Ingredients
How to use
Choose the brush that's best suited to the eye makeup you're aiming for. Put 1-2 drops of Aqua Seal into the palm of your hand, or onto a cap or small dish, and dip the brush in it before applying your eye makeup. Alternatively, apply your eye makeup and then coat it with the brush dipped in Aqua Seal to blend it in. Wait a little while for it to dry and it will become waterproof! . Dip the tip of your eye pencil in Aqua Seal to create a waterproof eyeliner that won't smudge.

My eye makeup tends to come off easily, especially on my lower eyelids, and it was almost completely gone by the morning. I tried wiping it off with tissue or dusting it with powder before applying makeup, but using this product has improved it! I apply it directly with my fingers, but I wonder if there's a way to use it more neatly? If you wait for it to dry before applying makeup right away, it won't come off. I want to buy it again when it runs out, so I hope it lasts.
I bought this product after reading reviews that said it could be used to turn existing eyeshadow into eyeliner. The sticker on the product said to load the brush with powder and then apply eyeshadow, but when I did, it left a smudge-like residue on my eyeshadow. Well, I figured it might happen about half the time, so I only used the edge of an eyeshadow I wasn't particularly fond of, so it wasn't a big deal. But be careful not to do it with your favorite eyeshadow. You could either load the brush with powder thoroughly and then apply Aqua Seal, or, even though it's a bit wasteful, scrape off some of the eyeshadow with a spatula. With the former, you can't add more eyeshadow later, and I feel like I'll end up scraping it off again, so I'm thinking it's better to scrape it off from the start. Depending on the eyeshadow you choose, you can create unusual eyeliner colors, and you can use strong, pigmented eyeshadows or darker eyeshadows that don't wear off easily, so I'm happy with it. I think makeup lovers will especially enjoy it. I also like the eyeliner itself, as it doesn't look too harsh, but rather has just the right thickness and texture, as if it was drawn with a gel liner and then slightly blurred.
(I haven't gotten the hang of it yet, but I'll give a proper review after trying it out more.) It's small, and I bought it based on reviews because I wanted to make my powder waterproof! It seems like it will be useful in the coming seasons, the rainy season, and summer, so I'll give it a try, haha. Cost-effectiveness? Well, it's small, but I think it's fine if you only need a small amount, but I've used up quite a bit in the trial and error phase, haha.
I came across this product because I wanted to use my favorite color eyeshadow as eyeliner. It's a magical item that makes your favorite eyeshadow last longer! It's small, but a little goes a long way, so it's good value for money. I hope it never runs out.
I bought this to keep my makeup from coming off as much as possible. It's easier to use with a brush than a spray, and it lasts just as long as a keep mist.
