Hey Girls !!!

I’m totally loving Maybelline’s new range of products and they have yet to disappoint me…Their new range of Swirl Gel Liners are amazing and you can read my review on the brown and gold variant.

I recently got myself the recent most talked about eye makeup product from Maybelline, The Lasting Drama Swirl Gel Eyeliner in Brown and Gold, and though I have literally tons of makeup products waiting to be reviewed, I decided to do this one first only because it just looks Tress Bien(Beautiful)  and Fabulous !!!! And I couldn’t wait to share with you Girls….

About the Maybelline Swirl Gel Liner

This is one of my favourite eye liners out there. It is long lasting, and just as it was said before, a little goes a long way. The brush is pretty good that comes with it as well. Always clean your makeup brushes, you don't need to use dirty brushes, especially in contact with the eye. I used to be all about liquid eyeliner, but I can't stop using gel now. It sets way better and lasts a lot longer, without you having to worry about it getting messed up.

And also, if you are a contacts wearer like me, BEWARE!! Do not use this on your tightline/waterline. It transferred onto my contacts and ruined them GRRRR!! :( But there was something I loved about this and it was the brush. Really high quality …..:)

ExpertTip : - Mix or use one color at a time, as you please; for an intense color, and glittery shine. Mix the 2 shades for a classy subtle shine. Use separately for an intense powerful line or dramatic shine.

Features, Packing, Application & Removal

The Maybelline Lasting Drama Swirl gel Liner comes in a pretty tiny glass tub with aluminium cap accompanied with an applicator brush like its former version. The texture of the liner is much creamier than the original black liner. The applicator brush is very comfortable to use. It is soft yet stiff enough to give controlled precise lines without any easy bends or softness. The brown in this dual gel liner is rich, dark, creamier & highly pigmented while gold shade is a total disappointment. It looks sparkly with minute glitters but is way weaker in pigmentation than the brown. One needs at least 4-5 swipes to make the shade show up on lids. The glitters are very fine & do not affect the smooth texture of the liner but they do travel on lids even if touched slightly. I am not much fond of the shade & use it mostly on inner corners of the eyes for some wakening effect needed. I love to use this brown shade.It has got rich & intense pigmentation & gives a rich chocolate-brown colour on lids which looks soft enough not to grab instant attraction.

Pro’s of MAYBELLINE Swirl Gel Liner

• Packaging accompanied with an applicator brush which makes it user friendly.
• Soft creamier texture.
• The two shades complement each other & can be used to create variety of looks.
• Smudge proof & water proof.
• Stays intact on lids till removed with a good remover.
• The brown shade is quite rich with good pigmentation. Its dark enough to show up on lids yet not very stark.

Con’s of MAYBELLINE Swirl Gel Liner

• The gold shade has weaker pigmentation & is not much used. So it’s better to get good dupes for the brown shade

Why You’ll Love It :

• Now eyes double up on drama!
• Gorgeous glitter swirl within the gel liner.
• Intense color and shine that lasts all day.
• Smudge proof and waterproof for 24 hours.Comes with an exclusive eye liner brush.

Overall Verdict:

First up the claims, this claims to stay on for 24 hours and I can fully agree! This stays on very well and is in fact quite a pain to take off!

The liner stays intact on my lids till removed with a good makeup remover or olive oil. It doesn’t budge & is waterproof which is an advantage for females like me who got the habit of touching their eyes every now & then. Overall I am not much impressed with the duo together but the rich brown shade steals the show here.
