Illamasqua - Eyeliner cake in 'Mislead'

I was so excited when this finally came through the post; this is definately the new generation of eyeliners. Previous to this I swore by Bobbi Brown's gel liner, which applies beautifully but the annoying thing about it is that the pot always dries up when there is still one fifth of the product still left. Wasted make-up makes me sad :( But fear not because there is no chance of that happening with this product. I bought the sealing gel with it as I was told it would last much better than if i used water. So basically the cake is a super pigmented colour (almost like a palette of eyeshadow) which when mixed with the sealing gel becomes the greatest eyeliner known to makeup lovers everywhere! My bit of advice would be to practice, practice and practice, because you really need to get the consistency of the liner perfect in order to get the results expected.

After I managed to whip up the pefect paste, I applied to my top lash with an angled brush - much harder than I originally anticipated (and believe you me this is not as easy as gel liner to wipe away) so i ended up switching to a a finer pencil brush. The colour and finish was truly amazing, I still need to perfect my hand at this, I already love it and now applying make up will truly be painting my face ;)

So this was how awesome the liner looked after 10 hours of wear... really should have taken a close up (duhh)!
