Collection 2000 vs Eyeko London

I decided to do a comparison between two of my eyeliners; collection 2000 lasting colour gel eyeliner and Eyeko London skinny liquid eyeliner.

The collection 2000 i have had for quite a while and for some time it was my daily liner. This liner is fantastic as the colour is very bold and dark meaning the line stands out and brings the eye to life. It has a brush included and i find this brush to be good at creating precision lines. The only downfall of this product is that after a whole day without makeup setting spray it can create some smudging, but other than this i'd definitely recommend this product.

Eyeko is very convenient as it is already like a felt tip pen so it is easy to glide onto the eyes and you don't have to faf about with it. It leaves a neat line with a delicate point, however the colour isn't as dramatic as the collection 2000. It is also prone to rubbing off after a full day, however this may be due to the skin around my eyes being quite oily.

As the more expensive product, you'd expect Eyeko to e the best quality product. To begin with it worked marvelously and the line was very easy to draw on. It did quickly lose its colour though and after only a few weeks it was very faint. The collection 2000 however it dramatic every time and the pot lasts for ages! I know there is a difference between gel and liquid however with previous products I've found liquid to be better so i believe it is just this brand. My recommendation would be to save abit of money and invest in a gel liner as opposed to a liquid as they last so much longer and give a much more definite finish which doesn't smudge off during the day (I've found liquids have a tendency to do this). The collection 2000 is only £4.99 making it even more appealing. In my personal experience i would always use a gel eyeliner now.
