Maybelline Master Precise eyeliner Review

Honestly, why. I've thought about this...maybe it's because I haven't tried any other eyeliners other than the crappy Essence one (no offence Mrs Essence). But I must rate it somewhat if I keep buying it. The application of this eyeliner is simple, almost fool proof. Therefore I feel confident to add a bit of a flingey wing to my makeup looks. The tip is a bit thick so be prepared to be amused at how sultry you look. You might decide it's a bit much for a day look and try fix your chunky line with a q-tip. Does it smudge? Yas. Yas girl it does. My biggest whinge is that it drys up like there's no tomorrow. AND just to add to the depressed fest it doesn't even last long on your face!! Great. On average, this eyeliner will last me around 6-7 weeks...and for $23-24 it's a bit bung. I'd rather spend my money on chicken nuggies and a Netflix subscription..

I bought this after hearing an endless string of great reviews. It is a pen format, which makes it really easy to use. Uncap the lid and you see a small flexible felt tip style nib, which makes drawing a precise line easy.

I prefer to use the tip and the flat edge of the nib towards the tip for the most precision. You do have to be a bit careful as the nib widens quite a bit towards the base and will produce quite a thick line. You could use this part to make a wing quickly but I usually just line the top lashes without a wing.

Now for why I gave it a 2/5 stars: it dries up really quickly. Far too quickly. I probably only had two months max use out of this, and I didn't use it everyday. Towards the end it became very greyish also, not like the nice dark black it was at the beginning. Not sure if I got a dud or not but I'll stick with pot format liquid liners and gel eyeliners for now.

This liner has really great potential, it's not super expensive for a liquid pen and is fantastically easy to use, but it just dries out so disastrously quickly! Within about two weeks of using this liner it had dried out to the point where it was practically unusable - to get any product out at all I had to apply so much pressure that I lost all precision... which is kind of the whole point of liquid pens!!

I also didn't find it to be a particularly rich black, which is definitely my preference.

Don't waste your time, spend the extra $12 and get the Stila Stay All Day.

I found the consistency to be quite too watery for my liking, it even ran slightly into my eyes making them sting and watery. Although it's easy to apply, it did tug a little which made it a bit harder to apply than my holy grail.

I used this product for a few months before I found my holy grail, and in that time I brought 3 of these because they just didn't last, they dried out very quickly and I needed to wait between doing eyes for the eyeliner to wet the tip.

Would I recommed this? To a beginner looking for a cheap alternative to Stila Stay-All-Day I would say to give it a go, but otherwise, I would highly recommend spending a bit extra and getting Stila.

This is a very dry formula which does definitely give you time to be precise. It doesn’t bleed and you can create a very fine line. If I were to do a wing this would probably be the liner I would use as it is quite easy to clean up if you make a mistake and it is very easy to use . I personally prefer a wetter formula but would recommend this to anyone looking for a liner for a wing or graphic detail. Not a bad liner and being Maybelline it’s very budget friendly.

I do like the packaging. It's simple and compact allowing you to carry it anywhere without the fear of it leaking since the cap is locked on.

The brush is very fine and tapers to a tip that allows for thin and precise line application. I also like the formula as it doesn't tug and does allow for a smooth line and the perfect wing to be drawn (or any other eyeliner look that you want to rock). I do find that the colour is more of a grey and you have to keep going over the line to get an intense black which often makes the line messy and thicker, so I'm not a huge fan of that.

As for smudgeproof and waterproof - definitely not in my opinion. It always smudges on me and I end up with panda eyes, which is not a trend that I like. It smudges within a couple of hours on me and simply does not last - even when I wear eye primer. Possibly because of this, it does come off super easily and I just use Garnier Micellar water to remove it.

Due to the smudging and grey colour pay off, I am not a huge fan of this eyeliner and would not repurchase this.

This is a great eyeliner, you dont need to sharpen it or dip it into gel. It works really well and ideal for doing your eyelids. Dries quickly too! Good go to

I purchased this from Farmers in a special introductory price (maybe around $10). I didn’t really need another eyeliner, but I do prefer liquid eyeliners, so will grab a bargain when I can.

The tip is nice and fine, and flexible, but with structure, to draw an even line. I do find the tip clogs easily with foundation/powders, so often need to wipe it on the back of my hand to get the dark black back.

I did find the pen dried up quickly, even though it was capped when not in use - only had it for maybe a month before it ran out. If I’d paid full price, I would have been disappointed it didn’t last longer.

I really like this eyeliner. Super easy to use. I basically touch it longways on the top of my lashes & bring it down towards my lashline. It makes a perfect line without having to really do anything. I don't use the tip of the applicator to draw a line or anything, the applicator is the perfect length (about 1.5cm) , so I repeat the same action only 2-3 times per eye. The applicator dispenses the perfect amount to create nice crisp lines and lasts all day. Towards the end of the day I do find that i have a "second eyebrow" from it smudging a bit, but I have oily skin and it lasts better than many others I have tried.

I use this eyeliner daily, It is very easy and fuss free to apply, and looks great when first put on. I do find that after a few hours wear it smudges/melts in the corners of my eyes, but this may be due to having oily skin around my eyes, Definitely recommend for ease of use and for people who don't have a super steady hand!
