Maybelline New York Define-A-Line Eye Liner

Average member rating of 7.4
Average member rating
Rated a 4.5
This skinny plastic wand maximizes space with a liner on one end and a smudge brush on the other. The pencil twists up as needed, and creates a smooth line from inner to outer lids. The packaging isn't as sturdy -- it feels cheapie -- and only comes in half the shades of department store equivalent Clinique Quickliner. Flip the smudger, and there's a small sharpener which, unfortunately, you'll use often because the liner is so soft and mush-able.

    maybe, maybe not

    by exoticppl (35 reviews)
    this eyeliner went on smoothly and appeared to be very bold but as the day wore on my eyeliner wore off. by the end of my work day what was lined on my bottom lid was non existant and my top lids looked rough to say the least. if only it had holding power February 27, 2008, 12:59 pm

    I like it

    by luvtee (17 reviews)
    I had been using a different brand and asked my co-worker what she was using because her eyes looked very dramatic. She told me it was this product. I bought it last week and love it. It goes on real smooth, gives a thin or thick line depending on what you prefer, doesn't smudge, easy to remove, great color December 11, 2007, 12:42 pm

    by kimmy1480 (51 reviews)
    This eyeliner was extremely smudgeable and didn't stay in place at all! It definately didn't last all day. I will never buy again! August 21, 2008, 9:15 am

    Best eyeliner I have ever used.

    by geronimo8540 (15 reviews)
    I love the fact that if you pull of the smudger on the end it has the sharpener built in. When it starts running out all you have to do is turn it like chapstick. I bought might and got one free for the same price and I'm so glad I did. May 28, 2008, 9:07 am

    Great product for the price!

    by donnaw75 (9 reviews)
    I have been trying to find an inexpensive eye liner that goes on smooth, and this is the product. It applies easily and evenly. I don't have any problems with it disappearing on me either. I love that you don't need a sharpener too! May 15, 2008, 10:25 am

    Eyeliner

    by mannyis (2 reviews)
    As for the eyeliner, I found out that I don't have to go for the expensive kind, due to the fact, that your eyeliner works just fine for me and that it does not irritate my eyes like most of the other name brand eyeliners that I have tried have done to my eyes. Thank you. March 19, 2008, 8:40 am

    Goes on easy

    by Chickie1214 (9 reviews)
    I like the smoothness of the liner and that it has a smudger and sharpener included. I do seem to run out faster though... December 11, 2007, 8:04 am
