My Experience with Maybelline Eye Studio Cream Pencil Eyeliner – Sapphire Strength:
I am a novice in using eyeliners, so I thought I would start with eyeliner pencils which are easier to use. I got this input from our IMBB beauties when I had asked for suggestions through “Ask IMBB” section and I am so thankful to all.
Since I had heard a lot about Maybelline pencil liners, I thought of giving it a try. While I was checking out the liners mainly in black, as my main motive was to try and learn with a simple one with basic black colour, my eyes fell on this sapphire shade. I did purchase a black eyeliner, but I also could not resist buying this one, and I am so happy I bought it because the colour is lovely.
I love this pencil, its very creamy in texture and this makes the application pretty easy. You don’t have to trace the line over and over, even for a beginner. The finish is superb. It does not tug on the skin, and there’s no breaking of the line. It has a little shimmer in it and is absolutely perfect for both day and evening wear. Even though it has got a creamy texture, it does not run down or smudge on my lids. Of course it smudges a bit when you rub the eyes, but that’s okay for me.
Overall, I love this product for the ease of use and of course the colour. I was not sure how the liner would look on me, but now I don’t step out without wearing it. It has become as necessary as my lip balm.
Swatches:
Now that I am comfortable using pencil liners, I think I can move ahead to liquid or gel liners too.
Pros of Maybelline Eye Studio Cream Pencil Eyeliner – Sapphire Strength:
- Beautiful colour.
- Glides smoothly and does not break.
- No sharpening required.
- Stays for hours, long lasting.
- Smooth and creamy texture.
- Does not irritate eyes and contact lens safe.
- Can be removed easily with eye makeup remover.

Cons of Maybelline Eye Studio Cream Pencil Eyeliner – Sapphire Strength:
- Lots of chemicals in the ingredients but since it says “ophthalmologist tested” and safe for contact lens, I guess it is fine.
IMBB Rating:
5/5.

Nice buy Ashwini *haan ji*
Thanks Jomol 🙂
Thanks dear 🙂
I got the same pencil from the US in the same shade and I had a terrible experience. It was hard,horrible staying power and barely showed up. Total flop for me. *headbang* *nababana*
oh i was about to order this as i so such a great review of this range but in black color.
is it that bad??? *headbang*
I wouldnt recommend this at all. Probably its the shade, read a few reviews of black if you’re quite keen.
That’s surprising. Coz this pencil of mine is soft enough to use easily and the color shows up beautifully as seen in the swatches. Sad, you had a terrible experience.
Love the electric blue colour!
yeah! its awesome. The color was the only reason for me to buy and try it.
my love too IMBB *clap* *clap* nice shade and review dear 🙂
Hey, thanks!

Thanks Neha, Esha and Jyoti.
the color is sooo beautiful. :)) and the swatch is super cute :)) I am more of a sharpening pencil liners fan. But I really wnat to lookout for this shade. It’s beautiful 🙂
Thanks Rati. You can give it a try. When I want a fine line, I just roll it once onto a cotton pad or tissue to give it a point.
The color is so gorgeous, I always want to use this one even when it does not go with the outfit and then I have to stop my self and go for the other liner. 🙂
Beautiful shade…I want this *hihi*
Go ahead and give it a try 🙂
That is such a cool and a rocking blue *woot* *woot* i want to buy it asap *woot* *happy dance* *happy dance* waiting to find it somewhere *hifive* *hifive*
