KIKO Milano Lasting Gel Eyeliner | Gel eyeliner

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Cleaner Alternative – Smooth, Long-Lasting & Easy to Use I bought this after it came up on the YUKA app as a better alternative with cleaner ingredients. I’m trying to make more sensible choices without all the unnecessary additives, and this KIKO eye liner really impressed me. It’s very easy to apply and goes on smoothly with great colour payoff. You do need to let it dry for a moment, otherwise it can transfer onto the upper lid, but once it’s dry, it stays put all day. No smudging, no fading. It works perfectly on both the waterline and lash line, giving a precise, even, and long-lasting finish. The colour is deep and intense instantly. Overall, a brilliant automatic eye pencil from KIKO Milano — clean, smooth, and reliable. I’d definitely buy it again!

I have super sensitive eyes and usually get some kind of reaction from eyeliners (itching, watering, redness — you name it), but this one didn’t bother me at all, which is honestly a big deal for me. The gel texture goes on really smoothly, and the black is nice and rich. I use it with an angled brush and can get a clean line or smudge it out a bit if I want a softer look. It lasts pretty well throughout the day — not completely smudge-proof, but I’m fine with that. Also does take a while to dry Definitely recommend if you’ve got sensitive eyes or just want a solid gel liner that’s easy to work with.

I have sweaty, hooded eyelids and my eyes water a lot. Unfortunately for myself, I love winged eyeliner. For years, I've tried many different eyeliners, from liquids to pens and pencils. Finally, I've tried gel eyeliner and it was so much better, had a lot more pigmentation, and was easier to apply, but I still struggled with smudging in the outer corners - I have accepted that this was due to my eyes, not the product. My usual brand of gel eyeliner was out of stock and I needed a fresh pot ASAP, so I decided to try out Kiko. This gel, let me tell you, it's absolutely amazing. It glides on smoothly, dries quickly and it stays on all day. And I mean over 14 hours! I can sweat, I can cry, I can even take a shower and it does not budge at all. However, it's not perfect. The product dries within a few weeks and then it becomes hard to apply and crumbles a lot quicker than when it's new. This means that there's always some waste as it becomes impossible to apply. Not a big deal for me, but it might be very wasteful for someone who does not use it as frequently as I do.

GOAT: This is the one you’ve been looking for! I wanted to wait until I’d tested this eyeliner before I wrote a review. I’ve been using it for 3 weeks now and I have found my forever product, please don’t discontinue this Kiko! I have been wearing gel eyeliner for over 15 years. I started with the big guns (Bobbi Brown/MAC) and then moved to Maybelline Lasting Drama as it was more affordable. That has been recently discontinued so I had to find a new one. I did some research and read all the reviews of the Kiko before I bought it. I am SO impressed with this product. I have watery, itchy, sensitive eyes that are hayfever prone. I need an eyeliner that does not budge, and blimey this one doesn’t. I took it on holiday and wore it on a boat trip. Sea, sun, streaming eyes. It did not move. I am now in love with this eyeliner. It’s buttery soft in the pot, glides on like a dream and does not come off until you take it off. I know it’s probably going to go hard in the pot but they all do, anyone who knows gel eyeliner like I do knows you only get about half of the pot before it goes off. Don’t hesitate, buy this. You won’t regret it!

I've bought other "lasting" eyeliners in the past, and they don't tend to last more than a day, and when I wake up (I have a bad habit of not removing makeup before bed) they often transfer a LOT to above and below around my eyelids. This though? Phenomenal. It's still visibly lasted after a few days (faded a little but still looks like I've got eyeliner on), does transfer a little in sleep but nowhere near as much (my mascara is probably more culpable), and holds up flawlessly when crying. The only downside is that you need to provide your own eyeliner brush(es) and keep them clean very frequently otherwise the bristles go stiff affecting application, plus I struggle with getting a fine line due to the brush or how thick it ends up on the bristles despite wiping it against the rim of the jar. Maybe that's a skill issue though. Overall I'm very impressed, reckon the pot will last ages, applications are super long lasting. Don't think I'll ever go back to felt-tip style eyeliners after experiencing this, I just need to perfect my skills and routine.

Intense black and natural ingredients. Dries quickly and is easy to apply. Doesn’t stay on well on oily skin, so I stopped using it soon after buying

I needed an eyeliner which would stay on in even the worst hay-fever days, when my eyes are a damp sticky mess. This eyeliner is amazing!! It stays on even if you have severe allergies or go swimming. Once it has dried it literally never smudges. It's super easy to get off, you just need an oil based remover, I usually just use castor oil on a pad to get it off as castor oil is good for your lashes. The only downside is the product doesn't last too long once you've opened it, it does tend to go gloopy after a month or so, and I've not found a way to get it smooth again. Once it's gone gloopy it doesn't stay on your eyes as well, it sort of dries up on your skin. It is quite similar to the Mac waterproof liner, but is much better value for money so I stick to Kiko.

So I only had it delivered today but I tried the back of hand eyeliner test and it’s enough for me to be horrified.I drew to lines and a wing shape and it was so sticky and thick and oodly like tar so then I attempted to wash it off and it was sticking to my hand like car oil (well like the stuff they use in greese the movie I ain’t a mechanic but yeah) worst thing imaginable I’m so lucky I didn’t put it anywhere near my eyes. I got a red mark from rubbing so long to remove from my hand alone. And so I looked at the ingredients and aqua(water) is not listed anywhere all safe makeup should contain water I didn’t check when I brought it because why tf am I having to check to see if there is water in makeup (obviously will do that now though) genuinely horrible and now I have a itchy hand
