Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner Review

This Eye Studio eyeliner comes in a glass round base clear little jar and a sleek black plastic lid. And the best thing is it comes with an eyeliner brush. The bristles are soft and densely packed. I find the brush is very easy to control, I could go as thin and as thick as I want. I have achieved very sharp precise wing liners with this brush. I just have to make sure I wipe it after every use and wash it once in every 2 weeks.

In terms of texture – the product feels smooth, it glides on smoothly. The formula of this eyeliner is rich, creamy and smooth, it glides across the lids easily. It is very pigmented, I only need 2 layers to achieve a dark opaque liners. I find the liners set and dry down quickly, and still looks opaque after being dried. Once I get used to it, the application becomes easier and much faster too.

There is no scent in this gel eyeliner product and it has never irritated my eyes before. I've never had a problem with the gel drying out as I always close the lid very tightly.

This gel eyeliner is also smudge-proof and water-proof. Once it is on, it stays on really well, does not transfer or smudge. It lasts for up to 10 hours on my lids even though I have oily eyelids. I was really impressed by the longevity of the gel eyeliner. Overall, this is an excellent gel eyeliner. I would definitely repurchase this gel eyeliner and would recommend this to everyone. It is affordable, easy to use, and long lasting.

This eyeliner is so good and easy to apply. I love the brush but i usually can only apply a semi thick to thick line and if you have other makeup brushes that are thinner then its good and you can do thinner lines! The price is not that high and its really black and stays on all night. This is one of mmy go to liners as liquid ones dont work! I also love how its see through so when you are running out you can re purchase.

It's hard for me to find eyeliners (gel / cream / crayon) that work well for my hooded oily lids. I'm happy to say that I really love this product and it's almost as good if not just as good as my ultimate favourite Jane Iredale Jelly Jar Gel Liner.

I have the shade Blackest Black which I bought from Beauty Bliss for $20.00 - a bit steep some may say but if you think about high end ones like Jane Iredale you're looking at $40 so I'm not complaining about the price point. Admittedly I didn't have high expectations for this but was surprised to find that the gel goes on a lovely inky black and dries down to a semi matte black without losing the lovely rich colour.

It applies on smoothly and gives you enough time to correct mistakes before setting. I really love that the product moves wherever my brush directs it to move so I'm not left trying to drag and tug at it my already droopy eyes! The product is waterproof and smudge proof and I often find it difficult to remove if I'm not using (the best ever) my Neutrogena Oil Free Eye Makeup remover.

My only small con with this product is that there is still some transfer. With hooded lids the excess skin loves to hide all my artwork (i.e. often failed attempt at smokey or halo eyeshadow) and it tends to touch my gel liner. This product leaves a very faint mark just above my crease - which in comparison to other eyeliners I've used, is nothing. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable gel liner with fantastic colour payoff that doesn't dull or move once in place.

This is an awesome gel liner. It is FAR blacker than blacktrax by mac and far easier to use. It is a nice consistency and lasts for ages. I prefer this over the other gel liners I have tried including blacktrax and stilla smudgepot

Pros: Long lastting Water proof Smudge proof Easy to apply

Cons: Sometimes look too sharp in black.

I've just started using this liner and I am in love with it. So easy to use, is nice and pigmented and very black. I use it mainly with my Sigma E65 brush (small angle brush) and it makes doing wings so easy. And it doesn't budge once dry, or flake or do any of that other horrible stuff some products do! I have oily lids (sounds gross) where if Something is going to smudge or crease it will! I gave it the ultimate test the other day, muggy hot weather at a carnival! I came home and my wing liner was perfect! Very impressed!

I really loved this product because the texture was firm enough but gave a finished smooth look. I prefer gel eyeliner to other eyeliners because you can get a nice straight line and i feel like it is easier to fix up if you make a mistake, maybe its the brush over pencil but Maybelline has done a fantastic job with this one ! stays on for a while too !

i really do like this product , it lasts but the thing is you need heaps of practice when you want to put it on your top eyelid. its smooth when you get the hang of it though, overall i find the gel eyeliner great :)

I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this.

It is really well pigmented and silky. It does tend to dry a little but you can warm it in the microwave for a few seconds to get it back to a nice gel feeling.

It is super, super black and applies easily and DOESN'T smudge.

This stuff is amazing!! It doesnt smudge, applies really well, and last a long time without having to re-apply. I prefer this than pencil or liquid liner.
