So Benefit claims this product to be the easiest gel eyeliner ever... a revelation in how we ladies apply our eyeliner. Being a mom, with little time on my hands and not being best friends with any liquid liner half the time, I got sucked in and thought wow this must really be amazing!! -- Is it worth all this fuss?
I have got to say I was a tad disappointed with the product. Don't get me wrong I don't hate it .. but I'm not head over heels in love with it, and it certainly hasn't made me feel like if I buy something else than it's a complete betrayal!
You do have to get used to the tip as it is silicone and quite soft. So that's one thing you need to be able to use. But my biggest problem with this, is I find when using it I have to trust then rub the pen on my hand before applying it to my actual lid, which wastes product however to get the product evenly distributed on the tip I find I get a better application doing it this way. I've also noticed that when using it with too little product left on the tip it can begin to make your line appear patchy and faded. Although the pigment of the product it's self is amazing, I've never had such a pure matte eye liner before hence why I was slightly shocked when this began to happen.
With those few little niggles also comes my complaint of this annoying little ball of product that seems to gather when applying the eyeliner. It's as it your getting fall out from the product?? Even though it's a gel liner!?
Over all.. I could probably find an eyeliner I love more than this one. However I have got to say I do use it now as my go to liner. But I doesn't go without saying that I hate having to waste the product on my hand before actually applying to the lid!
