Epic Inky Stix Creamy Mechanical Gel Eyeliner

A cream gel eyeliner pencil is an eyeliner that combines the creamy glide and intense pigmentation of gel pot liners with the convenient, easy-to-control format of a pencil. Epic Inky Stix delivers the same smooth, ultra-pigmented formula you’d expect from a gel or cream pot, but without needing a brush for application. The click-up mechanism and slanted tip make it simple to create thin detailing, bold wings, or graphic liner shapes with precision.

A cream gel eyeliner pencil is different from liquid eyeliner because it offers gel-like pigmentation and glide in a pencil format that’s easier to control. This pencil format changes how it applies, the styles of eyeliner you can create, and the level of precision you get. Below is a comparison to help you decide which formula best suits your skill level and desired look.
