Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner Review

Hello everyone! So here, my first make up review for 2013, because I’ve posted about foods recently, ~oh beauty and foods <3 ^^ Okay enough. I’m here just to share my first gel eyeliner which I love. I got this last year, and luckily its not yet dry, it still works. 

The black gel liner and the brush included.

I read from some articles that you can store your gel liner like this, upside down, to prevent it from drying. 

The gel liner is on a small glass pot.  They say that gel eyeliners in glass jars don’t dry up as fast as those in plastic jars.

Tips on preventing the gel eyeliner from dying up fast

1. Place the cap of the jar tightly after use. Actually cap it after every dip of your brush. That’s what I do, I avoid it being exposed to the air.

2. Use a clean bush.

3. Keep it away from direct sunlight

Though some may prefer using an angled brush, actually I like this more. I sometimes use my angled brush from Charm but I still prefer and use the included brush more often.

How do I clean my brush and prevent it from becoming stiff?

1. I use eye make up remover

2. Wash it with foam cleanser and let it dry

I applied the last one too thick I guess, so there, it smudged when I rubbed it hard. Its waterproof, I can only remove it completely with an oil remover.

What I like:

-its creamy and easy to apply

-waterproof

-quick dry

-I like the “expert eyeliner brush” included

-Its been with me since last year, and its still not yet dry!

-the price, its affordable (P449). You just need a little bit of it to line your eyes.

What I don’t:

-it sometimes smudge at the middle of the day. Oh well, hello to our weather.

On my eyelids. If you want a more intense (glossy?) color, then I think you use a black liquid liner instead. 

and a shameless picture of me. :))

How about you, what is your favorite eyeliner? :)

*By the way, has anyone tried CLIO kill black pen eyeliner? CLIO  is finally available here in the Philippines, I saw it in SM Megamall. (Hello Lee Hyo Ri ^^)
