こんばんは うさちゃん！
Today I have short little review for you guys featuring a makeup product I've always wanted to try...which is the
TonyMoly Backstage Gel Eyeliner! You can purchase the eyeliner at
Cosmetic.Jolse, which is an awesome Korean online beauty shop with free shipping and freebies~ But without further ado, let's just get onto the review!
{So hard to take a pic of a tall product with ugly backgrounds Dx}
TonyMoly Backstage Gel Eyeliners are pretty popular! When I first saw
them I wanted to try it, but I wasn't really into gel eyeliners at that
time. Plus, I already had my L'Oreal Infallible Lacquer Gel Eyeliner, so
I felt like I didn't need another one. So when I got the opportunity to
try it out, I took it!
Currently on Cosmetic.Jolse, there are 5 different colors, but I know you can try to find other discontinued colors elsewhere on the internet. But they also offer an extra 4 limited edition Winter colors {Choco Brown, Burgandy, Latte Brown, Plum Brown} so you should check that out!!
Packaging
4 / 5
The packaging to this gel eyeliner is pretty peculiar~
The lid is a quite long because it holds the eyeliner's brush. I feel like that is a plus and minus at the same time. Plus because I won't have to use a separate brush to apply this liner, and minus because it's quite inconvenient to carry around with me for touch ups and such.
The brush it comes with can be used flat or pointy. I really like the brush! The bristles are sturdy enough to make a clean cut application. It applies evenly and my favorite is using the pointy side to line close to my lower lashline. I use the flat edge for my upper lid because my monolids need a thicker application~
Twisting off the lid, the gel is held in a circular container. The gel doesn't fill the entire container, but it contains a pretty decent amount of product.
Color
5 / 5
#1 Black is a true dark and pigmented black.
Not much to say. I feel like I should've gotten a brown gel eyeliner because I already own a black gel, but another one wouldn't hurt~ ^_^
Formula
5 / 5
Love it love it love it!! Especially with the brush it provides, the formula is really smooth and doesn't pull on the lids. The black is pigmented like I said, and it's really just a good everyday black gel eyeliner!
It dries pretty quickly, so if you want to smudge this baby, you have to work fast. But it. lasts. a. long. time. No joke. I can apply it at 8am in the morning and it'll still be on my lids at 12am the next morning. It's of course not as pigmented as when I first put it on, but it would still look like I had eyeliner on :) Really...once it's dry, it pretty much won't smudge and the gel eyeliner is waterproof~
{First Application - Pointy side left, flat side right}
{Smudged after it dried}
{Water test, ran warm water under it}
{Smudged after water test}
Pretty good results right? The black still looks pigmented after the smudging and the water! It smudged a little...but trust me...it won't smudge when you let it dry on your lids. (Like those eyeliners out there that transfer over to your lower lash line at the end of the day #pandaeyes) xD
Overall
5 / 5
I've never really liked using gel eyeliners because they always take longer to put on than regular pencils or liquid liners, but trying out the TonyMoly Backstage Gel Eyeliner really made me start using it more! x3 Nowadays I just swipe this baby on my top lids, add a little on the bottom 1/3 of my lower lashline and apply mascara. My eyes look like I did a lot of work when in reality it took me at most 3 minutes~ The formula is perfs, the brush is perfs, the package itself is {almost} perfs, and I just love it. <3
Can't really see the liner...lawls~
But this is also a preview of my next post!
Be true and always be you,
