As you may have read in some of my posts, I've been having trouble finding just the right brush for lining the Indelible Gel liners. I tried an artist angle brush (bristles were too thick), an artist "spotter" brush (too thin and pokey), and a Conair eye liner brush I've had forever (bristles were too long for the gel liner but great for wet lining mineral powders). After a few of you ladies suggested the AL Thin Liner, I ordered one. I LOVE IT!!! Its bristles are just the right length and density and the handle is a good length too. Since it's not very long (5" total), I can get really close to the mirror too. Thanks everyone for your suggestions and thanks Kristen for providing such a great liner brush at an affordable price!

I use my thin liner everyday for gels, wet lining and dry application. Yet another brush I would not be without!

I just got this brush a couple days ago too! I had been using a thin watercolor brush from Michael's that I liked pretty well. I only wanted another liner brush to have on hand in case I didn't have time to wash the old one or for travel etc. However I LOVE the thin liner even more than the Michael's brush, so now I'm going to replace that one with another thin liner For me it's the short handle that really makes a difference.

The thin liner makes lining so easy. I bought it last year, and can't imagine how I lived without it.
I got it for my daughter with blackout gel for Christmas. Being that she is 16, she waited a few months to try it, because Mom really can't know anything. After trying it and the gel liner, she's now hooked.
Two days ago she asked me to order two blackouts and thin liners for two friends who've been converted seeing how well my daughter's eyeliner stays on all day.

The brush is definitely well priced, I love the quality of the brushes. Thanks, Kristen.

I agree, this is a fabulous brush and one I use pretty much every day. I use it for all my lining applications: gel liners & wetlining w/minerals + sealant or gelée. It washes up really well too and is very durable. Good point about the short handle.

I concur as well!

You know, I've found I prefer a bigger brush for the gels. I used the thin liner exclusively for a long time with minerals and sealant, but since I've gotten the gels I haven't used anything else for lining - just love 'em. I have a bigger brush I like better for the gels - it's thicker and the hairs are firmer. I seriously don't remember where it came from, but it's a lot like the lip brush.

Now, my eyelids are kinda droopy, so I find that if I raise my eyebrows and dab the gel along the lashline I get a very thin line, and I think the firmer brush gives me more control. It took me a while to figure out the gel works better for me if I kind of dab or sketch it on rather than trying to do a long sweep line like with a more liquid liner.
