Maybelline Hyper Easy Liquid Eyeliner Reviews

Thanks to Beauty review for sending me this to review.

First impressions of this product are really good. It has a slimline octagonal barrel with nice font and detailing. The cap is lightly sprung, so gives a little feedback when replacing. It has a brush tip which is really finely pointed, and gives a good, smooth application.

This product has a really good, opaque black from one swipe, and gives a really precise line and wing. I didn’t find that it skipped on my lids (which are a little loose and prone to skipping at the lash line). This is a pretty smudge-proof loner once dry (which doesn’t take long!), but it comes off reasonably well with micellar water or my evening double cleanse.

I didn’t find it the easiest to do a more dramatic, filled in wing, as the brush was a little too fine for me to do this easily, and it will be interesting to see how the brush holds its shape after use, and whether I do my usual trick of wrecking it on the cap when I’m in a rush!

Overall, it depends on the retail price-point, but I’d definitely buy again for a daily wear liner.

I usually shy away from liquid liner and doing a winged look as I’m not very steady with my hands. But the fine tip on this eyeliner was really helpful as it gave me more room to fix this a build up thickness.

This eyeliner does dry matte and doesn’t smudge! It lives up to that. I have slightly hooded eyelids and it didn’t transfer at all. But I wouldn’t say the colour is intense. It does take a little bit to get it dark black. I don’t mind that as I prefer a more subtle look.

I would say this is great for people who aren’t confident with applying liquid eyeliner.

It took me many years to finally master the eyeliner wing and I trialled a number of felt tip liners before settling on my current 'go to'. Well.. Who knew I needed this hexagonal beauty in my life. It really does what it proclaims to do and performed beyond my expectations. The shape provides a more secure grip and the pen glides over the lid with ease, making it simple to produce a wing in one stroke. The colour is intense, although I did have to do a second coat on some days. It dries quickly so there was no transfer of product to my upper eyelid area. It has a magnificient staying power- it did not shift, run or smudge; my maximim wearing time being 14 hours. Removal did take a bit longer but entirely worth it for the longevity and intense colour. I absolutely love this eyeliner and will definitely purchase it again. It is so much cheaper than my current eyeliner (by almost 50%) and seriously out performs it.

The title does not lie. Its is so easy to apply even a first time makeup user will look like a pro. I don’t usually use a liner for the top lid and must have been confused when I put my hand up for this trial but nevermind I took on the challenge! So here goes... Packaging is classic Maybelline looking. Colour is pitch black (and it is so highly pigmented it looks like a sharpie!) I really loved the hexigon shape of this liquid pen - so easy to distinguish when rummaging in your makeup drawer! So first use was a bit nervous - it was an at home day so minimal contact with the outside world if it didnt go well lol the tip looked super fine..but they all do until you use it.. But it really was! I was uber conservative and went for the finest application I could achieve - SUCCESS! So easy! Loved it. Wear thoughout the day was okay..I used sunscreen and I think some of it mixed with the liner so got the transfer line above my eyelid crease. Wasnt thrilled with that. Second day was much better, clean face just a little liner - loved the discreet look of it. No transfer and wore well. Following day was a rainy errand day. Did my usual makeup routine and added the liner..halfway through the morning checked my makeup and the liner had transffered again. It does not hold well with moisture. Much of the following trial days were much the same with mixed results..I noticed the days I wore less cream/sunscreen/makeup it held better. Overall I actually really enjoyed trialling this and would recommend it to someone that I think it would work for. For example I would recommend it to my teenage daughter because she’s new to makeup and doesnt wear anything other than a moisturizer sometimes.

I don't typically use a liquid eyeliner so I wasn't too sure how I would go. Well this product was just too easy. First of all, having a hexagonal grip is the best idea. I felt I was in full control with no chance of it slipping. It lived up to it's promise of a smooth glide and the brush tip has no stray hairs that can cause such chaos. I was able to do the perfect line and it didn't smudge. It is very black which I wouldn't usually use, but I did like it. It lasted all day and even though it's waterproof, it came off easier than I expected. When shaken, you can hear there are little beads in it. One thing I didn't like is if you don't click the lid on properly, it pops off completely. The disadvantage of this (as I found out after the first day of my trial) is that the product dries out. I hoped that with a good shake it would come right but sadly this wasn't the case. Overall, I liked the product and would use it again, but take much more care with the lid!

I was lucky enough to be given this product to trial. I like wearing eyeliner. Nothing says 1950s style like a black wing on the eyes. I have tried a few different brands and types of eyeliner over the years, and in various colours, with varying degrees of success.

This eyeliner comes in a blister packet mounted on cardboard, which is fairly standard packaging for Maybelline. The product has a hexagonal shaped pen for easy gripping, and a flexible brush. On the packet it promises “smooth even lines, resists skips and gaps.” The pen itself is completely black with the Maybelline branding in a pink stripe down one of the pen’s six sides. The cap is very stiff, however, and it was a bit tricky to pull off and put back on.

The liner goes on really well. The tip is very flexible, as promised, allowing you to draw very close to the lash line. It also dries extremely fast. Although there was a little bleeding at the inner corner on one eye when I first applied it, the liner dries so fast that there is not much time for it to smudge or bleed beyond that. The liner stayed thick and black without cracking or smudging during the day. It stayed put extremely well even though it is not waterproof. When it came time to remove the liner, it did not come off that easily. I was able to use micellar water to take it off, but I did need to work it over my eye several times in order to completely remove the liner.

Altogether I think this liner is very satisfactory. It is easy to apply, performs well, and does not crack or smudge. I think it ranks right up there with liners produced by higher end brands and that it is a great, affordable alternative to them.

I have been using this for nearly 2wks thanks to the trial team and wow! I've never found a liquid eyeliner that for me is easy to apply as I can be kack-handed at times doing my makeup.

It was so easy to get the perfect cat eye look among others using the hyper easy, which could be due to the fact its hexagonal shape so I wasn't struggling to hold it. As normally one eye looks great and the other is a disaster, but not now.

It was so easy to apply evenly and did what it said about lasting 24hrs, I just washed my face with micellar water to remove it after work.

I'll definitely be getting it again as its made my life easier as I don't feel so awkward trying to apply it.

Not one to use liquid eyeliner normally as I don't like the harsh look of liquid but I must say this one was A-Ok! The packaging is nice and easy to open, even with long nails - the hexagonal shape felt a bit weird at first and I found the lid quite hard to get off, especially after having just used moisturizer. The flexi tip was good for getting a fine wing. I did find that with older eyes that have a bit of crepiness to them it was a little hard to get a smooth line. I found that I would do the wing part only and then used a pencil to fill in the rest. It certainly lasted the distance though and didn't smudge. A great product if you want an eyeliner that isn't going to go anywhere.

It was unfortunate that when I first tried this, the liner had exploded in its packaging leaving a black sticky mess everywhere! However I did get a replacement and can vouch that this liner works (when it’s not exploding in packaging). I wear liquid eyeliner most days because it’s quick, long lasting and easy to use. This maybelline offering definitely ticks these boxes. The hexagonal shape of the pen means you get a steady grip when drawing on your wing liner and it dries quickly to a smudge free finish. Packaging issues aside, this is one for those that want their makeup to stay in place all day and like a Flexi brush tip as opposed to a stiff felt tip liner.
