5.0 out of 5 stars No irritation + goes on smooth — really happy with it

a. · 4 August 2025

I have super sensitive eyes and usually get some kind of reaction from eyeliners (itching, watering, redness — you name it), but this one didn’t bother me at all, which is honestly a big deal for me.The gel texture goes on really smoothly, and the black is nice and rich. I use it with an angled brush and can get a clean line or smudge it out a bit if I want a softer look. It lasts pretty well throughout the day — not completely smudge-proof, but I’m fine with that. Also does take a while to dryDefinitely recommend if you’ve got sensitive eyes or just want a solid gel liner that’s easy to work with.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for hay-fever sufferers

c. · 27 June 2024

I needed an eyeliner which would stay on in even the worst hay-fever days, when my eyes are a damp sticky mess. This eyeliner is amazing!! It stays on even if you have severe allergies or go swimming. Once it has dried it literally never smudges.It's super easy to get off, you just need an oil based remover, I usually just use castor oil on a pad to get it off as castor oil is good for your lashes.The only downside is the product doesn't last too long once you've opened it, it does tend to go gloopy after a month or so, and I've not found a way to get it smooth again. Once it's gone gloopy it doesn't stay on your eyes as well, it sort of dries up on your skin.It is quite similar to the Mac waterproof liner, but is much better value for money so I stick to Kiko.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best gel eyeliners I've used

N.J. · 29 October 2022

I have sweaty, hooded eyelids and my eyes water a lot. Unfortunately for myself, I love winged eyeliner. For years, I've tried many different eyeliners, from liquids to pens and pencils. Finally, I've tried gel eyeliner and it was so much better, had a lot more pigmentation, and was easier to apply, but I still struggled with smudging in the outer corners - I have accepted that this was due to my eyes, not the product.My usual brand of gel eyeliner was out of stock and I needed a fresh pot ASAP, so I decided to try out Kiko.This gel, let me tell you, it's absolutely amazing. It glides on smoothly, dries quickly and it stays on all day. And I mean over 14 hours! I can sweat, I can cry, I can even take a shower and it does not budge at all.However, it's not perfect. The product dries within a few weeks and then it becomes hard to apply and crumbles a lot quicker than when it's new. This means that there's always some waste as it becomes impossible to apply. Not a big deal for me, but it might be very wasteful for someone who does not use it as frequently as I do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Waterproof

M.M.J. · 30 March 2025

This is easy to apply because of its consistency and the fine brush applicator. It then stays in place until removed with eye makeup remover. This is usually a plus, but when I rushed application I found that I couldn’t remove the mistake without having to remove all my eye makeup and starting again. I now remember that I have to allow a few seconds for it to dry. When I apply it right though, I am very pleased that nothing is going to shift it until I want to remove it. Definitely the best eyeliner I have found at this price point.

5.0 out of 5 stars Staying Power💕💕

Absolutely brilliant, truly waterproof and definitely no smudge after seconds of drying. I definitely recommend 💕💕💕💕

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but a little too wet

T. · 22 April 2025

It’s wetter than I had expected, smudged a little.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best waterproof eyeliner

A. · 28 June 2024

I have been using this eyeliner for years. It’s matte (which I personally prefer) and smudge proof. I use it everyday just for the wing, as my eyes can get quite watery, and this way it lasts me months! Water resistance is 10/10. I’ve fully submerged underwater, wore it to water parks, wiped my eyes and it stayed on. Consistency is quite thick so you need to know what you’re doing when you apply it, otherwise it might be tricky to keep it neat. As any waterproof products you need a special oily solution to remove it (coconut oil does the job for me). All in all, great value for money

1.0 out of 5 stars Clumps on lashes DO NOT BUY

R.H. · 8 May 2025

Do NOT buy this. I usually use Maybelline gel liner and this looked the same so I bought it. It dries on your lashes making them clump together and it makes your eyes feel heavy and tired.

Se borra con el tiempo y se embarra en la piel

T. · 30 March 2025

Es muy preciso, tal como en la descripción, además es mate. Lo malo es que al no ser waterproof se empieza a borrar con el tiempo y a embarrar en la piel. Al final del día terminas como mapache o como panda, con la cuenca de los ojos negra y con ojeras terribles, sobre todo si usas maquillaje o si tienes la piel grasa. Probaré el delineador waterproof, a ver qué tal. Este en definitivo no lo recomiendo.

I didn’t like it!

D. · 7 June 2021

I really like Kiko! Sadly this product isn’t one of the best... wouldn’t recommend.

Difícil para aplicar y desmaquillar, duración extrema

T. · 26 April 2025

Es bueno si practicas natación o si sudas mucho, porque aguanta intacto todo el día, no se despinta ni se embarra. Lo malo es que no se desmaquilla con productos regulares o suaves, forzosamente debes usar aguas mice lares con aceite, de lo contrario simplemente no saldrá aunque te talles mil veces. Esto es muy problemático si tienes piel sensible o reseca, porque te lastimará la piel. La otra desventaja es que este tipo de aplicador es difícil de usar y no favorece para nada la precisión, para eso es mejor el delineador Kiko mate o el lápiz. Esos sí son súper precisos, este para nada. Si no tienes un excelente pulso y si tienes piel sensible o reseca, este producto definitivamente no es para ti. Lo recomiendo solo si tienes que nadar o hacer alguna actividad física que necesite un delineador de duración extrema.

It's possibly being discontinued......

A.W.K. · 19 January 2019

My review was number one on here for this eyeliner for years because I tried and and reviewed more than 8 products but now that it's possibly being discontinued, I am noticing third party sellers on here charging over more than double or even TRIPLE the normal price. Kiko Milano's website showed it was out of stock until today, and I notice they have doubled the price of the eyeliner and it's now $21.99! It's still a drug store grade product so if you are going to pay that price, the only other eyeliner that was better than this one was Mac's Liquid Last. Don't get gouged! The problems I have had with the liner was that it would dry up and the consistency became gloopy after about 2-3 months. The only way I found to remedy those problems was to clean the brush one time with make remover and to use disposable mascara wands as needed. It does waste some product, but it would last longer and not be thick or gloppy. It was superior to all I had tested (except for one) and I bought this for years for $12.99. Now, they have priced it the same as Mac's so I have decided to switch brands. Here is my original review for those interested." I have worn Make Up Forever's Pro Liner for the last decade. It's been discontinued and so I have been searching high and low for a suitable replacement. It has to be waterproof, long lasting, matte and not thick! I also have to use a brush, not a felt tip thingy because I am old school. First one I tried, Mac Liquidlast but it was soooo thick that it was impossible to get a smooth line without globs. Second one, Thrive Causemetics. Not matte, not waterproof so off the list. I was very disappointed in that one. Easy application for a beginner but it didn't stay on well either. Third, Blinc. This one rolls right up into a little ball when dampened and with a light amount of rubbing. Maybe that's what they designed it to do. But, I live in humid Florida and work outside so that one didn't make the cut. I did like the brush, the color and the way it applied but I don't believe for a second it would be a long wearing eyeliner (which isn't that the point?) The fourth one was Kiko Milano. This one is in a class by itself. This one isn't coming off without using a remover and an eyewipe (which I have, so not a problem!) For me, this one is the winner thus far. It's a little bit thick but so much thinner than Mac's Liquidlast that I'll adjust. You might need a makeup brush dipped in remover until you get used to the formula. The fifth, and the biggest loser in the race is Wunder 2 Super Stay Liquid eyeliner. I am really mad I bought that. I knew their pencils were junk (you cannot sharpen them at all because the pencil is plastic and the liner itself is extremely soft.) If you complain, you will get the answer "You need to use a professional pencil sharpener." Yeah, right! Whatever that is! This liquid eyeliner comes right off, it isn't matte, it has a weird felt tip thingy, and it's not even a nice rich pigment. I will be testing more before I settle on Kiko Milano for sure but so for, it's the closest thing to MakeUp Forever Proliner (not to be confused with Make Up Forever Aqua liner...which I don't like.) The next one tested (and the most expensive was Guerlain at $38) ouch! Useless as far as being waterproof. I found it useful in a way though because the eyeliners that are waterproof sometimes go on uneven because they are thick. Maybe some of the others can be used to even out the thicker liner when it doesn't go on as easily. The final two are Bobbi Brown and a stage make up called Ben Nye. Neither compared to the Mac Liquidlast or Kiko Milano but Bobbi Brown's comes in third thus far. I hope this helps someone. Feel free to ask questions. I am 56 and have worn eyeliner since my teens. I am a tour guide and a retired fitness instructor so I know what stays and what smudges, runs, or disappears. I wish these make up companies would quit putting shine in everything. Eyeliner that looks like patent leather looks garish on women over 35!"
