Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner Review

The formula of the liner was slightly clumpy and the colour wasn't very dark. Therefore I found it slightly overpriced

Love this eyeliner! great formula and doesn't budge at all. Easy to create thick and thin lines with the provided brush, and even fairly easy to create a sharp wing. great colour payoff also.

When you think of a gel eyeliner , you think long lasting which it is. What it also is , is very dry and clumpy. It is not worth the hassle of getting it to work. For that price I am not impressed.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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
