Velvet Love Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner (Kakao)

I’ve had this in Cocoa for about two weeks and it’s survived a full workday plus a sweaty gym session without smudging once. The gel stays creamy enough to smudge out for a soft daytime look, then sets solid for a sharp wing later. Just make sure you’ve got a good brush on hand—it doesn’t come with

The Cocoa shade is such a deep, rich brown and the gel texture glides on without tugging. I did a smoky smudge look with a brush and it stayed perfectly put through a sweaty commute.

I've worn this through a 12-hour workday plus dinner and it didn't budge, even in the corners. The cocoa shade is rich enough for a smoky smudge but still soft for a precise flick with the 317 brush.
