Best so far

Amazing super dark pigment, with the brush that comes with it gives amazing and precise application. On your bottom waterline this product doesnt bleed. product can smudge on the eyelid Constantly re purchasing this and have tried a Lot of different brands of eyeliner. Lasts a long time at least a few months even with daily use Easily comes of with miscellar water or eye makeup remover

Tips: Use the brush that comes with for easy precise application

Its a definite

I am yet to find a gel liner that compares to this! it is really affordable and deserves an A+ i love how it comes in the little pot will a tiny brush and how long the formula stays on once applied. I recommend this product if you are looking for something affordable with the ability to perform like high end products!

Tips: Beautiful for a eyeshadow base if you want a colour to pop!!!

Not The Best

My friend recommended this to me and we used it for a while but eventually gave up on it. I remember the first time I tried it and felt amazed at the intensity of the black color and how easy it was to apply the gel liner.

Because the product is a pot+pen combo, it’s easy to control the amount of gel you’re putting on the eyeliner brush and applying on your eye. The brush itself is thin and light which makes it very easy to go for a winged tip. However, I never got to panning it because I either lose the pen or dry out the gel pot. I even repurchased because I thought I always left the pot open too long. When I bought my last one, I always made sure I turned the pot upside down after I dip in my brush. I kept it fully covered at all times except when I’m dipping in. It still dried out. I would need to use a small spoon to carve out the top layer to get the fresh gel underneath just so I can continue using it. After a week, it would again dry out. It’s overall so hassle to use because the gel itself dries easily and having a separate pen for it makes it hard to carry around. It is also neither smudge proof nor waterproof. It could be because I have oily lids but the color fades by the end of the day.

It is what it is

The Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner is not the most amazing gel liner but it's not bad at all. It's black, it dries to a matte finish and doesn't bleed or smudge but it's not the creamiest or the blackest gel liner I've ever used. I will finish the pot but I don't think I'll repurchase as I'm looking for something a little creamier and blacker.

Tips: I would definitely suggest not to use the angled liner brush that it comes with as it's not really the right shape for creating a crisp line or a winged liner. My suggestion is to saturate both sides of your brush the wipe off the excess and do short strokes as opposed to a one swoop line as it doesn't glide across the eyelid very nicely.

Hard to use

I have this in “blacked black”. This product was not easy to use. It is quite dry for a gel and as a result looked smudged as it didn’t leave nice clean lines. I much prefer liquid eye liner

it smudges

it does have a definite colour coming out but it still smudged after 8 hours of work. I needed perfect-smudge-proof eyeliner so i feel like i should do more hunting.. i'm very peculiar with eyeliner smudging so i didn't finish up the bottle

Tips: it did work better when i applied black eyeshadow over the eyeliner. but it still smudged for me :(

Disappointed

I purchased this product because I had heard so many good things about it... from friends and you-tubers.

When I used it for the first time, I was actually really disappointed. I found the product to be really dry and clumpy, which made it difficult to work with and create a clean and sharp line (I just want to slay my wing!). I question if I got a bad batch, or if they've altered the formula slightly... I noticed in reviews already written below that some found it super creamy and others experienced to be dry and clumpy like I did. I don't know but damn I wish I had gotten a beautiful creamy one and I could be raving about this product like everyone else.

In saying this, this product does have great longevity and it stays in place like no other so I continue to use this product in hope that I will eventually change my mind, I actually put a drop of face oil into the product to soften the product and found it a lot easier to work with so it's salvageable! I also find its great for applying in the upper and lower lash line and it stays in place even if my eyes water!

There are pro's and con's to this product, therefore a 3/5 and I do think that perhaps I got one from a bad batch because there is a heck of a lot of good feedback on this product... I'm holding out hope still guys!

Tips: Because my formula I found was very dry and clumpy, a small drop of face oil softened up the product and made it a lot easier to work with!

Amazing!

I have so much trouble getting eyeliner to stay on so was stoked when I found this. It is creamy to apply then dries and stays put until I wash it off! It takes a bit of practice to get lovely smooth even lines but once you have mastered it then it is quick and easy to appy. I can do a great wing with this. When it starts going dry and flakey then it is time to throw out.

Maybe I was using it wrong

I found this product dry and clumpy. It did not glide on and i had to literally dig the little brush into it to even get a line on my eye. Not very pigmented.

Tips: Tip is to maybe use a stiff brush that you dont mind potentialy freying by digging at it

Smudge Proof???

After reading all the great pros that Maybelline wrote about this product, I was super excited to try it. Unfortunately I had a very bad experience with it and wont be trying again. It lasted about 1-2 hours before smudging in my inner corner and giving me what seemed like a awful panda eye effect. I must say it was really easy to apply and looked great when I left the house, but it is not "24 hour smudge proof". I have really sensitive skin/eyes to some cosmetics but I was completely fine with this product, no irritation at all. Its a shame about the smudging because apart from that, it was great. But I rate my eyeliners on how long they last and if they stand up to wear for a whole shift at work and its a big thumbs down from me.
