    Apply with our Eyeliner or Precision Liner Brush for best results. Using the tip or side of your brush, pick up a small amount of product and line the eyes from inner to outer corner in one sweep if possible. If necessary, wipe excess product off brush prior to application to prevent applying too much in one area. Always recap tightly after each use. Be sure to thoroughly rinse your brush after each use as the Constant Color Gel Eyeliner can dry on the brush, making it harder to use next time.

    Your initial application of the Constant Color Gel Eyeliner should impart a smooth, even line of color. If it does not, you may need to add more product to your brush. If you need to add more eyeliner, do so immediately before your original application has set into place. Once the Constant Color Gel Eyeliner has dried, applying more may cause flaking, particularly along the lower lashes.

    Lining all the way across the upper eyelid (from the inside corner to the outer edge) is classic but you can also begin and end the line where your eyelashes stop and start. Along the lower lash line, it is best to line only the outer two-thirds of the eye.

    Create a softer line under the lower lashes by using less of the liner. For a subtle daytime look, leave some space on the inside corner of the eye where the lashes end. This prevents a too-severe look and won't visually "close up" the lower lash line. Always make sure that upper and lower eyeliner meet at the eye's outer corner. You can achieve the look of a lighter and darker shade of eyeliner with one shade of Constant Color Gel Eyeliner. Simply layer for a more intense effect on the upper lash line and apply a single, softer layer to the lower lash line.

    The thickness and intensity of your eyeliner should ideally be determined by the size of your eyelid. Those with larger eyelids look best with thicker, softer lines while smaller eyelids look best with a thinner, more intense line. If your upper eyelid is not visible at all, do not bother lining it.

    For reasons of hygiene and eye safety, do not apply Constant Color Gel Eyeliner to the rims of your eyes.

    I am having difficulty applying your Constant Color Gel Eyeliner evenly. Any suggestions?
    Applying a unique, water-resistant product like the Constant Color Gel Eyeliner does take some practice before it becomes second nature. We recommend following these steps to achieve a perfect application:

    • Gently stroke the flat side of a Paula's Choice Eyeliner brush over the gel. It only takes a small amount to line the eye.
    • If you get too much eyeliner on the brush, use a tissue to carefully wipe off any excess before applying as too much may cause flaking.
    • For the upper lash line, begin at the inner corner of the eye, placing the brush against your lash line as close to the lashes as possible. Move the brush from the inner to outer corner in one fluid motion.
    • If you miss a spot, go over the area immediately. Do not wait for the product to dry. Once the eyeliner has set into place, applying more may cause flaking.
    • Do not layer the Constant Color Gel Eyeliner. Too many layers may cause flaking.
    • Follow the same application technique for the lower lash line, but start with even less product on the brush (the lower lash line should appear thinner and softer than the upper lash line).

    Two raves: 1) I am thrilled with the Constant Color Gel Eyeliner. I am frequently on stage facing hot lights, plus I have oily skin and I sweat. This eyeliner has lasted through everything I've done so far, plus it is easy to apply. 2) I have never used anything that improved my skin like the 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Liquid. If I want, I can even go without makeup because my skin is so clear. I never dreamed I would be able to say that.
    —Virginia G.


    After using another brand of cream eyeliner I ordered your gel eyeliner. When it arrived I remember thing that it was smaller than the other brand BUT then I tried it. I am throwing away the other brand immediately. Your liner went on so like silk, smoothly in one application, and lasted all day without smearing or smudging. The other brand took several tries to get a line across the lid, pulled and clumped on the brush, and smeared under my eye by day's end. And don't even get me started on how awesome your Epic Lengths mascara is. I've searched for years, the search is over!
    —Nan


    I have tried every eyeliner out on the market, they ALWAYS faded away by the end of the work day, leaving me looking tired and wash out, the constant color gel eyeliner in FANASTIC!! It stays on fresh all day until I wash it off. It is the ONLY thing my daughter and I will use. Thanks for making an awesome product that is perfect for me!
    —Elizabeth K.


    WOW! I have never tried gel liner before and am completely hooked; this is a terrific product and the brush is perfect for its application. I absolutely LOVE the 'earthen' color, just a perfect accent. Once again, Paula has outdone herself!
    —Deanna W.


    FINALLY, eyeliner that stays on ALL day and STAYS put until the end of the day. I LOVE your gel eyeliners. They are the ONLY thing I've found that doesn't smudge or wear off. Thanks Paula! You've done a great job!
    —Jane Y.


    I love the gel eyeliner, better than all the rest. Stays put,no touching up. I wear contacts so this is such a plus for me, seriously, now let's talk about adding color choices!!!!! It really is the best.
    —Kelly N.


    I've used Paula's skin-care and makeup for years, but I finally had to write about the Constant Color Eyeliner. I love, love, love this product! It wears beautifully and looks so natural. I'm going to buy one in every color. Thanks for yet another wonderful product!
    —Melissa P.


    I really love this product, the creamy texture, the neutral colors, and it's long wearing. I am fair so Earthen is fabulous for daytime. I like this a lot more than trying to use powder eyeshadow as liner; it doesn't get in my eyes or dust my cheeks. Get the Precision Liner brush. It works great with the cream.
    —Peggy C.


    High Praise for your Constant Color Gel Eyeliner! Absolutely wonderful, long wearing and perfect for me. Creamier consistency than Bobbi Brown's. Thanks!
    —Paula M.


    This eyeliner is the absolute best!!! I have always had difficulty with liner staying put, plus I HATE the tugging sensation that comes with putting pencil liner on. It is easy to change the look by altering line size and smudging. Thanks for a wonderful product!
    —Lori B.


    I've gotta say, I'm impressed! I'm a lifetime pencil user, because most liners look too harsh for me. Problem is, pencil doesn't stay on, because I have those mid-day oily eyelids. I bought the Earthen color, because (again) most liners look too harsh. The color is subtle and lovely ALL DAY! Wow!! Great product! Many thanx!!
    —Merry S.


    I don't rave about much but I ordered your Constant Color Gel Eyeliner because my La Prairie million dollar one needed water and I was too lazy to keep running to the bathroom from my bedroom. The old one also flaked over my skin. What a surprise Paula's Choice was the best and I will never use another. As a result I have ordered a bunch of samples for other things and I'm sure you will become my cosmetic counter!
    —Annemarie T.

    gel eyeliner miracle
    After reading all the reviews, I thought, What the heck, and ordered Earthen and Nightfall with the Precision brush. The price was good - much better than other gel eyeliners I was looking at - but nothing prepared me for how it works. WOW! It is so easy and the Earthen, which I thought would be too light in the jar, is the perfect hint of depth around my hazel eyes. I'm never going back to pencil or liquid - ever! How DO they keep making such great products?!
    —Jen

    The Bomb
    This is the most amazing eyeliner I have ever used... and I have used a lot! I am very conscious of what I put on my face and how it wears throughout the day... your eyeliner hasn't failed me yet - not in the heat of an 11 hour outdoor shift waiting tables, not in the ocean, and not even when I cry (and I cry quite a bit) I will most certainly try more of your products! Thank you!
    —Caroline

    This liner is number one
    This liner goes on smooth, natural, and stays on. Espresso is a beautiful color, and probably flattering on everyone. And, it works better and is less expensive than the MAC gel liner I had been using. Great job!!
    —Ayako O.

    This eyeliner is fantastic
    I wore it to the gym a few times for the ultimate test, and no amount of sweating or face blotting would move it! It sets the bar sky-high in terms of quality and longevity. Nothing else I've tried comes close!
    —Kasey C.

    The Best Eyeliner
    SPECTACULAR! This eyeliner DOES NOT smudge, wear off or fade on me. It literally stayed put for over 10 hours. Thank you Paula for making this, and all the other wonderful products that I have purchased from you!
    —Donna

    eyeliner
    I wear contacts, so using an eyeliner was all most impossible for me.(rub my eyes a lot) Until I tried this one,if I can wear this & keep it on anyone can. FANTASTIC!
    —Donna F

    Don't leave home without it
    After trying your gel eyeliner I won't leave the house without wearing it now! It goes on beautifully and stays put all day. Thank you for another great product!
    —Cindy

    Note from Paula's Choice Customer Care
    Try using our makeup remover or shampoo to clean the brush with. Also, be sure the cap is kept on and tight. Leaving it exposed to air can certainly dry it out. We have also increased the thickness of the cap liner to help prevent it from drying out. Hope these tips help.
    —Paula's Choice Customer Care

    Best Eyeliner Ever!
    Absolutely the BEST eyeliner ever! Once on, this eyeliner does not move, wear off, or run. Buy Paula's eyeliner brush and you'll have a clean, slim line of color. I use it underneath my bottom lashes and can get a thin, precision line. Not at all harsh looking, as some liquid eyeliners have. Thank you Paula for creating one great eyeliner product! Great choice of colors too.
    —Laura

    Paula's Gel Eyeliner
    I really like the gel eyeliner-very smooth and nice colors. However, had GREAT trouble getting it out of the brush-clumped up.
    —Nancy Kaltenbach

    gel eye liner
    I was very happy with the gel eye liner at first. Went on very smoothly and didn't pull. However, after using it for a while, it started to dry up. I was told to swirl the tip of the brush in the gel and this would help, it didn't. The same thing happened to a friend of mine. Would like to know if anyone else had this problem. Note from Paula's Choice Customer Care: This can occur from trying to add water to thin it out, which is what I did in the beginning and it clumped. It also can happen from stirring it too deeply as opposed to skimming the top.
    —Julie Piechoski

    Great eyeliner
    I am a life-long user of pencils and never thought I'd be able to master eye liner. However, your gel eyeliner is the absolute best product ever. I tried Shiseido and almost gave up. Paula's eyeliner is so creamy and stays put. I have dry eye and my eyes tear up frequently so it is really important I have something that is enduring and long-wearing. Thanks so much!
    —Donna B.

    Awesome Stay-Put Eyeliner!
    Amazing! I give this 6 stars! I never wore eyeliner on a regular basis until I discovered this gem. It is very easy to apply. It can look natural or dramatic depending on application. And....it honestly stays on all day long. I use the Paula's Choice Eyeliner brush currently, and that's great. I plan to get the Precision Liner brush to see which I like better. I have very fair skin, but I use a thin line of Espresso and it looks very natural!
    —Elizabeth H.

    Gel Eyeliner
    I had the same dried up problem as the lady on this review page that rated the eyeliner a one. Mine did not look like the picture when it arrived, it had pulled away from the sides of the jar and was concave, as if it had shrunk rather significantly. The eyeliner worked quite well at first, and I love the colour, but I have to take a tissue and wipe off the top layer every now and then to get to the more moist product below. Unfortunately, now it's starting to flake and 80 percent of it is left. The product would be excellent if Paula can fix the drying up problem that seems to effect some of the product. (My MAC gel eyeliner doesn't seem to have this problem.)
    —Laura Woodhouse

    Hated it.
    Couldn't figure out how to use it, even though I bought the brush from Paula's Choice. Product seemed dry and difficult to apply. Tossed this one in the trash.
    —Juliet

    Great product, poor packaging
    This eyeliner was GREAT at first - just could have been a bit more gel-like. Even capped at all times and kept away from heat, it got drier and drier until it became painful to spread on my eyes.
    —Ivy

    Dries out fast
    At first, I really liked this product but it became hard and dry shortly after opening. The jar is almost full and I cannot use it! I would avoid this product.
    —Voco

    Good product, but not what I was looking for
    Good eyeliner but results were the same as what I get with a pencil and I really wanted something more like a liquid. Seemed dry for a gel but color was soft and natural.
    —Betsy

    Amazing Stuff!
    It lasts all day and looks like a pencil eyeliner (not heavy like a liquid). Washes off with soap and water. Incredible.
    —Rachel

    Fantastic
    While I liked the look of eyeshadow as eyeliner...it never lasted the day. Paula's gel liner works great and stays put! I did need an eyeliner brush with shorter bristles.
    —Calista

    spectacular
    Love how smooth it goes on. Use the precision brush and soften the bristles on the back of your hand before dipping in product. Need more colors...blue please!
    —jodi

    Great, until it dries up
    I have most of the colors. They are beautiful, but even after capping tightly after use, start to dry out. For some reaon, the Smoke Grey color is still creamy, unlike the rest.
    —Carolyn Stockton

    dried out
    Like other reviewers, I loved this product at first. It went on great and lasted great. BUT within a week or two it seemed dried out. It is pulling away from the sides and it is clumpy and doesn't go on well any more. I am wondering what the return policy it like.

    gel eye-liner
    I guess I made the mistake of buying two liners. They are kept tightly closed but both became dry not long after purchase. I'm not very happy with the life of product.I do like most of your products and have been a customer for years. Is there anything I can do to make these liners usable?

    Dried Out
    Thought I was the only one who'd had this problem. Loved the color & great staying power. Getting it on a problem because of dryness. Until I tried MAC gel eyeliner, I had no idea it was supposed to go on smoothly. Customer Care: Please call our Customer Service for assistance with finding a product that will work for you.

    —Pam

    Dries out fast
    I bought 2 or 3 times and each one dried out very fast, within a week or 2. The colors were beautiful, though, and they were wonderful to wear the couple of times I was able to. I read somewhere that if you microwave or blow dry them, the consistency comes back. Curious if that works. I got Bobbi Brown's gel liner several months ago and it is still like whipped cream - AWESOME product.
    —R

    allergic reaction
    loved the color and the idea! i was so excited that it didn't smudge. Two days later my eyes were quite swollen and after numerous tests, I sadly concluded that it contained something that didn't agree with my eyes. I couldn't return it because I don't live in the US. Customer Care never responded to my inquiries. And it dried out super fast. disappointing. Customer Care: We are sorry to learn of the reaction you felt occurred because of the Gel Eyeliner.

    gel eyeliner
    Although this gel eyeliner has good staying power,It does not go on smoothly at all. It is dry. I just received my first pot of onyx and am disappointed. I expected it to be creamy, not hard and dry. Customer Care: Please call our Customer Service for assistance with finding a product that will work for you.

    —Cathy Tessier

    Gel Eyeliner
    When mine arrived it was also pulled away from the sides of the jar and looked as those it was already starting to dry out and shrink (had the same concave look and the pot did not look "full" like the picture). If the formula can be tweaked to fix the drying up problem it would be great, although understanding that if its too creamy it would negate the staying power needed by those of us with extremely oily eyelids. Maybe there was just a "big bad batch" that made it through quality control? Customer Service: We are sorry to learn of the reaction you felt occurred because of the Gel Eyeliner.

    Best eyeliner ever
    This is the best eyeliner ever. I've always had a problem with eyeliner looking like I used crayons. This goes on smooth and perfect every time. I also love the eyeliner brush. Amazing results every time. Thank you Paula.
    —Laurie Ross

    Finally. NO SMEARING!!
    I have oily skin, particularly eyelids, and severe dry eye. This eyeliner STAYS PUT where I place it and doesn't irritate my eyes. Before I found Paula's, I thought I just wasn't going to be able to wear eyeliner at all. Thanks again Paula!
    —Tammy Davidson

    Dry gel liner
    As noted by other reviewers of the gel eyeliner the liner I recieved was too dry upon opening and difficult to use. It was pulled away from the sides. It appeared that it was old or outdated. I called customer service and was sent out a new gel eyeliner. I love the color and was hoping it was just a one time problem, however the new gel eyeliner I received was still the same (too dry) so I ask for and got a refund. Customer Care Response: Thank you for the feedback! We apologize about your experience with this product and want to assure you that your feedback has been shared with Paula and her team. We will be sure to update consumers should there be any future changes to this product. In the meantime, we will do our best to make sure these defective units are not leaving our facility.

    Chunky Thick Goo
    I have tried the brown and purple gels. At first, they were creamy and glided on but quickly became thick and chunky. When I would apply them they would grab my eyelid and leave a gloppy misshapen line on my lid. I threw them away out of frustration. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience with this item. We would like to credit you for the item without you having to send it back to our office. If you would please contact our service team with your full name and mailing address, we will make sure a credit is applied promptly.
