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!

The shade is lovely bt definitely the formula isnt.. even the packaging is a dud .. I was planning the silver one but Think I should skip that as well..

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.
