I love bold eyeliner and sometimes on a busy morning all you
need to do is wing your liner, slather on some gloss and you are good to go. Today I
have a review on the Line-Fix gel eyeliner by Cailyn Cosmetics. This brand also
sells a great variety of makeup for the face and lips.
I usually use liquid eyeliner because I hadn't found a gel liner that I loved until now! This gel is very easy to work with even if you
are no expert with drawing a straight line across your lashes. The formula is
very creamy and doesn't dry out immediately after application which gives
you time to perfect and alter your line. It glides on velvety smooth and you
don’t need much to create an intense, bold look.
I love the packaging because it conveniently comes with a built in brush
that is hidden in the handle of the cover. For travel you don’t have to worry about
packing a separate brush or forgetting to bring one with you. The box also has simple instructions for creating the perfect line.

“Once dry, the gel is smudge proof and water proof for 24
hours.” The fact that it doesn't smudge makes it wonderful for smokey looks and lining the bottom lashes which is something I avoid with most liquid liners. It is also highly concentrated and safe for sensitive eyes. Although ultra pigmented the liner does not have the same finish or inked effect as a liquid liner, I find it similar to a pencil finish with more color payoff. Compared to some of the liquid products I have used this gel creates a neater, straighter line which makes eye makeup look tidier.
I would recommend this product for those who are new to gel or liquid liner and need to
practice with something simple. Even though the formula is waterproof it
is easy to remove with makeup remover or a makeup wipe. I also like that the gel maintains it's consistency and doesn't dry out in the jar.
Color: Black
The brush has a sturdy pointed tip and works well for creating
both thin and thick lines. It is recommended that you clean the brush after
each use and I also like to smooth the bristles back into the original shape to
maintain the point. This has become my go-to eyeliner when I don't have the time or patience to work with liquid products but still want a sharp line.
The liner is available in 13 other shades and retails for
$21 each. You can find more information on the website by clicking HERE. I definitely think this liner is worth the price.

OMG! I love this liner too! I'm so glad that someone else does too! No one ever knows what I'm talking about when I rave about this liner.
ReplyDeleteWell now you have company because this liner is the best! :)
ReplyDeleteOK...The built-in brush is way cool! So would you say it's worth $22? I just checked out their site, and it seems pretty reasonable for pricing. I'm going to have to get this and try it out. I'm sure my daughter will love it. Thanks for the awesome review!
ReplyDeleteYes it is worth the price! I have tried a lot of gels and this one is fantastic! A little goes a long way too which is another reason it is worth the price.
DeleteLove the packaging on this one! The pigmentation is spot on too, sounds perfect :)

Interesting. I'm always craving to try liquid gel liners after reading posts like this, but I'm always too afraid that my technique will make me look like a racoon.

Don't be afraid, this is so easy to use! Practice a bit and you will get the hang of it!
Deletenever heard of this brand, but i love gel eyeliner! been using it for several years. i definitely like ones that do not dry fast, because i make a lot of mistakes, lol!
ReplyDeleteThis liner sounds a lot like my MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack! Super easy to use, glides on like a dream as well. I love that this one comes with a brush though, super handy!
ReplyDeleteIt is, you should check it out!
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about this liner and you've confirmed them! I love the built in brush. Great review!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ash :)
DeleteI think I've seen products from this brand before, but I can't remember where :)) Anyways, I love gel liners, I don't like to use anything else, this one looks pretty awesome and I love that they have such such a wide variety of colors to choose from :D
ReplyDeleteIts one of the best I have tried, I've been using it every day since I got it.
DeleteI think I have this in a gray shade, maybe Charcoal. I got it in an Ipsy bag way back and haven't properly tried it out yet. I really want to now!
ReplyDeleteOMG you need to find it and try it out, you will love it :)
DeleteWe have a brand in India which makes something like this eye liner..Loved ur review,, xo

Thanks Natasha :)
DeleteI got one of these in an Ipsy Glam Bag and use it all the time. It really doesn't smudge!!! Personally, I was impressed with it.
ReplyDeleteI wish I got more products from this line in subscription boxes!
DeleteI've only lined my eyes nicely one time! My eyes tend to puff up when I try to wear eyeliner so I try to stay away from it. Maybe I just haven't found the right eyeliner. Maybe I should give a gel liner a try. I seems to go on a bit more flawlessly than what I use.
