WOC which is the blackest gel/cream liner?

[j4lyphe]

Hey ladies I really want to get a Black gel/cream liner and I'm debating between the Bobbi Brown gel liner in black or the MUFE Aqua Black Waterproof Cream eyeshadow. Which one is darker (bcuz many look grey on my NW45 skintone) and which one stays on longer if u have oily lids like I do? Just wanted to know bcuz I am thinking of getting one in the Sephora F& F sale.

I know you didn't ask, but I really like the one by Clinique. (I think they call it a cream eyeliner though.) It's overlooked IMO. It's super black on my skin (NW50) though not as black as Smolder e/l, and it doesn't budge from my super oily eyelids once it dries. It will smear if you touch it before it dries. Also, it's waterproof and hasn't dried out in the 1 yr that I've had it.

I think it costs ~$14 so like ~$11 with the sale.

Disclaimer: This is the only non-pencil eyeliner that I've ever used.

I use Inglot's Matte Black Pure Pigment with their Duraline (mixing medium) & eyeliner brush. It's so so so very black! ... and because it's a powder I can also use it as a base & eyeshadow too.

I know Inglot's hard to get for some so you could probably do a simlar thing with another brands pigment & mixing medium?

Another vote for Clinique Brush-On Cream Liner - True Black, applies effortlessly and does not budge once dry.

Sleek cosmetics also has a black eyeliner its super black and i'm nw47

MUFE, BB, MAC all make a great gel el in blackest blacks.. I think the blackness depends on your personal preference.. I look for black AND waterproof.

The darkest black that i know of whic i find better than blacktrack is the wet wild gel liner and its only 4 bucks at drugstores.

I believe I must have bought one which was defected. It literally was like trying to scrape for gold!! It was so dry and clumpy.

I keep all my gel cream el, paint pots and any cream es well capped and if they feel a bit dry or start separating from the edges, I put in a droplet of an oil based eye makeup remover (I use Bifacils - Lancome) and leave it on top overnight -- usually the next day they look brand new

Thanks ladies i will go try out the Clinique one to see how that one works (Ive tried the MUFE one and it really DOES NOT budge on my oily lids but I want to try out the Clinique and BB one as well to see how long they last and to see if theyre darker than the MUFE one).

 

[Soul Unique]

Thanks for the advice HerGreyness, I even tried wetting the brush [as well as the product], no bueno

perhaps when my Clinique finishes i'll possibly give Sleek a try again.

Let us know which one you prefer! I may want to try a different brand/kind when my Clinique runs outs.

I tried to get my hands on the Bobbi Brown gel liner at the Sephora F&F sale. Alas its sold out! oh well I'll try the Bobbi Brown counter at Bloomingdale's tomorrow.

If you look closely in strong light, you will see that the MUFE has a slight blue undertone. I also found that this flaked on me. Bobbi Brown to me is like MAC's Black Black Chromaline (which I absolutely adore because it wears like iron) & both are a tar black color -- think asphalt. Many say the BB also wears extremely well. Check out the BB reviews on QVC.com. For the most true, purist black my #1 choice is Shu Uemura which also wears extremely well. My 2nd choice would be MAC's Blacktrack. The only one I haven't checked out yet that gets rave reviews is Clinique's. Whatever you do stay away from Tarte's Clay liner which completely dries in like a month. For an inexpensive drugstore brand, Wet 'n Wild to me is like Blacktrack -- slightly glossy. My HG's are Black Black Chromaline & Shu Uemura.

Just for the heck of it, you should check out MUFE new Aqualesse(sp.) liquid colors. Just saw it on the Sephora site today. It's a water- based pigment(?) that is safe to you anywhere on the body including the eyes -- technically is would be a liquid liner. On my way to Sephora tomorrow to check this new baby out. Note to self, check out the Clinique gel liner.

Let us know what you choose.

i like blacktrack fluidline- it doesn't budge on me. i will, however, be trying the wet and wild liner; i've heard good things about it from others.

 

[j4lyphe]

Thanks Summerblue- I am kinda leaning towards the Bobbi Brown if it ever comes back in stock on Sephora.com (my local Sephora store doesnt carry the BB line).
@ She: I have tried MAC's Blacktrack and it is not black enough for me, it shows up dark grey on me. I have tried the MUFE Aqua black cream eye shadow and that truly does not budge but it seems to be just a smidge darker than the Fluidline so it still shows up grey (maybe the mua didnt apply enough since the tester was really dried out?).
Gonna go to the Clinique counter at my Macy's to see how that one goes

 

[summerblue]

BB is also sold at the major department stores & at QVC.com

 

[j4lyphe]

So I tried the Clinique cream liner, it is darker than MAC's Blactrack and the MUFE aqua cream BUT it is not as long-wearing as either of the 2. I had it on for 10 hours and it did start to fade and smudge at the outer corner of my eyes (I have oily lids). But I do like the darkness of it- it would probably be more long-lasting if maybe I use a primer like UDPP underneath it.
If the BB gel liner doesn't come back in stock on Sephora I will order it from elsewhere.

 

[summerblue]

Wow, you have oily lids & w/o primer it lasted 10 hours! I think that's terrific! I'll have to check the Clinique out -- like a need more than 2 favs! lol!

I vote for the Clinique cream liner. I've had my jar since February and it hasn't dried out yet. It stays true black and doesn't smudge all day.
