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.

I've used this product for a few years after being given my first one, I was never any good at applying eyeliner and this is the easiest one I have ever tried. Great for a smoky look as it smudges nicely - perfect for blending those mistakes while getting the hang of eyeliner as well! I love how it is self sharpening as well.
Tips: Great for smoky eyes as it smudges and blends easily.
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.
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.
This is a great eyeline for a smudged out line look. Its very pigmented and has very good lasting power. Its not good for lining the water line as i found it disapared after about half an hour. But to smudge along the lash line for a less dramatic look than liquid i think it does a pretty good job :)
This liner us one of my favourite products!! It is really simple to use, gliding on smoothly with excellent depth of colour. I use the Black on my upper lids with a cat's eye flick, so easy to achieve this look with this dream pencil!! The brown is lovely too, and also delivers rich colour. It manages to stay put really well too, however I do find myself reapplying to touch up after a few hours. I totally recommend this liner to newbies to makeup and seasoned users alike. It really is a staple in my makeup bag and I find myself replacing if before it's quite used up so as to never be without it....so I'm a little obsessed :-)
I quite liked this eyeliner. It is very creamy and easy to apply. You can manipulate it and smudge it to create the exact look that you are going for. I bought this eyeliner in black- it is a very pigmented deep black which is great if you are going for a more stand out/dramatic look; great to wear for a night out. I like that it is a wind up pencil so there no need to sharpen it. It is waterproof to a point but I wouldn't say smudgeproof, it transferred easily to the area under my eyes. I think the price is decent, although I was expecting a bit more product for a price (I used it up quite quickly). I would buy this product again as it is easy to use and it the quality is good.
Tips: If you are going smoky eye look this would be perfect as it is easy to smudge.
I love this eyeliner! Confession. I'm ham fisted at applying eye liner. It ends up patchy and uneven and a hot mess. More often than not I end up looking like I've just woken up after a three day bender. However this eyeliner is so easy for me to use - I have it in black and it simply glides on. I'm not one for thick eyeliner and I find I can control the depth of colour. And if I stuff it up and make some bits thick and others thin? It's beautifully blendable with the help of a cotton tip. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who's new to lining their eyes or who's all but given up on ever being able to ;)
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 LOVE this pencil. Haven't been using it much longer than a week (everyday) but it is amazing. I'm using it in the colour "made of steel" which is a silver liner and its incredible. highly pigmented and I use it on my bottom water line and it just looks amazing, makes my eye makeup "pop". It has great staying power and am able to wear it all day without re-applying and washing off simply without any issues. I know that white liner is a fav at the moment so il be trying that next but this will now be a forever go to in my books. the glides on easily and smoothly so theres no bulky looking bits around my eyes and its easily blendable for when wanting a "smudged" out look. So happy with this pencil and Im the type that isnt a fan of pencil eyeliner but Maybelline has done an amazing job creating this one. Will for sure be keeping an eye out for the other colours aswell.
