Review! Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Liner

Colour: Blackest Black 950 (Waterproof)

[ Claims ]
Intense Colour
Smudge proof
Waterproof
24 Hour wear

[ First Impressions ]
• Very easy to work with
• Sets quickly- but not too quickly!
• Isn't as wet as the Scandal Eyes, which I like.
• I wasn't too keen on this brush style at first (similar to the Scandal Eyes), but after using it a few times, I don't mind it.
• Very black! Very matte! Perfect for bridal :)
• Very easy to apply- glides on so smooth!



I applied the liner at 12 noon.
I used a thin paintbrush from the craft store to apply the liner
(with a careful hand, you can still achieve a flick with the brush that comes with it!)
I applied a little of Maybelline's colour tattoo in BARELY BRANDED across the lid.

5 pm, 5 hours of wear

This photo, and the one above, were taken at 5 pm.
Liner still looks perfect!
(These photos are from the second time using this liner, I forgot to take photos the first time)
The first time I used this liner, I was wearing primer- and had a fantastic result! Today I skipped that step, and decided to really test this bad boy out!
It'll be interesting to see if there's a difference!

Photo taken at 12 midnight
After 12 hours of wear this liner still looks amazing! It stayed right where I put it!
So far it's just as great without a primer!

Photo taken at 10 a.m.
22 hours!
Even the colour tattoo seems to be holding up quite well! (which is great since they both claim 24 hour wear-ability!)
I took this photo right after I woke up, I'm totally still in bed lol, nice messy eyebrows ;)


Morning-time cuddles with my little man!
Isn't he just the cutest thing? I had to share some of my morning cuteness :)


Photo taken at 7 p.m.
Today got away from me before I got a chance to wash my face! I did go wash my face right after I took this photo (I couldn't stand it any longer!) I had to use remover after, as my face wash only removed the winged parts! I really should have taken another photo!
I can't believe how awesome the liner has held up after 31 hours! Insane!
The colour tattoo has started to crease, but hey it has exceeded it's life expectancy!
I think this combo is going to be one of my new GO-TO looks when I need to be speedy!


More baby cuteness...
 [FINAL THOUGHTS]

     I can't say enough good things about this product! The proof is in the (bad quality, sorry guys) photos above! After 31 hours, the liner was still in tact! It hasn't budged from where I put it, and it's still so pigmented! Didn't flake off (which I have encountered with some liquid liners). I would recommend this product in a heartbeat! It's amazing! I had originally wanted to buy this, but walmart was out of stock (which is why I bought the Scandal Eyes). Don't get me wrong, the Scandal Eyes is still a really good product, and is roughly half the price- but I'll be returning it (I don't need two black gel liners). I will definitely be getting a second pot of this for my makeup kit- can't wait to use it for weddings!
