It\u2019s a little overwhelming, right? If you\u2019re anything like me, you\u2019ve been using liquid or pencil eyeliner for a good dozen years or more. So, how do you know if these new types of eyeliner are worth the investment to try them out? Well, here\u2019s a little information about gel and cream liner to give you a better idea whether they would work for you. Hint: They\u2019re pretty awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, many are writing about cream (sometimes listed as \u201ccr\u00e8me\u201d) and gel eyeliner interchangeably. But they are very different products. Cream eyeliner<\/strong> is just what it sounds like, a creamy substance often sold in a little pot or in pencil form. If you purchase it in a pot, you\u2019ll need an angled brush to apply it (hint: Some already come with a brush). Cream eyeliner<\/strong> is a great choice for those of you who are tired of having your eyeliner wear off throughout the day. It goes on smoothly and gives a soft appearance. This would not be my first choice for a smoky-eye look, however, as this type of liner tends to be softer and more natural-looking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like cream eyeliner, gel liner<\/strong> is sold in a pot and needs an angled brush to apply. This is similar to liquid eyeliner, except it dries faster and lasts throughout the entire day. Full of rich color, gel eyeliner is definitely for a more-dramatic look, like a smoky eye or cat eye. Essentially, it doesn\u2019t look as natural as cream eyeliner, but you wouldn\u2019t want it to since these are for makeup looks with a bit more flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verdict<\/strong>: If you are a beginner, try gel before trying cream, as it\u2019s easier to apply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
