12 Best Gel Eyeliners Available In India that You Should Definitely Give A Try
We all allocate a generous amount of our make-up time particularly for eyes, as we know that what we do to our eyes can have a startling effect on the entire face. Kohl-lined eyes, shimmery eyes with glittery, golden hued eyes, and sometimes copper smokey eyes – we love to flaunt varied styles for different occasions. There’s so much we could do to make our eyes look attractive. The common eye make-up product almost all of us use is Eyeliner. An eyeliner is something which every girl loves in her makeup kitty! It not only opens up the eyes, but also enhances their beauty. From liquid to pencil to gel eyeliners, you get a lot of options to pick from as per your liking to draw your everyday winged eyeliner, cat eyeliner or for simply just lining the eyes. And then there are colored & glitter liners too, that just brighten up your day. I prefer gel eyeliners to liquid ones. First, they smudge less than kohl and liquid eyeliners and secondly, I get a better control with a slant brush in hand, making thick or thin lines as I want. And yes, it lasts all day long! This is your handy guide to the best gel eyeliners out there – we’ve listed the ones that fit every kind of budget!
