I was very interested in this product when I saw the ad. I LOVE make-up and I am such a sucker for everything new. This is well worth the $9.00!! The gel [it isn’t a liquid] goes on really smoothly with the included brush--LOVE the brush! You can smudge it for a smokey look or layer it on for a darker dramatic look. Also if you have a liquid glitter liner like Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Liner you can overlap it once the gel is dry for a super high drama look. And the best part is that it LASTS--it lasts for 24 hours and is waterproof. Over all I really am happy with this product and would recommend it to any one.
