Maybelline Hyper Easy Liquid Eyeliner Reviews

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.

As the title says, I really wanted to love this! I had high hopes that it would become my new holy grail liquid eyeliner .... mic drop. But unfortunately not. While the packaging is nice in the sense the hexagonal shape allows for a comfortable hold, the liquid tip just didnt do it for me.

The product felt very runny and messy, and I found it difficult to get a good line. The tip is very flexible so perhaps this allowed too much movement, and I just prefer a firmer tip. I also felt the small lines I was doing were not joining up easily but looking staggered instead, no matter how hard I tried.

I prefer my maybelline master precise liquid eyeliner over this any day.

This is officially my new fave liner, it is super intense black that doesn't budge all day.

The tip on this is super precise and a little flexible which makes getting close to the lashline super easy as I tend to lay the liner down and drag it across. The lid fastens tightly so I don't have to stress about the liner drying out or the lid falling off in my makeup bag. Overall such a great product with a fabulous price point.

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.

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!

So I'm a sucker for a good eyeliner and was super excited to trial this one. It's got a cute hexagonal shape and looks really nice. Easy to tell apart from all the other round shaped penciles/liners you might have lying around. The only downside is i can hardly open it. The lid is *really* secure and despite the extra edges from the hexagon there's really not much to grip on and it generally takes me 2-3 attempts to get the lid off, and the force required to pull it can end up with you drawing on your hand when it finally gives. If you have greasy hands from applying primer or foundation then you'll most definitely struggle, and this would be super difficult for anyone with reduced grip strength or only the use of one arm.

The formula itself stays well on either bare lids or on eyeshadow base, it doesn't flake and the brush tip is nice and fine - enabling really nice precision lining. It doesn't smudge and a picture I drew on the back of my hand lasted through a day of washing and a shower - only coming off when I scrubbed it. Easily removed with makeup remover though.

Unfortunately this didnt go so well for me, I'll start with the positive, the packaging was nice and I liked how it was a hexagon as a point of difference. The first day I used it it was ok a bit light for a black liquid eyeliner the application was not bad, and not smudgy and reasonably easy application. However by the second day it had completely dried out and no eyeliner was coming out, like a dried up felt. The lid had been on and it was put away properly but it was like it was empty, the one day that I could use it for it stayed on well and I did go back for another potential use, so if it hadnt dried out I would've done more testing of its stay on abilities!

The feel and weight of this eye liner is great, not to heavy, but not a light weight either. The hex shape also assists holding the eye liner.

The eye liner seems to glide on effortlessly. The tip starts narrow and widens so you can use to your advantage. The tip is a great texture as well, it isn’t too soft that it folds over, nor to hard.

When applying, I occasionally smudged due to blinking too quickly, but generally the eyeliner applied nicely and product stayed on my eyelids all day.

My eyeliner has stayed moist and not dried up at all, so felt like new every time I applied.

This eyeliner is one of the better ones I’ve tried. The hexagonal shape really does help with the application, it feels more steady rather than having a cylindrical tube roll around between your fingers. The liner lasts for a long time and doesn’t budge, although in saying that, you need to have the confidence to quickly draw your liner as it dries super quick! The tip of the liner is well designed as it gives you a super fine tip to create a super clean cat eye and it applies just the right amount of product. For those who regularly wear a cat eye or use a liquid eyeliner, this could be your next staple in your makeup bag!

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.
