Reasonably priced

Maybeline gel eyelines is my first gel eyeliner product. I didn't want to splurge on expensive products to try it for the first time. Oh dear, was I impressed, I loved it. Since then I have turned back to liquid liners. I own 3 colors in Maybeline gel liner range and I use it everyday. Its easy to apply with the brush it comes. Only thing about this product is it doesn't last long as the products suggests 24 hours wear. I use it to work everyday and by evening the line is lighter or almost gone. Need to reapply if you are heading out in the eve.

Tips: If you are not good with defining a line, apply the liner with the brush and smudge it lightly. It will give a good smokey effect.

Maybelline Gel Eyeliner

This is a cheaper version of MACS black track gel liner for those who cant afford the hefty price tag which comes with any MAC product.

What I love about Maybelline is how accessible their products are they can be found at your local pharmacy and Farmers stores. I always wear black as black eyeliner, and gel liner is no acception to this rule.

This provided great colour density, it remained on my eyelid all day long. Gel liner can be used for day time and dramatic evening lines. I find gel eyeliners slightly trickier to apply as the brush that comes with them is never ideal.

I only use Gel eyeliner for the top of my lids due to the tendacy to smudge much easier. Heat causes gel to react and you can end up with a panda eye by the end of the day. For lower waterline I find khol pencils to be a safer option.

Would definitely re purchase again, well worth the price tag and there's always offers on Maybelline products.

Tips: Used an angled brush to apply along your lower lash line. Use small short strokes to achieve an even application.

Sometimes wetting your brush helps to achieve smoother application, leading to a more precise defined eye.

prep and prime your eyes to ensure no smudging occurs.

Not 100% happy!

I bought this because my liquid eyeliner had run out and well to be completely honest it was a slight let down! I bought the charcoal because I was after a slightly less harsher look, but honestly I wish I'd bought the black! The charcoal is extremely grey. Im finding the brush quite hard to use, but I guess with more practice it'll get better :)

I do love this just could be better :)

I do love applying this Gel and it looks fabulous when it's first on, but for some reason it transfers to above my crease every time! Not sure if it is something that I'm doing wrong, but I'd love to know if you guys have any ideas to fix this! Apart from that I really do like using it!

Does the job!

I recently decided to try gel liner again after purchasing some from a different brand and absolutely hated it. So far the product is a little so so in my opinion. I like that it glides on easy and doesn't pull at the eye but because of my hooded eyes it does transfer to my top lids which I find if I don't stick around home and wait for that to happen so I can remove it, that the line just stays on my top lid all day. I am currently in the process of trying different primers and setting the liner itself with a black eyeshadow and have found that nothing really stops it from smudging and transferring. This is a product I really want to love so I hope that with time and with a little more practice I will learn how to make this product work the best

LOVE

Good product! Love the brush it comes with, obviosuly a professional makeup brush works better but for the money being paid.

I was nervous about using this as it seemed for difficult than a regular liquid eyeliner. But.. such easy application! If it was smudged easy to come off. Stayed throughout the day!

Does tend to smudge a bit, and the brush shape does make it hard to do thin discrete lines. Better for building a bold cat-eye look.

Overall: Good product, love the dense black.

Tips: Wet the tip before application. Allows for a smoother easier glide and a more cut line.

One dramatic eyeliner!

This eyeliner I found really good for night wear if you want something dramatic. Personally I prefer a pen as it is easier to use and provides a finer line. This produces a thicker line but you do have more freedom and it definitely lasts a long time!

Tips: Make sure you wash the brush as it gets clogged up and you only need a small amount and it will go a long way!

Lasts forever! On the eyes and in the pot

Veyr pigmented and long lasting. Best gel liner I've tried yet! I prefer it over liquid liners because there is much more control and room for error. My favourite brushes to use with it are small angled liner brushes, but it works great with pointed brushes too!

Tips: If yours does dry out a bit, pop it in the microwave for about 10 seconds and it should be a lot smoother!

My go-to Gel liner

I own this product in Black. I suffer from oily lids, so it's important that any eyeliner I put on will stay put. This does just that - it stays on through everything. It's smooth and creamy to apply. The brush that comes with it is alright - not the best for gel eyeliner, but it's not so low quality that it falls apart when washed.

Tips: Use a thin or angled eyeliner brush for the perfect wing with this product.

Great liner - I found it hard to use

I've always been a liner girl but thought I would try a gel liner as I had heard so much. This I really black which is great but I feel it looks a bit harsh on me. It is also something that you have to practise with. I found it hard to apply evenly. Again it's not the products fault but operator error. I think I'm just safer with a pencil.
