I have seen a few of these gel eyeliners on the market so thought I would give it a go to see what it’s all about. I chose the Maybelline version because there was a special offer on when I bought the Express Volume Cat Eyes mascara.
The pot itself is quite small but a little goes a long way. It comes with a brush for the application, it is tapered at the end so that you can apply a small amount or angle it differently to get a thicker line. Ideally it would come with a thinner brush so that it can be built up – but this brush is a good midway option and also good for the bold looks there are at the moment
I am not sure why it is called a gel, it has more of a cream texture rather than a gel (a gel makes me think that this would be a light eyeliner but that is not the case as it produces a strong look)
It is very easy to apply – infact a bit too easy that you could over apply! But it definitely is a good tool to get more creative with your eyeliner! I have always used liquid eyeliners in the past but I think for me that it will now be replaced with this one – thumbs up.
I love this but think a thinner brush would be so much easier. I cant go out the house without eyeliner on but like it to be subtle! I end up with quite a thick line most days as I get too eager and forget how easy it is too apply. Still love it though xx

I always put on too much! ends up looking like black eyeshadow!
DeleteHello, what does the liner wear like, does it have good staying power? i was planning to give the new loreal one a go.
ReplyDeleteGreat staying power!I have not tried the Loreal one so cant compare but this one is really good, I was not expecting to like it but I do!
DeleteOh cool, think i'm finally convinced to try it out. x
Deletei use maybelline gel liner and LOVE it! i've been converted from pencils...no looking back. the pot is small, but i've had mine for a while and i use it every day.

I wear this when I want something to last all day or all night. It has great staying power but I prefer liquid as Its more defining and I find it has better colour pay off. I've had my pot since it first came out and I'm not even close to denting it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review I wanted to buy that eyeliner since ages.
ReplyDeleteI really like this liner too! I agree the brush is a bit too thick so I always end up with a really thick line... now just use a different brush :) x

great post ive been dying to try this. I like these liners for a messier look, they are great to blend upwards from the lash line.

I havent tried a gel eyeliner yet but I probably check out this one next. I just use liquid at the time because I think its faster -but of course cream liner gives a different look.. so I will try it! (great blog! I love make up soooo much!!)
ReplyDeleteWow, looks great and affordable! I have so much trouble getting a good line. Any suggestions for getting a nice, clean line? Thanks again for the comment!
