Introducing,
the most requested showdown!
CS gel liners versus MM gel liners!!!

MM - clear glass, size is bigger than CS, labeled

Price (not including shipping)

CS - $6.95 (approx Php330.00)
MM - $7.95 - 9.00 (approx Php390.00-440.00)


Amount of product

CS - 3g
MM - 3g


Gel Color

Black
CS True Black - matte, darker than MM (can create a more dramatic dark eyed look)
MM Inky Black- matte, plain black (creates a natural look, can build up the color for dramatic look)

Brown
CS Truffle- matte, reddish brown
MM Cocoa - matte, real brown

Texture

Black
CS True Black - very creamy, spreads easily but have to wait a bit for drying time
MM Inky Black - creamy, spreads easily, shorter drying time. I like this texture more

Brown
CS Truffle - not too creamy, a bit on the drier side but spreads really well
MM Cocoa - same texture with MM Inky Black, just the right kind of creaminess, easy to spread the color

Drying time

Black
CS True Black - due to it's texture, has to wait a bit to make sure completely dry
MM Inky Black - dries right after application, no waiting time, imagine using a pencil liner

Brown
CS Truffle - dries right after application, no waiting time
MM Cocoa - dries right after application, no waiting time

Smudging Factor

Black
CS - no smudging when completely dry, but if it's not too dry yet and you rub it accidentally, it smudges a bit (photo below, and I only talk about the CS True Black color)
MM - once you applied, it doesn't budge and smudge

**note, if you let CS liner dry up further before smudging
there won't be any smudges

Brown
CS Truffle - no smudging
MM Cocoa - color doesn't smudge but it disappears if you rub SUPER hard

**Note: I rubbed this super hard! Look at the redness of my wrist!

How long does it stay on your eyes? (for both colors)

CS - the lashline stays long until you remove it. For the waterline, it starts to smudge a bit after 4-5 hours.
MM - the lashline area stays long until you remove it. For the waterline, it is the same with CS, it smudges depending on how watery your eyes are

Versatility and usage (for both colors)

CS - the other colors can be used as base
MM - I'm not sure if the other colors for MM gel liners can also be used as base

CONCLUSION ---

Both liners work well. It all boils down to your own preference. If you ask me who the winner is for me, I personally go for MM Gel Liners. Why? Because I own a lot of shades of CS gel liners and I find that their gel liners aren't consistent. Though the price of MM gel liners are more expensive, I still save up a lot on shipping as I can have free shipping for orders $20.00 above. Or even if I don't get to order products more than $20.00, shipping is affordable and costs less than $5.00.

Of course, these are my opinion. Feel free to let me know your thoughts if you also own these 2 brands! :)


I hope this helps to ladies out there!
