Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner Review

This eyeliner is amazing! I have Blackest black and let me just say... It's black. This stuff is the darkest eyeliner I've ever had and surprisingly it actually makes my eyes look much browner in contrast. The little pot it comes in is convenient and tidy to use. I don't actually like the brush because it's a bit too big for me. I prefer precision and like to gradually build the line. So I use a slanted eyeliner brush instead. The consistency is not too thin that it has a nice gel texture but not too thick that it clumps. It stays on great despite my horribly oily eyelids but is so easy to clean off with my makeup remover wipes. (I use almays oil free wipes). I've always preferred eyeliner pens but thought I'd give this a try and I'm liking it! Sure, if I wanted precision then I'd still go for my trusty eyeliner pen but this is better for a dramatic, winged look.

I have always struggled to apply eyeliner. Can't draw a straight line, flicks don't match, do one eye too thick so have to redo the other one, end up with panda eyes and wash it all off. Every. Time. I was on the hunt for something different, and had never tried a gel eyeliner before. While at Farmers I picked up and put down multiple eyeliners before settling on this Maybelline one. I liked that it comes with a brush - seemed like good value for money. Before applying the product I applied an eye primer and then a light eyeshadow. I dipped the brush into the product and wiped off some of the excess, and started doing short strokes on my eyelid close to my lash line, and then did a flick at the end. The product glided on smoothly, and the brush was easy to use. I managed to get a pretty decent flick too - usually mine are all wonky! I then did my other eye, and finished up by going over the lines in places to ensure the colour was even. I then went out for 4 hours and came home with no smudges, no fading, AND I was a lazy bum and didn't take my make up off before bed (I know, I know) and obviously it smudged in my sleep but it hasn't faded much at all! I can honestly say this is the best eyeliner I have ever used, so easy to apply, great value for money, much better than a liquid eyeliner!

Really like how it looks on the eyes but the fact that the brush isn't on the lid really bothers me. I guess it is pretty hygienic though since you can clean the brush but it's also very hard for storage. This stuff is extremely hard to wash off and you have to use it with a light hand or it will create very fat lines!!

I tired this in brown, the color is wonderful with green eyes for day or night, its much darker then in the jar, you can layer it a lighter touch leaved a nice brown, another layer will make dark black brown, this product will not budge until you take it off.

The colour i use is 'Blackest Black' This colour is very strong and bold! It is very easy to apply on but it comes off quite fast, on average on my eyes i would say its lasts me about 5hrs before it starts coming off. The brush and gel last a long time as I have had mine for about a year and still have over half of the eyeliner left! You don't need to use much when applying it. I do like the product but I wish it would stay a bit longer on my eyes.

I've got this in both Black & Brown and this is the only gel liner I use. I have to work quick, because it dries quick. I haven't mastered a flick, but this eyeliner stays put all day. The black is a real dark black and the brown is just a nice subtle chocolate on me.

With all things, practice makes perfect so don't be daunted by this product when you first get it :)

I absolutely love maybelline eye studio gel eyeliner , it is so easy to use and a lot faster to apply In the morning !!! Unlike liquid eye liner it does not smudge, if u make a mistake it's easy to fix/wipe off, it's waterproof, I could go on its so easy to use !!

I love this product. Great value for money. I was put on to it by Make up guru Jaclyn Hill because she said that it was better than MAC's one and way cheaper. She was right. Just make sure you have a steady hand cos it doesn't budge very easily lol

This gel liner is definitely smudge-proof and waterproof. I haven't worn this product for 24 hours, but this definitely lasted 12 hours for me. I have cried and got rained on wearing this and the liner did not budge. If you rub your eyes in the said situation, obviously the product will move but if you carefully dab there's no problem at all. Very pigmented and creamy, not difficult to apply at all. The brush it comes with is not very useful, so I suggest using an angled eyeliner brush instead.

I love how opaque this eyeliner is and how easy it is to apply but also how long wearing I've found this eyeliner although I find my eye lidsget a bit oily so after a period of time I do have to touch up. The product is great for gel liner lids get but I do prefer liquid.
