Melt Cosmetics Amor Eterno Gel Liners Reviews & Swatches
Inmortal
Melt Cosmetics Inmortal Gel Liner ($19.00 for 0.088 oz.) is a deep black with neutral undertones and a matte finish. It had a longer dry down time, so for those who want a more smudgeable product or something that has enough fluidity to work as both a gel eyeliner as well as a base product, this is definitely in that vein.
The texture was moderately emollient, gel-like (lighter-weight than a true cream), and applied evenly. It had opaque color coverage in a single stroke that stayed on well for 10 hours without fading or thinning on me.

Cultura
Melt Cosmetics Cultura Gel Liner ($19.00 for 0.088 oz.) is a muted, light-medium orange with strong, yellow undertone and a matte finish. It was richly pigmented in a single, fluid stroke, which applied evenly across skin whether applied with an angled brush or a flat, synthetic brush (as one might to use it as a cream base).
The texture was smooth, lightly creamy but more emollient and a bit “airy” in a way–very true to a gel formula. It took slightly longer to dry down, but it didn’t seem prone to migrating or moving around as it did so. Once in place, the color wore well for 10 hours without fading or thinning.

Fortuna
Melt Cosmetics Fortuna Gel Liner ($19.00 for 0.088 oz.) is a deep, emerald green with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single, fluid stroke that had a longer dry down time, so it was more readily manipulated and smudged, but I did feel like there was some hang time where I was really waiting for it to mattify (it appears glossy initially).
The consistency was more fluid, more gel-like than a cream, and it did seem to have a fair amount slip so it was hard to get a really even application in a single but it built up well with a second layer. It stayed on well for over 10 hours without fading or thinning.

Santos
Melt Cosmetics Santos Gel Liner ($19.00 for 0.088 oz.) is a brighter, medium-dark blue with strong, cool undertones and a lightly sparkling, metallic finish. It had good color coverage in a single layer, which was best built up with a second layer.
It was harder to get a really crisp, even line of color as the formula was rather emollient and slid around readily–almost too fluid–but on the flip side, it would make a nice cream eyeshadow or base because of that slip (the larger swatch shows a more even application). Once it dried down, it lasted well for 10 hours without fading or thinning.

I missed the boat on this collection (sold out on Sephora) .. it was very tem;pting. In retrospect, I wish I had picked up the Santos liner. Very unique.
Launches on 11/29!
Thanks, Christine.. been feeling like I’m one big step behind these days. I’m glad I didn’t miss the opportunity to grab this ?
The one I’d love to use as a winged liner would have to be the deep, rich green Fortuna. That could be so pretty and a welcome departure from my usual black liner!
Was hoping that Santos would also be good as an upper lashline wing, but it sounds like it would be a mess for me to try. Between the long dry-down time, emollient formula and my very hooded lids, it just wouldn’t make it, I fear.
I adore that Cultura; I wonder if I could put that on my lips…
Iris: Check out their lip products. I Think there’s s.t. similar. Maybe the Undertone Noods in golden? It looks orange on the doe foot, but says warm olive beige. What the description references is (duh) undertones, but alll of that set all look different/interesting. Bet there’s a LL or a regular l/s in the shade family, too.
Fortuna is a great shade that is different enough to make it stand out. But I don’t really like the matte finish…
I haven’t worn gel eyeliner in years, but I just may break for these. Fortuna is gorgeous!
Cultura is such an interesting shade for a liner. I think Fortuna is gorgeous.
