I don’t think there is any need to explain my immense love for Maybelline products. Being an eye makeup fanatic, I am always on a hunt for best in eye cosmetics. I have read raving reviews on Maybelline gel liners so brought all three of them.
I prefer gel liners over liquid and pencil liners only because of their staying power. Pencil liners don’t stay more than 2-3 hrs on my very oily eyelids whereas liquid eyeliners stay a bit longer. Many say Maybelline’s Drama Gel Liners are cheaper alternative to MAC Fluidline Gel Eyeliner. However since I haven’t used Fluidline so cannot comment on how it works. But Maybelline is definitely way too cheaper than MAC. So, of the three Gel Liners from Maybelline, Today I will review Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in Black. Internationally, Maybelline has launched three shades in this range; Black, Brown and Royal Blue. But in India, we have just one shade. Why this partiality Maybelline? Why? Why? Why? I know most of you must be craving to try the other shades like me right. We can either wait till they launch them in India or ask someone staying abroad to get one for you. I am planning to go for the latter option. :D

Rs.410 for 2.8gm but I got it for 375 J

Packaging:-
The Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner comes in a cool petite packaging. Inside the box you will find a small glass tub and a complimentary brush applicator. The cute looking frosty glass tub comes with an aluminum metal lid, which looks bit cheap. The pot even though made of glass is not that heavy to carry along. You can easily carry it in your vanity bag.
The brush:-
The complimentary brush applicator is pretty much of good quality and offer smooth application. The brush comes with a transparent plastic cap, which makes it easy to carry along at the same time maintain the hygiene factor.
The bristles of the brush are soft and don’t hurt your lids. Even after numerous washing, not a single bristle has come off nor has the structure of the brush has changed. I have made a habit of cleaning the brush after every use to prevent the accumulation of the product on it. Just wipe it on a damp tissue after every use and it’s done.
My experience of using Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner – Black:
My first ever Gel Liner was from Maybelline and ever since I am crazy about them. Although I prefer Tips and Toes Gel liner over the Maybelline One, the quality of this product is pretty much good. Beauties with normal to dry skin can very well go for this product; however the ones with oily lids like mine might not like this as much.
The shade is blackest of black and even a single swipe gives enough pigmentation. The shade just makes your eyes stand out. The Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner is ideal to create Smokey eye look.
The Gel liner is soft and creamy and glides on like magic. The application of Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner gives a matt look on your lids. It dries quickly after application, which is another added benefit of Maybelline Gel liners.
You can also apply Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner on your water line. So far I haven’t experienced any tingling sensation on my eyelids.

Nays of Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner – Black
As such I didn’t find any Con with this product. But the staying power of Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner on my very oily eyelids is pretty ok.
Would I buy Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner – Black again?
Considering the price and the quantity of product, I totally recommend Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner. The quantity of the product in the tub is pretty good hence will take years and years to finish. But once it gets over I will try Gel liners from other brand, preferably MAC Fluidline.
