Well, I guess I am a little late, but I want to voice my love for gel liners! :-)

I use MACs, Bobbi Brown´s and the Indelible gel liners and I love them all..
BB´s are the smoothest of those three and are very easily smudged to avoid harsh lines. MA´C´s fluidlines run a close second IMO and can be smudged just as easy (it depends on the colour you work with, though. Blacktrack is great and super-pigmented, Delphic (a light shimmery teal) has to be "packed" on, otherwise it´s sheeer, smudging equals disappearing). The Indelible ones are a little drier in consistency, haven´t tried smudging those.
If you come up with a gel liner, I´d love to see it in smaller sizes. I know for sure that my myriad of liners will be dried up before I´ve used them half (and those are 3g and 4 g pots).

As for colours - I love them bright, since my usual eye makeup is "neutral with a twist" (aka: colourful liner ;-) ).
As for brushes: I love MAC´s 209 (pointed tip) or something similar to it...the one BB is offering as a gel liner brush is good as well. Some people prefer the MAC 266, but noob that I am , I find it impossible to get a thin, even line with that one.. I hope it´s okay to mention other brands?? If not, please delete this post and sorry!

Eva,
The beauty of Karen's liners is that there really is nothing in them to dry up. It really is more of a cream liner formulation, but very similar to gel liners in consistency. Yes the containers are small, but the contents will last a very long time. I am not sure how many colors are currently in the works as well as a colorless to mix your own, but I am sure she will be open for requests once the product is launched. These should be out very soon. There is a really cool video of the colorless one on Karen's Blog. http://silknaturals.vox.com/library/pos ... ealer.html

I have testers in two colors. I know I will want more when they are added to the line. On me they last all day as long as I don't forget to set them with Perfecting Powder. It is an extra step, but definitely a fair trade for a product with natural ingredients.
