Tell-All Tuesday: e.l.f. Essential Waterproof Eyeliner Pen |
$1.00 + shipping
if ordering online.
So I'm going to
keep this very short and simple, but let me first begin by saying I am the
biggest eyeliner junkie you will ever meet: I have tried them all. No, but
really.
e.l.f. Essential
Waterproof Eyeliner Pen claims to provide you with a "no smudge with no-budge
eyeliner, which creates a fabulous and fresh look of precision that lasts for
hours. The smooth pen applicator easily glides on color for very fine to bold
lines for effortless beauty."
To cut straight to the chase, this product really did
nothing for me. I picked one up at Target and was pumped to try it (as I always
am to try new products, especially when they could potentially save me a
significant amount of money in the future), but ended up being thoroughly disappointed. I
first tested the product on the back of one of my hands (as I usually do with
just about any new product I am trying) and was initially quite impressed. The
liner glided on, as stated in the description, easily and had great, bold
pigmentation. I tried to smudge the liner with my finger and it (surprisingly)
didn't budge. I then proceeded to use some hand sanitizer in attempts to remove
it and even then the liner was still somewhat visible. This looked very promising.
Unfortunately the
great results were only the case on my bare, otherwise makeupless hand. When I tried to
apply this liner on top of any sort of makeup (concealer, foundation, mineral
foundation, powdered or cream eye shadow) it simply will not show up,
which I found kind of frustrating. Replacing the lid doesn’t help to re-wet the
applicator tip with more product, and shaking it certainly didn’t get the liner
flowing either. Maybe if you are planning on having a naked eye with just
liquid liner this would be a great product, but in correlation with any other types
of makeup, this liner is close to useless.
Good thing it was
only a dollar, right?
