Packaging
The Maybelline Colossal Eyeliner comes in a black pen form with yellow accents. One of the biggest issues I’ve faced with pen eyeliners is the cap coming off in my bag hence drying it out. This one shuts with a click and will most certainly remain intact in your handbag. I’ve used many pen liners in the past from brands like Lakme, Colorbar & MUA and this one has the most unique tip.

The 0.4mm Flexi Tip Applicator of Maybelline The Colossal Liner is soft and flexible hence lining your eyes is much easier. You can draw a thin line or opt for something dramatic, thicker and bolder with equal ease. It earns full marks for ease of usage and with a bit of practice any beginner can easily master it.
Consistency & Finish
Unlike the Maybelline Hyper Sharp Liner, the New Colossal Liner isn’t too watery and dries quickly, within seconds. It does not get patchy during application and gives an even finish every. single.time. And if you have sensitive eyes like I do, then go ahead and buy it. It feels very comfortable on the eyes and does not sting one bit unlike some liquid liners.
The finish is certainly not matte but not too glossy like the Maybelline Hyperglossy Liners. It looks fresh and sort of opens up your eyes. Its my been my go to liner for the past 3 months and the only one I’ve been turning to especially when I’m in a hurry. Its a miracle that I still haven’t run out of it.

Shade & Pigmentaton
Currently the Maybelline Colossal Liquid Liner comes in only shade -Black and how I wish they launch many more shades in the range. The liner is jet black and shows up beautifully over eyeshadows. I require a couple of swipes for the intense black finish and in comparison to the Lakme Absolute Pricision Liquid Liner, the Maybelline variant is much more pigmented.
Staying Power
The Maybelline Felt Tip Liner is smudge proof and water resistant to a certain extent. It does not flake or bleed while I’m out in the sun and sweating bullets. It easily stays put for about 8-9 hours on me ( for reference, I do not have oily lids) but tends to flake a bit if I end up rubbing my eyes after 6 hours or so. It is easily removable with a face wash hence gets more love from this lazy bum. For the price, the Maybelline Colossal Liner is absolutely worth it!
