e.l.f Liquid Eyeliner Review

I bought this for like, $3 or $5 on iherb. I'm not big on liquid eyeliner, or eyeliner at all because I'm such a special person when it comes to something so delicate like this.

I like the look of the bottle. It's nice. Black, sleek, and just appealing. The brush and handle sits in the hand nicely for easy application. However, that's where the good stops for me.

Managed to put some on my eyelid, but as I said, I'm not very good so obviously its not perfect, and I'm just playing around with it. Then I feel a burning sensation and I look at my eye - its completely black, including the white of my eye. Somehow, this wonderful product has slipped through my lashes and into my eyeball, making me look like some creature you'd find in a video game. And this was just with one or two flicks after I wiped the brush on the bottle.

So I'm standing in my bathroom mirror, admiring my new eye, because lets face it, it looks pretty cool, but can't be that good for the eye. I get some jojoba oil on some toilet paper to wipe the eyeliner off and I rinse my eye and blink furiously to get the black ink out. The eyeliner came off easily enough but I looked like I had raccoon eyes for the first few wipes of the oil.

Overall, I wouldn't purchase again. I may use it again just to play around but I don't really think my eyes appreciated their mini makeover, so maybe not!

I'm not a huge fan of liquid eyeliner and the reason is that I'm not good at applying eyeliner. The reason I purchased this eyeliner was because it was cheap, but promised that it would give precision upon application and be dramatic on eyes.... Lies!

Firstly the quality of the eyeliner is like water. Its so running and when you apply it onto your eye its not black at all. Because its a watery consistency, the application gives a sheer line which needs millions of more application to have an opaque line.

That tip... Dreadful! I cannot get precise application and the tip is so weak and more like a paintbrush than a makeup brush. I much prefer a shorter condense brush for more control over the long brush that comes with this eyeliner.

This eyeliner doesnt get any love from me and I'm scared to pass it along to anybody else in fear that they will hate it.

i absolutely would NOT recommend this liner. i purchased it because it was cheap, and swatched alright on my hand. When i went to use it on my eyes, the consistency was very runny and sheer. I had to build it up with many coats to get the opaque black i was after. When i took my makeup off that night my eyes were stinging, and where i had applied the liner, was now all red. Almost like i had applied red liquid liner! It hurt so much, so i threw it out.

I am not a fan of this elf liquid eyeliner, although it was a thin consistency it was easy to apply. The applicator is a small brush and is easy to brush on the lid but it claims to be smudge-proof and rich in colour which is not true as i had trouble with it smudging and getting it really black, i needed to keep brushing over the line at least three times and even then it wasn't really black enough. Packaging is really simple. Price wise it was really good it only cost me two or three dollars off iherb so i wasn't expecting much and i ended up using it to try get better at my wings! so even though i wasn't a big fan of it , i still used it up! I wouldn't recommend to a friend as i think there are way better liquid eyeliners.

I cant say i like this product at all. I draw eyeliner on on a daily basis, and i have tried every eyeliner there is on sale these days! What attracted me to this product was the price. I was very excited to try this product next time i was to put make up on. As i went to try this, it took me about 5-6 layers to finally get the eyeliner to be pure dark. The first layer didnt seem well to stick to my skin, it had a lot of lines through it where you could see skin underneath, if you know what i mean. After 5 or so layers it did look nice, but the product does not last all day. It tends to start wearing off after a few hours. I would not recommend this to any of my friends as i know they wont, as well as myself, have all the time in the world to apply this eyeliner.

I Love elf products, but truth be told, they can be pretty hit or miss, and this was a big, fat, let down! I'm still pretty bitter about it (even though it was only $3)l

I brought this on iherb, so yes it was $3. A great price for an eyeliner if you ask me. I had read a lot of reviews, and people were calling this their holy grail. A holy grail eyeliner for $3? That was enough to make me whip out the old credit card.

This liner comes in the same packaging as the revlon one. It comes in a small container, with a wand that it attached to the lid. Simply turn the lid to pull out the wand.

The wand has an almost paint brush tip on the end, its really soft and thin so relatively easy to draw that perfect line. However, the formula is very smooth and runny which means it is quite easy to make a mess of your eyeliner if you are not paying attention.

This eyeliner goes on black as night, which is exactly what I want. But by the end of the day, the black had faded, and it is more a charcoal grey which is not a good look. I will keep trying to love this eyeliner, maybe I just got a bad bottle, I will never know... but for the time being I will be sticking with me Za Liquid liner.. that thing is amazing!

Easy to apply and draw sharp lines but found it stuck my eyelashes together, even the next day after using oil based eye make up remover my eyelashes still felt like they were stuck together

I didn;t like this eyeliner. Although the applicator is really easy to use and it is hypoallergenic, the color pay off was really watered down and did not show as "true black" on me which I like liquid eyeliners to do and although this eyeliner is super cheap I wouldn't buy it again.

I must admit, I tried this on a bit of a whim because I had used a few other products from the same brand that I liked. I already have a favourite every day liquid eyeliner, but it's pretty pricy and I decided to give something cheaper a go.

Initially I was pleased. I liked the fine brush and application was smooth and easy, if a little watery. I was able to build up the line gradually and neatly without too much trouble.

Unfortunately where this eyeliner soon let me down was in its staying power. It was already looking visibly faded a mere two or three hours after application. By lunch time there were a few decent flakes missing, leaving gaps in the line. By the time I got home from work, my wings had all but disappeared.

It didn't irritate my eyes but I was very, very disappointed with the overall effect. I demand thick black lines that stay there all day. I won't buy this again.

I tried out the e.l.f liquid eyeliner recently to practice doing my winged eyeliner. The packaging is nice, it comes with a small applicator brush to apply it with. When I applied this to my eye lid the I found I had to paint on quite a few layers to make it look good, the little brush was very hard to apply it with and I kept smudging the eyeliner. I also found this eye liner really hard to remove even when using makeup wipes or remover it seemed to stain the skin around my eyes. I think this eyeliner is okay for the price, but I will not be repurchasing as it was to fiddly to use.
