Maybelline Master Smokey Shadow Pencil

I am very surprised to see all the negative reviews, I actually really enjoy this product. As a rule a usually do have really heavy eye make up and go hard on the liner, the natural look isn't really my cup of tea. If you want the natural look I wouldn't recommend this as it puts quite a lot on in one swoop. However, it worked great for me and was easy to smudge, although I gave up on the smudger tip included as it felt too hard on my eyelid and instead used my finger instead. Gives a really great, bold look.

I was quite surprised to discover the number of negative reviews about this eyeliner! I personally found it to be pretty good, so maybe I just struck it lucky haha.

This pencil was very soft on my eyes and easy to apply, and smudged out nicely using the sponge smudger. The colour was a perfect black pigment and lasted well all day, without fading or smudging. No complaints here!

this product is most handy to anyone wanting the smokey eye effect but dont have the time or technique to be able to apply to eyes.the ultra pigments make it look so effective when applied you look like yourv spent hours tryna do it.it is only simple to use in two steps you can make your eyes smokey and great you wont be disapointed if wanting to purchase this product.

I picked this up at a clearance sale. At the moment I'm obsessed with eye liners. I love collecting different colours. I'm on a search for a good eye liner that will last me all day long.

This eye liner is the chunkiest one in my collection. It's like a crayon on one side and a smudging tip on the opposite side. I got Black because I couldn't find any other colours. The consistency of this isn't patchy. The colour is pigmented. Maybe I got a good batch.

Looking at the tip I was nervous about how thick the line might turn out. First gave it a go, one line was bold . Normally I would need to go over my lines to define them but not with this pencil. I managed to get a good 7 hours wear time . On my top lash line there wasn't any fading. Bottom lash line fading began around 5 to 7 hours time.

There's no way I would spend twenty dollars on a eye pencil. It's over priced. I think ten dollars is more reasonable amount to pay. I was lucky to get mine for roughly $3 . I enjoyed this one and I would definately like to buy more colours.

I bought this in combination with the Colossal Smoky Eye Mascara to see what kind of look I could create. It was average.

I found holding the pen on the side and not directly putting the tip on my eye lid made me able to create a thick line that theoretically I would then be able to smudge with the attached smudger.

It didn't do the best job, I did manage some form of smokiness, but definitely not like what the picture looks like on the package.

I have the colour black smoke. I also own smoldering violet and that one didn't do the best job either....oh well, like I said, I had to try it!

I had previously brought another liner in the master drama range, so when I found this one in a clearance sale I decided to give it a go as well.

The packaging like the other liners in the range in a sleek black liner. The one however has the liner at one end and a smudger at the other.

When applying this liner I found in one stroke it created a thick top line and in another stroke created a thick botton line. However I often found the line a little to thick. But it worked. The smudger however made a bit of a mess and reduced the great pigmentation. So I ended up using the liner without smudging it.

Having such a thick line did often result in panda eyes at the end of the day, but it did stay on all day, even if it smudged itself out.

The liner did however not last that long and I ended up having to buy a new liner to replace it quicker than expected.

I understand this is a smokey shadow pencil, its okay for smokey eye bases, maybe a little too dark for that purpose. The point is too fat for liner or a precise placing of base and smudges way too easily which makes it prone to creasing. The smudger at the end is no help at all. Sorry maybelline, i love you but this one is a miss

I found this easy to apply, as it doesn't drag across my eyelid or scratch the sensitive skin and the line applies with a even colour in one stroke. But its also easy to smudge the colour out. This is where my problems start, as it is too easy to smoke out - the smudger works more like an eraser for me.also the smudger is a bit scratchy , really not the best out there

I was really looking forward to having a long wearing smoky eye. The colour was nice but I found the blender didn't blend the thick line as I was hoping it would and unfortunately it wasn't long wearing for me.
