Eyeliners are my favorite makeup product.I never even leave my the room without wearing eyeliner :-D
I use all variety of eyeliners from Liquid to eye pencils.My absolute favorite finish in eyeliner is intense black,matte looking liner which stays put and doesn't smudge.I found out that gel liners can achieve this look.

Gel eyeliners are creating such a sensation all around the fashion world that I just had to get one. Maybelline studio Drama Gel eye liner was the only gel liner available in the local market, but it was for PKR 1250.So,I waited for a cheaper alternative.When I heard about Catirce Gel eyeliner,I thought I must give it a try.So,how was my experience with it.Read more to find out.
I got this eyeliner from Beauty Arena in PKR 750.Here is the haul post.Here is a review of the website.
What I noticed and liked the most about this product is that quantity is more then enough.A good 4 grams.I have also come to know that it doesn't dry in the pot after sometime (like Maybelline Studio Drama Gel Eyeliner).
The color I have is "Jack Black With Black Jack"...a very rich black and a very interesting name.

I just LOVE this eye liner.It is easy to use,smudge proof,stays put all day.It gives the richest black line in a single swipe.It is very unlike the cream eyeliners,which give a grayish line,that you have to build.
It doesn't even fade as the day passes.I apply it in the morning and even at night,it is there with all its richness and glory.
It doesn't feel heavy,like you are wearing something on your lash line.It doesn't flake or look chunky at all.
It is great for day,as well as night time wear.The intense black color will give your eyes a necessary matte highlight without looking over done during day,and at night time the dramatic look you can achieve with this is amazing.
The most common problem I encounter with eyeliners is that,when wearing eye makeup,they just fade into the eye shadow colors. Not this baby.It stands out beautifully,without looking fake.
You have to apply it with a brush.I got mine from Rivaj in 75 PKR. Always Clean the brush after application(with a makeup remover) or it harden when the eyeliner on it dries up.
All in all,I just love my little jar of gel eyeliner a lot.It is worth all the time I had to wait until it was available at BEAUTY ARENA..
RECOMMENDED:
If you want an eyeliner which stays put,even in the scorching heat of summers in Pakistan.
If you have oily Eyelids.
If you want a rich black eyeliner,which stands out.
RATING:
God knows this product deserves more hearts from me :) |
PS:Catrice has a sister company ESSENCE.They also have gel eyeliner which is easily available in departmental stores.I have tried that too and sadly I didn't find it as great as catrice. It just dries up so fast that it is a total waste.
Here it is with makeup:
I am wearing silver cream highlighter on cheeks...its not fall out of shadows :) |

I hope you like this post.If you are shaky with your eyeliner and like the technique that I use for liner application,and want to know about it do let me know and I will do a post on it very soon :) .

DeleteSister of my Essence gel eyeliner :D I so am gonna try Catrice gel eyeliner once my Essence gonna finish up.. Thanks for sharing xx
ReplyDeleteoh yes.As I have mentioned in the post.Essence is easily available though.
Deletei need one, its usually out of stock.
ReplyDeleteI'm really jealous of girls from Pakistan/India/Middle Eastern can do their eye makeup. You girls have the perfect complexion/eye shape for beautiful dark eyeliner! I would look like a raccoon!
ReplyDeletehahaha.It just takes some working to figure out the best look that highlights your better features.I love the way you can wear pretty pink lipsticks and neutral eye shadows.And of course you wont look like a racoon.You are so pretty that you will have to go HORRIBLY wrong with makeup to look bad.
DeleteIt's always out of stock in my local cosmetics stores, I got the essence one and that is good. Great detailed review :) x
ReplyDeleteessence and catrice have almost same products I guess.
