Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner Review

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.

I bought this yonks ago and I must say, while it's far better than a pencil if you want it to last a lot longer, but for me - after a couple of hours, it starts to run.

I've only used the black so haven't managed to get around to any other colours yet, but maybe because the one I'm using is so old, the formula has changed.

I'm a big fan of winged liner some days and a smokey grunge liner other days so this liner is a great dual purpose. Easy to blend out to a smudged effect but will stay put once left for 45 seconds or so to dry and can also create a perfect clean black line for a sexy feline winged eye. I struggle with gel liners sometimes due to how quickly they fry out but when you know how to remedy this you're up and away :-) It's gentle on skin (my eyes usually burn when I apply liquid liner but not when I use this gel) all around a great product!

Until I tried this gel eyeliner I was shockingly bad at applying eye liner! I really love this style of eyeliner and the brush makes it easy to get that desired winged look. This little pottle has lasted me really well.

I bought this eyeliner after seeing various makeup gurus online talking about how good it is. Having mastered the liquid eyeliner but never having tried a gel I was interested to see how it would go.

It's super easy to use, I got the perfect cat eye first pop (very rare as you all know!) It glided on nicely with the little brush that's provided, and I've used it with other angled brushes etc and it works well with them too.

I find that it does smudge if I don't let it dry (I always, always blink too soon!) and that after a day of wearing it, it has smudged on my lids and transferred to above my crease in some cases. I'm sure this could be remedied with a good eye primer, and I really must invest in one of those.

Love this stuff I think it is totally great! I find gel liner is way easier to get off than liquid if you make a mistake! I'm so bad when it comes to doing eyeliner but this was nice and easy!! Could be a great product for somebody just getting into lining the top lash line.

This is good liner,but I found it hard to work with. I have used MAC fluidline and Smasbox cream liner, and I love them both.This product dries out fast, and the brush doesn't do it for me.

This eyeliner is okay, it's affordable and usable.

The brush I find is not angled enough. A cheap angled brush from The Warehouse worked better for me.

I also found that it dries out really quickly, within the span of the month, it became unusable in conditions where the lid was on and in a dark cool place.

When I first bought this I loved it. It comes with a really nice professional quality brush thats really easy to use to get a nice line. the lasting power of the eyeliner itself was pretty good. However as it gets older, I am finding the consistency changing a bit which is strange. On warmer/hot days, I would not wear this again as it transfers like crazy onto your upper eyelids which is not a good look.

I think i will use this again because its not empty yet... but probably wouldn't repurchase.
