Inglot Duraline and How to Use It

So lately I discovered this magic elixir that is Duraline by Inglot Cosmetics. I was researching on how I can revive my gel products; I have a Milani brow pomade and 2 Maybelline gel liners that noticeably dried and not does not apply as smoothly as before.One hack I saw as I surf the web was the misting the brush with MAC Fix+ before dipping into the product. But I was determined to find another solution and thus I saw various video and blog posts about Duraline.

It didn’t take much for me to be convinced that this is the best solution and in no time, I found myself wanting to buy one. Unfortunately, the product is out of stock in their SM Mall of Asia and Glorietta store. I bought mine from a makeup artist/seller in one FB group I joined. The product was reasonably priced at Php900.00 plus I paid the shipping fee of around Php60.00
Product Description:

“Duraline Mixing Liquid

Duraline mixed with a makeup product of your choice creates a liquid waterproof application.”

Duraline comes in small 9mL rectangular glass bottle. It has a glass dropper for dispensing the product.
Consistency is like oil but has no smell. It is also paraben-free and hypoallergenic J 
I’ve put 2-3 drops of Duraline in one section of my gel liner and let it sit for a minute.
Here is a photo comparing swatches of the product with Duraline and without. You can see that the swatch with Duraline is more pigmented and application wise, the gel liner went on smoothly.
Aside from the brow and eyeliner gel, I also used Duraline for the following:

1. For eyeshadow and pigments 

I pat a small amount of Duraline on the lid  before putting eyeshadow. The color payoff of this technique is amazing. I have also tried, mixing a drop of Duraline and powder pigment in a palette, and the result is the same. The product really brings out the color of the eyeshadow/pigment.

2. For various colored liners 

Now, I don’t need to buy every color or shade of eyeliner. I just scrape some eyeshadow or pigment; mix it with a drop of Duraline in a palette and then use my eyeliner brush. Red , yellow, green liner? No problem! The possibilities are endless J 

3. For highlighters and blushes

Using the same technique as I do with my eyeshadows/pigments, I scrape some of the highlighter or powder blush and mix Duraline. The result? I get a gorgeously pigmented liquidy highlighter or blush. Sometimes, I just dab some Duraline on the areas I want to put higlight or blush before putting the powder product.

4. For mixing foundations 

Ever since I used the RCMA foundation, I am always on the lookout for techniques on how I can bend it to my will. One technique I discovered is mixing it with Duraline. As I warm the foundation on my palette, I put 1-2 drops of Duraline. The application is smooth and blending the product is easy. Plus the foundation does not feel oily or heavy on the skin.

Overall, I highly recommend this product to makeup artists and makeup enthusiast alike. With this product, you can maximize any powder product you already have as it instantly transforms them into a cream or liquid form. This will help you save money as well, as you don’t need to buy every product out there. It’s versatile, smudge proof and will last a long time. With its price and the many wonders it can do, Duraline is a steal and will surely be a staple in your makeup kit J
