No Applicator with the eyeshadow
20 days ago
I’ve been buying Maybelline’s Expert Wear eyeshadow for 40+ years. Imagine my surprise when I recently bought one and it was missing the applicator. I returned it to the store, told them it was faulty as it was missing the applicator and I got my money back. I bought another only to be frustrated again that the applicator was missing. Then I looked online to find that Maybelline was no longer including the applicator to save on plastic waste. C'mon, that tiny applicator has a fraction of plastic compared to the case and Maybelline is losing money (hopefully the store is not eating the cost) when the product is returned AND the whole product is becoming plastic waste! At least other brands have a see-thru case to show if the applicator is missing. Maybelline needs to either put a label on the black case saying ‘Applicator NO longer included' or start including it again with an ‘Applicator included' label. I will not buy the product again until the applicator is returned to its spot within the case. It is hard to buy a tiny applicator that fits in the slot, and I will not be dirtying my finger to apply it, nor keep a separate brush that doesn't fit in the case and gets the inside of my makeup bag dirty. Please, Maybelline, put the likely two cent applicator back in the Expert Wear eyeshadow. And any chance you could send me a few free applicators in the meantime? I certainly would appreciate it.

Excellent product
a month ago
The Maybelline eyeshadows have been my favorite for years and I like the individual palettes. I noticed the missing applictator and thought it was an error. Althought it was nice to have, I use makeup brushes as I have found the tip of the applicator eventually seemed dirty and ultimately fell off. I support Maybelline's decision to cut down on the plastics.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Disappointed
a month ago
I’ve been buying Maybelline eye makeup for many many years. Imagine my surprise when I bought 2 Expertwear eye shadow and find no applicator. Are you kidding me. The company saved a fraction of a cent and I had to go back to the store to buy a package of applicators. Not smart, I won’t buy it again.
No, I do not recommend this product.

No applicator, so it's useless.

Loved this eyeshadow for 20 years, but Maybelline has made the extremely poor decision to stop including an applicator. To make matters worse, they didn't change the package or give customers any indication that there is no applicator in the package.

Hi Disappointed12!
Thank you for being such a loyal fan of our Expert Wear Eyeshadow for the past 20 years, that kind of long-time support truly means the world to us!
We completely understand your frustration regarding the sudden absence of the applicator and the lack of notice on the packaging. To give you some insight into the decision, we recently removed the sponge-tip applicators across several of our shadow lines as part of our ongoing sustainability efforts to reduce single-use plastic waste, especially since many makeup lovers prefer using their own dedicated brushes.
However, we hear your concerns, and we will certainly share your thoughts with our product development team. Thank you for reaching out and helping us improve!

I also have been a loyal customer for many years and am very dissapointed that they no longer have a applicator with their eyeshadow. I assumed that it somehow got accidientlly missed in the production line and when I bought another I relized that this is no longer offered with there eyeshadows. I will not be using my finger and will not be a customer any longer. Bad move maybelline!!

Applicator Scandal
2 months ago
My friends tease me as I’ve worn “drugstore” brands for years - mainly Maybelline eye shadows. Much to my chagrin, my new palette does not include an applicator!! What?? It’s silly to expect one to apply with your finger or worse, another brands applicator. Bad move. I’ll now be returning my recent purchase and visit the department store counter. Your decision makers certainly don’t know your customer base.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Hello Joly54! Thank you so much for loving the vibrant color and long-lasting wear of our Expert Wear Eye Shadow! We completely understand how frustrating it was to get home and find there was no applicator inside, and we sincerely apologize for the unexpected inconvenience this caused you. In our effort to streamline our packaging to keep it as compact as possible, we have transitioned away from including mini applicators in our single shadows, as we found many beauty lovers prefer utilizing their own personal brush collections for their looks. As a quick tip for the future or when you are on the go without a brush, you can actually use the pad of your ring finger to gently press and sweep the shadow across your lids. The natural warmth of your fingertip helps to beautifully melt the pigments, giving you an incredibly smooth blend and a rich, high-impact color payoff instantly.
