  • Smudge-resistant mascara performance
  • Lightweight, buildable lash formula
  • Bold, long-lasting lipstick pigment
  • Moisturizing, comfortable gloss texture

  • Gloss longevity limitations
  • Messy, product-heavy applicators

Maybelline earns strong reviews as a reliable, effective drugstore mainstay, with mascaras like Lash Sensational Sky High and Great Lash delivering length, lift, and smudge-resistant wear, and lip staples like Super Stay Matte Ink offering bold, all‑day color. Reviewers note drawbacks including drying long-wear lipsticks without balm, gloss that fades and has a Play‑Doh‑like scent, occasional messy applicators or product buildup, limited shade range, and foundation transfer.

  • I have the Maybelline Master Precise All Day Liquid Eyeliner Makeup in black. I think it is a good enough eyeliner for the price. It could be better, but you get what you pay for if not a little bit better.

  • I’ve used this mascara for a little bit now and it’s worked really well for me! It separates my eyelashes nicely which I like. I prefer them not to be clumpy. It really makes them stand out it! Lasts quite awhile as well!

  • I have repurchased this three times now. I like that it gives a nice color to the brows and also hods them in place. I feel like a lot of product kind of builds up onto the end of the brush, so I have to wipe a lot off before I use it but other than that I love it!

  • Lash Sensational Sky High has quickly become one of my favorite mascaras. It gives amazing length and volume without clumping or flaking, and my lashes look lifted and defined all day. I love how lightweight the formula feels and how easy it is to build without getting heavy. It makes my lashes look long, separated, and dramatic while still looking natural. Such a reliable everyday mascara.

  • Maybelline makes a great variety of affordable and reliable makeup items. I have used Maybelline for years for their makeup products. Their items allow for a subtle look, which I appreciate. Maybelline is also fairly easy to find in most stores, making it a good option for makeup.

  • I’ve been buying Maybelline for years and years. They sell affordable drugstore quality make up and it’s a good quality. I bought this lipstick because it’s a beautiful color, it’s moisturizes, and lasts. Even better it’s a great price!

  • Lengthens like crazy without making lashes look spidery. It doesn’t smudge on me, and the flexible wand makes it easy to get every lash. One of the best drugstore mascaras I’ve tried. I personally like my Caliray mascara more, but it's a great affordable option.

  • The maybelline mascara and fit me concealer have been a staple of mine for years. You really can’t beat the quality for the price. They are a great drugstore brand. I like trying new products and brands but always come back to the tried and true.

  • Lightweight, easy to blend, and perfect for brightening my under eyes. Shade 07 gives a natural, fresh look without creasing. I really recommended It’s my favorite affordable concealer for everyday use. ✨

  • This isn’t your average primer—it’s like a mascara with a water-based formula that gives lashes definition, hold, and zero smudging. Way more comfortable and less irritating than the original Sky High. No raccoon eyes, just natural, long-lasting lift. You can see by the picture that it’s a holy grail and a tried and true. No amazing product will look intact after months of use.

  • I’ve worn this lipstick on long days out, and it really doesn’t budge—even after meals or coffee. The pigment is super bold, but I do feel it dries my lips a bit if I skip balm underneath. Still, for nights when I want my lipstick to last without reapplying, it’s a go-to.

  • The Maybelline Lifter Gloss + Lip Liner combos are seriously trending for a reason 💄✨. I personally love the Stone + Let’s Bounce combo — super flattering and easy to wear daily. The gloss is juicy and comfy, but not the longest lasting, so you might need a few touch-ups throughout the day.

  • La máscara Sky High de Maybelline alarga increíblemente las pestañas sin apelmazarlas. un cepillo flexible que llega hasta las pestañas más pequeñas y dura todo el día sin manchar ،. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

  • I've been a huge fan of the super stay matte ink for a while now. It goes on so well, no cracking, doesn't dry out my lips, and stays on. I just bought the new one, the teddy tint, and I love the two I bought! I definitely need every shade, I swear. Great products that do what they claim.

  • Maybelline is my go-to drugstore makeup brand, particularly for lip products. I love the Lifter Glosses — they're the most moisturizing lip gloss I've ever used. (But I could do without the Play-Doh-like scent.) The Superstay Vinyl Ink is a little more glam than I'm used to, but it provides great pigment if you want a truly opaque lip look. The brand's Instant Age Rewind Eraser is a new staple for me. The line seems to have good undertone options, and it's really easy to apply and blend. I do find that the fuzzy applicator gets messy quickly, though.

  • Maybelline's Great Lash in Blackest Black is a solid mascara! I've been on the hunt recently for a mascara that does my lashes more justice, and this one holds up very well! I really like the applicator, and I personally bought the non-waterproof version of this mascara, but have found it still stays on very well.

  • My Experience with Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Lipstick I honestly can’t live without this lipstick! I wear it daily, and it’s incredibly long-lasting — it stays put for 24 hours until you remove it yourself. Even after eating or drinking, it doesn’t fade. I absolutely love it and always receive so many compliments when I wear it. I make sure to keep it stocked because it’s my all-time favorite lipstick. As a content creator based in the Netherlands, I would love to advertise this amazing product.

  • I consistently buy my mascaras from Maybelline. They work just as well as the more expensive brands in my opinion and are half the price. I like that their mascaras come in brown as well which are slightly more natural than regular black.

  • I use the Fit By Me foundation line of Maybellines products and overall I would recommend the product to someone on a budget looking for decent foundation. No it certainly is not the best quality foundation out there, but it also does not break the bank like so many of the other brands. My main issue with the product is if I stick my hands in my face or rub my face at all the foundation starts to rub off onto my hands. But I have used other products that come off much easier, and honestly have yet to find a brand I like that does not do this, so I have started to loose hope.

  • I’ve been using Baby Skin for a while and honestly, it works. It makes my skin feel really smooth and blurs my pores without feeling heavy. Perfect for quick makeup days — it just gives that clean, soft base 💗
