Maybelline Gel Eyeliner

Eye Studio® Lasting Drama™ Gel Eyeliner - Pack Shot



Maybelline EyeStudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner
$7 @ most drug stores

I can't get enough of this product! I absolutely love it! I've used it almost every single day since I bought it. I have it in the color Blackest Black 950. But they also have 3 other pretty shades in: Brown 952, Charcoal 954, and Eggplant 956. 

Product Details: 
• Oil-free formula holds highly concentrated pigments in a clear gel base
• Smudge-proof and waterwproof for 24 hours
• Most intense line for lasting drama                                                  
• Safe for sensitive eyes and ophthalmologist-tested
• Contact lens safe


Rave:
  • Easy to apply
  • Smooth & creamy
  • Long lasting
  • Minimal smudging
  • Extremely pigmented
  • A little goes a long way
Rant:
  • Brush included is thick
  • Smudging after 6+ hours
  • Transfer - You get a black line in the middle of your eye after a few hours of wear

I was skeptical when I first bought this product because I had never used a gel eyeliner before.. And I was worried that it'd be hard to use and apply. But after a few tries I got the hang of it! Now it only takes seconds to apply. I don't recommend using the brush that they provide, it's really thick and creates a thick line. But I suggest you try it out first to see if you like it. I bought the E.L.F Angled Eyeliner Brush for $3! And it works amazingly well. [Review soon]


I like to put this on top of eyeshadow, I find that there's less transfer and smudging that way and it lasts longer. But if you're not going to wear any eyeshadow I suggest that you apply a tiny bit of primer and some of your face powder and then apply the eyeliner.
I personally prefer this over liquid liners because I don't really like the shiney finish they have, this one leaves a nice matte finish that lasts all day! And this product will last you a really long time because you only need a very small amount when applying! I am definitely going to be repurchasing this product or a similar one when I'm done! I hope this review was helpful! :)
