e.l.f Liquid Eyeliner Review

I didn't have a lot of experience with liquid eyeliner before buying this. I thought I would buy a nice cheap one to practice with and then buy a better one. But actually - I'm really happy with this one and have just purchased a few from ELF in their sale so I never run out!

I like the packaging, it's basic - but it's sleek. The brush is thin and creates a good line, it's easy to get close to the lashes and build up to the thickness that you want. The formula is smooth and one sweep is enough to create an opaque line, it dries quickly and has great staying power.

I'm still playing around and figuring out what I like, but it's so cheap that you can practice without feeling like you are wasting it.

I am a massive self-confessed fan of ELF. I love a lot of their products and had heard great things about this, so decided to give it a go.

Like a lot of their other products, the packaging on this is functional, sleek and looks more expensive than it actually is. This doesn't feel cheaply made or fragile and it travels well.

The tip of the brush is super fine - which I love, as you can make your eyeliner as thick or thin as you desire. I find this easy to use and it doesn't tug along your eye or leave nasty, watery streaks. The product is fairly pigmented and it is semi-smudge proof.

This dries to a semi-gloss finish, doesn't have a scent and nor does it irritate my eyes like some other eyeliners do.

As to be expected, this isn't as smudge proof or pigmented as some other, more expensive brands of eyeliner are. However - for the price I think this is an absolute steal and I am guilty of having 2 of these as backups...

I've never been one to use liquid eyeliner as A) I cant draw straight lines and B) the liquid always gets in my eyes and hurts! So I bought this one as a cheat trial, and its fantastic! It has a super fine tip (perhaps too fine for me sometimes, so I need multiple layers) and excellent pigment. It also dries quickly and I haven't had any problems with creasing or smudging (with a good primer base). And no sensitivity problems! Would definitely reccommend!

Before buying this product, I had very little experience with liquid eyeliner. But this little guy here helped me so much!

I found the brush very thin and very flexible, which for me, made it a lot easier to create a nice thin and sleek line on the top of my lash line! The brush also made it very easy to create a nice precise wing!

The formula is very nice, quite thin and very black. Although after a while I tend to find, the formula does not come across very opaque and can dry up quite easily which is a bit of a bummer.

I love the packaging! It is very sleek and simple, and in any way does not look cheap or tacky. It is handy for travelling as it is quite small and simple to pack away!

Although it isn't smudge proof, it has great staying power and is my number one pick for any liquid eyeliner day!

I will continue to purchase this :-)

I don't use gel liners alot but when I do I generally mess it up! This is a decent liquid but I find the brush is quite difficult to use. Probably best for profesh MUA or someone with a bit more XP than me :P

Wow is what I can say. I purchased this from Miss A for $1 and can say it is well worth more =). The packaging is plain white with silver elf writing which gives it the simple yet classy appearance and it comes in a nice black bottle no higher than 15cm. It is slightly curved getting thinner at the top where you hold it so its easy to hold. The consistency of this is a smooth deep black and doesn't get caught on the eyelids like other brands. The brush glides smoothly and is wet so depending on the angle you turn the brush the thicker the line it can create. Once applied this product lasted me all day from 8am-8pm with only a small touch up in the corner of my eyes. You only need a very small amount of this as it is a very dark black liner(midnight black) The result of this product on my eyes left a very clean and sophisticated look but you must ensure you have a steady hand when applying. I would highly recommend this to others as its affordable and leaves a really good result

I am totally useless at liquid liner, previous attempts at applying it have left me with bright red stinging eyes because I just couldn't get it in the right place and it kept running into my eye! But not with this stuff!

This liquid liner is amazing! It's so easy to apply, it glides on so smoothly and gives a nice clean sharp dark line, without having to go over it a million times.

The packaging is pretty simple but the little brush is the perfect size, making it so easy to get it right where you want it.

I still need a whole lot more practice with it, but I see this becoming a fav once I get the hang of it. Whats not to love about it?!

I went in with high expectations with this product due to having good experiences with e.l.f in the past. Seeing as it was only $5 I didn't really use much and I'll still use it as a back-up. First time applying this product, I liked the small brush, it make for easy application and a nice fine tip to work with. As I started making the line thicker, I began to see how watery the actual liquid was, it was leaving small transparent lines on my lids that I had to go back and fill in. I'd recommend this product to friends wanting to try liquid liner, but I'd also be handing them eye wipes for removal as well as liquid liner can be horrible to take off.

The applicator on this works really well and it easy to control which helps to get the flick right. BUT it is really streaky and not very opaque at all. It also starts to sort of chip off throughout the day so you have to reapply.

Not overly impressed with this liquid eye liner but for the price I can't really complain. One good thing about this is that I find it very easy to apply and I can get a good shape. The cons are that it doesn't last for very long literally can rub off in like 30 minutes, even when I set it with black eye shadow so it's not very long lasting.
