Review: Sigma Standout Eyes Gel Liner Collection

Hey beauties!
Sigma Beauty was kind enough to send us their new gel liner collection "Standout Eyes". They come in 6 shades ranging from your classics to a few colorful shades. You can check em out by following the link below: 

REVIEW.

PIGMENTATION: 8/10 
These gel liners had great pigment to them while still being smooth and creamy. The only inconsistent shade would be Royally Striking (purple) which had a different texture. It would streak and was a bit difficult to build over. I noticed if I let it dry for a bit then went over it again it would become more opaque, but building before it set was a bit tedious. The rest of the shades has a great opacity and creamy texture that made it really easy to draw clean lines. They dried quickly enough so it wouldn't transfer or move but there was still a good amount of play time in case you gotta clean something up or change the shape of your lines.
LONGEVITY: 7/10
All the shades had about the same longevity which was about 6-8 hours. I noticed the purple shade dried and got a bit flaky but that's probably because I had to layer it a few times. The rest of the shades had no issues with flaking or fading. 
APPLICATION: 9/10
The gel liners came with two brushes- E06 & E68. Both brushes help with creating the perfect cat eye. E68 (larger brush) helps with making a crisp line on the lid and the E06 is a bit smaller but still has an angle to help with defining a clean wing. I much prefer using the E10 (small eyeliner brush) while doing my liner, however the E06 and E68 are great to learn with! 
PACKAGING: 9/10
The packaging and presentation was clearly just beautiful while still being functional. The gel liners had a classic glass jar with a circle cap and Sigma logo. The package kept the liners in place and organized. I would probably keep them in that package because I am a hoarder. Duh.
OVERALL: 8.5/10
These liners are beautiful and smooth with a great shade range. They're great for keeping in your kit for diversity or if you like changing up your liner slightly while still keeping it classy and sophisticated. I feel like I have all the shades I would need to a quick dark liner or something a little more fun (like the grey and teal)! Thank you so Sigma Beauty for this beautiful package and awesome new line of gel liners!
