Maybelline Tattoo Studio Dip Ink Eyeliner
Ideal for Oily Lids and Longevity
Waterproof eyeliners like the Tattoo Studio Dip-Ink Eyeliner are an excellent choice for individuals with oily lids. To maximize makeup longevity and manage oiliness, it is recommended to start with a clean, moisturized face before applying makeup.
Application Best Practices
- Always shake the Tattoo Studio Dip-Ink Eyeliner before application.
- Liquid eyeliner typically dries quickly, within 10-30 seconds, depending on the amount applied.
- For optimal results and eye health, it is advised to replace liquid eyeliner, including dip eyeliner, every 3-6 months after opening. This is because the applicator, coming into frequent contact with the eyes, can harbor bacteria if used beyond this period.

User Experience and Comparison
One user shared their experience, initially hearing about the liner and deciding to try it after seeing it in stores. While they often prefer the quick application of a pencil liner for definition, they found this liquid liner to be a compelling option.
The liner comes in a classic pencil shape with a transparent plastic cap. Its formula is described as creamier than a traditional pencil but with enough firmness to prevent it from spreading excessively. It applies smoothly, akin to a gel eyeliner, without tugging, and is also suitable for smudging.
Pigmentation is reported as good. The shade 900 Onyx is a classic black. For users with oily lids who typically use eyeshadow primer, it's noted that this creamier formula might transfer slightly onto the upper hooded lid.
The liner performs exceptionally well on the waterline, staying in place without fading intensity. When compared to the Avon Mark The Big Gel Paint Pencil in Blackout, both liners held up well on the waterline throughout the day. However, the Avon pencil showed slightly more transfer onto the upper lid due to its creamier initial application. No major differences were observed in their performance on the waterline.
This product is considered a noteworthy drugstore find, representing a new generation of gel formulas in a convenient pencil form. Its creaminess makes application a dream, and it stays in place with good pigmentation.
