MBT says-

Maybelline Vivid & Smooth eye liner is a matte black plastic pencil with a transparent cap. It has a colored end that helps in easy identification of the shade in case you hoard many from this range. The lid of the cap is quite tight and can be securely carried around in a makeup bag. The liner was tapered to a neatly sharpened tip when brand new. It enables a comfortable and easy grip unlike few other pencils.

The texture of the eye liner is soft, smooth and creamy. It applies smoothly due to its soft and velvety consistency. It glides easily across the upper lash line without dragging or pulling the skin. It creates a flawless line in a single swipe and provides a subtle line of color. To get a more intense look, I apply a little pressure and swipe it 2-3 times. It allows me to define my eyes effortlessly and apply a flick to the outer corners. It sets into a water resistant and smudge-proof finish after application. The staying power is pretty average. It stays put on my slightly oily lids for a good 3-4 hours after that it starts fading. Due to its creamy texture, the tapered tip wears down rather quickly and I need to sharpen the pencil after using it 3-4 times. It doesn't cause any adverse effects on my skin. The liner can be easily removed using olive oil or an eye makeup remover.

‘Bordeaux Pearl’ is a gorgeous mauve-ish pink with a frosty finish. It contains fine and subtle pink shimmers which are visible only when light reflects. The shimmer stays intact and doesn't tend to fall out. The liner looks fantastic with both soft and smoky looks. It instantly brightens up my eyes and looks quite subtle and wearable. It can be used as an eyeshadow base as well. I cannot speak of my experience with smudging the eyeliner as usually I don’t favor this look. It would look flattering on fair to medium skin tones.
