"   Are you tired of your usual smoky eye? Spice up your look this summer and give gel eyeliners a try! Their smooth and moist texture will allow you to create delicate lines that&amp;#039;ll take you from subtle to sexy in no time.  To make it easier for you, I played makeup guinea pig and put three different gel liners to the test. As a novice of gel, I quickly discovered that if you&amp;#039;re attention shy, beware! And if you love the spotlight, then start lining, as you&amp;#039;ll be right in your element.  WANT BEAUTIFUL SKIN ON A BUDGET? WE&amp;#039;VE GOT THE BEST BUYS HERE Look #1: Purrfect eyesProduct: Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner  Inspired by Jessie J, this look is actually super easy to recreate. Plus, the gel-like tint is neatly contained in a glass pot, making it easy to wipe off excess product directly back inside without wasting any away.  Step-by-step to get the look: Using an eyeliner brush, sweep a clean line above your top lash line and as you reach the outer corner, make the line slightly thicker by pressing the brush harder onto the lid.  For feline-like eyes, re-line the top lash line and continue to draw past your eyelid in a straight diagonal line. Stop approximately 1 cm outside the tip of the lid. Line your lower lash line too and join with the top line on the outer corner of the eye.  The verdict: I loved how this look gave the appearance of a fuller and thicker lash line. But keep in mind that the eyeliner doesn&amp;#039;t come with its own brush or applicator, so unless you have one already that&amp;#039;s more money you have to consider spending.

Plus, the water-like texture makes it easy to control how much liner you want. To recreate this look, you&amp;#039;ll need a touch of dark eye shadow to add an extra degree of mystery and pizzazz to your stare.  Step-by-step to get the look: Start by covering your lids with dark grey eye shadow extending it slightly onto the brow bone towards the outer corner of your eyes. Neatly dab some along your lower lash line as well.  Grab your gel liner and line your top lid creating a think line. Stop 2mm past the outer corner of the eye, leaning the line slightly upwards. Draw a thinner line along the lower lash line and join with the top one at the tip. Beware: don&amp;#039;t make this line too thick or you&amp;#039;ll end up looking like a panda!

But if you&amp;#039;re not feeling brave enough bare this elaborate henna-like pattern, then just go for a simple flick on the outer corner of the eyes.  Step-by-step to get the look: Dab a light brown shade all over your lid, then using your gel applicator, draw a clean line over your top lashes and end it with a small upward flick. Extending from the flick, continue drawing a line and swirl underneath. Branch off from the main line, creating shorter swirls and flicks. For the flower pattern, draw a circle with a &amp;quot;C&amp;quot; shape on top. Draw a longer flick in a downward curve, perpendicular to the &amp;quot;C&amp;quot; shape. Trust me, in practice it&amp;#039;s easier than it looks! Tip: to correct any mistakes, dip a cotton bud in eye makeup remover and gently rub off any smudges or unwanted lines.  The verdict: Ding ding ding! This product was the cleanest to apply, even for gel eyeliner virgins like myself. The fine-tip pen helped me create the most elaborate patterns with ease, making it a must for my makeup bag. I can&amp;#039;t wait for my next night out to use it again!
