, and THEN it moves to the floor. If it is not a big seller, it may sit on the shelf for a year. Be aware that the long time since production and packaging will definitely impact the product’s quality and performance.
I appreciate your coverage of the gel liners. I usually use pencils but wanting to lean towards gel liner...maybe. I do have a question............Do you put anything on the bottom? Liner? Mascara? Nothing? I usually put a little liner on the bottom but it always ends up smudging. Ugh.
Do you mean the bottom lash line? I don't always put anything there, but sometimes I'll use a small flat brush and put a little powder shadow on my lower lash line... it's softer than liner. I sometimes use mascara on my bottom lashes (I actually have a review comparing 2 bottom lash mascaras)... but for everyday I usually forget😀
Kathy Sica try the Essence Extreme Lasting Eye Pencil. I almost always wear liner on my bottom water line, plus I work in the heat a lot, and it's the only one that doesn't smudge on me (and lasts all day)! My eyes tend to get really red with waterproof formulas normally but this one just works perfect for me. It's super inexpensive also, like $3.
I LOOOOVE THE Tartiest gel liner but that tube it comes in is the worst!!! The gel will harden inside of the tube so you have to squeeze and sometimes it will all jump out at you at once and it wasted a lot of my product.
Do you recommend gel liner or liquid liner for someone who isnt super experienced with liner? I also have hooded eyes. Im just not a pro at make up but i would say im better than average.
I recommend starting with a pen liner. It’s much easier to work with. Even now that I’m super comfortable I still use a pen liner. I have a review on those. My favorite is the Stila Stay All Day
I went to Ulta and asked the salesperson what a good gel liner would be and she directed me to the Stila smudge pot. I took it no hesitation and my first apply was so smooth and beautiful, as I bought it with a great brush. Team Stila all the way!!!
This video helped me if I should try pot and gel eyeliners! So I guess for me those are gonna give me extra work 😩😩. Btw, is it just me or there's something about your eyebrow liner that's ermmm... 😐🤔
I am genuinely surprised to hear that the Maybelline is creamy. I have purchased it on three occasions and it is one of those awful dry chalky liners. The colouration and the duration are fine, but it is massively difficult and frustrating to work with it. The brush was awful as well, I didn't even bother.
I would be more likely to believe the reviews, you know they are not getting paid (unfortunately some UA-camrs don't disclose) and they're not trying to kiss up to the company. In situations like that I would always believe the ones who have the least to gain ❤
The Chanel one is terrible from this video. ... are you kidding me?? I just bought it and its a niche shop that refuses returns. I have yet to even open it. What the heck

I use MAC 266 brush and I've had it for over 10 years. Some fraying but keeping them cleaned and conditioned often helps.
What you need is a 1/8 angled brush from an art store. Best for applying eyeliner.
I’m in love with how HELPFUL this video was!!!! I know you filmed this some time ago but omg you’ve got a subscriber for life in me!!!! Makeup & beauty has saved my life and warded off deep depression this year and I’m so extremely thankful 🙏🏽💖

The abh ones are amazing and the elf one is really good. My abh gel pot lasts all day without moving and it’s super black
Really appreciate the wear test and how thorough this was!
OMG I LOVE HOW YOU TIME STAMPED EVERYTHING YOU'RE THE REAL OG💕
I had a ton of requests for it, so glad it’s helpful 😊
She is right, her recommendations are spot on.
Thank you so much!
I appreciate this video so much, thank you for that! It's very knowledgeable and I've learnt a lot I know which liner I want now 😊
So glad I could be helpful!
First time watcher. You're wonderful. Really give all products equal chance to prove themselves. Well done.
Honestly this is some great and helpful content. It’s saved me time and money.
So glad I could be helpful❤❤❤

Thank you so much for this video because I was think about getting the clay pot liner and this really helped me decide I I want it
So glad I could be helpful!❤
i appreciate this!!! i'm into bobbi brown. i love how everyone i thought would do well did, other than urban decay
Yeah, that one surprised me too!
Excellent review on gel liners. The best I have seen. Thanks much.
Thank you!
Such a gorgeous video you deserve millions
Good luck :*

very well done girl thanks for giving all info keep it up
Thanks so much!!❤
What liner were you wearing for your cat eye when you did the final review and spoke about all of the eyeliners altogether? It looks so good 😻
Thanks.. it's actually the Milani Stay Put Matte in Brown. It's been my go-to when I'm in a hurry :)
So I didn't watch the video in it'd entirety earlier and I went to Ulta just to see what they'd recommend for what I was looking for and they told me to try the Stila and I'm so glad I got it! Finished watching the video to see what you thought, glad it was the winner!!
Love that❤❤❤❤
Loved your review. You should also try the NARS gel liner in black valley. That is the most intense black one I've found so far.
Oooh I'll have to try that one! Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks for the review, It's very informative. Have you ever tried the inglot?
Thanks for watching... I haven't tried them. I tend to stick with products that I can get at Ulta, Sephora, or a major department store. I get lazy with ordering from individual brands ;)
What a helpful video! Thank you!!
So glad I could be helpful!!❤
I wouldnlike to know how you compare your favorites against inglot which I love
Excellent video, thanks you so much!
Thanks!!❤
Thanks for such a detailed, thorough video. Very helpful!
Thanks so much for watching!!❤
Thank you so much for putting tike stamps!
You're welcome! It was requested in several videos like this...and I want to make content that people feel is helpful❤
Love your hair color! ❤
Thanks!!❤
could you plz do a eyebrow gel/pencil about anastasia/shu emuera/etc review? enjoy your videos a lot!
Thanks so much! I have a few brow videos already, but I'll definitely be testing more ❤
she's really thorough and I watched the entire video, going to stick with my bobbi brown Caviar Ink for my perfect flick!
Thanks so much for watching!!!❤
Is L'Oreal infallible matte or shiny? And if applied on upper lashline will it transfer to lower one?
What color in the Mac did you get.? Is it the soft black ok not black enough for me I know they have another gel pot…. What’s the best dark black affordable gel pot liner.? I usually use the stilia liquid pen.

Thank you so much! This video was a while ago, but I'm guessing it's either Kylie Cosmetics Koko K or Charm ❤
Hello. I enjoyed watching your video. I bought the maybelline gel liner today. They’ve changed the brush and new formula apparently. Have you tried it recently? Xx
I haven’t tried it recently, I typically use a felt tip liner when I do a cat eye lately
Can u do liquid liners in deep brown
Would you say the l'oreal one dries pretty matte?
Thank you, it helped a lot!
So glad❤
I love the Tartist eye liner, best I’ve ever had but it squirts out to much so I’d use a left over pot and squirt it all out the first time. Hate the brush. But apart from all that I wish more eyeliners came at a looser disposal because Tartist can be hard to come by
Love that idea!
Can you test Inglot 77 gel liner please? :) thanks for this video!
I'll have to try that one, I've never tried any Inglot before.. thanks for watching!!
I love your skin gurllllll
Thanks so much!!❤
I dont know about the loreal but the maybelline is the best! Love it! It's so black, it's smudge proof and I actually like the brush. Idk how you get anymore pigmented than the maybelline
YES!!❤
Maybelline gel liner is best too im using it for years
Please try sigma and inglot 77 they are gorgeous :)
I'll have to check those out!
Really nice et useful vidéo, thank you :)
Thank you for watching!
What lipstick were you wearing in the beginning? It's gorgeous!
It's my MAC lip liner in Soar, and the Kylie Cosmetics Velvet in Charm...one of my favorite combos❤❤❤
Awesome video beautiful, you’ve done a thorough job on testing all these gel liners, I don’t think you did the Morphe gel liner but I’d just try the ones that you’ve recommended. Thanks for sharing your experience with us , Cheers 🥂

The elf ones are really good I just wish they hadn’t discontinued the metallic purple one. Luckily I have it.
Loved this review. Have you tried the inglot gel liner in 77 (black) ?
I haven't yet, but it's been highly recommended!
I decided to just order it the inglot gel other day.. I am the queen of bad liner, because nothing stays put on me. I'm still willing to think there is my holy grail product out there somewhere! Thanks for the reply. :)

Everyday Starlet Thank you!
Before putting the eyeliner, what creme did you have in your lids? its beautiful.
I don’t remember specifically but it was probably a discontinued Maybelline shade that I wore all the time, Bad to the Bronze
Tony moly gel eyeliner is really really good too!!!

Thank you! That one would be my pick
Hands down Bobby brown eyeliner brush is the best,,,I’ve been using it for years!!!

You'd think they could get the packaging right!
I want to know about your blush color I love that pink plssss reply
I don’t typically wear much blush, but it’s likely from Hourglass
Great video for me no eyeliner can compare to inglot 77 gel liner

YES! Stila makes the best liners, I use the Stay All Day liquid liner as my go to, and gel liner when I'm in the mood for something dramatic
I love yout hair!
Thank you ❤️
what's a price
Which one you recommend? That will not gives you the line on the top?
The Stila is my favorite, but I find with all of them I need a shadow primer to prevent transfer
Your hair color is perfect for you❤️
Thanks so much!!❤
Elf liner please 🙏

So helpful
So glad❤
I would love to see a video with the liners on the bottom thats the true test
I actually never use liners like this on my lower lash line, so I didn’t think to do it at the time
What is your favorite brush for gel liner?
I'm so used to my Bobbi Brown, but I think I'm going to do a whole video just comparing brushes... thanks for the idea!
can you try the pretty vulgar against the inglot amc liner 77? nice detail comparison vid!
I'll have to check out the inglot
Good video
What foundation and shade are you wearing
The Too Faced Born This Way in Nude
I am genuinely surprised to hear that the Maybelline is creamy. I have purchased it on three occasions and it is one of those awful dry chalky liners. The colouration and the duration are fine, but it is massively difficult and frustrating to work with it. The brush was awful as well, I didn't even bother.
This is a really old review, it’s possible that the formula has changed
Thanks sis! 🙏🏿
Thanks for watching❤
torn between the stila and maybeline
thank u so much
Thanks for watching!!
What causes gel liner to run or smear after a hour or so
Most likely sweat or the natural oils of your skin
Which one is the winner???
The Stila ❤
Te falto inglot
what is your lip color? :)
I believe this is Kylie Cosmetics Velvet in Charm ❤
I really wish she would have used the same brush with every eyeliner .. can’t compare them while using different crappy brushes
Sorry you didn't find the video helpful, I tried my best to show a good comparison
Thanks baby girl!
Thanks❤
Please try out Sigma every UA-camr makes a big deal out of it and the reviews says it sucks idk if I should buy it or not
I would be more likely to believe the reviews, you know they are not getting paid (unfortunately some UA-camrs don't disclose) and they're not trying to kiss up to the company. In situations like that I would always believe the ones who have the least to gain ❤
Or do a makeup tutorial of ur makeup at the beg of this video, please?
This video is pretty old, but I can try to put together the look in a tutorial❤
@@Everydaystarlet please do! If u haven't yet before. Im sure everyone will love that as well!
Working on it now❤
Sounds like Stila put their money into the actual liner instead of the packaging! Kudos to Stila! Thanks!
Hahah we all have a difficult eye
The Chanel one is terrible from this video. ... are you kidding me?? I just bought it and its a niche shop that refuses returns. I have yet to even open it. What the heck
If you can't return it then give it a try, you may like how it works on you. Everyone is different
💕
I wonder if you've used majority of it by now haha
Barely made a dent in any of them😀
so osam
