#  7 Easy-To-Use Gel Liners That Won’t Budge  


Liquid eyeliner is one of the trickiest things to get right but gel liner is a good place to start. Blendable until set, and far easier to use than a liquid pen, it won’t move until you’re ready to remove it. Here are seven we rate.

## BEST WATERPOOF FORMULA 



 

[Waterproof Long-Lasting Eyeliner, £26 | Chanel ](https://john-lewis-and-partners.pxf.io/k00q13)

Whether used to create a wing or contour the waterline, this retractable liner is designed with ease of use in mind. Its waterproof formula – which resists tears, sweat and humidity – combined with its long-lasting wear and comfortable feel makes it a winner in our books.

## BEST FOR PRECISE APPLICATION 



 

[Mechanical Gel Eyeliner, £19 | Hourglass](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=36362&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.spacenk.com%2Fuk%2Fmakeup%2Feyes%2Feyeliner%2Fmechanical-gel-eye-liner-MUK300025853.html)

With a 1.5mm tip, this is the liner to use if you want sleek kitten flicks and tight lines. It’s creamy upon application, so it doesn’t drag on the skin and guarantees a clean line every time. While it dries down fast and stays put, you can easily wipe or blend away any mistakes without making a mess.

## BEST TO NAIL THE ‘FOX EYE’ TREND 



 

[Clean Line Gel Liner, £26 | Ilia](https://www.naturisimo.com/products/ilia-clean-line-gel-liner)

Made popular by the likes of Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner, the ‘fox eye’ trend uses a brown eyeliner to elongate the look of the lash line for a romantic, sultry but natural-looking eye – and this liner is the perfect way to get the look. While it also comes in other shades including a deep black, we love this cool brown if you’re after a bit of subtle definition. Plus, like all of Ilia’s products, it has a clean formula – ideal if you’re on the sensitive side.

## BEST INSIDER FAVOURITE 



 

[Amc EyeLiner, £14 | Inglot ](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2041&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boots.com%2Finglot-amc-eyeliner-gel-10293933)

A pot that comes with brush style gel liner is a classic. Great for creating sharp wings and bold definition, Inglot’s pots have long been an insider favourite for a reason – not least their intense pigment, long-term wear and easy-to-glide-on texture. Smudge-proof and crease-proof, this is our liner of choice for a night out.

## BEST SUBTLE OPTION 



 

[Green me Kajal Deep Black Eyeliner, £6.99 | Kiko Milano](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=22773&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.co.uk%2Fp%2FKIKO-MILANO-Green-Me-Kajal-Deep-Black-114g%3Fq%3Dkiko%2520milano%2520green%2520me%2520kajal%2520deep%2520black%26q_typ%3Da%26q_cat%3Dproduct%26q_dep%3DMakeup%252CEyes)

Formulated as more of a pencil with a softer, subtler pigment, this lightly intensifies the lash line and beautifully accentuates the waterline. Part of Kiko’s new ‘Green Me’ collection – specifically vegan formulas containing up to 99% natural origin ingredients – we recommend experimenting with this on your brows or even as lip liner.

## BEST FOR TIGHTLINING 



 

[Longwear Eyeliner, £22 | Nars](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=47704&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.narscosmetics.co.uk%2Fen%2Fvia-veneto-high-pigment-longwear-eyeliner%2F0607845081906.html)

Tightlining is best done with a high-pigment, rich colour – not to mention one that doesn't smudge. This is exactly that, with a thin tip perfect for getting right under the top or bottom lash line to add depth and a dramatic dose of colour. Whether you’re opting for classic black or want to experiment with a something fun, this formula has a short blending period, so make sure you work fast to manipulate the shape and look of the liner before it sets and stays put.

## BEST FOR A SMOKEY EYE 



 

[Satin Kajal Eyeliner, £26 | Victoria Beckham Beauty](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=28661&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.victoriabeckhambeauty.com%2Fproducts%2Fsatin-kajal-liner%2F%3Fvariant%3Dcocoa)

If you want to achieve that signature ‘VB’ sultry, smokey eye, you need one of these kajal-style gel liners. Versatile and available in both matte and shimmering pigments, you can create sharp flicks or go all out using the dual-ended blending tool to diffuse the product for a bolder look. This can even double up as a shadow if you scribble a bit of product on the lids, then blend it out. The best part is it won’t budge all day.
