Smudge Pot Gel Eyeliner

I worked as a bartender/bottle service for years and this was my go to product. When you work in a hot sweaty club environment you don't have time to run to the bathroom to constantly fix your makeup! you need something that you can trust and this is it. But this past year I decided to check out different eyeliners to see if there was anything i loved, but honestly nothing can compare. I am going back to this product because it honestly works and it works well. As others have mentioned it does eventually dry out but i feel like mine never dried out as fast/ or to the point that the other reviewers have posted. I was also living in a desert type setting and I do actually forget to close it (and will find it a couple hours later) and It would take a while before it became too dry to be unusable. When it does become a bit dry I feel like my smudge pots just become not as pigmented and flaky on the brush but its still useable.
