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.

[@Everydaystarlet]

Great tip!

[@danil.6667]

@@Everydaystarlet :)

[@UniQueLyEviL]

Smart

[@indicababy5513]

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 :)

[@Everydaystarlet]

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 ❤

[@candicewinzen1484]

I use MAC 266 brush and I've had it for over 10 years. Some fraying but keeping them cleaned and conditioned often helps.

[@thestormlscoming]

What you need is a 1/8 angled brush from an art store. Best for applying eyeliner.

[@karacreswell8437]

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. 😍

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!)

[@Everydaystarlet]

Thanks so much!!❤❤❤

This video saved me a TON on money. Thank you for posting!

[@Everydaystarlet]

[@TheBurrito171]

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.

[@farflunghopes]

Really appreciate the wear test and how thorough this was!

[@bathsalt79]

She is right, her recommendations are spot on.

[@Everydaystarlet]

Thank you so much!

[@jamiedelgado1484]

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

[@unabashedlybroken6789]

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

[@maheraxo]

OMG I LOVE HOW YOU TIME STAMPED EVERYTHING YOU'RE THE REAL OG💕

[@Everydaystarlet]

I had a ton of requests for it, so glad it’s helpful 😊

[@iAnimeChicky]

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 😊

[@Everydaystarlet]

So glad I could be helpful!

[@dianelang8867]

First time watcher. You're wonderful. Really give all products equal chance to prove themselves. Well done.

[@wendyraye]

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.

[@daisyrubio5136]

Honestly this is some great and helpful content. It’s saved me time and money.

[@Everydaystarlet]

So glad I could be helpful❤❤❤

Excellent review on gel liners. The best I have seen. Thanks much.

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!!! ✌🏽💕🦋

[@Everydaystarlet]

So glad I could be helpful!!❤❤❤

[@crmn912]

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.

[@firionflame4435]

Is L'Oreal infallible matte or shiny? And if applied on upper lashline will it transfer to lower one?

[@alinedamirror5528]

Thanks for the review, It's very informative. Have you ever tried the inglot?

[@Everydaystarlet]

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 ;)

[@nataliaacevedo6326]

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 😻

[@Everydaystarlet]

Thanks.. it's actually the Milani Stay Put Matte in Brown. It's been my go-to when I'm in a hurry :)

[@zahedah80]

I appreciate the time stamps...Thank You!

[@carriepotts903]

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!!

[@Everydaystarlet]

Love that❤❤❤❤

[@lisajones9442]

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

[@Everydaystarlet]

I haven’t tried it recently, I typically use a felt tip liner when I do a cat eye lately

[@MakeupByNoushin]

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.

[@Everydaystarlet]

Oooh I'll have to try that one! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@ryamrene9050]

very well done girl thanks for giving all info keep it up

[@Everydaystarlet]

Would you say the l'oreal one dries pretty matte?

[@drcherubkharbanda9362]

Can u do liquid liners in deep brown

[@samanthahunt7177]

What lipstick were you wearing in the beginning? It's gorgeous!

[@Everydaystarlet]

It's my MAC lip liner in Soar, and the Kylie Cosmetics Velvet in Charm...one of my favorite combos❤❤❤

[@cholalaflor]

Thank you so much for putting tike stamps!

[@Everydaystarlet]

You're welcome! It was requested in several videos like this...and I want to make content that people feel is helpful❤

[@woodsofthewoods]

Before putting the eyeliner, what creme did you have in your lids? its beautiful.

[@Everydaystarlet]

I don’t remember specifically but it was probably a discontinued Maybelline shade that I wore all the time, Bad to the Bronze

[@MelissaQ]

Hey girl hey! I love this!

[@Everydaystarlet]

Thanks so much!

[@janetbadolato1845]

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. \

[@Everydaystarlet]

Thank you so much! This video was a while ago, but I'm guessing it's either Kylie Cosmetics Koko K or Charm ❤

[@sugar-e]

Thank you, it helped a lot!

[@Everydaystarlet]

So glad❤

[@staciemarkham3656]

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

[@Everydaystarlet]

YES!!❤

[@peachy1798]

Maybelline gel liner is best too im using it for years

[@sofiasoto7366]

I enjoyed the video... Like I need to get one gel liner, will you go with the stila ?

[@Everydaystarlet]

Thank you! That one would be my pick

[@carisiaxocano179]

[@yangyanggeng1739]

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!

[@Everydaystarlet]

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😀

[@yangyanggeng1739]

Everyday Starlet Thank you!

[@taybz7789]

I want to know about your blush color I love that pink plssss reply

[@Everydaystarlet]

I don’t typically wear much blush, but it’s likely from Hourglass

[@vivianma1209]

could you plz do a eyebrow gel/pencil about anastasia/shu emuera/etc review? enjoy your videos a lot!

[@Everydaystarlet]

Thanks so much! I have a few brow videos already, but I'll definitely be testing more ❤

[@kls1653]

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.

[@Everydaystarlet]

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😀

[@cellyboo0527]

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.

[@Everydaystarlet]

Great suggestion, I'll check that one out!

[@LalaLala-jz4td]

Anyone please tell which one doesn't dries out fast

[@lindseyswartz8130]

she's really thorough and I watched the entire video, going to stick with my bobbi brown Caviar Ink for my perfect flick!

[@Everydaystarlet]

Thanks so much for watching!!!❤

[@gabriellemanier2223]

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.

[@Everydaystarlet]

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

[@gabriellemanier2223]

@@Everydaystarlet okay awesome thanks soo much!!!

[@asgothas]

Loved this review. Have you tried the inglot gel liner in 77 (black) ?

[@Everydaystarlet]

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. :)

[@breannaquesada8705]

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?

[@Everydaystarlet]

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❤❤❤

[@AAA-hz7fh]

Tony moly gel eyeliner is really really good too!!!

[@unicornwizhez4115]

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

[@Everydaystarlet]

Love that idea!

[@carriepotts903]

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.

[@Everydaystarlet]

You'd think they could get the packaging right!

[@missyuls1711]

Hands down Bobby brown eyeliner brush is the best,,,I’ve been using it for years!!!

[@user-pg8yr2it4q]

Which one you recommend? That will not gives you the line on the top?

[@Everydaystarlet]

The Stila is my favorite, but I find with all of them I need a shadow primer to prevent transfer

[@jayhulrs1435]

What is your favorite brush for gel liner?

[@Everydaystarlet]

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!

[@rabiam2848]

Great video for me no eyeliner can compare to inglot 77 gel liner

[@awomanwalksintoabar954]

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 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.
