FAQs
Does the Maybelline Tattoo Liner Gel Pencil need sharpening?
Yes, as a gel pencil, it will require a cosmetic sharpener to maintain a fine point for precise application. Ensure you use a sharpener designed for makeup pencils to avoid damaging the tip.
How do I remove the Maybelline Tattoo Liner Gel Pencil?
Due to its long-lasting formula, an oil-based makeup remover, micellar water, or a bi-phase eye makeup remover is recommended for effective removal. Apply to a cotton pad and gently press against the eyelid for a few seconds before wiping away.
Is this eyeliner waterproof?
Info needed: The product description highlights 'long lasting' and 'stays put' but does not explicitly state if it is waterproof.
Can I use this eyeliner on my waterline?
While many gel pencils can be used on the waterline, for specific product safety and suitability, it's always best to refer to the product packaging or Maybelline's official guidelines.
How long does the eyeliner last on the eyes?
The 'Tattoo Liner' name and 'long lasting' description indicate it is designed for extended wear, typically throughout the day. Individual wear time may vary based on skin type, climate, and activity level.
Troubleshooting
Eyeliner not gliding smoothly.
Ensure your eyelid is clean and free of excess oils or powder. If the pencil tip seems dry, gently warm it on the back of your hand or sharpen to expose a fresh layer.
Color payoff is not intense enough.
For a bolder and more intense color, apply a second layer after the first has had a moment to set. Ensure the pencil tip is not dull, sharpen if needed.
Eyeliner smudges after application.
Allow the gel formula a few seconds to fully set after application. Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes immediately after applying. A light dusting of translucent powder over the liner can also help to set it further.
Difficulty achieving a precise line.
For maximum precision, ensure your pencil is freshly sharpened to a fine point. Use short, controlled strokes rather than trying to draw a single continuous line. You can also use an angled brush to blend and sharpen the line before it sets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions To get started, ensure your eyelid area is clean and primed, if desired, to create an even canvas. Twist or sharpen the pencil to expose a fresh tip. - Application: For a basic line, start from the inner corner of your eye and draw small, connected strokes along your lash line to the outer corner. For a winged look, extend the line slightly upwards and outwards from the outer corner, then connect it back to your main lash line. - Compatibility: This gel pencil is suitable for all skin types. Always perform a patch test if you have known sensitivities to makeup products. - Care: Always replace the cap securely after each use to prevent the gel formula from drying out. If the pencil becomes dull, use a cosmetic sharpener to restore a fine point. Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat.
