Drugstore Gel Liner Battle

Gel liners are my favorite eyeliners this year. I've been using Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama ($7.99) for the past couple of months. I like it but recently stumbled upon L’OrĂ©al Paris Infallible Never Fail Lacquer Liner 24H in Blackest Black ($9.95). Loreal's beat out Maybelline's by far.


There were many times when Maybellines smeared and also wasn't as dark as I like my eyeliner to be.


Look & Feel -

Maybelline's application is smooth but just not as smooth as Loreal's fluidity Which draws on nicely and dries much faster. Loreal's also has a semi glossy finish while Maybelline is more matte which turns charcoal.

Maybelline's

Loreal's (excuse my extreme usage mess)

Brush - Loreals brush has a more flat tip while Maybelline's was pointy. Lining with a flat tip brush is so much easier than pointy.


Loreal's is on top
Maybelline's on bottom.

Lasting Effect - Maybellines turned charcoal - gray by the end of the day while Loreal's blackest black lasted all day and night!!

Price - Maybelline's $7.99 vs Loreal's $9.95 Obviously you would go for the cheaper one but just for a buck more goes a long way.

The winner here is no contest - Loreal's 24hr Gel liner.
