Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Swirl Gel Eyeliner – Black and Silver: A Review

Coming on to my final review on Maybelline gel liners, today, I will be talking about Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Swirl Gel Eyeliner – Black and Silver. This was the first ever gel liner I brought from the Maybelline range. Months back, when I went to the Maybelline outlet in Lifestyle, it had just two gel liners the Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama gel liner in black and this one. So instead of buying just the black shade, I thought of giving the Swirl Gel liner a try.

The Swirl Gel Eyeliner comes in two variants, Black and Silver; and Black and Silver. Both are equally good and work quite well. These are the most unique looking gel liners which can be used in three different ways. No other brand has introduced such combined gel liners till date. So, I personally feel that Maybelline has set a distinct market for its Swirl Gel liners with no competitors to it.

Price:-

 Rs.425 for 7.5gms

Product Claims:- 


  • Our oil-free formula holds highly concentrated pigments in a clear gel base
  • More intense Color resists wear for hours
  • Smudge and Water-proof
  • Gives intense line for lasting drama
  • Creamy gel comes in two distinct shades of bronze and shimmery gold that can be used separately for either an intense line or dramatic shine.
  • When mixed together, the two shades create a subtle shine that gives eyes a quiet elegance.
  • Flat tipped eyeliner brush offer even and precise stroke

How to use:-

Use gel liner and begin at the inner eye. Extend along lash line, continuing up towards the brow
Mix or Use one color at a time for intense color and glittery shine
Must be used before 30 months from the date of manufacturing

Packaging:-

Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Swirl Gel Eyeliner – Black and Silver comes in a cool petite packaging. Inside the box you will find a small glass tub and a complimentary brush applicator. The cute looking frosty glass tub comes with an aluminum metal lid, which looks bit cheap. The pot even though made of glass is not that heavy to carry along. You can easily carry it in your vanity bag.

The brush:-

The complimentary brush applicator is pretty much of good quality and offer smooth application. The brush comes with a transparent plastic cap, which makes it easy to carry along at the same time maintain the hygiene factor.
The bristles of the brush are soft and don’t hurt your lids. Even after numerous washing, not a single bristle has come off nor has the structure of the brush has changed. I have made a habit of cleaning the brush after every use to prevent the accumulation of the product on it. Just wipe it on a damp tissue after every use and it’s done.

My experience of using Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Swirl Gel Eyeliner – Black and Silver:

Anyone will fall in love with the creamy swirly look of the Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Swirl Gel Eyeliner – Black and Silver. I really feel sorry for the way I used it but I was helpless as I didn’t want to mix both the shades and use it as different shade.
The black shade is not as black as the Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in Black. It is bit lighter but has a similar creamy consistency.

Like I said in my earlier review of swirl gel liner, the Swirl of Silver also runs down till the bottom. The silver shade is not that pigmented but it is darker as compared to the golden swirl liner. Two swipes can give pretty pigmentation. The mix of both Black and Silver appears like a shiny black shade which can used for daily use as well.
The staying power of Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Swirl Gel Eyeliner – Black and Silver is more or less similar to the Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in Black. The black in this swirl smudges a lot.

Swatches:

Nays of Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Swirl Gel Eyeliner – Black and Silver

The black shade smudges on my eyelids after few hours of application.
