Beauty Blurbs: Maybelline Master Precise Ink Pen Eyeliner

Hi y’all. You know Maybelline has been knockin’ it outta the park for me lately, so I picked up their Maybelline Master Precise Ink Pen Eyeliner in black awhile ago. I’ve never been the best with liquid eyeliner, so I was hoping in pen form I may have more control and not end up looking like Kesha. Each time I try the winged liner look, my lack of control means I just keep going and going and adding and adding until I’ve got this look going on.

If that’s your goal, more power to ya. It’s not mine. Anyway, the Maybelline Master Precise eyeliner has a super fine tip that allows for thinner and more accurate application.

The black is super rich, and it applies so easily. I have so much control that I think if I was artistic, I could recreate a miniature Mona Lisa on my eyelids. I mean that would be so weird, but you get it. Lots of control.

It glides on very smooth and doesn’t snag on my eyelid at all. The eyeliner stays on all day long regardless of the heat or humidity. I haven’t experienced any smearing or irritation each time I’ve used it. Also, apparently I refuse to properly shape or groom my eyebrows, so y’all can just deal with that in these close-up eyeball pictures. I’m very pleased that the eyeliner hasn’t started to dry out at all, as well. I was worried with the marker-like tip it would dry out quickly, but I haven’t had any issues.

I’m so happy I purchased Maybelline’s Master Precise Ink Pen Eyeliner, and I can’t wait to try a winged line soon! Maybe I’ll wait until Halloween though in case I do end up looking Kesha-like. Then I can just throw on a leotard and some body glitter, and I’ll be on my way!

Anyway, buy it, love it, let me know what you think!

Beauty Blurbs: Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner in Onyx

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been using Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner in Onyx as my go-to black eyeliner. It’s been around forever, and I can see why. It glides on easily without tugging on my eyelid, which makes application a breeze. If you’re new to eyeliner or wanting to try it out, I think the Unstoppable Eyeliner is the perfect tool because it goes on so easily.

I always use it along my top lash line, and I often use it to line my lower waterline as well. The formula doesn’t irritate my eyes regardless of how long I have it on (though I never sleep in my makeup and neither should you!). It also never smudges onto my eyelid regardless of what eyeshadow I’m wearing, which I’ve encountered with other eyeliners.

Another great feature is that you simply swivel it up to “sharpen” it. I hate eyeliners that I have to sharpen with a pencil sharpener because I always feel like I’m going to get a splinter in my eye or something. Anyone else? No? Just me? Ok. Anyway…the width of the liner is great for creating thin lines, but it can easily be layered for a more dramatic look.

Adding Maybelline’s Unstoppable eyeliner to my eye routine really makes my eyes stand out, and I love that I can count on it to stay put and not smudge all day. At around $5.99 most places, it’s a great purchase in my opinion. Hope you agree!
