Good

This is a good gel eyeliner. The texture is creamy, so it glides on easily. I've used the charcoal colour for a less dramatic look (as I am quite pale), and it looks really good. The brush works quite well. The fact that it is flat means you can turn it on its side for a skinny line, or have it flat for a thick line. It's brilliant that the brush is included - great for people that don't own an eyeliner brush.

Tips: Practice makes perfect! Even though this is a great an affordable product, you still can't expect to be amazing at applying it. Work on keeping a steady hand, and play around with eyeliner styles that suit your eye shape.

I wanted to like it a lot more than I actually did

I persevered with this one but I just couldn't get excited about it.

I found it difficult to apply, potentially due to the brush supplied, and once on it seemed to smudge very easily. Perhaps I would have a better experience with a different brush, but it just seemed a little too hard for me to get used to.

As a disclaimer though, I have been wearing liquid non-stop for years and this has been my first and only experience with a gel formula.

classic eyeliner- must have

I have used 3 black jars and 2 brown-black ones. This is the eyeliner that changes my perspectives on gel liner. It's smooth and can create various effects: natural, dramatic or edgy. It's my everyday liner. Pros: - good price at great quantity and quality (believe me you would never use it up unless you are a professional) - long lasting - comes with a brush

Cons: - it's not totally water-proof in my opinion, may not last all day long if you have oily skin - the brush is not easy to use for beginners, I think the producers should provide an angled brush instead

Tips: remember to close the lid carefully or the gel may get dry fast. But if the liner gets dry, mix it up with a little vaseline (just a little)

AWESOME

I recently got this gel liner after hearing so many good things about it!! I have needed to invest in something that will provide long lasting colour. Hate it when eyeliner fades after only a coupe of hours wear, especially on nights out. I really liked how this came with the eyeliner brush too (although I usually use another brush). It's super soft, and so easy to apply:) The price is pretty good too, the pot lasts for ages.

Staying Power Gel

I recently purchased the Maybelline Studio Eye Gel as I was after a good eyeliner that would actually stay in the waterline of my eyes. I have now used this on quite a few occasions and it certainly stays put. The colour is quite dark so I generally use it in the evening. I found it easy to remove and did not irritate my eyes as many eyeliners do.

Tips: When applying to waterline, for a clean line dip a sharp dark eyeliner in gel then apply gently to waterline for a perfect line. For extra long lasting power especially on waterline dab black eye shadow on top of gel with a small brush.

Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner

With this i find that practice makes perfect, I absolutely freaking love this stuff. I've been searching far and wide for an eyeliner, gel or otherwise, to create a winged eye look that lasts all day and is easy to use, and I bought this stuff on a whim and I'm in love. I literally have nothing bad to say about this. The brush is pretty good too.

Love yet dislike at the same time

Like the title says I kind of have a love hate relationship with this product. The brush it comes with isn't quite thin enough to do thin lines so I only use this eyeliner when I want a very bold look like a Cats Eye. I have blackest black which is really great for evening and darker looks. I do like using it as it is a lot easier to use than eye pencils. However it does dry out quite easy which can make it hard to put on. It also runs quite easily so I wouldn't use it during hot weather. That said it is also really hard to get it off if you can't afford the good eye make up remover. I don't actually know why I like using this product but there is just something about it that I love.

Tips: Go over your lines with a bit of powder to set it or line with pencil liner first. (like when you use lip liner to stop lipstick from running).

This product made me not like gel liners

I dont really like gel liners from using this product, it can easily be smudged! (when you want it to stay in place) then the likes of a liquid eyeliner! The brush that comes with this is below average as well, its too big to be able to get a thin liner, mine has dried up so much i cant use it anymore! :(

Tips: If you dont like this, try the master precision liner from Maybelline

Good for beginners

I bought this as it was on offer, and though it would be good for trying cat-eye eyeliner for the first time. When i bought it I wish I bought a new brush as well - the one that comes with it is really awkwardly shaped to try and get a thin sharp line. It was good for my first few attempts - its easily removed with a make up wipe. It's definitely something I'm looking to replace asap.

Tips: Keep the lid on as much as you can, and keep the brush as clean as possible

I wanted to love it!

Honestly, I am ho-hum about this. I wanted to love it as its actually not a bad price for the amount of product ...but I just found it to dry out really quickly (even though I was vigilant in popping the lid back on) and become quite difficult to use. The brush that comes with it is pretty awful - very hard to create a thin line with it. It smudges and transfers to the top of my lid. Sigh.

Tips: Use your own brush. Replace lid immediately once finished using to prevent product from drying out.
