Review: Maybelline's waterproof liquid eyeliner


My first review will be on Maybelline's waterproof liquid eyeliner. I haven't used many liquid liners in the past, but I think this one is definitely one of the best drug store liners out there! Even when there's no more product left, the brush is still functional. The brush isn't tricky at all, it's pretty easy to draw a nice line. It goes on really smoothly, and you can make your lines thin or thick. I don't think this eyeliner smudges, but some people have claimed it does. Or maybe I just haven't been noticing it. From my experience, it doesn't crack or flake off at all. It stays on pretty much for the whole day, so the staying power is great. I got this eyeliner in black, and the color is pretty dark. It doesn't come out gray or any other weird colors. It's dark enough for my liking. I tend to cry a lot in movies, and this eyeliner hasn't failed me yet.
I'm not sure how well this product goes on my bottom lash line, because I only put it on the top of my lids. In terms of getting it off, I think it's a piece of cake. Some people have complained about how hard it is to get waterproof makeup off, but with this liner all you really need is makeup remover and it comes off easily. Most of the time I would use Maybelline's moisturizing eye makeup remover (for waterproof eye makeup) and then L'oreal's skin genesis pore minimizing gel cleaner to remove my makeup. I will do a review on those in the near future.
Overall, I really like this eyeliner, I think the price is pretty good too. Most of the time it's about $8-$10CDN. I don't think I'll be buying other liners for a while, since I'm extremely satisfied with this one. I'm on my second bottle already, and I'm definitely going to repurchase once I run out. I would give this product 4.5/5 stars, because nothing is really THAT perfect (although this product is pretty close to it).
