What if I told you that you can spend 10 bucks and make all of your eyeshadows double as liquid eyeliners? Well I am. That is what I am telling you.
It’s called eyeliner sealer (or sometimes sealing gel) and it is a makeup junkie’s dream come true! Imagine any of your eyeshadows, pigments and glitters available in eyeliner form at your beckon call, that’s the dream folks.
To use it, all you have to do is load your eyeliner brush with whatever powder formula you like and then dip it into a little of the sealer and mush it around a bit. You can do this on the back of your hand, or a piece of plastic, or a palette (I just use my hand) and voila! In seconds you have an eyeliner, and not just an eyeliner but a long wearing, water resistant one. I know! I almost fainted too.
In case you don’t believe me I have taken it upon myself to swatch a bunch of fun eyeshadows and glitters with eyeliner sealer to show you just how magical it can be.
The swatches are all done with one layer of product, which I have applied with a thick brush to make them more visible for you. Don’t fret though, the lines can be very thin if you use a thin liner brush or angled brush!
You can also find these two in stores at your local Sephora for a few more dollars. I have not, however tested them so I’m not sure if they perform the exact same way. I’m thinking they are fairly similar though.

You can also use Bare Minerals Weather Everything. Works great and lasts forever!
I never tried that one, thanks for the tip!
Or Vaseline if you really want to cut price!
