I am very particular about what eye liner i use as i already have dark shadows/rings under my eyes the last thing i need is for my eyeliner to smudge and darken the area under my eyes. a friend recommended i use a gel liner and so began the hunt for the ideal product. i tried a few brands which didn't appeal to me and then i discovered the Maybelline gel pots and from the first day knew this was the gel liner for me. firstly the brush that comes with the product is so good, the colour is intense and needs just one application and the liner glides on and stays in place with no smudge as i go about my day. i have been to the gym and post work out there was my liner looking as if i had just put it on. this is a definite must have in every gals makeup bag!!
