Maybelline Hyper Easy Liquid Eyeliner Reviews

So, this is only the second time I have tried liquid eyeliner so I'm a bit of a novice.

The first time I just couldn't get the line straight, I ended up with it all over my fingers, it was messy and frustrating.

However, this Maybelline eyeliner is much easier to use. As its name suggests, it does glide on super easily and the tip is flexible which makes it easier to glide! I still need a bit of work on getting the line straight and of course trying not to blink in the process, but all in all I did find this eyeliner much better.

The colour is very black, which I don't think suits me as much as a blue or brown would, so I would love it if they bring it out in other colours. I preferred it when I slightly smudged the line to give a more smokey effect rather than the straight clean black line.

So a call out to Maybelline....please make this available in other colours apart from black! If you do, I will totally be buying more!

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 was pretty dubious about whether this eyeliner would actually be easier to put on. I’ve tried lots of eyeliners and I’m just really bad at applying them! Well this one is hands down easier than any others I’ve tried. It doesn’t skip or wobble and is just so easy to use well. The wee black tube is sleek and shaped well to fit in your hand. My one complaint is that it’s very black. It would be great if it came in other colours, like a natural brown. Overall, I’d totally recommend this brand if you have trouble applying eyeliner pencil. You’ll never look back!

This eyeliner is like a pen with a hexagonal shape for a good grip. The liquid is jet black and once dry stays put so long as you don't rub it then it can flake a bit. You can get right up to your lash line with minimal drag and get a tidy fine line. The flexi brush tip could be a bit bigger for a thicker line though you can add more for the look you want to achieve. I prefer a stiffer brush but that's my personal preference. If you make a mistake it's easy to touch up or correct.

The flex tip on this eyeliner is definitely my favorite part of the product, it glides on so nicely! The liquid itself is really pigment and goes on smoothly too. I didn't have any issues with smudging or with the product wearing off during the day, so it was definitely long lasting in my opinion. I liked how dark the eyeliner was which meant I didn't need to go over multiple times as I have with other products.

I did find the cap a little hard to take off at first, but after a couple of times pulling it off it seemed to become a bit smoother. I liked the shape of the casing as it was nice and easy to grip. The packaging is nice and sleek so would make it great for travelling with.

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 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.

This eyeliner works well for wings, it has a flexible tip rather than a hard one so it makes it a lot easier to apply as it flexes with the curves of the eye. Once it dries it does not smudge at all and lasts all day. The tip of the pen is very small so easy to get a very precise line and my eyeliner always looks very clean when using this product. I wasn't in love with the shape of the pen but doesn't matter too much as you never hold an eyeliner for too long that it would be painful or anything for the hand.
