I might have got a bad batch but I have had two of these now brand new in packages and have had the same result - the black which applies more like a soft grey is incredibly dragging and patchy, and the shade vibrant violet which I think is a US only shade which was very lightly pigmented and hard to apply you had to build up the layers but once you went back over the line the pencil would remove the previous layer. Both break really easily and the tip constantly breaks off. Not impressed with these at all and they are actually quite expensive compared to what you get from a higher end brand pencil for only a few dollars more.

This sadly was a big waste of $20. It is super hard and not at all smooth. Difficult to apply to lids and impossible on the waterline. It delivers pretty good colour payoff on the lids (if you manage to get a good application) but it really is impossible to get it to look black on the waterline. I really don't have anything good to say about this. The packaging is good but what use is that when the product inside is no good. Spend the extra $4 and get the Too Faced Perfect Eyes.
Tips: If you have already wasted $20 on this and want some use out of it, heat the product carefully with a match or lighter to melt it a wee bit before use. This helps with eyelid application but not waterline.
I got this maybelline master liner in the shade black as at the time i wanted a wind up eyeliner to apply to my waterline. It stood out to me as i was buying it as it said it was smudge proof and waterproof for 16 hours, i should not have believed the 16 hours claim as it is not true! i am not of a fan of this liner it was difficult to apply on the waterline and not smooth at all. I didn't get much colour on the waterline, it looked more brown then black and wore off with in the hour into my lashes, it was just hopeless. There was nothing wrong with the packaging, it is black with simple white writing on it to tell you what it is and it winded up smoothly. I just ended up chucking this out, it wasn't worth the $20 that i payed and i was left so disappointed as it didn't live up to any of it's claims. I would not recommend this to a friend. Don't waste your money on this eyeliner!
Doing a farmers order one day these were really cheap, so I thought oh why not? I got one in the shade brown because all my eyeliners were black, blue, green and purple. And well sometimes black is too harsh and sometimes I don't want colourful eyeliner, and a brown eyeliner was on my need to get list.
When it arrived I couldn't wait to try it. First thing I love about this is the fact it's a no sharpen pencil, so you can just twist the top to reveal more of the liner. But that is where the love ends for me.
The colour is very dark brown almost black, then when I went to apply it, it went from master liner to master fail!! It is so thick and waxy I couldn't get it to apply evenly. I had to push down quite hard just to get a touch of colour so then cue red eyes. I even tried cutting the tip off then rubbing the tip on paper to get a bit of a point and try again but nope I had the same dragging and waxy feel.
So disappointed this eyeliner is destined for the bin unless I can find some miracle way to get it to apply otherwise it's back to black, blue, green and purple.
On one of my shopping adventures I picked up this eye liner. At the moment I'm obsessed with collecting eye liners. I'm glad because I can finally throw out all my old ones. Maybelline can be found anywhere . I like that I can easily access this.
The shape of this pencil is quite thin. I got dark brown because I wanted a change from Black . Unfortunately I didn't swatch this in store. I'm wishing I had now. The pigmentation of this pencil is non existent.
When I first tried applying I always swatch it on the back of the hand. It was really patchy. Tried applying it to my lower lash line , still no colour. I couldn't get any good colour on it.
I was disapointed with this pencil . I'm glad I got it at a bargain price. There's definately differences between maybellines pencils. I can't reccomend this one to anyone either.
This product was incredibly difficult to work with, and smudged constantly. It's so creamy that it is impossible to get a good line. It irritated my eyes and caused them to water up for hours after. By the end of a few hours, I looked like I'd been crying at a funeral.
i have asian lids so the best eyeliner for me is liquid- not too thick and not too thin so that it looks invisible
Needed more depth of colour , not my favorite. Smudges and runs abit during the day. Not what I need at all. Unfortunately it's a no from me ,I wouldn't buy this again.
I use this occasionally on my top lid. Its not amazing nor is it rubbish, I find it lasts quite well and smudges out easily for a smokey look.
It does not work well on the waterline, I dont recommend using it on the lower lash line either as it smudges and clings to the lower lashes.
Packaging is nice, lid stays on and price wise it is affordable.
If you're looking to achieve a nice sleek line, this is not the liner you want. It's a cream liner, and it's so creamy that it just smudges all over the place. If you were to smudge it out yourself for a "smoky" look it might work out, but I get the feeling it'd just smudge itself even further and make a huge mess of itself.
The few positives about this liner would be that it's beautifully pigmented and glides on easily due to being so creamy, which is a shame once you see it smudge almost instantly.
