Maybelline TattooStudio Long-Lasting Sharpenable Eyeliner Pencil Glide on Smooth Gel Pigments with 36 Hour Wear Waterproof Bold Brown

Review: If you love a sharp, almond-eyed look or a precise winged liner, this Tattoo Liner is of excellent quality. However, you should keep in mind that this is not the product for you if you are looking for a "smudged" or smokey effect. True to its name, once you draw a line, the pigment sets quickly and stays exactly where you put it—just like a tattoo. Pros: Staying Power: The pigment is intense and doesn't budge throughout the day. Precision: Perfect for defining the eyes with clean lines. Global Appeal: I purchased this from Argentina, and I honestly wish we had access to the full range of colors here! I would definitely buy it in other shades if they were available. Cons / Things to Watch Out For: The only downside is that it doesn't come with its own sharpener. The texture is a perfect middle ground between a pencil and a crayon—it’s creamy but firm. Because it’s not a hard lead, it can be a bit tricky to sharpen. If you don't use a high-quality sharpener, you might end up wasting product or breaking the tip easily. I highly recommend being careful and using a sharp, makeup-specific sharpener to get the most out of it. Overall, the quality is top-notch. I will definitely be looking to get more colors soon!

This Maybelline TattooStudio eyeliner pencil is one of my absolute favorites! I keep ordering it and have several in various places, like my bag, vanity table, car and camper to ensure one's always available when needed. The texture of the gel pencil is satiny and it applies smoothly without pulling on the skin around my lash line. The color is intense and it only takes one coat to make a highly pigmented dark gray line, which can be blended into a smoky frame for the eyes by applying gray or dark brown eyeshadow over it with a thin flat brush. Fans of 1990s movies may remember "The Craft," and the exceptionally stunning eyeliner worn by Fairuza Balk, made even more prominent because it contrasted with her light colored eyes, ivory skin and dark hair. She has a "winter" complexion, and this gel pencil is a way to get that mysterious smoky look! The charcoal shade is dark enough to make my lashes look thicker, but not harsh or aging like a solid black pencil would be. The dark gray brings out the blue in my eyes without being an obvious "color" like green, purple or blue. I've accidentally fallen asleep with it on and woke up to find smoky lids still pleasantly smudged, so it's durable. The pencil is a great value since it only takes one application to stay on all day, especially after being reinforced with my dark eyeshadow applied on top of it. Read more

I purchased this green eyeliner pencil to try something softer than black that matched my eyes, and it has quickly become a staple in my makeup routine. Color Payoff The greeenshade is well-pigmented and provides a subtle, refined look that works for both daytime and evening wear. It’s less harsh than black but still defines my eyes nicely. Application The pencil glides on smoothly without tugging at the skin. It blends easily for a smoky effect but can also create a clean, defined line. Longevity The liner stays in place for several hours without smudging excessively. While not completely waterproof, it holds up well under normal wear. Value The pencil offers good quality at a fair price. It sharpens cleanly without breaking, which adds to its longevity. Read more

This eyeliner seriously impressed me with how bold and rich the pigment is. The Deep Onyx shade is a true, intense black that shows up immediately with just one swipe, no need to go over it multiple times. It glides on really smoothly, almost like a gel, so it’s easy to apply even on delicate areas like the waterline. Once it sets, it stays put. I’ve worn it for long days, in heat and humidity, and it doesn’t smudge or fade. Definitely lives up to the “36-hour wear” claim. It’s also waterproof, so tears or rain won’t budge it. One thing to know: it’s a sharpenable pencil, not a twist-up. You’ll want a sharpener that can handle soft, creamy pencils, because the formula is rich and smooth, but once sharpened properly, the application is flawless. If you’re looking for a super pigmented, long-lasting liner that won’t let you down by the end of the day, this one delivers big time. Read more
