If your eye is scratched, stop using all eye cosmetics and go to an ophthalmologist immediately. Never apply this product in a moving vehicle.

Q: What Shades Does Tattoo Studio Longwear Gel Pencil Eyeliner Come In?
A: Tattoo Studio Gel Eyeliner Pencil is available in 16 intense, pigment-rich gel eyeliner shades, including shimmer eyeliner shades, color-shifting, duo-chrome eyeliner shades, and ma tte eyeliner shades. Shades: Aurora Flip: green and purple duo-chrome eyeliner, Stardust Chrome: purple and white duo-chrome eyeliner, Deep Onyx: matte black eyeliner, Metallic Nights: gray shimmer eyeliner, Intense Charcoal: matte gray eyeliner, Bold Brown: matte dark brown eyeliner, Smooth Walnut: matte warm brown eyeliner, Hunter Green: deep green shimmer eyeliner, Emerald Lights: golden brown shimmer eyeliner, Striking Navy: matte navy blue eyeliner, Rich Amethyst: matte purple eyeliner, Ultra Pink: matte pink eyeliner, Arctic Skies: matte light blue eyeliner, Galactic Cobalt: matte cobalt blue eyeliner, Polished White: matte white eyeliner, Biscotti Cream: matte beige taupe eyeliner.

A: The waterproof gel eyeliner pencil comes in shimmer, chrome, and matte finishes, with 4 shimmer shades that glitter in the light, 2 duo-chrome shades with color-shifting properties, and 10 matte shades with intense, single-color pigment.
Q: Is Tattoo Studio Longwear Gel Pencil Eyeliner Waterproof?
A: Tattoo Studio Longwear Gel Eyeliner Pencil is waterproof with resistance to tears, humidity, and sweat for 36 hours of long-lasting wear.
Q: How Long Does Tattoo Studio Gel Eyeliner Pencil Last?
A: Tattoo Studio Gel Eyeliner Pencil lasts up to 36 hours for long lasting all-day and all-night looks.
Q: Is Tattoo Studio Gel Eyeliner Pencil Suitable For Oily Eyelids?
A: Tattoo Studio Gel Eyeliner Pencil is suitable for oily eyelids thanks to its waterproof, smudge-proof, and sebum-resistant formula. With up to 36-hour wear, the gel pencil sets quickly to a budge-resistant finish, which helps this waterproof gel eyeliner pencil to stay in place even on lids prone to oiliness. To further increase longevity and prevent creasing, we recommend using an eyeshadow primer or setting powder.
Q: What Makes Tattoo Studio Gel Eyeliner Pencil Sebum Resistant?
A: Sebum resistant makeup products like Tattoo Studio Gel Eyeliner Pencil are not easily affected by oils, including the skin’s natural sebum. This resistance offers our gel liner superior adhesion and longer lasting wear as well as resisting makeup breakdown or creasing.
Q: Does Tattoo Studio Eyeliner Pencil Fade or Flake During the Day?
A: Our gel liner pencil does not fade or flake during the day, for vibrant pigment up to 36 hours.
Q: Can You Blend or Smudge the Liner for a Smoky Eye Look?
A: You can blend and smudge the gel liner for a smokey eye look if you smudge immediately after application. Once dry, the smudge proof eyeliner formula will resist blending, so be sure to smoke out your look right away. For an equally impressive and long-lasting alternative, you might also want to try our Tattoo Studio Automatic Gel Eyeliner that has a built-in sponge end to create a blendable look.

Q: How do you extend the tip. Does it twist?

submitted by tuesday - 8 years ago
  • A: Kim’ ty it j hmm kku

    submitted byJ - 1 year ago
  • A: Hi Tuesday! We recommend sharpening this eye liner using a standard cosmetics pencil sharpener. Hope this helps!

    submitted byTarget Beauty Consulting - 8 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: I figured it out! No, it doesn't twist. You remove the plastic outer coating covering the inner pigment core using a conventional pencil sharpener like sharpening a traditional eyebrow pencil. I too was looking to twist it out but it isn't mechanical in any way and the butt-end cap is misleading. There could be a smudge tip in there to make use of it! Pretend it is a real wood coated pencil and stick it in a sharpener. Problem solved: new pointy sharp tip, more pigment, less handle.

    submitted byCMR - 1 year ago
  • A: Love how they’re not answering this question. People don’t want to know how to sharpen it, they want to know why it doesn’t extend. It runs out too fast and there’s not enough product for the price.

Q: How do you sharpen the tattoo studio gel pencil liner?

submitted by Ryane Sharp - 7 years ago
  • A: I thought for sure this was not sharpenable. It looks like an entirely plastic pencil. However, I put it into a regular eyeliner sharpener, and it turns out it is wooden!

    submitted byemilym - 8 months ago
  • A: I found the best sharpener is the revlon one, the maybelline one oddly doesn’t work well with the material the outer pencil is made of. I was about to stop using this eyeliner that I love so much because sharpening was impossible - revlon makes a sharpener for these pencils that have that harder outside shell of pencil and they sharpen beautifully!! Now I have alllll the colors of this eyeliner!!

    submitted byCarebear - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi Ryane! We recommend using the Maybelline Expert Tools Dual Sharpener. You want to gently turn the pencil 3 or 4 times without applying too much pressure. After sharpening, remove all shavings from the blade edge. The pencil should be sharpened frequently to avoid having to apply pressure while sharpening. Hope this helps!

Q: Love the way this pencil goes on but can the tip be extended or is that small point all that is there?

submitted by Dee - 5 years ago
  • A: Hi Dee! This eye liner does sharpen to a very small point. As you use in between sharpening the point will dull out a bit. We recommend using the Maybelline Expert Tools Dual Sharpener to sharpen. You want to gently turn the pencil 3 or 4 times without applying too much pressure. After sharpening, remove all shavings from the blade edge. The pencil should be sharpened frequently to avoid having to apply pressure while sharpening. Hope this helps!

    submitted byTarget Beauty Consulting - 5 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: Hi there Dee! The TattooStudio Sharpenable Gel Pencil Longwear Eyeliner does not swivel, its sharpened (see packaging). These new generation gel liners deliver great, long lasting color but they need a sharp blade and gentle touch to sharpen well. Despite the plastic-coated appearance of the eyeliner, it can be sharpened with any makeup sharpener. Don’t try to push the pencil into the sharpener. At the slightest resistance, you’re in far enough. Gently turn and shave off a thin layer to reveal more liner. Pushing the pencil in too far will cause the blade to grab too much of the resin, the pencil won’t sharpen well that way. If its been awhile since you bought a new sharpener, you’ll be surprised the difference a fresh blade can make.

    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

    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.

    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 .

    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 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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Hello! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our Tattoo Studio Sharpenable Longwear Waterproof Gel Eyeliner Pencil. We are so sorry to hear that the pencil packaging was deceptive and confusing, and we truly appreciate your feedback regarding the need for more informative sharpening instructions on our packaging. Since this liner is formulated with a creamy gel texture wrapped in a sharpenable casing, we recommend using a high-quality cosmetic sharpener to smoothly shave down the pencil and reveal a fresh, precise tip. 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
