Best Affordably Eyeliner!
Verified Reviewer
Reviewed at
essencemakeup.com/Essence's Stay and Play Gel Eyeliner is EASILY the best affordable eyeliner on the market and possibly one of the best eyeliners, hands-down. The pencil format means the formula is firm enough to not leak or be runny but it also isn't super tacky or crumbly. Oftentimes, pencil eyeliners can get kind of dry (I'm looking at you, Ulta branded eyeliners), which is not the case here. The product can be smudged out for a more smokey look but also "dries" down quickly. This is genuinely my holy grail of affordably eyeliners and my ONLY complaint is that Essence hasn't put out one in every color yet.

essencemakeup.com/I just bought this today, and as soon as it touched my face (no i did not press harshly) the top immediately broke off, and of course wouldn't go back on. It doesn't have more inside so the whole thing was just gone and it was just a waste of money.

essencemakeup.com/I bought the But First Espresso eyeliner a couple of weeks ago. I've used it maybe 3 times and I love it, but there's no way to sharpen it or get more product out! As many others have commented before... the tip and pencil seem to be made of hard plastic, not wood, so sharpening it is impossible. There's no twist mechanism either to push the product up. Customer Service has responded to a few reviews saying just sharpen it. BUT IT IS PLASTIC! YOU CAN'T SHARPEN PLASTIC!!!! Please tell me if there is something I'm missing
Finally! A colored eyeliner that actually lasts!

essencemakeup.com/I absolutely love this liner! It glides on like silk and wears like iron. You also get much more product than with retractable liners simply by sharpening the point. Best eyeliner ever!
The best eyeliner I've ever found!!!
