Maybelline Hyper Easy Liquid Eyeliner Reviews

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!

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.

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.

Not one to use liquid eyeliner normally as I don't like the harsh look of liquid but I must say this one was A-Ok! The packaging is nice and easy to open, even with long nails - the hexagonal shape felt a bit weird at first and I found the lid quite hard to get off, especially after having just used moisturizer. The flexi tip was good for getting a fine wing. I did find that with older eyes that have a bit of crepiness to them it was a little hard to get a smooth line. I found that I would do the wing part only and then used a pencil to fill in the rest. It certainly lasted the distance though and didn't smudge. A great product if you want an eyeliner that isn't going to go anywhere.

I don't typically use a liquid eyeliner so I wasn't too sure how I would go. Well this product was just too easy. First of all, having a hexagonal grip is the best idea. I felt I was in full control with no chance of it slipping. It lived up to it's promise of a smooth glide and the brush tip has no stray hairs that can cause such chaos. I was able to do the perfect line and it didn't smudge. It is very black which I wouldn't usually use, but I did like it. It lasted all day and even though it's waterproof, it came off easier than I expected. When shaken, you can hear there are little beads in it. One thing I didn't like is if you don't click the lid on properly, it pops off completely. The disadvantage of this (as I found out after the first day of my trial) is that the product dries out. I hoped that with a good shake it would come right but sadly this wasn't the case. Overall, I liked the product and would use it again, but take much more care with the lid!

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.
