Review : Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner ( Black )

Hi friends, this is my first post on February. It's about maybelline eye studio liquid eyeliner in` black`. If you read my 2012 beauty favorite, you already know that my HG eyeliner is pixy gel liner. It's cheap and amazing but as a makeup junkie, i can't deny to tried another new items and collect them especially when i saw a sale offers on a beauty counter.. LOL
About this eyeliner, i really curious to tried since a long time ago. I have read a lot of good reviews for this gel liner but i think for the drugstore price, this gel liner is quite expensive. It's about IDR 100k ($10) and i`m not gonna spend $10 for a drugstore eyeliner..hihhi.. But lucky me, i bought this gel liner when the maybelline counter offering 30% disc for this eyeliner.. haha..quite a good deal.. so here is my review

 

Product name :
Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner (Black)

Product claims : 

The long wearing creamy gel texture provides the desired intense lines with a smooth, even application.

Price :
RRP IDR 98k / $10 .. but i`ve got this item on sale price IDR 65k / $6.5.

Packaging : 

Its come in a tiny glass jar, with a screw top cover

An eyeliner brush is  include

Its contains 2.8gr of gel liner

Color : 

Black, but not a blackest black eyeliner color

Matte finish, looks so natural

Pigmentation : 

It's good enough, i only need 1-2x swipe to get an opaque color actually but i always apply on 3-4 swipe to get an super black color since the colors is not so deep black.

Texture : 

Very creamy. i think the texture is more have a cream texture than a gel texture

Glides on very smoothly

It takes a long times to dry. so it's not good enough when you apply this eyeliner in hurry.

The brush : 

The bristles is very soft

Handy size, thin and tapered. so it's good to control and precise lining.

Staying power : 

It last for 7-8 hours perfectly on my oily lids, very good

It's smudge proof too

Waterproof test : 

I`m doing a waterproof test comparing with pixy gel liner. as you can see here, they both are waterproof.
i rubbed my hand very hard, pixy gel liner is still stay very well but the maybelline one is a little bit fade, as long as i don't rubbed my eyes very hard, the maybelline will stays on my eyes very well.

Can you see the color comparasion? thats why i loved pixy gel liner so much...hehe

Swatch on my eyes :

Overall : 

This gel liner is a good option for you if you`re looking for an creamy texture, natural black color, easy to use and good staying power eyeliner. The brush is a plus, you can created from thin to the thick eyeliner easily with this brush..

Thx for reading...
