Illamasqua Sealing Gel - Genius


Magic!!!!!! Would you like to know how to turn your eye shadows into eyeliners????

 Plus eyeliner that stays put until you take it off. No melting off or smudging.

I recently purchased a little gem called Illamasqua Sealing Gel. Please see below for the instructions.

I have had the time recently to test it out with some eye shadows. I have found it works best with Illamasqua Eye shadows, but it still does work with other brands. I found it mixed better with the Illamasqua products.

Some people dab the brush into the sealing gel and then pop the brush onto the product, personally I didn’t like the way that worked (that is just my preference it works well for other people) so instead I got a small palette and a spatula and took some of the product from its packaging and popped it into the pallet. I then squeezed two small drops of the Illamasqua Sealing Gel into the pallet and mixed it together with a brush or you can use a cotton bud. This way is a tad more time consuming but the results are much better.



Surprise there you have it, a nice vibrant eyeliner, which was once an eye shadow – Brilliant.

The picture I have done here is using Illamasqua’s powder shadow in shade Permission. Ok its not a colour that you would wear day to day, but it shows well that it works as eyeliner. Looking at that picture I cannot believe it use to be an eye shadow.

And you can also see form the picture I have swatches of each of the Illamasqua eye shadows I have, I wanted to show you all just how vibrant the colours look using the sealing gel.

Not only does this transform eye shadows into eyeliners but you can also transform Pure Pigment, Eye Brow Cake Or Eye Liner Cake (already an eyeliner but with the sealing gel it is locked in for longer) and use across the face or body.

As Illamasqua quoted “Be Bold, be original and stand out from the crowd”

You can purchase the Sealing Gel from www.illamasqua.com at a price of £10.50. The box includes two small bottles.

I purchased this last week for £6.00 from Superdrug and I have to say out of all the Gel Liners I have used over the years, expensive and not so expensive this has come out on top.

The brush to appy this product is in the lid you just pull the top and off it comes. (See picture) The liner is really creamy and applies like no other I have used before.

It glides on so easily, it has a soft like gel texture which makes it much easier to achieve that trendy winged look. You can make the flick as small or as big as you wish. But whichever you choose, one thing is for sure with this product it will look stunning. :-)) Gel liners are less messy than their liquid counterparts and by using the fine brish which is applied you can create really precise lines.




Have fun x

Winged Cat Eye

I created a winged look a few days ago, using the Bobbi Brown Gel Cake Liner, which comes in a small pot. I applied this using my angled illamasqua liner brush, Fantastic brush for getting those well defined lines. You can view Illamasqua’s make up collections at www.illamasqua.co.uk they have some amazing products. Have a go at creating your alter ego. :-)
