For the price, it's good
This is my first gel liner. I use the brush it came with for other things (eh art project anyone?) and I apply the liner with an angled brush. It glides on nice and the staying power is good too. I only line my upper lash line with this as I find lining my lower lash line to be harder. Maybe that's just me, but I like to line that with my revlon colorstay liner. I wish this would stay on my waterline!
It goes on gorgeously, and precisely and has great colour. Can be smudged if so desired when wet... and supposedly not once it has dried.
Fair enough, it worked really well the first time I used it, but didn't have it on for long then.
Second time I ended up with a dramatic raccoon eye, but I thought that was due to laughing too much (...). Third time I wore it to work, in a lovely winged top-only style. Half way through my shift my wings have flown, leaving a flurry of eye liner in no particular shape around the outer corners of my eyes. But hey, I get to keep the brush...
This was my first gel liner and I still use it. This is a long lasting liner. It doesn't smudge and is moth to apply. I can say I am not a fan of the brush, use an angled liner brush and clean the brush after every use.

Really dark color and easy to use. Not great for oily lids.
The liner itself comes in a little pot with a screw on cap. It's marketed as a 'gel' liner but the formulation is more like a cream liner. What's the difference? Gel liners tend to be more fluid and apply wetter and dry glossier. Cream liners on the other hand, are slightly dryer but creamier in formulation, and dry more matte (typically). (Do I really know what I’m talking about? Heck no, I’ve come to that conclusion off observation; cream or gel they could very well be the same thing.)
I really do like Maybelline’s Lasting Drama gel eyeliner and even the crummy brush it came with. Application is easy and the finish is dark and matte. I definitely love the finish of this over other glossy liquid eye liners. My main issue is that this liner smudges too easily. Even after a few minutes it’s still extremely prone to smudging. Since this liner doesn’t set or dry, combined with my oily eyelids, Maybelline’s Lasting Drama eyeliner stays put for 4 maybe 5 hours max.
Overall, I will still continue to use this product but I will likely not repurchase. Maybe I got a dud. Let me know what you think if you’ve tried this liner!
My little sister uses this for dancing and performing, so its easy to use and stays on for long. It doesn't smudge and it has great precision for someone with little experience with cosmetics and the application of them. i suggest this product to anyone who is a performer and needs a fail-proof eyeliner that's easy to use and also reasonably priced!
A really good eyeliner!
I loved this product! The texture is smooth, it's long lasting and is easy to put on. The only bad part is that you have to clean the brush after every time you use it or the brush will get stiff with all the product dried on it, but otherwise it's a great product and perfect for creating both casual and really dramatic looks.
Great!
Deep color, easy to apply, stays for a long time!
Perfect dupe for Bobbie Browns gel liner
Tip: use it on your waterline, this doen't smudge as fast as normal eye pencils :)

This is a great gel eyeliner! It's very pigmented and very easy to apply! Also it's pretty cheap! It's a great dupe for the smashbox cream eyeliner! (: I highly request it! Just don't forget to close the lid tightly or it will dry out! If that does happen though you can just wipe you brush in makeup remover and your set! It's because it will make the liner creamier!
I bought this just to try out something new. The color is fantastic and gives a deep dramatic black. The texture is smooth and stays on all day. Applying the gel does take a little longer compared to a stick or pen, considering you have to brush it on, but if you're going for a more precise line then this works very well.
