The first thing I look for in a gel eyeliner is ease of use. While this eyeliner may not be very application-friendly, it certainly delivers in terms of being truly a waterproof/smudge-proof product.
Artist Ink Gel Eyeliner
An ultra smooth gel eyeliner with a deep, inky intensity that sets quickly to a waterproof finish for 24 hour wear.
Each shade comes with a FREE double-ended brush featuring a fine liner brush on one side and a soft liner brush on the other, to unleash the artist in you. Create a smoky effect or a sharp line for on-trend eyeliner looks.
How to Apply:
Apply by dipping the desired side of the brush into the gel, making sure the brush is coated evenly. Apply in short quick strokes starting from the inner corner of the eye. Wipe the brush clean before storing.

I am not entirely content with the product because for me, gel-based eyeliners are supposed to glide on effortlessly in a single stroke without having to tug or pull. This one however doesn’t quite hit the mark. The formula is hard to work with and lacks that creaminess of a gel eyeliner. In addition to that, I don't find it very pigmented on the first swipe. It requires multiple strokes for maximum intensity and while I do that, I see that the second coat rubs off the first which really puts me off. You won’t get a jet-black with this but it surely looks deep enough after application.
When I first applied it, I noticed that it set very quickly as it claims to and once it set, it didn't budge an inch. I am amazed at how long-lasting and truly water-proof it is. However, you can achieve that smouldry eyeliner look if you wish to smudge it but you'd have to be quick at that. Good thing is, it comes with a dual-ended brush applicator to help you achieve both a crisp and smudgy line. Besides, it stays put on my waterline which is terrific.
Though I am satisfied with the quantity, I am not sure if it would last you a long time because the composition is already on the dry side which is why I don't think it's good value for money. Overall, it’s not the best gel eyeliner out there but it's not the worst one either. That being said, the formulation definitely needs some improvement.
