My go-to that STAYS ON!
This eyeliner is the ONLY eyeliner that doesn’t run under my eyes. I have oily skin. As I’ve gotten older, for whatever reason, my mascara and eyeliner started to run every time I worn makeup. That was until I found this little gem! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Loved the product until I would twist it and nothing would come out - got like two uses out of it.

Doesn't work, from the minute I opened the package.
I wish I had read the reviews first. The product does not come out when you twist. The contents are just (loudly!) rattling around inside the tube.

Good for waterline application
This is the only eyeliner I have tried that works it stays on pretty long and it glides right on the waterline with no problems pretty dark. I wish it lasted longer though.

Best for tight lining!!! I don’t like it for wings outer eye details, but won’t use anything else for a good tight line!

Thank you for trying our Master Precise Skinny™. We understand how frustrating it is when you try out a new product and it does not perform the way you expect it to. We may suggest only turning the tip end clockwise to ensure it dispenses the product correctly, as it's retractable. Alternatively, we suggest trying out our Unstoppable® Mechanical Eyeliner Pencil; this eyeliner is smudge-proof and waterproof eyeliner that stays put all day.

Will forever use this product
This is my favorite eyeliner. It’s glides on easily and is easy to clean or tighten up with a Q-Tip. It lasts quite a while and is around $10. Target is one of the best priced places to get it

Best tight lining eyeliner!
I love this eyeliner to tight line. It is so skinny I can get it right in my eyelashes. It’s great! I’m older 56 and I don’t use too much eyeliner anymore. But I do like to tight line and this eyeliner is perfect for that! I have both the black and brown.

Awful! Doesn’t twist
I’ve bought two of these and neither will twist up! I yhought maybe the first was a fluke, but it won’t twist! I’ve read directions, followed and even looked up online. This is ridiculous.

Skinny liner
Love it. Great for older women. It allows you to draw a fine line that defines your eyes without looking heavy.

Long lasting
Best long lasting, least expensive, eyeliner! It's small, so you can take it in every purse. I am always hot and sweaty, so I am an expert in long lasting eyeliner.

Don't waste your money on this!
As per directions, I twisted clockwise yet nothing happened. It doesn't matter how much I twist, the liner won't come out. This is a poor design or a scam!!

Twist breaks.
I bought this twice. Loved how it applied, but after a few uses it stopped twisting up. I would like a replacement from Maybelline.

Absolute crap!
If you can actually twist this pencil out of the tube and apply it to your eyes without it crumbling into tiny pieces then you are a genius! I can’t believe that Maybelline actually made this garbage.

Messy ( not in a good way)
I don’t know what changed between my first and second purchase. Possibly the waterproof version becoming the only version available? But this is awful and it slips and slides all over my eyes no matter what I do to prep my lids.
