To Buy or Not To Buy : Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner Review

Makeup should not be a huge investment. I mean sometimes, price means quality, but not always.Drugstore brands have recently made very serious efforts to improve the quality of their products. Now many of them perform as good as professional or luxurious brands. That is the case of this gel eyeliner.

+ WATERPROOF & SMUDGEPROOF. And by this, I mean that I sometimes wear it when I am dancing and it does not move. I also have the bad habbit of rubbing by eyes and believe it or not, it stays in place perfectly. 

+ Super black
+ Easy to use and work
+ Comes with a brush that is actually quite good
+ Inexpensive and very affordable
+ It is long-lasting. this stays in place all day long
+ It does not dry (provided you close it properly every time you use it)
+ The packaging is not cheap at all for a drugstore product
+ It does not cause irritation
+ You can use it on the waterline like a khol pencil, except this won't move at all!

This is my second pot, I love it so much. I personally don't use the brush because I have my own favorite, but I have tried it and it's very good!

Some swatches using the Maybelline Eyeliner brush. You can create thin to very thick lines. As you can see, it is very pigmented

So buy it or leave it?
BUY!!!!! 
I cannot find any cons for this product and in my opinion this a MUST-HAVE! Forget any other brands like MAC or Bobbi Brown, this is definitely the best one.

A quick word about gel liner: it is a matter of preference, some people will prefer liquid. However, liquid eyeliner are rarely waterproof. Gel liner can seem a bit wary to use at first, but once you get used to it, it is amazing.
