I'm very stingy when it comes to handing out 5 lippies, but this product warrants it. It's very creamy and easy to smooth on to the eye. It doesn't dry as quickly as some other, like the L'Oreal Hip liners, so there's time to manipulate it. It's very opaque and stands up to my very watery allergy eyes. It looks as good at 10pm as it does when you apply it. But what puts it over the top for me is that it doesn't dry out in the pot. I've had this now for almost 8 months and it's still as fresh and creamy as when I first opened it and I use it almost every day. I already have long lashes, so I can't tell if it really does anything as far as lash growth, but it doesn't make my lashes fall out like the L'Oreal Lash Serum did. Excellent product and worth the price.

this liner is amazing. it conditions your lashes though i'm uncertain about its lash growing claims. it does take longer to dry, but once it does, it stays put! the color isn't as true as you see it. use a very tiny amount and you get a subtle grey. use a bit more and you get a very defined black line that is very dark and will take twice as long to dry. overall i love this liner!

I bought this lashliner due to a youtube vid by tiffanyD. This liner is said to make your lashes grow longer and thicker. I don't use this everyday so I cant say i noticed any difference in my lashes. I like how it goes on very smoothly, almost like a liquid liner so you have to take your time. I like to apply it in short strokes going from the outside in and I use the angled liner brush by sonia kashuk. It goes on very black, you dont need to layer it up to make it darker. One stroke is enough. As for staying powder, it lasts longer than any other liner I've tried (loreal hip, revlon, maybelline etc) but since i have only kind of hooded eyelids it can transfer after maybe 6 or 7 hours. I seem to only have that problem in the summer though. For $15 you get 2 grams of product which is a very small amount but it should still last you a long time with daily use since you only need the smallest amount. In a way, it's better that its a small amount that way you can use it up before it dries out. Unlike my HIP cream liner. It's a huge amount but it dried up before i could finish it. I would definitely repurchase the bare essentuals lashliner

This liner is a tad bit expensive for only 2 grams worth of product, but I had to have it when I heard it would make my lashes fuller. I really like it. I apply it with my Bare Escentuals eyeliner brush. It gives me a really precise line. The formula is thick and creamy and very easy to work with. It gives me a perfect line every time. I've been using this liner for a little over two months now, and unfortunately, I have to say it hasn't given me THAT much of a difference, but there are new lashes on the inner corner and outer corner of my eyes. I would totally buy this product again! Make sure you close the lid really tight, the used half of my jar is beginning to dry out a bit.

Today I tried out this eyeliner and it smudged on me. I used it on my upper lash line only. After 10 hours, I got black circles on my lower eye area. I know it's not from mascara, b/c I forgot mascara today. The only gel eyeliners I used before is MAC fluidlines and they never smudge. So I will be returning this product. However, I do like the consistency of this product, it's very easy to apply.

My friend got this for me as a present and I absolutely love! It's probably a mix between a liquid liner and a pencil. (I only use pencil because I'm horrible at using liquid.) It's a little harder to use than pencil liner, but I found it to be okay. My eye makeup looks amazing and I get tons of compliments. Unlike pencil liner, it doesn't smear. I'm using this product everyday and never using pencil again!

I just bought this. Have used it for two days. I really like this! It's easy to apply (with a good brush - for example Sigma - E10 Small Eye Liner Brush that gives me a thin line, just the way I like it! The eyeliner stays on the whole day! And it's without Parabens (yey!).

This is my very favorite product I own. It makes my lash feel good. Sometimes they hurt at the root and after I apply this, they feel much better. They also seem to be longer and a little fuller. I have been using this product for about a month or two now and I love it. Looking forward to buying the Buxom mascara.

I have been using this eyeliner in leatherette and suede for two months now. This eyeliner is so creamy and glides on so smoothly, but once it dries it doesn't go anywhere! I have used other great gel liners in the past, but it's a no brainer for me to use this one since it is also a treatment for my lashes. My eyelashes seem much healthier and thicker since I started using this product! I will definately be repurchasing this eyeliner in the future.

I can't believe I didn't catch on to the gel-liner craze until now. This was a great gel-liner first buy, and although I don't have much to compare it to, it's easy to use and effortless when it comes to creating the perfect wing. It lasts me all day (granted, I haven't worn this on hot sweaty days yet) and is easy to remove. I have also noticed significant growth and strength in my lashes. I don't know if this is attributed to using Ardell's Lash/Brow Growth Accelerator at the same time but I'll take it. At first, I thought $20 or so was too much to spend on a tiny jar of liner, but a little truly goes a long way and it'll last you forever. Would definitely buy again.

Oh My Goodness! I cannot believe how good this stuff is. It's creamy and easy to apply. It's long wearing and after using it for two weeks, have only had eyelid transfer once! My MAC blacktrack transfered like crazy!

Most importantly, I have grown a second set of lashes. No joke, in the 14 days I've used this product, I have baby sprouts underneath my set of very fine, short, thin lashes. Amazing! Right now they're just short enough to annoy me, but they're there, nonetheless. My lash length has improved too. And for $15 it's totally worth it. The one con is that I tend to extend my wing pretty far and by the end of the day, the it's barely there. Everything else stays put! I will definitely be repurchasing after the pot is empty!

LOVE this stuff! I should probably include that its the first gel liner I've used, so I don't have much to compare it to. All I can say is that the switch from liquid to gel liner has been smooth and painless thanks to this! Glides on so easily and really stays put, I have to use makeup remover at night to get it off. The little pot doesn't look like it holds much though! But for the price, it's definitely something I'll be buying again!

Love, love, love this product! My absolute FAV gel eyeliner. I wear contacts and my eyes get really irritated with anything other than hypoallergenic products like Almay, Clinique, or Neutragena. Unfortunately, those products lack staying power. Since I already wear Bare Minerals, I decided to try this. I put it on after applying the Prime Time eyelid primer since I have oily eyelids, and this stuff can outlast my 12 hours days. The best part...it doesn't irritate my eyes! I will definitely buy again!

I really love this lashliner. I am going back to get it in the brown shade 'suede' too. I def. saw a difference in my lashes after a short time. They do seem to be getting a little longer and if not, they definitely are stronger. When I wash my mascara off my eyelashes don't fall off at all like they sometimes used to. Why bother using a regular lash liner if you can condition your lashes too with this one? The quality is great too I would compare to stila smudgepots. The black is so black though. For my skintone I have to really smoke it out so it doesnt look too dramatic. I think the brown might look more natural.

I have really bad allergies, and when they strike I get extremely itchy all around my eyes, and sometimes I can't help myself - I've rubbed my eyes so hard I've broken off some of my lashes! (Yes I know, "don't do that" but that's so much easier to say than to do when it strikes!) I wanted to try this to see if it would help my lashes against all the abuse they get from this itchy eye thing.

I've been using this liner three weeks now pretty much on a daily basis, and here are my thoughts:

Much softer, creamier consistency compared to L'Oreal HIP - only other kind I've tried. Glides on pretty darn smooth - even tho I have very wrinkly eyelids.

Stays on my upper lashes until I take it off about 90% of the time. If I get a bad rubbing attack and my eyes are watering, it WILL rub off at that point.

Stays on my lower eye (not waterline, at base of lower lashes) most of the day, but again, I have very watery eyes and I don't blame the product for not staying all day long.

Excellent pigmentation. I've read of people complaining about "fading" - I've yet to have that problem.

After 3 weeks, I can honestly say I'm noticing my eyelashes are not breaking off or falling out anymore. Are they thicker or longer? I can't honestly tell about that - but they are staying in and not breaking and this is the first product I've found to make that happen. I'm very pleased with the product and plan on purchasing it in the brown color next. I use the brush sold separately to apply and have exactly the results I want, a pretty fine line that I can make a bit thicker for more drama if I like. I do not wing out or do special effects with it, so I can't speak to how it wears or looks when used that way.

this is actually the first gel liner i've tried, but i was confident i'll be pleased with it after reading the good reviews here. and i am!

-texture/application: very smooth. i can see why some reviewers say if you go over it again it fades. this only happens when the liner on your eyes have not yet set and your brush is dry. if you want to go over the same line again, just get a bit more product on the brush first.

-colour: i find the 'blackness' of the black just right for me. its probably not the blackest black i've seen, so if that's what you're looking for, maybe this isn't for you.

-Staying power: great. i have oily lids and often have trouble finding liners that'll stay on me w/o smudging for 14 hrs but this lasts all day w/ very little smudging with UDPP. (there's some smudging under my eyes only if i apply it on the bottom lashes. no smudging if i only apply to top)

on my waterline, it stays for about 6 hrs until it starts to budge, which is the best i've had so far. it wasn't irritating, but it also wasn't 100% comfortable.. so i won't be wearing it on my waterline too often.

-lengthening/volumizing lashses: I've been using it for only a week (for around 14 hrs/day) and I'm already starting to see a difference!!!!! my lashes are visibly longer and i'm possibly already growing new hairs (especially the bottom ones, since they're shorter and more sparse to begin with, its easier to tell when there's a difference!). i can't wait to try this for a few more weeks to see how much effect it'll have!!

Finally found my HG gel liner! I've tried sooo many eyeliners, trying to find something that would actually show up, and stick around. It seems like a lot of them do one or the other, but not both. I've tried the MUFE Aqua Eyes, the UD 24/7, the L'Oreal HIP liners, ect, and nothing I've tried works better than this on my eyes. I have never found anything that I could wear on my (fairly watery) waterline, but this lasts all day! In fact, if I had to say anything negative about it, it's that it lasts almost too long, but I'm certainly not complaining about that! It's creamy, easy to spread, and creates a nice smooth line. I don't have oily lids, just watery eyes sometimes, so I don't know how it would do in that situation.

I didn't buy the brush they sell with it, but it works great with my Ecotools angled liner brush. You barely need to touch the brush to the gel to be able to line both eyes, so I think this is going to last me forever. I think it's incredibly well priced, considering that the HIP liners and some of the drugstore gel liners are in the $10-$13 range, and this is soooo much better!

I was intrigued by this product because it claims to condition and thicken lashes. After using this product for about a month now I definitely can see that my lashes are well conditioned and have gotten thicker. I wish this product could lengthen as well, but overall it is a great smooth highly pigmented gel liner. It has amazing staying power, stays on all day. I will definitely be repurchasing.

A great gel liner, smooth, great pigmentation, and easy to apply. I don't have the liner brush that complements the liner. I use an angled liner brush and that seems to work quite well for me.

I'm impressed with how creamy and smooth the liner is and I don't find it to fade like others do when I go over the line with more product. It stays put all day with no smudging for me either.

I have been using it for about 3 weeks now. Although I don't see any difference in length or thickness of my lashes, I will say that my lashes don't fall out as easily as they did before when I removed my eye make up at night.

I purchased this after watching a popular YouTube guru talking about it which I usually don't do. I got it in Leatherette and I really like it! It's softer and creamier than the MAC Blacktrack Fluidline I was using (closer to the consistency of the Stila Smudgepots), it's easier for me to apply and goes on darker and with more even pigmentation. The staying power is about even with the Fluidlines. I haven't noticed any growth benefits as of yet but I'm optimistic and will update on that aspect later.
