Inglot AMC Gel eyeliner- Matte 77: Review, swatch, EOTD

Inglot AMC Eyeliner Gel- Matte 77
Hiya everyone!

Today I’m reviewing a gorgeous black gel eyeliner from Inglot, one of my favourite make-up brands. A black eyeliner is a must-have for everyone. Read on to know more about this eyeliner.

About Inglot AMC Gel eyeliner- Matte 77: WATERPROOF Long-lasting, waterproof formula. Can be used as an eye shadow or body painting gel. Brush number 30T is recommended for eyeliner application. PARABEN FREE FORMULA NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS 5.5g/0.19 US OZ

Price: Rs. 850 for 5.5g

Packaging: The eyeliner comes in a small, flat, round transparent plastic tub, with a black screw-on cap. It is a no-fuss packaging. No applicator brush is included with the pack, unlike the gel eyeliner packs from Maybelline/ L’Oreal. So you’ll need to buy a separate eyeliner brush for use with this gel eyeliner.

My take on Inglot AMC Gel eyeliner- Matte 77: Matte-77 is a flat black eyeliner, highly pigmented, very smooth and creamy, and very easy to apply. I scoop out a bit of the product (about the size of a rice grain. You need less than that amount of the product for lining both the eyes) with a clean eyeliner brush on the back of the hand before applying to avoid contaminating the whole thing. Since the product is very light, airy, and smooth, it gets applied in a jiffy. And it sets very quickly, like in about 5-10 seconds, so you need to be quick with application. 

Once set, it doesn’t budge from its place for a long time. On my very oily lids, it sometimes tends to transfer to the upper lid by the end of the day if I do not powder the lids. So if you have very oily lids like mine, remember to apply some loose/ compact powder to the lids to increase the staying power. It doesn’t get completely transferred, but it does!

On other days, when I powder the eye lids, it stays for about 10 hours on me.

The finish is matte, and it stays like that the whole day.

The eyeliner is a jet-black shade, and I love how pigmented it is. The only down-side with Inglot gel eyeliners is that these supposedly dry up very soon. The drying up can be delayed by keeping the lid of the pot tightly closed, keeping the pot in the cardboard box that it comes in (to prevent chances of contact with air), keeping the pot upside down (secret tip from the MUA’s). If it does dry up eventually, add 1-2 drops of Inglot Duraline to get back the consistency of the gel.

And, ya, you will need a separate eyeliner brush too. I use either the brush that comes with Maybelline gel eyeliner (it’s mighty good!), or the Ambika Pillai eyeliner brush or the Sigma E05 eyeliner brush (yet to be reviewed on the blog). Just remember to clean the brushes after each use. If any amount of the gel liner dries up on the brush, you'll have a hard time the next time :P

Pros of Inglot AMC Gel eyeliner- Matte 77:

• Jet black, highly pigmented shade
• Very smooth and easy to apply
• Stays put for a long time
• Waterproof
• A little goes a long way

Cons of Inglot AMC Gel eyeliner- Matte 77:

• Need to buy a separate brush
• The gel eyeliner can dry up soon
• A little pricey!

Verdict: I quite like this eyeliner for the rich pigmentation and smooth texture. You need to be good at the art of applying eyeliners before you start using gel eyeliners. But once you use these, you’re sure to get hooked onto gel eyeliners. So do give these a shot. Inglot gel eyeliners come in a plethora of colors to suit everyone’s taste.
