Starry Long Lasting Waterproof Eyeliner Gel with Brush Violet Purple

I love eyeliner - I'd skip shadow in a pinch, but never liner. I'm always looking for the best colours and smoothest application, and I love this gel liner. The pot seems very small when you open it, but it really is a lot of liner because you don't need to use much. I usually use a separate, higher end brush with any non-pencil liner, but the brush that came with this is perfect. It picks up just enough to get a smooth line without wasting any, and it's buildable - one swipe will give a nice, slightly translucent line, and it only takes three swipes to get the bold colour you see in the image. The brush is small but not so small that it is hard to work with. I live in Baltimore, where it is generally blustery this time of year, which tends to make my eyes water. I usually have to touch up my bottom lid after walking to my destination, but this liner withstands the wind and water. In fact, I fell asleep with my makeup on and woke up without shadow but with liner intact. It comes off easily with eye makeup remover, though I must mention that I use remover designed for waterproof mascara. I highly recommend this liner - I would have bought the 12-colour set, but I just don't see wearing some of the colours. (Same review left for Violet Purple, Midnight Sky, Teal Green, Titanium Silver and Pixie Dust.)

This tries to go on a bit clumpy, and also is too translucent. It's not the solid, bold royal purple I was hoping for. I have purple hair and got this for eyeliner and to fill in my brows to match my hair. It doesn't quite cut the mustard on either task. I recommend Ben Nye Lumiere Grand Colour in Royal Purple for both tasks done perfectly.

color is nice and vibrant... as long as your willing to work with it. It's not the easiest gel liner to work with but it applies on okay and takes several applications before you can get a nice vibrant color out of it. Once it's on, it's pretty. And I wear it with my purple mascara. :)

This liner smears/smudges/ transfers onto the upper portion of my eye. Even while using primer. I had to apply a lot just to make the color appear as it is shown in picture. This liner also wears off pretty quickly & easily. I really don't see how the liner can be waterproof. Overall, I'm disappointed with this product.

I love the color with my hazel green eyes. The shade is dark enough to be subtle so I don't have to worry about it looking too young for me and I can wear it anywhere. The color is rich enough to add color and be interesting. Perfect for a change. The pot is small enough for the to go make up bag, the brush that comes with it is convenient and small to get a perfect application, allowing the desired shape and thickness of the line.

Evidently I can wear off even the longest of long lasting waterproof eyeliner by the time I hit the office. I don't think I've been rubbing my eyes;-)

I was hoping it would be a little more vivid. It more of a darker plum color, but pretty. It is not smudge proof unfortunately.

I do not recommend this eye liner for the 45 and older crowd, it does not spread the smoothest and is sort of drying...
