These Are The Best Gel Eyeliners To Pull Off Graphic Eyeliner Looks

Depending on your comfort level and skill, there are fun ways to draw the graphic eye using a gel eyeliner. A reverse cat-eye is unique without going too crazy. Makeup artist Sabrina Rinaldo told Refinery29, "Drawing attention to the lower lash line elongates the eye and creates a unique look that's easy to pull off." It can be challenging to draw the perfect cat eye with a liquid liner unless you are a pro or practice enough. For most of us, the easy route is to use gel eyeliners because they are easy to use and can help you draw the perfect wing that will stay put. Fortunately, gel eyeliners are available in many forms, such as self-sharpening pencils, regular eye pencils, retractable applicators, and easy-to-use brushes that make the whole process of drawing dramatic lines around your eyes much easier (via Byrdie).

Gel eyeliners are incredibly versatile because you can get the precision of a liquid liner without all the hard work and flexibility to create any look you want of a regular eye pencil with staying power (via IPSY). Also, these gel eyeliners won't tug the skin at all, and it's essential to be gentle around the eyes because the area around them is very delicate. New York City-based makeup artist Delina Medhin told Allure, "You don't want to use too much pressure on the eye."
