    Default Best black liquid eyeliner ever!

    Hey ladies,

    I just wanted to share my favourite black liquid liner: GOSH long lasting eyeliner pen. I wear a relatively thick line of black eyeliner, and I swear by it. It's super-black, stays beautifully, doesn't smudge... HG product. The only downside IMO is once it gets to 3 months old, it gets clumpy/less opaque and needs to be replaced... which you should be doing anyways. Apparently, the other colours aren't as good... but 008 carbon black is amazing.

    I'm writing because I ran out yesterday (once it starts to clump, it's done immediately, there's no saving that) and rushed over to my best friend's place to use hers. Then I bought 2 back-ups so it never happens again. I don't know what I'll do if they discontinue it and I've converted a bunch of my friends.

    Just wanted to share



    For comparison, here's what I think about other liners:
    LORAC proline is my next favourite, but my Sephora (all Sephoras?) stopped carrying it. Relatively black, bristle brush, but smudges a bit and isn't as dark as GOSH.

    Maybelline liquid liners (all three varieties: the standard one, master precise, and line stiletto) grey out really easily (20m after application) and aren't as dark/opaque.

    Revlon ColorStay liner is also grey and not opaque enough. I bought it because someone on here recommended it - she said she found one in her purse and it was just as dark as when she bought it - but that hasn't been my experience at all. IMO it's cheap make-up and it's obvious a few minutes after application (like Maybelline).

    Make Up For Ever liquid liner (original formula) was my first "good" liner, I used it before I found Kat Von D's tattoo liner and then the LORAC proline. Both are "okay", but again, they're not as black as I want. I don't like the bristle tips because I do a pretty thick line, and I don't want to be sitting there painting over and over - I want one bold, precise, super-black, never smudged cat eye.

    Oh, I should add that I've tried MAC gel liners in store, but I'm not really a fan because my lids get kinda oily, even with primers, so gels tend to smudge on me.

    ^ I'm looking for a new one. I use to use smashbox liquid one that came in a pot looking thing. They changed it and don't have my color anymore( oil slick). I looked for one in ulta and Sephora yesterday but left unimpressed with the ones I looked at. I'm fair so I don't like a super black( that's why I liked oil slick as it was more dark grey/black and had a slight sparkle in it.

    Gosh makeup usually gets great reviews- I'll keep an eye out for this, I love really black liners.

    How does this compare to MAC's LiquidLast Liner in Point Black? The liquid, not the gel.

    Personally, I like those fine line 'marker' type eyeliner pens, but thanks!

    Marker type liner, you say? i used to be averse to them, but sweet tits, I got this in my BirchBox 6 mos ago and it is now pretty much my go to liner.

    Eyeko.

    Good stuff. I was at a friends' party, hooked up w/ a dude, and crashed for the night. Woke up the next day and my friend said "OMG, you look exactly like you did last night."

    Got it at Sephora. Obviously, it has lasted awhile too just as a sample size.

    Eyeko.
    You beat me to it My friend gave me hers (the one she got came in green/olive, and I have green eyes) and I am in HEAVEN. It sets super fast so once it's on, it's not going anywhere and you don't really have a lot of leeway for quickie touchups like with most other liners. But it will. not. budge. for hours upon hours upon hours.

    Surprised the crap outta me, they started carrying GOSH in the Shoppers Drug Mart near my place (I live in Canada) and I got it on a whim. I've tried GOSH's eyeshadows before and was really disappointed with their pigmentation

    Sets similarly, but with 2 distinct avantages: it peels rather than smudges (think how First Kiss mascara comes off in those tubes...), and I find the MAC brush gets gunky after awhile. Also, it's blacker than MAC.

    I bought the Stila one a couple weeks ago because it had such good reviews, but its shitty. So I'm sooooo skeptical now.

    ^^I like the pigment of the Stila liners, but they smear really easy... I'm a fan of the Kat Von D, or whatever liner. I like the pencil and the liquid...

    Yeah thats why I hated it! It was the liquid one, but it like got too sheer after like an hour. I only like MAC's liquidlast liner and Maybelline's liquid one.

    For sharp cat eyes I'm pretty committed to Urban Decay: Perversion -- stays on all night (and I sweat like a dog, especially coming off stage) and liquid still has a nice consistency even after a few months.
    Unsophisticated in the finest sense of the word.
