Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner Review

I bought this on a whim when I saw it at Countdown a while ago thinking it would be fun to experiment with. I loved it almost straight away! Its smooth flowing, the brush means I can do thin and thick lines with ease and its so waterproof that no matter how much weather Wellington threw at my face, It didn't run!

It can take a little while to dry but once it does, its a satin finish with super impressive pigment.

I love a good winged eye. Apart from the fact that the brush can get clumpy easily (I find I have to clean it after every use) it is amazing. It can be great for a smoky eye because the gel formula can be smudged really easily, and also great for winged liner because you can get a precise line as thin or thick as you want.

Totally in love with this product. I have tried others and keep coming back to this one for its long lasting and easy application. I find that it glides on and doesn't drag no the skin like some. I think it dries quicker than other products meaning no mucking around. It is easy to adjust which lets face it is great at 6am!! Practice does make perfect however...and it is worth it! Would absolutely recommend.

This gel liner is great! I have tried many gel liners and this one has stood out the most to me so far. I've repurchased a few times now and i use it when I want to amp up a makeup look. It's very long wearing and it doesn't dry up if you use it often.

I am usually a liquid girl, but every now and then I go back to gel and this is always the one I go for! It's nice a small so easy to store (I even have double ups!) and it glides on so nicely! I like how this is build-able but is so pigmented on its own anyway. I have had both my pottles for the longest time and they never seem to go down! A little goes a long way with this product for sure!

I also have this is in brown and sometimes with a light hand use it for my eye brows- as a dupe for ABH Dip brow ;)

Yes! I love this gel liner! I think it glides on really easily and has a beautiful smooth texture, I have it in black and it is nice and dark. It lasts a really really long time, I've never needed to reapply.

It comes in a small wee pot but don't let this deceive you, it goes a really long way so the amount is plenty!

It comes with it's own eyeliner brush but I found it too thick so I use my own thin angled eyeliner brush.

The only real con I can think of is that it is water resistant and sticks on like nothing else so you need a good makeup remover and brush cleaner!

I love this product.

It is simple, even for someone like me. Easy to apply, makes your eyes pop when you have it on & lasts all day long.

My lids are quite oily and if I put any sort of product it tends to come off in the first half hour. This product lasted me from the morning to the end of the day

Very good product.

I was very disappointed in the this product after hearing so many good things about it. To begin with it would go on very patchy and it dried up very quickly for me despite always keeping it sealed tightly. I am yet to find my holy Grail eyeliner product. The idea of this product is great so I'm sure if mine hadn't dried out so fast i would have liked it.

I'm really torn with this particular product. It has so much potential, and that is exactly why I bought it to begin with. I needed more flexibility to draw my liner, and my liquid liner is a bit too thick for that.

It really is a beautiful black, and it does come with a good brush that allows you to do whatever you like. However that's where it ends.

Mine must've had a manufacture error? I doubt it because I've read plenty of other reviews that had the same issue.

It dries up VERY QUICKLY. And once that happens, we all know flaking comes next. It is really annoying because it's not like you left it open over night, it's literally the few minutes you have it open while using it.

I've learnt to blend it with a little bit of makeup remover so it goes on smoother (tiny bit of remover makes it less dry).

I wish and hope they fix it, because I doubt I would ever buy it again!
