What a find. I normally use Mac or Bobbi Brown gel liners but checked on here for something cheaper. This product is $4.00, it's so smooth, goes on beautifully and I actually like how it applies as a...Read more

I've tried a ton of drugstore liners and this one is not bad. It's not as good as the higher end stuff but it's better than the other cheaper gel liners. Some migration and my biggest issue is the col...Read more

I stumbled on this gel eyeliner with raving reviews and at the price of $3.99, I just had to try it! The top goes on tightly, which is important for keeping the product from drying out. On first use I...Read more

I do a tight line on my eyes most days and this is the ONLY eyeliner that doesn't smear/disappear in a hot second. It stays put, and stays a true black. It also doesn't irritate my eyes, which is a ...Read more

It was not long wearing even with a primer and the container didn't seal well enough so the product dried out. Maybe mine was a dud.

I have tried quite a few cream/gel liners while trying to find the perfect one. This is the winner! I don't know why it is different than others, but it is. It glides on with no skipping. It is very p...Read more

It's cheap, made in Germany. It's better than the maybelline or loreal ones but it still smudges on my eyes at the end of the day. The colour is jet black. I tried to set with powder but I get panda e...Read more

The best eyeliner I have tried! I docked off a lippie because it claims to be waterproof but it does smudge with water. (I don't really mind I don't need it to be waterproof but it is still advertised...Read more

Price point is good except that it flakes towards the end of the day which bugs me very much. I normally top it with a pen liner to make it last all day.

I got this on sale! This is so easy to apply and does not dry easily or clumps on your eyelashes. It lasts all day especially on hot humid days, even when I sweat. I'd buy this again.

Maybe Essence did change the formula, because the one I got in late 2014 is in no way inky black like some of the reviews say. This is thin on me, like the Physicians Formula trio cream liners. If I u...Read more
