    It takes some time to perfect your line, but once you do this liner is awesome. It's dark dark black and the applicator is so easy to use!

    Started using gel eyeliner a few months ago because I didn't like the look of pencil and liquid line looked too harsh for daytime eye make-up. I didn't want to spend too much on a product I was just trying out because I didn't want to waste my money on something I would end up hating.

    I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner, the tiny tub of black has lasted me over 4 months now and it hasn't dried out or started to flake on my eyes. The results I am able to get with the gel and the brush are great - I can create subtle lines or more dramatic looks depending on the day and I never have to worry about it smudging or melting off.

    In my opinion this product can compete with some of the higher priced brands like MAC (which I tried recently) so I'm happy to find it at drug stores for less than $15.

    I will keep this review short and sweet.

    HOMG. These are the bomb. These are the first gel liners that I have tried and I am liking them to death! They are so smooth to apply on and a little but goes a long way. They even come with their own brushes! =] The colors they came in are Blackest Black, Charcoal ( black with a hint of shimmer ), Brown and Eggplant.

    They claim to be SMUDGE PROOF, but based on my experience, they arent. Well maybe its because I dont set it with eyeshadow. I would probably try the gel liner and setting it with eyeshadow one of these days and see if they smudge or not. The smudge itself is minimal, so no biggie for me. Also, they claim to be WATERPROOF, but again, they’re NOT. One wash and almost all the makeup is gone.

    But even though its not smudgeproof or waterproof, I still genuinely love it! I now wear this everyday when I go out and since its not waterproof, I dont have to scratch my eyes out to get the makeup off. Also, it does not irritate my eyes! Another like! =]

    Would I repurchase? YES YES YES. Loveeee it! My favorites are the Blackest Black during the day and Charcoal during the night.

    I have used liquid eyeliners for as long as I can remember, so when I heard that Maybelline was coming out with a gel liner I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. It comes in a small glass jar with a brush. If you're not one to use liquid eye liners don't let this deter you. It's very easy to apply. You just dab the tip of your brush into the gel and make small strokes gliding along the lash line, it's not as messy as liquid liners. The colour is intense and easy to alter, depending on whether you like it smoky or crisp. The only problem I have with this product is that it does smudge a bit; the colour of the liner tends to come off at the top of my lid, guess it happens when I look up. Trying to find a solution for that because it's a good product and I don't want to stop using it.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this product! I thought the brush that came with it might have been crap but if you keep it clean it really lasts and works well, The product itself goes on very smoothly, doesn't smudge and lasted quite a while. The container didnt dry out either which was another worry that I had. Overall I was very impressed and will buy this again!

    I really enjoy using this eyeliner. It glides on easily. Melts with your body heat so it's a very smooth application that is simple to use. The brush is soft and great for getting in the corners I even use it to get a nice cat tip. I really enjoy this product I just wish that it was a lil more smudge proof. Other than that I love it and would recommend it.

    I was on a hunt for a new eye liner and i wanted a gel or cream liner but at a cheap price. I came across this product and decided i`d try it cuz for one i love maybelline products and i wanted to try my hand at gel liners...
    The first thing i notice when i purchased this product, is when i opened it, i noticed it didn`t have a strong odor, infact i couldn`t really smell it. Unless u count stickin my nose in the lil jar and even that was faint, which was a plus!!!
    Secondly i noticed it eye liner brush has stiff but soft bristles, which was perfect for pression application!!!
    Third, when i applied the product it went one nice and creamy and smooth which made it easy to apply and fast!!
    It really did have a lasting look, infact it still was in place at the end of the day and it never smudged on me!
    Overall, i never had a problem with this product infact i will use it again!
