Don’t waste your money! So dry and smudges too easy
1 reply from Maybelline Consumer Care team - 1 month ago
Hello Tianna! We are sorry to hear that the Tattoo Studio Ink Pen did not provide the bold, waterproof precision you were expecting. If the tip feels dry, we suggest storing the pen horizontally or cap-side down to allow the high-impact ink to consistently saturate the felt tip for a smoother glide. For the most durable, smudge-proof results, it is best to apply the liner to a clean, oil-free eyelid and allow it to set completely for several seconds before blinking or applying other eye products. To keep the formula performing like new, always ensure the cap is clicked firmly into place after each use to prevent the ink from drying out prematurely. If you find the ink flow is still light, gently wiping the tip with a damp tissue can remove any buildup of eyeshadow or powder that may be blocking the ink, allowing for a more intense and seamless application.

This is my go-to eyeliner for years! It lasts for hours and well into the next day if you're one of those people who sleep in their makeup (I know I know)

A mess
The liner itself is okay, but holding onto the product leaves a MESS on your hands. The outside packaging flakes off, and is so hard to clean up off of your face. I’ve had to wrap it in a tissue just to apply it. Fix the packaging!

Dries well, but too fast to smudge. Solid lasting power. A good value.

Blech
I bought this a day ago and it’s been nothing but dry and hard to apply. I’ve tried resting it with the tip ok the bottom for product to fall down but it didn’t help at all.

Smudges off quickly
I have been looking for a replacement for Maybelline's discontinued Ulta Liner which stayed on all day with no smudging. I tried this product and it glides on wonderfully but within a few hours starts smudging off onto my eyelids. It is a terrible product.

Not long lasting
Smudges after a few hours even with a eyelid primer. Not a good replacement for the Ulta liner.

Maybelline Tattoo Studio Ink Pen
I loved how it goes on smoothly and is easy to correct if you make a mistake. The last one I bought lasted me a good three to four months. I love it and would never use anything else.

Target gave me the wrong color
I didn’t like that I purchased a BROWN eyeliner, and the person who filled my order at Target, gave me a BLACK one instead. It was supposed to be a gift that was traveling internationally today, so I don’t even have time to exchange anymore. Therefore, I will return it. I have no opinion about the product itself, for I didn’t even open it.

Super easy application.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At my age my hand shakes a little bit and the tip seems to know where I'm going. Wallah! the tip glides and gives me a line with just the right depth and curve i need.

Great formula, poorly made.
The formula is highly pigmented and has solid staying power. It definitely lives up to being waterproof and smudgeproof. However, I am very disappointed in the mechanics of the pen. I have only had it a short while and it started leaking! I am extremely gentle with my items and store it sideways. I've never dropped it or aggressively pulled the cap off. I'm uncertain how it could have started leaking other than it's faulty and assembled poorly. It's leaked so bad (and unexpectedly) that it smeared my application when I used it last night. If the pen didn't leak, I would give it 5 stars!

Bad formula aka literally DRY, false advertisement
Literally bought this eyeliner yesterday evening, opened it today to apply and it’s dry! I tried warming it up with my hands, shaking it, leaving it vertical to try to get product out, and I was only able to get a “Smokey effect” at best. Not really the “tattoo” ink solid application I was looking for/what was advertised. Packaging also implies a felt tip style applicator, but it actually has a brush tip, so more false advertising and dissatisfaction. I’ve been using Maybelline eyeliners for 10+ years now, but this is a “picked the wrong girl at the wrong time” kind of moment, so I’ll be switching brands out of principle and spite. Spent my last few bucks of my budget between paychecks just to basically get scammed. So bummed.

Favorite product, but the cap…
This has been my favorite eyeliner for probably over a year. I have oily hooded eye lids and it still stays on all day still, and the brush tip is my favorite. My biggest problem is that I’ve had to buy 6 of these in 2 months because the cap keeps popping off as soon as I put it back on. Just when I thought I have it on there, it pops off and dries out, gets all over the place, and I have to replace it after less than a week. At one point I stopped buying it for a few weeks because I thought maybe it was a manufacturing error.Can we please fix the packaging on these? I really don’t want to switch eyeliner pens.

Terrible pigment
I used this once, shook it up so there would be ink, and it dragged on my skin, it barely left any pigment and eventually was pulling ink off my face. This is a horrible product, definetly do not recommend.

Actually is waterproof.
I love how easy it is to control the line. It's truly waterproof. No smudging or running when my tired eyes get watery.
