MaybellineLasting Drama Gel Eyeliner, Black

Very pleased with the results. I'm turning 50 next year and have started to find that ultra black eyeliner is looking more harsh and aging and less elegant than it used to, so I wanted to try a brown one instead. I wanted a VERY dark brown and had been eyeing up a prestigious designer brand gel pot eyeliner in the exact colour I wanted, but that was nearly £30! (And it didn't even come with a brush!) I took a chance on this instead at a fraction of the price; I bought both the black and brown and custom blended them myself to get the exact shade I wanted. These are extremely pigmented (especially the black - a little goes a very long way and you only need the tiniest hint to darken the brown by the right amount!) so I dipped the very end of the brush ever so lightly into the black, then picked up a small amount of brown and blended it straight onto the eye. It glides on and blends like a dream; I used the smudger end to soften and blend and repeated until I was happy with the results, but it was very quick to create because both the brush and gel were so easy to work with. This was much better than I was expecting. I even used it on the lower waterline with no irritation at all and I very rarely line the inner lid because my eyes tend to water quite a bit. So far the staying power is excellent. Haven't tried to remove it yet, but I'm sure my trusty micellar water will be up to the job - it makes light work of waterproof mascara.(The photos are unfiltered and unretouched - just a bit blurry as I cropped and zoomed in on a normal pic, but very happy with the results anyway).

Easy to use

Comes in a sturdy matte glass pot , brush that comes with useless but product itself really pigmented and smudge proof when set with setting sprayReally good quality for price!

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

I've been using this eyeliner for years, easy to apply, lasts me all day. I don't think this waterproof, but I've showered and gone swimming plenty of times without it budging. Long as you don't rub your eyes too much. It's a true black, I've used this eyeliner everyday for literal years. It's easy to take off yet stays on all day. I probably only buy a jar a year, so it lasts for ages, you don't need much product.

Pros: nice brush. Good for tight lining or a smudged look.Cons: If you want something sharper, it won’t last.I just wanted to darken the roots of my lashes so my strip lashes blend in. It does that.

Really good dark eyeliner, a lot of eyeliners tend to mix with concealer or your base eye look and makes it look grey however this is so much better than expected, the small precision brush is quite good too, the other side you can use if you would like to smudge the eyeliner.

I’m crap with eyeliner, used a pen and kohl and never happy with the result, usually panda eyes or big thick lines. I find this good for me, a nice gel, worth the money for the brush alone, gives me the look I want. Some reviews have said it dries out quick in the bottle, I have had it a month and still good. Will definitely buy again takes less than a minute to line my eyes in a morning, bonus for me in the rush to get ready for work and lasts all day.
