The Maybelline Tattoo Liner Gel Pencil is designed for both quick, everyday definition and more dramatic looks. Its gel formula ensures a smooth application, making it suitable for lining both the upper and lower lash lines.
For a Defined Lash Line: Gently pull your eyelid taut. Starting from the inner corner, draw small, connected dashes along your upper lash line, then connect them into a single, smooth line. For a softer look, you can gently smudge the line with a brush or your fingertip immediately after application.
Tightlining: For a subtle enhancement, lift your upper lash line and gently apply the pencil to your upper waterline, filling in the gaps between your lashes.
Smoked Out Look: Apply a thicker line along your upper lash line and immediately use a smudge brush to blend it upwards and outwards before it sets for a smoky effect.
Winged Eyeliner: Create a small dot where you want the wing to end, then connect it back to your upper lash line. Fill in the shape. For a sharper wing, use a small angled brush or a cotton swab with makeup remover to clean up the edges after it has set slightly.
For optimal control and precision, hold the pencil close to the tip. Apply in short, gentle strokes rather than one long drag. This helps prevent breakage and ensures an even line.
This gel pencil requires minimal setup and is designed for straightforward use.
Remove the cap. The pencil is ready to use immediately.
The Tattoo Liner Gel Pencil pairs well with various eye makeup products. Apply it after eyeshadow and before mascara for a complete eye look.
It is generally safe for contact lens wearers, but always consult with your optometrist if you experience irritation.
Storage: Always replace the cap tightly after each use to prevent the gel formula from drying out. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Sharpening: If your pencil is not a twist-up type (Info needed: confirm if this specific pencil is retractable or needs sharpening), use a high-quality cosmetic sharpener. Sharpen gently to avoid excessive product loss or breakage. For best results, chill the pencil in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes before sharpening to firm up the gel.
Hygiene: To prevent eye infections, avoid sharing your eyeliner. If you experience any eye irritation, discontinue use.
