Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Maybelline Tattoo Liner involves proper application, understanding its compatibility, and routine care to maintain its quality.
Setup and Application
- Preparation: Ensure your eyelid area is clean, dry, and free of any oils or excess moisture for optimal adhesion and longevity.
- Application:
- If your pencil requires sharpening, ensure the tip is sharp. If it's a twist-up, extend the tip slightly.
- For easier application, gently pull your eyelid taut with one hand while applying the liner with the other.
- Apply the liner directly to your lash line in short, connected strokes or one fluid motion, depending on your preferred technique.
- Setting Time: Allow a few seconds (approximately 10-20 seconds) for the gel liner to set completely after application. This is crucial for its long-lasting and smudge-resistant properties.
Compatibility
- This gel pencil is primarily designed for use on the upper and lower lash lines.
- For application on the waterline, perform a patch test first to ensure comfort and prevent irritation, as sensitivities vary among individuals.
Care
- Storage: Always replace the cap securely after each use to prevent the gel formula from drying out and to protect the tip. Store the pencil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Sharpening (if applicable): If your Maybelline Tattoo Liner Gel Pencil requires sharpening, use a high-quality cosmetic sharpener designed for eyeliner pencils. Regularly clean your sharpener to ensure a clean cut and prevent product buildup.
- Removal: Due to its long-lasting nature, an oil-based or bi-phase eye makeup remover is highly recommended. Apply the remover to a cotton pad, press gently over the closed eyelid for several seconds to break down the product, then wipe away without harsh rubbing. Repeat if necessary.
