Wing it

Where would I be without my beloved eyeliner? I love wearing a neat line of black (gel, felt or liquid) eyeliner on my eyelid, I sometimes wing the edge out or just smudge it out with a pencil. The winged bit is hard, I had mastered the technique of even flicked eyeliner a few years ago and now it's gone so I'm back to square one. 

So here I've used to the fairly new Loreal Super Liner Gel Intenza Eyeliner, I bought this from Superdrug for £7.99. 

I previously had the Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner  but accidentally left it without the lid on for ages and now it's rock hard. Anyway there's slight differences in terms of packing and texture, the Loreal Gel Intenza has a gold lid and a black and gold brush. I definitely prefer to this to the Maybelline packaging. The texture is lovely and smooth, just glides on the eyelid! I've used this a few times in the past week and it's growing on me. The brush however, is pants. 

I'm sure there is an easier technique to this, but right now here's what I do. I use the Collection 2000 Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner, I just use this to line the flick as it's more precise and sharp than the not so great brush you get in the Loreal Gel Intenza Eyeliner kit (note to self, buy decent brushes). I then go over the felt tip eyeliner with the gel eyeliner just to make sure it's dark and there's no patchy bits. I do think with the right brush I can just go with the gel eyeliner and skip the Felt Tip eyeliner stage altogether. 

Have you tried the classic Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner, or any other gel eyeliner? What do you think?
