Review: L’Oreal 24 Hour Super Liner Gel Eyeliner – 02 Brown

October 14, 2009 Paris B 36 Comments

I’ve noticed a very interesting phenomenon in L’Oreal and Maybelline brands in Asia. They are starting to skew towards Japanese style cosmetics! First was Maybelline Glow Diamond eyeshadow palettes and the Maybelline gel liner.

Not to be outdone, sister company L’Oreal Cosmetics too has come up with a gel liner and an open eyes eyeshadow palette in gradational colours. Tell me they don’t remind you of Japanese makeup!

The new L’Oreal Super Liner gel liner comes in a glass pot with black cap that reminds me of the Kate gel eyeliner that I hated. The base feels the same as Maybelline’s but the cap is a servicable black unlike the metal cap of Maybelline. That metal cap really bugs me, Maybelline!

Texture wise, the gel liner is smooth and easy to apply. It comes with a very useful brush too. The brush is a little soft for very thin precise lines but if you want a thicker line this is your friend.

The colour I have is 02 Brown – a dark brown with no shimmer. It applies a little light so I layer but it does stay on the lids. Do bear in mind I do not have oily lids so I had no problems keeping it on without smudging or fading. It claims 24 hours of wear but heck! How on earth am I ever going to test that without sleeping?!

I apply a thicker line on my lids because when I open my eyes you can’t see anything due to the folds of the eye.

There is no chemical smell or scent and is overall a decent product. I think the traditional domain of Bobbi Brown gel liners is seriously getting some major competition now that we have lower end options that WORK! And not only work, but work very well.

I noticed that on the box for the L’Oreal gel liner it stated that this was only to be sold in Japan. It makes me think that this is an Asia Exclusive product and its a pretty good one at that. Do confirm if you have seen it anywhere outside of Asia. Here’s the link to the L’Oreal Japan site.

The L’Oreal Super liner gel liner retails at RM49.90 at all L’Oreal Cosmetics counters. I believe it comes in 2 colours – Black and Brown.

Pros: Stays on my lids, Does not smudge, Affordable, Comes with a brush

Cons: Brown colour is a little light

I know what some of you are thinking – How does the L’oreal gel liner compare to the Maybelline gel eyeliner?

Erm… It feels the same to me except I felt the L’Oreal one dries a little faster so there is little or no transference. Maybelline is cheaper so if you only want to choose one, go for the Maybelline. However, since I have Maybelline in Black and L’Oreal in Brown, I can’t quite compare them except to say that the texture is similar and they both work very very well. I can’t quite choose between them! If I ever get hold of the black one I’ll tell you what I think.

If you have tested these or if you have thoughts on how the L’Oreal and Maybelline gel liners compare, do share!

Stay beautiful,

Paris B

    you’ve got me tempted! I wasn’t keen on trying the maybelline one cuz I’ve been hearing that it takes some time to dry. perhaps l’oreal would be a better option. I still have an unopened L’Oreal HiP gel liner though :p

      Hey Connie

      Haha… I found the L’oreal one dries faster. I don’t own the HiP liner so now would be a good time for you to do a comparison no? 😉

    Thanks for this review, been waiting for your review before I decide whether to go for the Maybelline or Loreal gel liner. Seems like both work quite well ?

    ps: your eyeshadow color looks gorgoeus 🙂

      Hi Aiyu

      Thank you! 🙂 I can’t remember what color it was though 😛 Both brands do work well in terms of the gel liners – and both brushes work well too. L’Oreal’s gel liner did seem a little thicker but that could be my imagination.

    I like the smudge! Looks good.

    Now, we shall leave it to the discounts to make our decisions. hahaha. Too bad, I don’t think I want to get it yet, as I am so so afraid that the gel will dry up, since I do so little makeup. I have two pots of Maybelline, in Black and Brown. And haven’t even used 1/4 of it. LOL.

    Hm…so many companies coming out with their gel liners these days. Though price wise, Coastal Scents is even more affordable but you can only get them online or through sprees. For sake of accessibility, L’oreal and Maybelline is your best bet.

      Thanks for the comment. I’ve never tried Coastal Scents so I will not be able to compare. I’m happy with the offerings from L’Oreal and Maybelline thus far 🙂

      No I have not tried Stila smudge pots. I was not into them. I have tried MAC Fluidliners and I think the L’Oreal gel liners are just as good if not better due to price 🙂

    Just thought I’d add my 2 cents worth and say I tried the black gel liner, and wasn’t too impressed with the texture… it was so hard to draw a straight line that wasn’t uneven (in terms of texture) with the brush provided! And also, while testing it on my hand, I noticed the liner faded away pretty soon after I applied it. Definitely not smudge proof!

      My answer will be no. I absolutely disliked the Kate gel liner so I’d go for L’Oreal or Maybelline any day.

    I used the MAC blactrack And I have terrible eye infection but my eyes is fine with Bobbi brown… I used it twice and gave it away. I would now definitely try Maybellines

    tried both maybelline and l’oreal. maybelline is smoother to apply, better brush in my opinion, but smudges horribly, i doubt it’s waterproof, if you cry the whole line is gone. l’oreal may not be as smooth, but it lasts really well, you can even put eye drops with no worries.
