broke on first use
broke immediately, but it was good for smudging. i liked the gel, but the fact that it doesn’t sharpen and doesn’t roll up means if the tip breaks immediately then it’s just ruined
From Maybelline Consumer Care team
Hello restock! We’re sorry the Tattoo Studio Gel Pencil broke immediately and left you unable to use it, though we’re glad you liked the gel and its blendability. Thank you for sharing your feedback about the pencil design.

Warning
This makes my eyes red, irritated, and swollen. On a quick scroll I am seeing at least one other review saying the same!

I don’t understand how this liner has such good reviews. It melted off my face in a few hours.
From Maybelline Consumer Care team
Hi there! We're sorry to hear that Tattoo Studio Eyeliner didn't stay put for you! While it's designed for long-lasting, waterproof wear, natural oils or rich moisturizers can sometimes cause gel formulas to break down. To help lock it in place, try setting it with a tiny bit of translucent powder or a matching eyeshadow.

To spend all your money on sharpening it into noth
Waste of money you'll spend all of your time sharpening it down. Trying to get a tip that is usable and then realize that even once you get a usable tip that the product itself is a waste, it's does not leave any product on your face. And it just breaks off over and over again. You get 0 results and a 100% breakage.

Good
I've used this product for a few years and love it, however when sharpening the pencil the inner liner stick falls out and is difficult to keep in place after.

This works! 10/10
Did not disappoint. Seen this on a tiktok had to try it. Put it on at 8a after work ran to do errands and then went to work out. When I got home before my shower I looked in the mirror and the liner was still in tack.

Impressive
I liked the texture and the results once applied. First I did not understand how to lengthen the core hard gel . I was very frustrated thought that I was taken advantage off. I read many reviews which were very negative . I was ready to throw it away until I decided to sharpen the crayon with a cosmetic sharpener and then a perfect crayon emerged. The Maybelline people had created the ideal system because before the gel and the wood holding the gel did not have the same texture so the gel broke easily now with the plastic material holding the gel is very similar to the gel itself so no breaking . Génial. A great great pencil, the best I ever had and I had pencil from upscale brands . This one finally delivers the perfect product .

Ok
I have used the tattoo studio line since it came , the last 3 pencils have lost the liner stick lead inside of it each time . Some break off when you sharpen and one even had the entire thing come out of the pencil.

How does the point extend?
How do I get the gel stick to extend. It has worn down And is no longer usable. I have tried twisting it At the base to bring out more of the gel pen but nothing happens. Please advise.
From Maybelline team
Hello! We are so sorry to hear you've had a frustrating experience trying to get more product out of your Tattoo Studio Sharpenable Gel Pencil and we want to help clear up the confusion. While it may look like a plastic twist-up, this pencil is actually designed to be sharpened just like a traditional wooden pencil! We recommend using a high-quality cosmetic sharpener to smoothly shave down the outer casing, which will safely reveal more of the creamy gel formula and keep your tip nice and precise. We have shared your feedback regarding the packaging design with our team and hope this tip helps you get back to creating your favorite eye looks. XO

purchased this and after applying even with a primer it smears everywhere and within an hour has worn off
From Maybelline Consumer Care team
Hi there! We are so sorry to hear that our Tattoo Studio Gel Pencil Eyeliner smeared and wore off so quickly, especially since this waterproof formula is designed for long-lasting wear. We want you to get the crisp, smudge-resistant lines you expect! To help this intensely pigmented gel formula lock in place, we highly recommend allowing the eyeliner to fully "set" for about 30 seconds after application before blinking or blending. Additionally, ensuring your primer is set with a quick dusting of translucent powder beforehand can help absorb any excess moisture or oils on the eyelid that might otherwise break down the gel.

Worst eyeliner ever!
This eyeliner is definitely waterproof but not smudge proof. I wore it to a concert and looked like a raccoon by the end of the night. I had eyeliner residue for two days. It was so hard to remove. I do not recommend!
From Maybelline Consumer Care team
Hello Joely! We are so sorry to hear that our Tattoo Studio Gel Pencil smudged during your concert and was so difficult to remove afterward. While this waterproof formula is designed to deliver up to 36 hours of fade-resistant wear, extreme humidity, sweat, or contact with natural skin oils during an active night out can sometimes cause the gel pigments to transfer. To lock the eyeliner in place and prevent any smudging next time, we highly recommend dusting a tiny bit of translucent setting powder or a matching matte eyeshadow right over the liner once applied to set the gel. For effortless and clean removal of this long-wear formula without leaving a residue, try holding a cotton pad saturated with an oil-based makeup remover over closed eyes for ten seconds to fully break down the waterproof barrier before gently wiping it away.

Not the best designed product.
Definitely not one of your best products. The appearance of the pencil is deceptive and confusing. After reading multiple reviews I was finally able to get it sharpened. More informative instructions would have been helpful.
From Consumer Care Center team

We have passed your comments along to our team to help us improve, and we hope this helps you continue to enjoy your favorite eye looks. XO
