Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner Black Review

My Experience: My first Maybelline drama gel was their Swirl gel eyeliner in black and silver, Ahh what an absolute beauty!!! that was to look at, with swirls of black and silver. But then , I used the black gel part and realized that the rest of the black was not coming up as a pure black on my brush as some particles of silver were always use to get mixed, no matter how carefully I dip in brush. So, what I did I scoop out the silver with a brush from wherever I could and kept it in a small clean eye shadow case to use it like a silver eye shadow base. Now, the rest of the product in the pot I mixed the entire silver and black thing thoroughly and now, I can use it as a beautiful eyeliner with proper amount of silver that looks like Avon Glimmerstick. I did it just as per my requirements; You do that, if you think the swirls are messing up the black giving patchiness.

These Maybelline gel eyeliners come in a heavy glass pot that looks like a kajal ka dabba.   :D I loveeee the pot a lot, It looks so  cute and can fit anywhere.

Maybelline Gel Eye Liner comes in a black outer packaging and some of my friends like to keep theirs in that packaging only. Apart from the pot, It comes along with an excellent gel eyeliner brush that can deliver thin, precise lines easily and trust me so far it hasn’t shed even a single strand. When you will look at it first you will think, the quantity is less, I thought the same but while using I realized that it will actually last long as a little amount is enough to draw. Credit goes to its superbly pigmented gel formula that glides so smoothly that there will not be any tugging or pulling. Loved it’s consistency and pigmentation!!feels like you are applying semi molten butter in the color black.

It takes some time to get set, just like most of the other pencils and liquid liners and when it does, it becomes smudge proof and waterproof. I have splashed water on my face too and it won’t budge off!!

Market is flooded with liners that are very pigmented and jet black but it’s smudge proof and rub proof formula makes it stand out of the crowd. This is one such product, which is my HG of eyeliners and also the product without which I can’t live without.

I have heard that the gel eyeliners gets dry after some time or if regularly kept open for a longer time, but honestly, I have not faced anything like that, still I will advice to keep it close once you dipped in your brush.

Now, with frequent usage the brush can get a little harder, which is not an issue as after using it after a couple of time or whenever required, I just shake my Maybelline Bi-Phased MakeupRemover, pour a drop into my palm and then dip my brush for 5 seconds and then gentle rub it to and fro and in a swirling notion as well, to clean it thoroughly.

These were the things that I do to save my favorite product and the little brush. Hope those little tricks will be useful for you too. :D
Below are the eye swatches and I did this double winged thick liner! (My brother was saying it was looking like a fish.:D) I haven't used flash anywhere for the swatches. (see here how to apply winged eyeliner)
