By now everyone should know that my make-up is basically just eyeliner. It took me years and years to perfect my eyeliner drawing skills, and I want to share the experience with the gel eyeliner from L'oreal with you. I have tried plenty of different gel eyeliners over the years, from the regular drugstore brands to the luxury brand products to the most hyped in Japan. I know exactly how to draw my eyeliner, and what I look for in an eyeliner. It must be creamy but should not smudge. For black eyeliner, the blacker the better. It's a no-go for me if it fades or smudges over time.
Super Liner Gel Intenza. Whoever came up with the name for this L'oreal gel eyeliner definitely does not use this eyeliner, and does know how to combine appealing words. I decided to give this drugstore eyeliner a try, because besides Maybelline and Essence it is the only low-budget gel eyeliner on the German market (i think), because the L'oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim pen liner is really good and because the packaging looked so promising. While the pen liner kept all the expectations I have for an eyeliner, the gel one left me disappointed and with unnecessary extra minutes applying it. It is not super in my opinion, yes it is a gel liner, and regarding the intenza, if they were trying to refer to an intensive black or intensive opacity, it's not the case with this gel eyeliner.
The black is not intense enough, it easily smudges while applying and the drawing process itself just doesn't go as smooth and well covering as I would like it to be. Even with several layers I don't get a deep black finish. It looks a little faded from the beginning. And it doesn't stay smudge proof even after drying down.
If I compare to the Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner, the L'oreal Super Liner Gel Intenza is less dramatic and less black. They are in the same price range, between 7 and 10€ I think, but the Maybelline is longer lasting and more intense on my lids, even though not all too smudge proof as well. I probably wouldn't buy from L'oreal again, because there are many better eyeliners out there, and since gel eyeliner is the essential product in my make-up routine I don't mind investing in pricier products from luxury brands or Japan.

| Do you see how it rubbed off on the top of my lid ? No go ! I don't even have oily skin or lids, and didn't do anything special all day. If I had gone clubbing or if I were in Vietnam, I don't want to know how I would look like after these 10 hours. |
