In this video, I’m sharing my honest thoughts on the Nykaa Black Magic Gel Liner—what I like, what to watch out for, and whether it’s actually worth your money. If you’re new here, hi hello—I’m Shanthi, an Indian mummy in sunny Singapore, and I love doing beauty reviews and easy makeup looks. This one is a proper product review where I break down the claims, the wear test, and how it performs on my oily eyelids. Nykaa makes a big plus point for me because they don’t test on animals, and this gel liner is also dermatologically tested and (from what I understand) paraben-free. It comes in a glass pot (3.5g) and includes a silicone brush, which I actually find super handy and travel-friendly—just toss both into the makeup bag and go. Nykaa claims it’s waterproof, smudge-proof, quick-drying, creamy, long-lasting (up to 12 hours), and intensely black. I can vouch for most of these based on my workday wear test (around 9 to 6): it stayed put, didn’t move around, and didn’t smudge on me even with my oily lids. The only real catch is that it dries quite fast, so if you’re doing elaborate liner work or trying to perfect a smoky look with it, you need to move quickly. Overall, I rate it a 5/5—an outstanding, affordable gel liner (₹575) that gives you serious value for money.
