Rated 1 out of 5 by from Disappointed I use To wear this eyeliner all the time. I had been using a different brand and decided to go back to the Maybelline because of the cost. I am so disappointed. It smears and doesn’t last. It’s going in the trash. Waste of money.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from The best eyeliner The chestnut brown was the only color made by any company that worked with reddish blond hair. Bring it back. Smooth to apply and lasted for the day. Easy to remove.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from I'm so disappointed! I love Maybelline products and have been using them for years but I'm so disappointed in this eyeliner. I'm all for an eyeliner that can be easily smudged for a smokey look but this comes off too easily and I constantly have to check my eyes in the mirror to wipe off liner that migrated away from my eye area. By the end of the day it looks like I didn't put any on. Hopefully it can be improved. Until then I'll have to try another liner!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Rich pigment but awful in wear. The price is great, the pigment is there, but the wear of this eyeliner is awful. When I was younger I felt like this eyeliner was rich and long lasting, bu now it's just a rich black mess within SECONDS! I would understand if it began to transfer to the under eye within a few hours time but it's like once applied its already transferred.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Miss my blue line to define color Bring it back! I have used line to define eye liner for years in the blue color. You have stopped making the blue BRING IT BACK PLEASE. ITS IS ALL I WEAR AND NO OTHER PRODUCT COMPARES.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from THE BEST I have been using this eyeliner for years and it is by far my favorite. I have tried other brands and nothing touches this eye liner. I am so so upset that stores no longer sell it and if anyone at Maybelline actually reads this I would love it if you would let me know how I can get my hands on more of this eye liner in slate gray.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Eyeliner used as eye brow pencil I have red hair and I used the chestnut brown eyeliner as an eyebrow pencil and it works wonderful. Now that you have discontinued it, I'm having a hard time finding a good eye brow pencil to match my hair.

Was the define a line eyeliner discontinued in the chestnut brown color? I previously purchased it at Target, but now they only carry shades of black. I had the same issue at Walmart and Dillons. 

Asked by: Sara24
Yes this is so sad that I cant get this item anymore, I had too go to the beauty store to find a similar shade. I wish they would bring back the blue mascara and eyeliner also...

Asked by: Paula Wentworth
We are sorry to tell you that our Define A Line in blue has been discontinued. We definitely understand how upsetting having your favorite shade discontinued can be. We will pass to our team that there is a demand to see this color brought back. We would also like to suggest that you check out our Lasting Drama® Matte Lacquer Gel Eyeliner. This product has some amazing blue shades which we think will be perfect for you! You can see both beautiful blue shades here: http://tinyurl.com/ycjapne4. We hope that you give it a try and let us know what you think!

Why are there no shades of eyeliner for blondes? I have used define-a-line chestnut for years but all I find now is black and very dark brown. Not very flattering for a natural daytime look. Would be fine for going out but I need some for office wear.

I can't find the define a line blue...has it been discontinued?

Asked by: AmyJ 1970
Hi AmyJ 1970! Unfortunately the shades Navy Blue and Believe in Blue in our Define-A-Line Eyeliner were both discontinued and are no longer available. We would recommend taking a look at our Eyestudio Lasting Drama Waterproof Gel Pencil Eyeliner! This product comes in Lustrous Sapphire! We hope this helps! https://www.maybelline.com/eye-makeup/eyeliner/eyestudio-lasting-drama-waterproof-gel-pencil-eyeliner/lustrous-sapphire

I have been using the Chestnut Brown eyeliner for my eyebrows, and I love it. Which color would be the closest to this one now that it has been discontinued?

Asked by: Yadira1
Hi Yadira1! Thank you for reaching out to us about our Define-A-Line Eye Liner. We do not recommend using this on your eyebrows. If you're looking for a warm brown shade for your brows, give our Total Temptation Eyebrow Definer Pencil in shade Soft Brown or Medium Brown. You can check this out by clicking the link below. We hope this helps! https://www.maybelline.com/eye-makeup/eyebrow-makeup/total-temptation-eyebrow-definer-pencil/soft-brown

Why has the chestnut brown eyeliner been discontinued? I have been using it for years now and cannot find another brand with that color. I am very disappointed. The brown/black replacement color is far too dark for my skin and hair color.

Asked by: Lorene
Hi Lorene! Thank you for your feedback on the discontinued Define-A-Line in the shade Chestnut Brown. Unfortunately we do not have prepared information on why this shade has been discontinued as it could have resulted in many factors. However, we appreciate your comments and will pass them along. We invite you to check out the Unstoppable Eyeliner in the shade Cinnabar. Although this is not an exact replacement, we believe it has some of the same qualities you found in Chestnut Brown. We hope you can find a new favorite soon! https://www.maybelline.com/eye-makeup/eyeliner/unstoppable-eyeliner-pencil/onyx/Cinnabar

I am extremely disappointed that the Chestnut Brown eyeliner has been discontinued. I’ve been using this product for well over 10 years. The replacement color (brownish black) is too dark. I will be searching for another product and it won’t be maybelline

Asked by: Marie48
Hi Marie48! We apologize about the inconvenience. We suggest checking out the Striking Copper or Cinnabar for something lighter than the Brown black shades: https://www.maybelline.com/eye-makeup/eyeliner/eyestudio-lasting-drama-waterproof-gel-pencil-eyeliner/striking-copper https://www.maybelline.com/eye-makeup/eyeliner/unstoppable-eyeliner-pencil/Cinnabar
