The BEST Gel Eyeliner

Application: Very creamy, doesn't drag at all. With a nice thin brush (I use Royal MiniMagestic 4200R) it will go on so easily. Dries almost instantly. Coverage: Totally opaque. The blackest gel liner I've ever tried. Finish: Matte Wear: Tightline and waterline minimum - 10hrs. Eyeliner without primer - 5hrs. Eyeliner with primer - 12hrs Overall: 9/10 - Without a primer this does seem to seep into the inner and outer corners of my eyes but I recommend it highly with a primer. For tightlining and waterlining I 100% will always use this, it doesn't need to be set with a powder but you can for super intensity. I would say that this is for those who are already confident with liner as it won't budge if you try to correct mistakes.

Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24H

Good but not the best

For reference, I have combination skin and am MAC NC40

Application: Its a nice consistency liquid, not too runny not too thick. It has a smell, perfumey. Not so strong that when you wear it you can smell but but its nice that it doesn't have a bad smell like some foundations that can be chemically. Goes on nicely, esp with a primer. Really smooth. I used a stipling brush and it wasn't streaky like other liquids can be with that brush. My other foundation brushes used up too much product, so I'd stick with a stipling brush or fingers. Maybe a damp sponge also.

Coverage: I wouldn't say full. Maybe I expect too much from something that says 'full coverage'. I would say its medium buildable.

Finish: Not a matte finish. Almost but not matte enough. Nice and velvety. I set with powder and it went a little cakey. But if you wait a few mins before u put powder its fine.

Wear: Feels nice and light. I wouldn't say its 24hr wear coz I'm a bit shiny by lunch and I'm not mega oily. If your skin is a bit drier than it is oily I imagine it'll stay long without touch ups at all.

Overall: 4/5 for lightness as well as good coverage and longevity but not as promised. I must add 2 people have said my make up specifically looks nice when I've worn it and I haven't been doing anything different but using this foundation.

Note: I had the wrong colour for my skin though I was matched at a counter. I was given two samples to mix but they were both had pink undertones. The shade number rubbed off the bottle so I may have been matched with a cool colour but a Lancome staff member should be able to match at least one of the many shades.
