Master Graphic Eyeliner - Maybelline Review

Afternoon,


I love eyeliner; pencil, gel, liquid,... I've got it all. Think my obsession with eyeliner began when I was studying Ancient Egyptians in Year 3! The dramatic bold "cat-eye" look got me hooked.
Starting 6th Form (when we were allowed to wear our own clothes), I applied liquid eyeliner for a subtle top line and flick everyday without fail. Naturally over time, I became quite good at steadying my hand.

As I browse the many beauty websites and stores, I'm always on the look out for a better eyeliner but over the past few months, nothing has really grabbed my attention. This was until I came across a liquid eyeliner from Maybelline (oddly enough whilst I was doing my weekend food shop).

It's proper title is 'Maybelline Eyestudio Master Graphic Eyeliner', sold at £5.99 (Good price!).

                                                      
I admit. I am a sucker for monochrome designs so of course I was curious about this product. What really attracted me to this item was the applicator, the same as a highlighter! For a girl that likes thick eyeliner, this was just the ticket.
Nice thick broad applicator with narrow defined tip
Applying the product is actually very simple. Because of it's shape, it's easy to create a smooth thick line - you line the bottom of the applicator with your upper lash line and follow. The pen automatically creates a nice smooth curve. For the inner corners, the tip is narrow (and strong enough) to define the area. Sticking to my usual, creating a flick on the outer corner was a lot easier than my other eyeliners. Since the applicator is quite large, again, line the applicator with the outer corner of your eye (at whatever angle you want the flick) and press - this produces a clear line to either build upon or use a guide to fill in the rest of the eyeliner look.


This product is very good quality. You don't need to repeatedly go over areas you've done already to get the colour through and the texture is somewhere in between pure liquid and pencil (similar-ish to a Kohl pencil).

Very much recommend this product!

What type of liner do you prefer? Gel, liquid,...? 

Hope you have a nice day!
