Maybelline Master Precise eyeliner Review

I just recently got this liner and can already tell that its quickly becoming one of my favourites. My current fave liner is the Kat Von D tattoo liner which has a similar brush hair tip but isn't as precise. This liner has a short tip which is just brush hairs that come together into a super sharp point. Brush hair liners are my favourite because as you're drawing the line above your Lashes, they fan out to create a smooth line. There is no need to press a button, a thin black fluid comes out of the tip by itself. The tube is a thin, black tube which is typical of a liner such as this. The liquid itself is nice an black, making an opaque line without having to go over the same spot over and over. I love this liner, it allows me to get a super sharp line without too much mess. I can't comment on how long the liner lasts for as I have only had it a few weeks.

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 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.

At this stage this liner is the best I have ever tried. I brought this pen quite some time ago and it's still going strong. When I purchased this I also got the maybelline gel liner (there was a 20% off or something at Countdown) while the gel liner is a fav as well it's since dried out but not this pen!

This pen has the finest tip I have come across in a liner pen. It took some getting use to but it's great as you can really get it into your lash line while making it look like you have no liner on as you can create such a fine line.

It's pigmented and dries quickly, doesn't flake and lasts on my oily lids all day without smudging.

I love creating winged liner with this pen as you can get the lines and tip of the wing so perfect.

Best of all it's affordable!

If you are new to liquid liners I think this product is a great one to try. It's outdone many I have tried including MAC, Stila and Bourjois.
