Excellent eyeliner for the price

I bought this pen from Farmers about a month ago. I have used a couple of eyeliner pens before, mainly coloured ones and this was so cheap that I had to give it a try.

I like the packaging, it looks sleek and not cheap and nasty looking. The pen tip is quite long and also quite flexible. I think I was expecting a shorter, harder tip. anyway, I do find this really easy to use, I can easily get a nice fine line on my upper eyelid. The only reason I haven't rated it a full 5 stars is because if you put it over eyeshadow, you kind of have to go over the line a couple of times to get it a proper black colour. For the price though, I feel like it is a really excellent product and you can't really go wrong. Obviously there would be better eyeliners out there, but I doubt that they would be in this price range!

I have also managed to do a winged line with this pen as well, I don't think it would have been as easy to do with a gel or pencil.

The lasting power is great as well, once it's on it doesn't smudge or transfer anywhere. I don't set it in anyway. It comes off easily with makeup wipes or remover as well which is a bonus.

I've been reaching for this over all my other liners pretty much everyday for the last month and it is still working well. It's hard to tell when it would be used up because you can't see through the tube and it doesn't wind up or anything. If it lasts me at least another month, then I would be happy for the amount of use versus the price.

I definitely recommend this product, especially if you are wanting to try out more daring eyeliner styles like the winged look.

Perfect, Easy Wings Everytime :)

Ive been on the hunt for a new eyeliner as I started getting into using one again recently. I picked this one up from Farmers as I thought it looked like a good one to try and it was a good price. The packaging itself is pretty solid which I like and its not awkward to hold or anything like that. Its just the right size and I have been using it daily since I brought it a month or two ago. It is awesome to use to do winged liner! So easy and simple to use. It lasts all day and It comes off with makeup remover. I'm so glad I brought this to try, Its worth it!

Tips: You will need a makeup remover to remove this easily.

Good Quality for the Price

I saw this in Farmers and thought I'd give it a go. Purchased this when I was novice at winged eyeliner and found this easy to use and helped with getting a great wing every time. Only problem I had was trying to get the actual product out of the pen tip. I think this would be mostly due to my lack of experience with this liquid eyeliner in general, so I was new to using an eyeliner pen.

Good considering the price

I bought this to try out and found it better than some of the higher end brands I've tried that have failed me! It's easy to apply and the colour doesn't run, although you do have to go over your line a couple of times. Its fairly easy to do a wing with this.

Tips: If you find this hard to use, trace out your wing and then go over it with another liquid eyeliner.

Cheap and awesome!

Iv used liquid eyeliners in the past but not a pen one, so when i saw this for such a small price in farmers and already loving essence brand i thought id give it a go. Im pretty happy with it! I can effortlessly use this product and creates a sharp easy wing. The only down side to this is if you want it black black you may need to go over it twice and i found it didnt go ontop of some eye shadows well, seemed like it would stick to my eyelid as well.

Tips: Definitely need makeup remover for this, bonus is it stays all day long!

Essence has done it again

Essence has really impressed me with their lovely lippies and blushes, and needing an eyeliner I couldn't wait to try this. Would it be as good as the other Essence products I've tried? And the answer is most definitely yes.

The packaging is super simple, yet stylish. It comes in a black, sleek looking pen like shape. Modern looking and just functional. The only thing is it's quite easy to get lost in my makeup bag with the other black items!

The eyeliner pen is comfortable to grip and the tip is quite fine. I've used pencils, gels and other pens in the past and this is very easy to use in comparison. I'm definitely not a master at eyeliner, but this has made it so much easier, and its great for doing winged eyeliner, as the tip is fine.

The formula is nice and gentle on my eyes, as my eyes can be sensitive- but no issues at all using this.

With a steady hand this makes putting eyeliner on much more smoothly than other products I've tried. The only downside is sometimes you have to repeat the line you have created, as the formula seemed to not come out as quickly as I'm used to.

Overall, I've tried quite a few eyeliners and this one is definitely great quality for the price. Also, even though it's affordable it's so gentle on my sensitive eyes. Yet another winner from Essence.

you bought it, glad you like it. Yeah to me I have the same downside but it seems so little compared to the price and how easy it is to use.

YES

I love this eyeliner so much. It's so easy to apply and it doesn't smudge. To be honest, I don't even really care whether it does what it's supposed to or not. It works for me personally and it's cheap. I love affordability.

Where have you been all my life!

I picked this up at price wise and had my doubts that it would actually stay put like a good liquid liner should.. Well it exceeded my expectations and I was stoked.. $5.99 you say? Well yes I will be adding these to my kit yay! Essence rocks!

Tips: just be careful if your new to eyeliner pens, as this has a very bendy tip which usually is quite ridged in other brands, so I guess might be easier to make mistakes?!

"Superfine"

I bought this on a whim after spending months wanting to try liquid eyeliner but being to scared to attempt it. I decided it was time to step out of my comfort zone and try this out.

As a beginner, I found this very easy to control. I am able to draw a line to my desired thickness. Wings are still a work in progress but I think that's mostly due to my lack of skill, if I'm being honest. I'd definitely recommend this product to people who are new to liquid eyeliner.

Super thin!

I am incredibly fussy with liquid liner, so when I spotted this in Farmers I couldn't go past the price. The package promised a super fine, pigmented liner and it didn't lie!

The packaging looks and feels expensive. It reminds me a lot of Stila's felt tip pen liner. The tube is sleek and, as promised, the tip is super fine. Because this is a felt tip liner, I would recommend shaking it before using it.

This is a super pigmented, black liner. It dries matte and doesn't go in any fine lines on my eyes. Once it is dry it doesn't smudge or move provided you don't touch it.

However, I found that this doesn't last on me all day. I do have oily lids so it could be possible that the oils in my lids cause this to fade. Unfortunately by the end of the day this looks really faded on me, which is why I will not repurchase it. Perhaps if you have dry lids this will last on you longer? I do prime my eyes any time I wear makeup and even different primers haven't solved this issue.

This is great for short term (5 hours or less), wear though.
