Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner Review

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!

This is a really good gel liner, no doubt about it.

I have the black version, and it glides on easily and gives an opaque semi-matte finish. The brush that comes with it is actually pretty good as well: quite dense, and you can get a nice defined line with it. I don't really wear winged liner that often, but on the occasions when I do this liner works great.

I find this much, much easier to control and use than any liquid liner I've used (although I haven't tried that many liquid ones so I'm sure that there are some great ones out there!), and I really like the finish of it as compared to the often quite glossy finish of many liquid liners. That's really just a personal preference thing though. :)

The only thing that I dislike about this product is the fact that it fades a bit through the day, especially near the inner corners of my eyes. My eyes do tend to water a little bit, and unfortunately this just disappears when that happens. No smudging or flaking, though, just the fading.

So overall I do really like this (especially for the price) and I can see myself repurchasing if/when I run out or it dries up. :)

I am not savvy at doing my make up and putting on eyeliner is one of those things I am really bad at. Liquid eyeliners are just so hard to control and pencils are just too thick. Now, this gel eyeliner is great. The tint of black is just right. The brush that it came with makes application really easy and it can do wing tip if I want to. Love the matte finish. The only issue I found is that it is easy to get smudged especially at the end of the day and it can fade.

I got mine around Christmas last year when I was a gel eyeliner novice. By the time I had mastered liquid liner and decided to return back to my gel liner...it had dried up... Maybe it would have been a good product when it was brand new, we will never know. But 5 or 6 months is a little fast for my liking.

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 had such high expectations for this product and to start of with it was quite good. The brush that comes with it is a bit average, but the product wasn't too bad. It did crack and dry out a bit towards the end of the day but nothing horrendous. However it only lasted for about 2 months before it totally dried out in the little pot which is so annoying! I wouldn't buy this again.

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 :)
