Most Helpful Positive Review User friendly sultry matte look I will start off by saying I have always had a love/hate relationship with liquid liner. Simply put, I love the look of it but hate the level of difficulty I have trying to apply it. L'Oréal's Matte Signature Liquid Dip Eyeliner might have just changed my mind.
The struggle is partially due to minimal lid space, long lashes, and slightly hooded eyes. On top of that, the vision in my right eye is extremely impaired and its hard to hold steady while trying to focus in on my left eye. This liner had multiple features that made the task easier for me.
Let's start off with the packaging. You cant deny that the gold finishing of the handle is gorgeous. Especially, in contrast to the jet black of the well. What impressed me most though, was the way the handle widened midway and gave us a "textured metal" surface that provided better grip. This made keeping the product steady while applying much easier.
The applicator brush has just the right amount of flexibility to follow the curve of your eye, without getting away from you. The tip is sharp and made it possible for me to keep the line as thin as i need with my small lids. It dries down even and quick. From the luxe golden packaging to the sultry matte finish, it screams elegance.
Pros-
Applicator provides a better grip than most
Allows you to create a thin precise line
Dries to an even matte finish
Long-lasting formula
You don't have to keep re-dipping to finish each eye
Cons-
Drags a little bit if you have fine lines around your eyes.
Will crack if you apply too many layers
Removal takes a little effort
Overall this product has made me reconsider liquid liner. Not enough to wear it everyday but on special occasions or when i have the extra time to spend on my makeup application, i will continue to use this product. For those of you that are seasoned pros and can get that perfect cat eye In one flick, you will love it.
Most Helpful Critical Review Started out great, but zero staying power, flakes The L'Oreal Signature Matte Eyeliner started out perfect, but unfortunately just didn't have any staying power for even half a days worth of wear. Let's talk about the good first. I loved the tip of the liner, it was firm yet offered enough flexibility to apply easily. I was able to get extremely fine lines, and also able to build up thicker lines with ease. It was easy to get a nice precise wing. I loved the wand component- it felt comfortable and natural to hold, and the texture provided a slight grip to help me keep a good hold on it. I didn't experience any smudging which I was very surprised to see, as most liners smudge in the corner for me. It dried very quickly as well! Everything was going great and performing exactly how I want a liner to perform, until I actually started wearing it. Within 4 1/2 hours, it had already started flaking off in large amounts. My line no longer looked smooth and perfect, it looked jagged and half way gone. (I'd also like to note that I was inside the entire time I tested this, so there was no harsh environment to effect it.) 2 hours after that, you can barely tell I had on any liner at all. (Yes, that's less than 7 hour wear time!) Lastly, I did spritz water on my face to test the waterproof-ness and it didn't smudge with water sitting on top of it... but the second I wiped my finger across the drops of water, my line was 3/4ths of the way gone. That's just not what I expect out of a waterproof liner. All in all, it started out perfect, but at the end of the day (actually, only after 4 1/2 hours of the day...) it just didn't look good, was just flaking away, and just simply didn't have any staying power. For those reasons, I wouldn't purchase this again, and I wouldn't recommend to my friends.

I've never been good at applying eyeliner and generally shy away from it but this has been a game changer!
I absolutely love it and would recommend to others. I love the burgundy and blue colors-they add a little pop.
Mixed emotions 4
Ash from Houston, Tx
Loved the concept of it! Makes application easy & precise. I was just sad that it dries up quickly upon applying. I was also expecting a true burgundy matte but it was more of a metallic-ish touch. I got lots of compliments and was looking forward to purchasing the blue one but afraid it will have that same metallic-ish look.
Streaky and NOT matte 2
Meesh from Va
Streaky and watery formula that gets clumpy when you try to build it up and has a shiny finish when it's advertised as being matte. Shame Bc the packaging is gorgeous. If you want a way better eyeliner that is in an inkwell form get the regular wet n wild liquid eyeliner (not waterproof) it's bomb.
Good to try out a bold color, not a must-have 3
Average makeup gal from Austin
The color is beautiful! BUT it dries out quickly during application, needs multiple coats to obtain a popping color, and is flaky after a couple of minutes.
Flaky 2
IVF Mama from FL
With masks becoming part of my work wardrobe I decided I needed to play up my eyes a little so I ordered the blue and greige and resolved to wear liner daily. I have to plunge the applicator into the bottle multiple times because it dries out rapidly and applies in streaks. Makes a nice little flick but if I touch it at any point in the day, the flick disappears. Flakes and breaks over the twelve hours I wear it and removes fairly easily with micellar water but I end up with little flakes everywhere BUT my eyelids. It's more like it lifts rather than dissolving. The greige has an unpleasant, almost mildew odour until it dries down. When all's said and done, I won't buy it again.
Nice matte liner 5
Faustina from Philadelphia, PA
It's a nice matte eyeliner. Doesn't flake and super easy to remove. Really intense color too.
Crispy when trying to get off 3
Em from Denver, CO
When you're trying to get it off it's like "crispy". It lays down nicely. Just it's weird to get off even with makeup remover
Luv it 5

This is my first time using this brand, I like it a lot & I plan on buying it again.
Eyelids swollen and red 1
Amy from Beavercreek, ohio
I've been using liquid eyeliner for 30 years. Usually maroon in color. Which is rare to find these days. This one in the maroon was perfect because of that. Sadly, every single time i wear it, my eyelids are red and very swollen.
POP of gorgeous blue 5

I loooove this blue liquid liner. It's so precise and the color is vibrant. Looking to try other colors.

BEST EYELINERS 5
Ash from Council bluffs
Literally the best eyeliners that last a long time for a glam or basic look. They are so easy to apply. I have never had worked with a liquid liner that would give a flick at the end so easily. So far I have worn the blue and the burgundy one and I have gotten so many compliments on the color. You might have to apply a few times for the color but they come out really nice and really matte.
Beautiful Maroon and Lasts Great 5
Mar from South
Because of school colors and I just love the shade, I always look for a good maroon/burgundy liquid or gel liner. While the shade is matte to the touch, it does have a soft metallic sheen. Lasts all day and actually takes a minute to remove (but without excessive rubbing or pressure). I don't normally post a review, but I actually fell asleep in my makeup last night and my wings looked perfect when I woke up.
In my opinion, only ways to make it better is if was a brush instead of felt tip, and maybe in a pen form. (Prefer the former the most)
Pretty container but that's it 2
Yo Dee-Dee from Philadelphia
I was sadly disappointed. The tip is very short and still comes out of bottle on the dry side. Trying ro return but can't w Coronavirus shut down.
BEST EVER! 5
Sundas from WA
Its the besy out there! Always been a pen eyeliner girl but then thought of using this. If u have teouble making wing eyeliner(like me) this is ur new best friend!! Easy!! And super matte black, stays put through out the day. I love how the tip is soft and bends easily but at the same time sharp enough to make a thin line for my wing!! Never going back to any other eyeliner. Have tried tarte,stilla,kat von d!! Such a waste!! This is the best ever!! Havnt tried it? U NEED IT
Great staying power! 5
JP from NY
The blue is a beautiful color, and say to apply, stayed on all day!
Love it! 5
Chazzycat from Michigan
I bought the Greige color and it's very flattering- I have very dark hair, light olive skin and hazel eyes. It stays in well and hasn't flaked or run.
one of the best drugstore brands 4
GV from Chicago
Too much goes on at once but does stay in place all day. Biggest downside is it gets super flakey when you take it off so it tales a while to get all the flakes off your face.
Eh it's ok 3

Very black product is nice however don't like the want whatsoever
Great product but, not for beginners 5
Angee from Whittier, CA
This is an amazing eyeliner that provides beautiful, long-lasting color to your eye area but it's definitely not for someone who doesn't have much experience using eyeliner. For me, there would be times it would look better than others or times when I struggled to line both eyes evenly and as a result, I would prefer another type of eyeliner. If done well, though, the results will be great, long-lasting eyeliner. It's definitely worth a try especially if you have steady hands.
Love it! 5
Jen from Vancouver Washington
Easy to put on. Matte!
Flaked off 3
MrsV from PA
I loved the packaging and the fine point tip. The formula itself wasted buildable and even flaked off. Not the look I want when one eyes wing partially disappears. I loved their other formulas and thought this one would be a bit but I would have to pass.
obsessed with its precision 5
janinnn from Salem OR
I love my Matte Signature Liquid Dip Eyeliner because its precision is amazing, with a great texturised handle to give me a great grip so i can get closer to my eye line. The consistency is great not too liquidy or not to thick which makes it great and precise. The formula is fast drying so it does not move if you need to make your liner thicker. It is waterproof and last all day long but it is very easy to remove without having to wipe so hard on your skin. The tip is very thin and makes it easy to work with. The packaging is very cute and elegant, looks great in make up desk (:
Last all day 5
Nikki81 from Edwardsville, PA
L'Oreal Paris Matte Signature Liquid Eyeliner in Burgundy is a great way to add a pop of color to your eyes. It goes on easy and lasts all day. It is smudge proof and waterproof. The applicator is short and lets you get closer to your eye when applying it. If you press lightly you get a thin line and if you press harder you get a thicker line. I love the burgundy color.
Bold & itense dipable eyeliner 5
Candy from Buffalo, NY
I really like this eyeliner dip, the L'oreal Matte Signature line has four shades and I have been using the shade "Griege". The dip bottle design is elegant, attractive and fits perfectly in my make-up bag. The dip applicator doesn't stay saturated long, I had to redip multiple times to complete my wing look. I love that it's waterproof, transfer resistant and smudge proof. The color Griege I was using was really pretty but I do prefer black most of the time. The applicator glides across my eyelid smoothly, no skips or jagged lines. I am a fan of the matte drying because it did not crack or flake throughout the day like most eyeliners. The applicator tip was very precise, I was able to create perfect lines as well as some really nice wing looks . I would absolutely recommend the liquid eyeliner, I've already added it to my daily eye makeup routine.
