If you are looking for a Eyeliner that truly lasts all day, this pencil is the obvious choice. Here’s what you’ll notice:

• Lasts up to 36 hours without smudging
• Waterproof formula, even on oily eyelids
• Intensely pigmented for a rich, sharp line
• Glides on smoothly, even on the waterline
• Sharpenable pencil for a fine or thicker point
• Available in Deep Onyx (black), Smooth Walnut (brown) and Deep Teal (blue-green)
• Suitable for both precise lines and a smokey look

1. Sharpen the pencil before use for a neat, sharp tip.
2. Start from the inner corner and draw a line along your lash line outwards.
3. For a thicker or smokey line, use the wider side of the tip and gently blend with a cotton swab.
4. For the waterline, apply the pencil directly along the mucous membrane, right behind your lashes.
5. Let the liner dry before closing your eyes to help it last longer.

Pair the Maybelline tattoo liner with Lash Sensational Mascara Waterproof Black for a complete eye look. Both are waterproof, so you don’t have to worry about smudging all day.

The line stays put because the formula forms a thin, flexible layer on your skin that doesn’t break down quickly. This is thanks to silicones like dimethicone, which lock in colour without drying out your skin. Microcrystalline wax gives the pencil its firm structure, keeping the line sharp and preventing bleeding.

The result: a gel Eyeliner from Maybelline that colours intensely, doesn’t smudge, and feels comfortable. The Maybelline Tattoo Liner Gel Pencil is for those who want their make-up to simply stay put without having to think about it all day.

Up to 36 hours, based on consumer tests. In practice, most people find the line stays all day without needing touch-ups.

On oily eyelids or with heavy rubbing, longevity may be slightly shorter. Let the liner dry after applying; this helps. Avoid using oily eye cream right before application.

Yes, the pencil is suitable for the waterline. Many users choose the Maybelline tattoo liner specifically for this because of its strong lasting power.

Keep in mind that the waterproof formula is more intense than a regular kajal. If you have sensitive eyes or wear contact lenses, try the pencil carefully first and stop if irritation occurs. Some users report irritation with regular waterline use.

Use a cosmetic sharpener and sharpen slowly with small turning motions. Don’t press too hard.

The tip can break if the pencil is too warm, for example if it’s been in your bag. Put the pencil in the fridge for a few minutes before use. This firms up the core and makes it less likely to break when sharpening. This is a common tip when asking how to best sharpen Maybelline Tattoo Liner Gel Pencil.

The difference lies in the look you want. The Maybelline tattoo liner gel pencil gives a soft, full line that you can easily smudge for a smokey effect. It’s also great for the waterline. The Hyper Precise All Day Liquid Eyeliner is a better choice if you want a sharp, defined line like a neat cat eye. That line can’t be smudged and is less suitable for the waterline.

Want a gel pencil alternative with an automatic mechanism so you don’t need to sharpen? Check out the L'Oréal Infallible Grip 36H. It has the same long-wear promise but no sharpening waste.

The Maybelline Tattoo Liner Gel Pencil is the best choice if you want an affordable, highly pigmented Eyeliner that lasts all day, including on the waterline or oily eyelids.
