Sleek & Chic

Last night I went out for a friend's birthday and after discovering gel eyeliner earlier in the week (I REALLY am slow to the game) I decided to go for full on vampy eyes (is that what you call it when you just cake it on?!)

Excuse the Jersey Shore-esque extreme tanned look

I still have a long way to go before I can do any look extra ridiculous thick on my eyelids but I'm really pleased with just how much easier it is to use than a pencil.


I used Sleek's ink pot, which I managed to bag for free as part of Superdrug's current 3 for 2 offer on all cosmetics - score! 

I would never normally put eyeliner underneath my eyes...are they called the bottom lids?! However, I found the gel so much easier and neater to use and apart from a slight eye-bogey look at the beginning of the night with the gel culminating in the corner of my eye (nothing a cotton wool bud couldn't sort out) it lasted all night, to the point where it was a bit of a bugger to wash off!


I can 100% say I'm a gel eyeliner convert. A good brush is key when applying - I used a Sue Moxley brush which was quite firm and I think that's best in this case, especially if, like me, you don't have particularly steady hands.


I will report back when I can get the top line a lot thinner...that could be a while...
