    Complaint About Maybelline TattooStudio Eye Pencil. Dear Maybelline Customer Service, I have been a loyal Maybelline customer for many years, and I am writing to express my disappointment with the Maybelline TattooStudio Eye Pencil. When the pencil becomes this short, it is no longer possible to sharpen it properly, even though there is still product inside. This results in unnecessary waste and prevents customers from using the product to its full value. Considering the price of this product, I believe customers should be able to use it until the very end. It is frustrating to pay for a premium product and have to throw away a significant amount that cannot be accessed because of the pencil’s design. As a long-time and loyal customer, I would appreciate receiving compensation for the wasted product and hope Maybelline will consider improving the design of this pencil to prevent this issue in the future. Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to your response and to a fair resolution. Sincerely,.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    To spend all your money on sharpening it into noth

    a month ago
    Waste of money you'll spend all of your time sharpening it down. Trying to get a tip that is usable and then realize that even once you get a usable tip that the product itself is a waste, it's does not leave any product on your face. And it just breaks off over and over again. You get 0 results and a 100% breakage.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    I liked the texture and the results once applied. First I did not understand how to lengthen the core hard gel . I was very frustrated thought that I was taken advantage off. I read many reviews which were very negative . I was ready to throw it away until I decided to sharpen the crayon with a cosmetic sharpener and then a perfect crayon emerged. The Maybelline people had created the ideal system because before the gel and the wood holding the gel did not have the same texture so the gel broke easily now with the plastic material holding the gel is very similar to the gel itself so no breaking . Génial. A great great pencil, the best I ever had and I had pencil from upscale brands . This one finally delivers the perfect product .

    I have used the tattoo studio line since it came , the last 3 pencils have lost the liner stick lead inside of it each time . Some break off when you sharpen and one even had the entire thing come out of the pencil.

While it may look like a plastic twist-up, this pencil is actually designed to be sharpened just like a traditional wooden pencil!

    Gentle, easy to use

    a year ago
    I purchased from Target/ulta. While it technically sharpens easily, it doesn’t sharpen evenly. It gives many of the same issues most pencil liners give, though I go appreciate the lack of splinters or wood just stabbing me in the eye. I’m sure most of us can relate to the wood smear with eyeliner. I love that it smudges out easily for a smoked eye or any liner look, really. I have low vision so it makes doing my liner a breeze. It does NOT have staying power, but it’s great for the price. I set it with setting powder, eyeshadow, AND setting spray to keep it in place. Otherwise, it will randomly just have me looking like a panda.i do love that it hasn’t dried out like most gel liners do. And it doesn’t bother my eyes or skin even though i have sensitive skin.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    JUNK

    Total waste of money. It says you can sharpen it. However, if you can’t get it the base to turn, which pushes up additional gel what good is it? It took two pliers to get it to turn and when it did turn, still nothing came up. I had to completely remove the end cap and use a long end of a Q-tip just to push the gel up in order to use it. I say again, total waste of money. JUNK!!!

    Q: Is there a way to sharpen this pencil? I bought the Tattoo Studio gel eyeliner pencil and there’s no possible way to sharper or make the eyeliner “longer”. And unfortunately I stubbed the tip of the eyeliner so now I can’t use it. Any suggestions?

    • A: Hello there. Despite the plastic-coated appearance of the Tattoo Studio Sharpenable Gel Pencil Longwear Eyeliner Makeup, it can be sharpened with a cosmetic sharpener. For best results, turn the pencil gently in the sharpener 3 or 4 times, being careful not to apply excess pressure. After sharpening, remove all shavings from the blade edge. Your sharpener should be replaced whenever the blade has dulled and is no longer giving the expected results. We hope this information helps!

    Q: How do you extend the liner or increase it after some is used or how can it be pushed up? It seems odd that you would only have the small tip to use. How does the sharpener work when you can't move the liner upward? Thank you.
