In the era of graphic liners and the growing popularity of the siren eye, everyone needs a good gel eyeliner. Although liquid liners are what we are used to seeing on social media these days, I wanted to bring your attention to why a gel eyeliner might be the better choice.

I’ve noticed that the majority of my favourite MUA’s opt for a gel eyeliner rather than a liquid pen. After all, you get way more control using a gel eyeliner with a great angled brush, opposed to its liquid counterpart, thus making it much easier to use. Not to mention the longer shelf-life, cost-efficiency and the ability to create bigger shapes without worrying about using up too much of your liquid eyeliner.

Recently, I have been trialling the new gel eyeliner from Aleph as I absolutely adore the rest of their line. It’s a clean and microplastic-free formula, born from an influx of consumer demand. I had super high expectations for it and to no surprise, Aleph has absolutely nailed the formula. Just like their other launches, I’m sure this one will fly off shelves incredibly quickly. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised as it reminded me why I used to love using gel eyeliners in the past and it inspired me to share all my updated tips to master the latest eye trends!

Although most of us will be familiar with the original gel eyeliners from M.A.C or Inglot, newer releases have the advantage of providing up-to-date and nuanced formulations to fit the current standards. The Onyx gel liner from Aleph has a unique water-based formula that isn’t your typical pomade type gel liner. I almost think of it as a liquid-gel hybrid that allows you to make sleek fluid lines with the ease of using a gel liner. Furthermore, gel liners give you the 100% assurance that you won’t experience any flaking or bleeding. In any case, let’s dive into the ever so diverse world of gel eyeliners!
