After using the Tattoo Me Semi Permanent liquid eyeliner by 17, which retails at £4.99, for the past few years, I have never switched to another eyeliner as I have found the durability of it to be unbeatable. However, after getting fed up of the clumps that come with a product formulated for 48 hour wear, and the difficulty of removing the product at the end of the day, I decided to try a new eyeliner.
I decided to buy Maybelline's Eyestudio Gel Eyeliner which I had been considering for a while, the £8 price was holding me back as I wouldn't usually pay this for an eyeliner, however I decided it was worth it for a product which I had heard was similar to Mac's Fluidline in Blacktrack, and which comes with a decent brush.
I've now used this liner for a week and have been enjoying the effortless look it gives without much effort at all. This liner is the perfect formula for smokey evening eyes and daytime looks alike, as one layer can provide a natural, grey-black colour, but building up can develop an intense black look.
An initial complaint I had about the product was the slight shimmer I had noticed after application, however this has since grown on me, I'm actually starting to like how it gives a glamorous eye look.
The brush that this eyeliner comes with is great, it's a breath of fresh air especially after the over-flexible, messy applicator that most liquid eyeliners seem to have. This brush is a good shape, is precise, and picks up the right amount of product.
Currently, my only dislike is the silver lid, which looks tacky in comparison with the actual container, which is professional-looking.
There does not seem to be a huge amount of product, but I will see how long it lasts- probably longer than I am expecting.
Overall, I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a fuss-free eyeliner which can be used for any occasion and dries in under 30 seconds.
