Maybelline Eye Studio Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner Review

I love this liquid eyeliner. I randomly picked it up one day when Farmers was having a buy 2 get 1 free sale. I think the regular price was around $17 or so which isn't bad.

It comes with a nice applicator - the brush is nice and thin and the handle of it is a good size and easy to hold. The formula is like a medium-consistency paint which makes it very good for application. Like most liquid eyeliners, it's not simple to apply but I think most people purchasing a liquid eyeliner understand that. I like to apply it from the middle of my lid out and then from the middle of my lid in which works well for me. Once I draw each line, I hold my eye open without blinking to let it dry for about 20 seconds or so. Be warned, if you make a mistake it's really hard to correct with this eyeliner so take your time.

The formula dries to a really nice glossy finish (hence the name) and is a true black. It can really make the eyes look dramatic and it's great for a night out. It does stay on forever and will not smudge even a tiny bit but that makes it really hard to get off. I find that coconut oil works the best but you'll still probably have to give it a good scrub to get it off when you're washing off your makeup.

For a non-luxury brand eyeliner this is a great product! I would purchase again without hesitancy.

The ONLY thing I don't like about this is that it is very glossy, but other than that I would def use again but for GOING OUT or DRESS UP make up and not everyday wear (just because of the gloss) although I have read that some people have used translucent powder over it so it doesn't make look as glossy, so I'll use that tip.

The brush is nice and thin and makes it easy to apply and create any look.

I have just begun mastering the art of liquid liner. I picked up this liner at Kmart, I liked the look of it and the idea of it being a gloss finish. The price was a bit high, I mean I don't normally pay $22.99 for an liquid liner. I had hoped that it lives up to its name and my expectations, my thoughts when I purchased it.

For me, It is hard to hold this liner and apply whilst keeping still. It goes on really easy. If you mess up you will regret it! It smudged all around my eyes so I ended up looking like a panda for real. If you mess up it is really hard to fix too.

The only upside to this liner is that I really love the finish - glossy. It looks amazing and completes any eye look. The product itself is really great quality too.

Removal: Warning!! Removing this liner will be your biggest nightmare! Seriously difficult to remove, even with the best eye makeup remover. This liner just doesn't want to budge. However it will run all over your face when removing.

The Pros of this liner are: Lasts all day, Nice gloss finish, Great Formula, Professional Results, Compact product.

The Cons: Not made for amateurs, Insanely difficult to remove, A tad bit pricey, Stings when gets in eyeball.

I really like this product, it stayed on well, didn't transfer to my brow bone etc.. Really good if you're like a glossier finish.

I like this liquid liner a lot for doing wings, although it's brush is a little unforgiving to beginners it does give a wonderfully crisp wing when done correctly. I don't particularly like how glossy it is (but I guess I shouldn't complain about that when the name is Hyper GLOSSY). It stays all day on me and doesn't smudge. I like this product a lot a side from how hard I find it is to apply personally.

I bought this product based on a recommendation from one of my lovely friends who has oily monolid eyes and this liner works wonders on her. I really wish I could say that it worked the same wonders on my oily hooded eyes but alas it was not meant to be. What is interesting is that she bought the exact same product from Thailand but when we compared our products we noted the brush on my one was longer and slightly thicker.

I bought mine from the Warehouse for S14.99 and it comes in a black ink bottle with pink print on the outside. The cardboard backing it comes with shows you how to use the product where it suggests you hold your lids taunt. I personally don’t like to hold my lids taunt but the skin near my lashline isn’t smooth and the thin smooth consistency of the product means it will show every bump if not done right.

The brush tip is probably the thinnest liner tip I’ve ever seen but as mentioned earlier when compared to the one from Thailand it’s slightly thicker. The tip picks up a good amount of product and the formula doesn’t bleed or pool at the corners of your eyes during the day. I apply my liner in small strokes and it goes on really well but I find that I do have to work fast or risk trying to move product that has already adhered to the skin. It initially appears glossy but the colour slightly dulls to a semi-gloss; it’s not my favourite look but it’s black liner and not many people looking at your eyes care about the “finish”.

I prime my lids but sometimes it’s just not enough. I let my liner sit for an extra minute or two to ensure it’s completely dry before committing to opening my eyes normally. Despite my extra efforts I found that within the hour there is some light transfer and from there on out the product begins to flake or break away and tends to transfer throughout the day.

I wish it was oil and transfer proof however I’ve found that if I do a much thinner liner where there is no contact with my hooded lids that there’s no transfer. My only issue with that is I naturally have big eyes and to have a thin black liner isn’t really flattering on me – it seems almost pointless. When the liner is thinner it doesn’t smudge; it last a good 4 hours before I notice a bit of flaking. I personally wouldn’t recommend this for those with hooded lids where the preference is for a thicker winged liner.
