Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner Reviews

Product Doesn't Last Well
This liner from Bobbi Brown was the first gel eyeliner I ever tried and I was blown away by how the product enabled me to get the perfect black eyeliner, whether it be thin and subtle, thick and dramatic, or cat-eyed and classic. The product applies well, especially with a thin pointy liner brush. Once it is on and set, it really does last all day. The black is a true black and doesn't appear shiny like many traditional liquid eyeliners can. The bummer about this product (and the MAC counterpart, Fluidline) is that it does not age well in its packaging. No matter how tightly I screwed the cap, the eyeliner gel would dry out after just a few months. Even if I were to wear gel liner everyday (which I basically was when I first discovered how precise and awesome it was) I would not be able to get through the jar before it dried out to the point of being unusable. At $23 a jar, I want to know that I am getting my money's worth and that is impossible with a product that does not last. Although MAC's fluidline dries out as well, it is at least $7 cheaper and eligible for the "Back to MAC" program. I love Bobbi Brown for being the pioneer of gel eyeliners, but the packaging should be improved upon so that the product does not dry out so quickly. Getting less product for less money would even be a better solution because less would be wasted at the end of its lifespan. After several years of throwing away dried out pots of unused gel liner, I have discovered the Clinique Cream Liner which does not dry out like the others. With that and the many other gel liners that are now on the market for less money, I will not purchase this from Bobbi Brown again, unless the packaging is changed. — 2 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Great Liner
This is a great liner that comes in a jar. I love that this is so long lasting. Once you glide this liner onto your eye, it stays in place and adds great color and a little shine to your eyes. — 4 years, 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful

I love that cool feeling!
I like the application which is perfected with a small amount of practice and a good brush. Colors are nice and varied. Great lasting power. — 4 years, 11 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 5 people said helpful

Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner
I love gel eyeliners, but finding one that dried quick enough to not smear when I blinked or dry faster than I could apply it was quite a challange. I love Bobbi Brown's eye shadows, and after asking a few people about their favorites, and reading very favorable reviews, I bought this in Espresso. I found my Holy Grail eye liner! It applies smoothly, no weird goops, it dies fast enough not to smear, yet stays workable long enough for me to get the effect I want. I use a really fine taklon brush with semi firm bristles, and I get the nicest effect. I also am really pleased with the wearability of this product. It doesn't budge, it doesn't flake, and it doesn't melt off even after hours of wear. I like the fact that I can create a fine line or a more dramatic line depending on my mood, it is a very forgiving product and even if I do make a mistake, it is so workable, I can fix the mistake without having to totally redo my eye makeup. I am so glad I found this product, it is truly one of my favorites. When a product is this good, I don't mind paying the price I do for it. it is richly pigmented, you don't have to use a lot of product, and this little jar of wonderment has lasted me well over a year with almost daily use, and I bet the remainder will easily last another year. After all the money spent on other eye liners, this particular one is far more economical for me. Ther will always be a space in my train case for this little jar. — 3 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful

Too Expensive
This product is to flaky. It stays on good but flakes. Off Way too expensive and have to be very steady to use. Plus you have to buy a special BB brush too — 4 years, 12 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 18 of 24 people said helpful

Long Wearing as its name says
I have this in Black Mauve. In the pot it looks like a shimmery plum black but when applied there is no shimmer and just looks like a less intense black color. If black is too much for you then this is a great alternative, especially on light skins. This dries very fast and is smudgeproof and lasts all day until you wash off. — 4 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful

The Best
This is the vest eye liner I have used. Goes on nicely and stays as a gel does. The only problem as it dries out to quickly. — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

The Best!
This is by far the best eyeliner I have ever used. It goes on smoothly and it's super dark so that I don't have to apply a million coats. Also, I can now only buy one eyeliner which can be used in the waterline and on the eye lid. — 3 years, 11 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 5 people said helpful

Lasts all day!
I love this eyeliner. It is the best on the market as far as I am concerned. I can use this and it doesn't irritate my eyes like some liquid eyeliners do, it goes on easily and lasts all day. I can even go from a thin line to a more dramatic thick line if I want. I stopped using pencil liners when I found BB gel eyeliners. The pot looks small but it takes so little I have not had to repurchase a color yet and the oldest one I have is at least two years old. If you have never used a brush for lining your eyes you may want to practice on the back of your hand a couple of times but it becomes second nature after a while. — 4 years, 11 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful
