Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in Forest - Review, Photos & Swatches

How gorgeous is this shade of green gel eyeliner from Maybelline's Fall Fashion Week 2011 collection? I always have a tough time finding green gel liners at the drugstores so, I had to get this plus it was limited-edition! There's another shade of metallic blue that is part of this collection called Sapphire. I wasn't too keen on that since blue gel liners are not so hard to find.


"Forest" is a deep, jewel toned green with very fine shimmer. It is dark enough to work with a smokey eye and perfect when used alone too. I love the formula of Maybelline gel liners. They are super creamy, stay put for hours together and waterproof too. I'm not very fond of the brush though. It's alright, works in a pinch but, is not great when you want to wing your eyeliner. So, I stick to my Sonia Kashuk Bent Eyeliner brush or any regular flat eyeliner brush.
 

Overall, if there is just one item you want to pick up from this collection, it is this eyeliner. It looks absolutely gorgeous on any eye color, is not too bright and is very versatile.

Have you tried the Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in Forest?
