I love it!
I have been using it for along time and I stilk love it. I have two colors, Eggplant and Sapphire. I would recommend to anyone. It goes on so easily and comes off easily. I used to have problems with my eyeliner running and by the end of the day I would end up looking like a raccoon. I have never had a problem with this stuff.
vivid color 24hr stay :)
This product seemed to go on very smoother when i first got it. I loved the color and the fact that it showed up so nicely on my skin. If your looking for vivid color this product is for you. Also it is quite waterproof meaning it is hard to remove with just water for i had to use makeup removing formulas to do the trick
Stays
I love my liquid e/l but they have a tendency to smudge a bit on me. I remember trying this a couple years ago, and it was bad. But then again, I didn't have my MAC Paint Pot/Maybelline Color Tattoos. A deep plummy violet colour with subtle shimmer that is absolutely gorgeous. Stays on my lid for the entire day with ZERO smudging.
Alright product, but mostly disappointing
I purchased all these colors at once but I was most excited to have the eggplant colored gel liner, but I felt it fell short. Not only is the brush supplied with said product awful, the product itself is dry and doesn't apply well, regardless of the brush. The product looked beautiful and creamy in the advertisement, which it is not. I would not purchase Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner again, as far as purchasing another drugstore gel liner, I recommend the Physicians Formula Gel liner. I have the one for green eyes, though underrated, it's a much better product.
Amazing
I got this to see if I would like gel eye liners in general, and then my plan was to splurge on MAC or Bobbi Brown ones. However, I find that I love this liner so much, that I don't feel the need to splurge! This is perfect, and the formula is one of the longest lasting eye liners I have ever found. It doesn't smudge and is perfect for creating that winged effect on your eyes!
Wrong color choice, my mistake.
I don't know what made me choose this color but I chose it, applied it, and wasn't impressed. Being that it was my 1st time buying gel liner, I had certain expectations that weren't met. I thought it was going to just glide along my lash line but it didn't. When applying it, it skipped/cracked and I was just left with a mess (I have a steady hand so I don't think it was me lol). I ended up just smoothing it out over my whole eyelid as a shadow.
Had high hopes, very disappointed.
I bought this eyeliner in shade eggplant. I had been looking for a good, deep purple gel liner for a long time to just put on when I felt like having a lazy day with makeup. Well, this wasn't it. I had high hopes for this product, seeing as many other people had raved about it-I basically wasted my money. First off, the pigmentation was horrible, not even close to being as dark as the swatch of it on the packaging. Secondly, it had a ton of silvery/purple sparkles in it, I was looking for a matte dark purple eyeliner. And third, the formula left much to be desired, I tried to apply the product to my eyelid, and the line came out very splotchy and uneven. And the color barely even showed up. Also, the eyeliner was quite thick and somewhat hard when I tried to get it out of the pot and onto the brush that was included with it. The only plus I have about it, is that it lives up to its longwear/waterproof claim, when I tried to take it off with a little bit of soap and water, it wouldn't budge. Honestly, I'd save my money and splurge on a higher end brand of gel eyeliner than wasting 10$ on this lackluster immitation.
decent for a drugstore brand..
this was the first gel or cream type eyeliner i ever bought, and i really liked using it when i first got it! the color and texture were both pretty good when i bought it. after a while, it started drying out pretty quickly, and the brush that it came with started wearing out and kind of fanning out at the tip (this was before i had bought my own eyeliner brush).
it was a good beginner's eyeliner to use, but now i would spend an extra $5 (because this eyeliner was about $10) to buy MAC fluidline, which has a much nicer texture.
