Best Gel Eye Liners In India- Top 7 Affordable & High End Options!

Best Gel Eyeliners in India- Smudge proof & Long Lasting

Most of us start our eyemakeup journey with the good old liquid liners and when that spells trouble we move on to the convenient felt tip pen eyeliners. However, if one wants a completely smudge proof and intense pigmentation then a gel eye liner is your best bet. Be it a simple wing or a cat liner or even the much loved graphic liner – gel eyeliners are very easy to control and apply. They generally come with a complementary brush which applies the products smoothly and dries off to a beautiful matte finish. It is also very long lasting and can be used as a base for eye makeup.The only issue is the fact that gel liners have the tendency to dry out and hence need to be closed tightly and stored upside down. Apart from that, it is a must have product for every eyeliner junkie. Thankfully, Indian brands have a wide variety of gel liners but it still can be very confusing.So here are out top picks as the best gel eyeliner available in India including both affordable and high end options.
