Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner, Black

I've been trying to master the perfect 'flicks' for ages but I just hadn't found the right tools to do so. I think that this just might be my new secret weapon! The brush is great. It really helps to achieve a thin line and makes applying the eyeliner a lot easier than with other products I've tried. The brush is double-ended. The other end, which I probably won't use, is more of a sponge-type brush which I imagine would be useful if you want to smudge the liner to create a smokey-eyed effect. The eyeliner itself takes a few minutes to dry but once it has dried it really seems to stay put. I've had it on for 6 hours and the deep black colour hasn't faded at all. Also the eyeliner hasn't transfered or smudged which is amazing! As noted in other reviews, the eyeliner pot is very small, but you only need a tiny amount so it should still last for ages. I've tried many different eyeliners from both cheap and more expensive brands and this is by far the best. I can't fault it. What a find and such a good price too!

Beware of how long this stays in your makeup bag- a little goes a long way but it doesn't last as long as the amount in the pot if that makes any sense? Both the brush and the consistency of the product become more and more difficult to work with after about 6 months (at this point it is wise to replace both anyway for hygeine reasons) but other than that, I can not at all fault this product, my go to for three years now. The brush to start with is ultra fine and precise, the liner is jet black and ultra smooth/easy to work with. I use this for sharp feline flicks and cat eyes, or big black dramatic looks (set with black eyeshadow, it stays all day and night) it's great for festivals, one day at a festival I had to keep dousing my head under the drinking tap to stay cool- eyeliner stayed mostly completely untouched and intact. It really is rather good. You may want to use a larger brush for applying to a larger space on your eye. You know it needs replacing for sure when it starts becoming less black and harder to work with/not lasting as long. Buy it, it's the best I ever used and I've been doing 'bat eyes' since I was 12

I have used a pencil liner for years, what have I been missing out on this product is fantastic I’m a lady well into her fifties but still like to look good and apply markup daily, this liner comes with a application brush which is very precise the gel liner itself comes in a small pot but don’t be put off a little goes a very long way and when applying it you don’t get that drag on your eyelid like you do with a pencil which is brilliant for protecting delicate skin I tend to use it through the day on the very edge of my lash line to give the allusion of fuller lashes but it can be used as a thicker line for a more dramatic look, it’s got a brilliant longevity once applied I didn’t need to reapply at all and it was easy to remove with eye makeup remover that’s a whole other review lol overall I would highly recommend and give it five stars.

This is a really nice eyeliner. You get lots in the pot, it's REALLY highly pigmented for a proper opaque black, it wears relatively well (though not waterproof), it dries velvet matte (I was sick of shiny liquid eyeliner), and is easily removed with an oil cleanser or micellar water. It takes a bit of getting used to if you're used to felt tip liners. I'd say that the brush that comes with it is very average – it feels entirely the wrong shape for an eyeliner brush and can leave the product a bit smudgy and the lines uneven. You're better off using a small angled eyebrow brush (a cheap one will do, it's just about the shape). Dip it in the product, apply it to the back of your hand, and then drag both sides of the brush down in it to give you a sharp point. It makes it a lot easier to get crisp pigmented lines and to draw wings with what is a really great gel liner formula.

Perfect 👏❤️🌹

This has been my go to eyeliner for years, I have watery eyes and this takes a lot to smudge. It’s great for thick liner and wings and love the dual brush and eyeshadow style brush. It lasts me ages, dries fast and is easy to put on.

I've had this a while and it's my go-to I use this all the time. The brush makes it easy to apply and still hasn't dried out on me like others have in the past. It's lasted ages so well worth the money. It's nice and thick just like me so you know you don't need much. Had no eye irritation and the texture is amazing. Smooth as anything brilliant eyeliner

Didn't find this eye liner easy to apply so ended up using it to do halloween make up which it worked well for! Smudges as an eyeliner if eyes water in any way. Bargain price though and much easier than using face paints. Made one child a zombie and one day of the dead.
