My experience with L’oreal Paris Gel Matic Pen “Blue Force”:
The only reason why I went out and brought this eyeliner was because of the gorgeous shade! It looks beautiful! It’s this stunning metallic navy blue shade. It’s a navy blue shade but it has this striking polish with it that makes it such a unique navy blue. I love the shade!
The staying poweris also truly impressive! It stays on my oily eyelids for more than 7 hours with no fading and no smudging at all. I have water eye corners and most eyeliners smudge there but this one doesn’t. In fact, with my recent eyeliners stint; all seem to be performing greatly on my oily eyelids in staying power department.
And, now the ordeal begins!
It comes in a retractable twist up packaging but the twist up mechanism is so lose that while I’m applying the eyeliner, it goes back in again and again. So, I have to hold it from ahead and then apply it, which I’m not comfortable with. It also comes with a sharpener at the end, so that you can sharpen it in case you want to go for thin lines. I forgot to include the picture for that.
The pigmentation is another let down. I have to swipe it three times to get an opaque colour. The texture isn’t buttery but it’s smooth. But since it has low pigmentation, I have to swipe it on with a little more than gentle pressure which has lead to the breaking of the tip twice! Imagine my horror! I was having mini heart attacks even while swatching it. My quantity has become even lesser. See the pictures. Please don’t laugh v_v
I also wanted to buy the silver shade in this but now I’ll restrain myself.
In short,
– L’oreal Paris Super Liner Gel Matic Pen “Blue Force” is a beautiful navy blue metallic shade with a gorgeous sheen and brightness to it.
– It comes in a twist up mechanism packaging which is lose and so, the liner goes back in on itself while application.
– The pigmentation is average in one swipe but fully buildable in three swipes.
– The texture is smooth and no tugging of eye lids is there.
– Because of the low pigmentation, a little more than gentle effort is required for it to show up on lids and the tip breaks! Mine broke two times!
– The staying power is impressive, 7hours+ on my oily eyelids.
I’m quite disappointed with this eyeliner. The staying power is truly impressive but applying it with careful pressure and monitor every time isn’t what I look forward to every morning while rushing out of home or even while in leisure. Add to that the lousy packaging. I have been let down by L’oreal after a long time and the only saving grace here is its staying power.

The shade is gorgeous but as you said the packaging is really bad! I can imagine what one can go through if have to hold the pen and pressure it! 🙁

Mine broke from the base but that was because it feel while I was photographing it :p
I really like this shade but the low pigmentation turns me off
OMG! I Rmber Your L'oreal Matte Lippies Too Broke! 🙁
Wish We Get Quality Worth The Price Next Time Coz We r Worth It 😛 😉
wow! That's a really pretty blue…I loved the hue & the staying power but wish it wasn't this soft…
Too bad it just breaks…Thats a total waste of money 🙁
I have brown from this range and you know I was thinking that it was some problem with my pack only as the lid keeps going inside. lol 😀 Mechanism doesn't work properly! and the tip breaking off is similar too. 😛 When such thing happens I would rub a stiff angled brush over the chunks and use them as a cream liner with the brush. this way at least we can use them. 🙂
