Maybelline

Gel liner is my favorite formula to use because it can create both smoky eyes and a sharper, more defined look. Formulas from high-end brands are great, but they're generally packaged on their own without a brush, which can cost you $25 in addition to the $20 you just spent on the eyeliner itself. I don't know why they do that, but they should stop. Anyway, this Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner comes with the perfect easy-to-use little brush. It's not opaque at first but is easily built up for intensity. I've also fallen asleep with it on (which I never do!) and it did not smear. It looked exactly as it had before I went to bed.
