NELF Waterproof Gel Eye Liner Silver : Swatches & Review

I like wearing silver liner on my eyes. Silver liners give a new sparkling dimension to my otherwise small & deep set eyes. I am always in search of the perfect & true silver eye liner and not the very common greyish-silver, which I detest. I have spotted such silver eye liner in L’Oreal Paris, but it was about 675 bucks…. too costly for an eye liner, but only I know how I kept my self from from buying that liner. It was so creamy & silvery.. I was instantly in awe.

Few weeks back, when I was visiting my maternal city, Gurgaon, I had a chance to go out with my sister, I stumbled upon nelf. The local market was full of nelf makeup. Just to test the waters, I bought a  lip gloss & a gel eye liner. I bought the gel liner without noticing it was silver. I thought I was purchasing a black eye liner to compare it with my trusted Maybelline’ s Black gel Liner. When I got home, and I opened the packaging I was like, why does it look like so silvery. And then I read, “Silver” on the back of the packaging. I had mixed feelings.

My Views:

I have used it for 3-4 times by now. I like how silvery it goes on my eyes. It pops my eyes beautifully. It has some grey undertones though, but not overpowering. I use silver colors on my eyes, as they are small & deep set.

The consistency of the liner is creamy, it is very easy to apply and intensify. Being creamy it does not fall off of my eyes lids as such, but sometimes I have seen very tiny shimmery particles around my eyes.

Pigmentation of the eye liner is impressive. If you use a right brush you can achieve perfectly lined eyes with few strokes.

Staying Power of the liner is great because it is water proof. I have worn this liner an entire day (approx 7-8 hours) until I took the product off my eyes with an oil based makeup remover at the end of day.

Another plus point of this gel liner is that, it doubles up as a creamy eye shadow. I have worn it as an eye shadow too. It stayed there on my lids beautiful with out much smudge for 3-4 hours and then I took it off. I wore it over a primer.

I said earlier to use a right brush, because the brush that comes with this liner is rubbish and use less. The bristles of the brush tip are smooth but so thin that the bristles can’t hold much product. And you need to dip the brush again and again, which kills the fun. Also I am so habitual of using Maybelline’s Gel Liner Brush, that this brush just could not please me. I use Maybelline’s gel liner brush to apply the Nelf’ gel liner.

If I had not found this liner, I would have definitely purchased that L’Oreal Silver Liner sometime. But nelf’s silver liner saved my few bucks.

Likes:

• Gives a beautiful silver colour (with very little grey undertones).
• Creamy Consistency.
• Nice Pigmentation.
• Affordable.
• Waterproof.
• Staying Power is amazing.
• Can be used as a silver eye shadow too.
• The gel liner comes in black and brown too. Not sure about other shades available.

Dislikes:

• Comes with use less brush. Since I have many maybelline’s gel liner brushes lying around, I don’t mind that.
