I agree with @MakeupbySP ! I even used an Eco tools eyeliner brush and it works sooooo much better and I have the brown one which is more pigmented than the eggplant one you have :)
A little trick I like to do is to use my blowdryer directly on the Gel Liner and wait until the product has turned into a gooey substance. It is definitely easier to work with and the color deepens. I actually have the black one and I havent even hit the bottom yet. Im barely, well, not really half way through with it and let me just say, I LOVE smokey eyes, and wear my liner pretty thick, so....Two thumbs up!
I use the black gel liner all the time and it works so well for me. The eggplant one maybe not so much but if you just want a matt black line then the black one works super well.
Why does every makeup video ever compare makeup to mac? Bad comparison coming from someone that uses drugstore brand and has never used or seen mac products before
If you want a cheap eggplant color that's more opaque than the Maybelline one, Wet `n Wild has one for only $4, and it smudges the least out of any drugstore gel/cream liner I've tried :)
I bought the Maybelline gel liner in charcoal. It wasn't creamy or pigmented when I first got it. Then I got the idea to stir up the liner with a toothpick to "fluff" it. Now, my liner is SUPER creamy and a lot darker, since it isn't so dry. Maybe it will work for the eggplant color too!
@CaixaDeSol i think its a great drugstore gel liner and good for beginners imho. i have brown - very pleased with the liner and the brush- first time using a gel or cream liner. I am not a beginner though when it comes to make up or liner. ♥
I love the Bobbi Brown gel liners, too. Thought the Maybelline might be a cheaper dupe for Bobbi Brown's violet gel liner, but I guess not! great review- thanks!
I'm very interested in the gel liner! The swatch of the baked swirl shadow was helpful. Those make me reluctant sometimes because I don't know how they will turn out.
Hi, is anyone else getting the "ERROR" thing on this video??? This is the third time I've tried it since it's been up, and I have yet to get it to work :/
thanks so much for this! i've been considering picking up one of those quads. also! i just bought petting pink from mac after watching one of your videos and seeing you rave about it so much. i love it! thanks!
I found the Maybelline eye studio quads to be chalky, too. I can work with them, but they can be crumbly.
As for the gel liner, I bought Black and it is very dark. For me, it wasn't quite as creamy, but it does a decent job. The brush that comes with it is junk though. It does have very good staying power. In fact, it dries fairly quickly, too.
This tutorial was really helpful I wanted to get the eyeshadow quad because of that turqouise colour. =)
Ive never used a gel liner before but that one did look abit sheer I prefer my eyeliner on my top lash line to be dark too, so I probably wont get that one to try out if it takes a few coats....
@whydiddiscodie94 Ditto that, that palette is TOTALLY a Urban Decay Get Baked knock-off, but worse quality. While UD is more expensive, the bronze is a true bronze (not orangey) and instead of the nude color you get a beautiful super-pigmented gold.
Hey I did a review of the eye studio products too I love them! Are you wearing sally hansen purple potion nail polish? If not, what are you wearing? It looks a lot like purple potion.
You should try the gel liners (or cream, I'm not sure what it is) from Wet N' Wild. I use the black one every day and love it. It stays forever, and is very black. =)
Wet and Wild has a gel liner about $6 thats really good! Im sure if their eggplant shade is any better than the maybelline one, but the black is amazing!
I love the Wet n Wild one, too! :) I was super impressed. They are so soft and creamy, but stay on all day.
The black is awesome, but I did have some problems with the pigmentation on the eggplant. I've wondered if I got a bad one though because the black is jet black. If only they made it in navy blue.... I would be so happy.*sigh*
Thanks for the review, Allison. I've been looking at these, but you've saved me some money on the liner. The eyeshadows look nice, though.
could you do an eye look/tutorial with the eye duo? I have seen these in stores, love the look of them, but unsure how to work it for an eye look. ideas?
I collect all the colors

for the gel liner, try using a angled liner brush instead. a more dense angled liner brush will pick up the product and apply better :)

I guess maybe purple liners are just meant to be more sheer? I don't think the Coastal scents one is all that pigmented either.
I was thinking of trying the purple liquid liner from Wet n Wild instead. Hopefully that has a better pay off.
