When Pencil Met Gel All-Day Eyeliner, Pastel Violet Shimmer

These are hands-down the best eyeliners I have used in quite some time. I have tried super cheap, drugstore pencils, expensive name brands that cost $30-$40 for a pencil, and these are amazing. They are easy to sharpen, which I like, I like a very sharp point, and they go on easily, but they are not so soft that they don't apply precisely. They are the perfect mix of soft/hard. Very easy to glide on my eyelids, and you have around 5-8 seconds to smudge it or clean up smears, or I use my finger nail to swipe up the liner at the end of my lashes. After that time, the eyeliner stays put, it will not budge. It is amazing, it doesn't smear off, it doesn't bleed out under my eyes or on my eyelids (I have always gotten eyeliner on my eyelids by end of day. I must have oily eyelids, not gross, but very moisturized or something). This comes off easily with Micellar water and I wash with face wash. I purchased the dark brown (which is very dark brown, nearly black), the glittery brown (so pretty and not as harsh as the dark brown, the clay (pretty light, but still pretty) and the dark green (haven't worn yet but it's pretty). These are such a great deal and I expect them to last 6-8 months, depending on how much you use them. I know some people don't like to sharpen their eyeliners, but I do. It's the only way to get a precise point and create thin lines, in my opinion. Get a good sharpener. :)

I have been looking for a good gel eyeliner formula to love for a while. And especially one that is not a luxury brand because that is not in my current budget. One of my favorite influencers used to use a dark brown shade from Julep in almost every video a few years ago so this been on my buy list for a while and when I saw it on sale, I had to buy it. Though it isn't a dupe, it reminds me of Rockstar from Urban Decay, one of my old favorites and one of their old best sellers. They both have the same similar shimmery feel and both can be used lightly for a more subtle effect or heavily blended out with eyeshadow for drama. In the pic, I blended out most of it. I hope you can see the gold flecks against the taupey brown shade. The creamy formula applies opaque and is so impressive, and I definitely plan on buying more shades the next time I see them on sale. There are so many shades, I think I will start with brown and black and go from there. This formula glides on so easily and once it dries, it doesn't move. I honestly think the price is great on its own but there are sales often, and it brings the price down to drugstore prices. If you need a gel eyeliner, you have to try this one. It is just as good as any luxury brand. And I am so annoyed with myself for waiting so long.

Nice glides on nicely.

I was very pleased with this product. Application was very easy, lasted all day, removed easily. Great value for money. I selected drk. brown.

Goes on really smoothly but does not wear well. Would not term it "longwear." After a few hours, it's completely smeared. Julep products are expensive.

I was looking for something that waterproof but great way make the eye to appear more refreshed. Being an older person, my eyes look more tired and I always used black eyeliner and mascara. I love how easy this is to apply to the eye. am in love with the color being I have always used black, I think black on a olde person doesnt do great for the eyes. This color was a better choice. With already dark brown eye it was a great choice and the size of the product was small. I think it was a prtetty good size and the price was affordable. What I also loved about this product it can last all day wear . This is a set up for myself in trying to find a product that lasts and a still help the older eyes from looking more refreshed then making them look older and tired. I recommend trying the bronze color..My favorite.

The pencil was creamy and did not pull skin on application the color was rich in pigment overall a good buy I do recommend this purchase

If you are a sunscreen user,this one will also run . It's ok. Doesn't last very long.

Je ne l’ai pas encore utilisé mais sa couleur est bien celle que je souhaitais.

Excelente lápiz para ojos. Mi favorito. Cremoso, fácil al aplicar y dura todo el día perfectamente. Resalta muy bonito los ojos verdes.

Very soft to apply and a flattering deep violet colour which brings out my mid-brown eye colour.

The shade terracotta matte is beautiful. It’s such an easy, natural looking eyeliner if you want a bit of definition, but nothing too harsh, as I have very pale skin, and even brown can look too intense for me sometimes. It’s a really great eyeliner for a day look. So easy to pop on, it’s really creamy, and doesn’t go on dry and skippy at all, so I’d say it’s just as good as any of the more expensive brands. You can blend it too before it sets. It stays put brilliantly, it lasts all day! And I have very oily eyelids. I also find it really easy to remove, just by washing my face. I have powered through the pencil quite quickly due to sharpening it, I would love this eyeliner in a retractable format. I haven’t found I’ve experienced any eye irritation at all with these. Brilliant eyeliner! So easy to use for a quick, no fuss, eye makeup look, so it’s very functional for someone like me that doesn’t want to fuss over makeup application for hours.

Finally I found the perfect sharpener for my eyeliner. It doesn’t ruin my kohl eyeliners.
