Hi everyone!

The most important thing in our life is that our eyeliner should be on-fleek. Haha. Everyone wants to make the perfect wing but not many succeed because of the formula of the eyeliner. Sometimes it’s really smudgy, crumbly, not waterproof, doesn’t glide on properly and what not! It surely does irritate the hell out of us. And don’t ask what happens when we are in a hurry and our eyeliner has more drama than our life. So, I am here with an eyeliner post for you all. I stumbled upon this little gem while I was strolling in a mall and found the Kiko Cosmetics store. They offer a variety of products that are not high-end price wise but have good packaging and quality.

My Experience with Kiko Lasting Gel Eyeliner:

Kiko Lasting Gel Eyeliner is my go-to eyeliner. The packaging is a basic glass jar with a screw cap that is sturdy and makes it easy to travel with. This is really easy to apply. You just grab a brush, open the pot and, ta-da, it’s done.

It’s only available in the color black. It glides on the lid really smoothly. But hey, you really make it fast because this thing dries super fast, and if you make a mistake, you cannot make it right with just your fingertips; you have to use a makeup removing wipe and really work it out.

The color and pigmentation of the eyeliner are really nice as it is really opaque and true black. It is matte and doesn’t give or look shiny whatsoever. You have to use just a tiny bit of product on your brush as it glides on a lot, so this would last you a long time.

My little trick of applying this eyeliner when you don’t want to spend on an eyeliner brush and have a dried felt tip eyeliner around you is that you use that eyeliner pen to apply this gel eyeliner. Trust me, it really works like a charm.

Sometimes I have noticed while applying the eyeliner – as it dries out fast – it can get a little bit crumbly if you apply a lot of product. So, be wise when applying it and make sure you don’t overdo it. It has a great staying power of 8-10 hours and can last you a whole working day easily. It does get a little crumbly at the end of the day, though.

It is waterproof, so if you just wash your face with water or even with a mild soap, this won’t come off. It doesn’t transfer at all and stays put. But the main task is when you have to remove it. The best way is to use a waterproof makeup remover, like oil-infused micellar water. That does the job really nicely.
