Lakme Absolute Gel Addict Liners are a new launch in the Lakme Absolute range and were a part of the Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2014 Collection designed by the bridal team of Cory Walia and Manish Malhotra.

Available in 7 shades, they come in a small cute tub form with an extended handle and a brush within the handle. No need to carry a separate brush now. (or worry about loosing it/misplacing which happens most of the time :p)

Texture wise, its more like a mousse. Very very creamy and super light. It will get digged in with just a single dip of the brush. It goes on smooth too. Very long lasting and smudge proof, even the swatch on my hand did not budge. You will need a good makeup remover to remove this completely.

It stays on for a good 7-8 hours, and then starts fading in bits, but does not go away completely.

My only issue was the shade. This particular shade Vine Yard needed layering. I have to go over it 2-3 times for the eyeliner to show up, on my eyes, as it waters down a little, when applied on the eyes.

I have seen the swatches of all the shades and that’s not the case with all the shades. Most of them are pretty pigmented and bright and show up on the eyes in one swipe. I think its only Vine Yard and probably Grey Ash that needs layering.

The shade Vine Yard looks more purple in the tub, but it comes up as a bluish purple with gold shimmer.

Must Have (Black), Bronze, Teal and Deep Sea are the most pigmented. I loved the bronze, it looks gorgeous. Definitely trying that next.

Its slightly over priced too, like all other products in the Lakme Absolute range. I feel it could have been priced at around Rs.600-650/- max.

Overall, its super creamy in texture,easy to use and long staying. Other shades in this range are super pigmented too. Recommended.
