I feel like I&#8217;ve tried every conceivable drug store option for a pen liner, nothing quite reaches my expectations. Are my sights set too high? I don&#8217;t know, all I want is something that genuinely stays on all day (and night if required) and is fairly simple to apply. I&#8217;ve even dropped my request for it to be the blackest of blacks now, but the staying power is non negotiable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/DSC06555-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-703\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/DSC06555-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/DSC06555-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/DSC06555-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/DSC06555-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/DSC06555-2048x1151.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/DSC06555-107x60.jpg 107w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/DSC06555-840x473.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Ultra pigmented gel eyeliner pot with precision angled brush.  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First Impression <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whist I have never used a gel eyeliner pot before, I found it to be quite easy to use. The gel was much firmer than I was expecting, but it loaded onto my brush and applied to the lid easily. I didn&#8217;t use the brush that it came with as I found it wasn&#8217;t as precise as I would have liked so instead used a smaller liner brush also from Revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The product dried onto my lids quickly, which was a positive when I&#8217;d got the hang of the application, but did make it quite difficult to work with when I didn&#8217;t know what I was doing. Once the liner was on and set, I couldn&#8217;t then go over the same area again to adjust anything <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wear Test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After just a few minutes the line started creasing and smudging off, the first picture below was after the product was applied maybe 5 minutes previous. The second picture was about 8 hours later and as you can see it smudged all over the lid and rubbed off in the crease. I didn&#8217;t have any eyeshadow products on my lid that could have caused it to not stick properly, only a little bit of bronzer through the crease which is very much standard for an everyday look. Also peep the cat behind me in the after picture, you&#8217;re welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_5924-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"752\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_5924-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/?attachment_id=752\" class=\"wp-image-752\" srcset=\"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_5924-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_5924-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_5924-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_5924-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_5924-45x60.jpg 45w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_5924-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_5996-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"790\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_5996-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/?attachment_id=790\" class=\"wp-image-790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_5996-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_5996-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_5996-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_5996-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_5996-45x60.jpg 45w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_5996-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have since tried this liner a few more times. Once trying to just define the lash line and not add a wing, same issue with smudging and transferring. I&#8217;ve tried to apply it then go over it with a black eyeshadow, although this set the product in place at first it still smudged through the day and do I really want to do a whole extra step like that every time? Absolutely not. If I&#8217;m going with eyeshadow afterwards anyway, I&#8217;ll just use that and skip the gel eyeliner all together.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Would I recommend? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately the answer would have to be no, it doesn&#8217;t come through with its &#8216;life proof&#8217; claims. It doesn&#8217;t even stay on a very chilled day in the house so I definitely wouldn&#8217;t trust it not to budge during a full day at work or whilst out and about. It is easy enough to apply, which honestly is about the only god thing going for it, it&#8217;s not the blackest of blacks and I just wouldn&#8217;t reach for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the quest continues, what black eyeliner should I try next? What&#8217;s your favourite go to liner, liquid or otherwise I&#8217;m open to ideas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Milli x<\/em> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Revolution Gel Eyeliner &#8211; \u00a36 in Superdrug Will this quest ever end, trying to find the perfect black eyeliner seems so impossible at this point. &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":703,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[57,4,23],"tags":[187,147,29,28,37,138,73],"class_list":["post-687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-beauty","category-makeup","tag-affordable-makeup","tag-eyeliner","tag-make-up","tag-makeup","tag-makeup-revolution","tag-review","tag-superdrug"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/DSC06555-scaled.jpg","post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/687","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=687"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/687\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":809,"href":"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/687\/revisions\/809"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
