Maybelline Gel Liner

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!

Tips: If gel is looking slightly dried up or cake like in the pot, seal it in a snaplock/glad bag (make sure the lid is on the liner tight!) and submerge the bag in hot water for 10-15 minutes, when you remove the product should be softer and will last for a couple months until you need to repeat this process.

Good, but not overly great

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.

Tips: I do the liner with eyeshadow first, then put the gel over top once I've got the line drawn it. I'm far too uncoordinated to do it in gel straight off the bat!

Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner

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.

LOVE THIS.

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.

Tips: I find this really, really seals in my eyeliner in my waterline.

great after practice

i really do like this product , it lasts but the thing is you need heaps of practice when you want to put it on your top eyelid. its smooth when you get the hang of it though, overall i find the gel eyeliner great :)

Doesn't last long

I had such high expectations for this product and to start of with it was quite good. The brush that comes with it is a bit average, but the product wasn't too bad. It did crack and dry out a bit towards the end of the day but nothing horrendous. However it only lasted for about 2 months before it totally dried out in the little pot which is so annoying! I wouldn't buy this again.

Better than more expensive brands

I have had MAC fluidline and Cliniques gel liner and this product beats both of those in terms of application, wear and long lasting-ness in the jar (both of the higher end ones are prone to drying out very quickly). I have this in brown and black and they are both excellent quality cream liners and great shadow bases for smoky eye looks. The application brush is also very good. A great product for the money.

Tips: Dishwashing liquid is the best way of cleaning the little brush which comes with this product.

LOVE it

I really loved this product because the texture was firm enough but gave a finished smooth look. I prefer gel eyeliner to other eyeliners because you can get a nice straight line and i feel like it is easier to fix up if you make a mistake, maybe its the brush over pencil but Maybelline has done a fantastic job with this one ! stays on for a while too !

Tips: I prefer to use a brush of my own than the one that comes with the product.

A little dissapoiting

I got mine around Christmas last year when I was a gel eyeliner novice. By the time I had mastered liquid liner and decided to return back to my gel liner...it had dried up... Maybe it would have been a good product when it was brand new, we will never know. But 5 or 6 months is a little fast for my liking.

Tips: Because it is useless as a liner and I still want to get my moneys worth, I now use it like a colour tattoo. Its not too black so I use it as a base for when I want to do a smokey eye and this works a charm. It looks gorgeous with a sparkly red or purple over the top as well.

Gel Eyeliner

I am not savvy at doing my make up and putting on eyeliner is one of those things I am really bad at. Liquid eyeliners are just so hard to control and pencils are just too thick. Now, this gel eyeliner is great. The tint of black is just right. The brush that it came with makes application really easy and it can do wing tip if I want to. Love the matte finish. The only issue I found is that it is easy to get smudged especially at the end of the day and it can fade.

Tips: always make sure to cap the pottle to avoid drying out.
