- " I have tried a numerous waterproof eyeliner pens and non of them seemed to last for even an hour , I would put them on in the morning and in the afternoon I would look like if someone had punched me in the eye , so one day I decided to try this e.l.f. waterproof eyeliner pen because it was just one dollar plus I had nothing to lose . I honestly was expecting another no good eyeliner just like the rest of the ones that I've tried , but I definitely was wrong . The product lasts for hours I put it on at 10:30am & when I come home from college at 9:00pm it is still there and I only put make up on once a day I never retouch plus it doesn't smudge and it also cleans off very easily . It's been a year since I first tried it and I wouldn't change this product for anything :)" in 463 reviews

This eyeliner has been my least favorite liner ever used. Following my initial purchase, this eyeliner had a low quality level and ran out of ink within a ridiculously short period. Thus, upon using this eyeliner pen, it provided zero to little precision. As I tried drawing a winged liner line, this pen often skipped over my skin and applied blotchy. I believe I could have obtained more precision if using a Crayola drawing marker. Also, the next reason why I did not like this eyeliner pen is because it ran out of ink within a couple of days. Despite it not being the most precise liner, I was still eager to use this liner to its completion. However, it was completely bereft of ink within less than 48 hours. Thus, I do not consider this product worth even its low price tag. Lastly, I have enjoyed certain other Elf products. But in the case of this eyeliner, the only positive attribute I can find is that now I have the knowledge to never again purchase this liner. Perhaps I purchased one from a bad batch, but I will still not wish to purchase this liner again.

This is definitely a "get what you paid for" eyeliner for me. I bought it because I just wanted a small makeup kit at work (as I usually don't leave time to do it at home) that wasn't breaking the bank. The first few times, this eyeliner worked super well (which is why this isn't a 1 star review). It was dark without having to go over the line multiple times and the felt tip was easy to control. It made the nice lines I needed it to. We are probably about 2 weeks into this eyeliner (not every day use) and it's already dropped dramatically in opaqueness. I also always made sure the cap was on securely (as it is a bit finicky for me). Essentially, I would really recommend this only if you are in a pinch (like maybe away on a short holiday and forgot your eyeliner) with a very tight budget.

This is really the only product I ever use for eyeliner. It goes on so easily, and stays on all day. Truly is waterproof as well. There is some discrepancy within the type of pen you'll get. Sometimes you'll get duller ones and sometimes you'll get really sharp ones (they are brushes, but if you get what I mean).
Both are useful for different areas. I typically use the sharp ones for the wing part, and the duller ones for the waterline on my top eyelid. This product can dry out, but most last me for months!

I picked up this E.L.F. eyeliner pen in black from CVS in a pinch one day for some liquid eyeliner. It only cost me $3, so it totally saved me that day!!! The eyeliner itself applies liquidy and smooth. Not patchy or messy at all. Unfortunately, I found that it doesnt stay in place very well. It completely smeared just from touching my eye hours after it was applied, as if it never actually set. I use it now to practice my wings since it comes off so easily, but probably wont be wearing it on a day where my eye looks will matter. Spend the extra $$ and go with something like Stila for a good liquid pen.

The good thing is that using this is like drawing on your eyelids, is easy to control, which is good for begginers. The bad thing is that it doesn't look pigmented, it applies like it was diluted with water, you know, when you mascara is not waterproof and you start crying and get a mess on your face, that mess is not black black, is like mascara and water (tears, in this case), that's the color this thing is. I had to go over it several times to get it to look a bit black and ended using a pencil on top of it because it just didn't work fine. It's like the liquid was old and drying up. I didn't like this product.

For the price ($3!!!!) this product is fantastic. It went on very smoothly and doesn’t smear. It makes very intense, bold lines which makes my eyes pop. I bought it at Target which is really close to my house and super convenient for me. Even after being out in the Texas heat, the rest of my skin was oily, but the lines had not smeared whatsoever. I used to use the NARS Night Series Eyeliner but it would always have very blurry edges and didn’t “pop.” For only $3, I am very happy with this product and will definitely be buying it again.

Purchased this eyeliner at target for an extremely affordable price. Used it about two times and it immediately stopped working. I tried everything that I could to get the ink back into the felt tip, but nothing would work. The odd thing is that I make sure that all the caps to my beauty products are on before putting them away. It might have been just a bad batch. Other than that, it applied nicely. I just wished I didn’t have to throw it away. Since it is so affordable I may give it another try sometime.
If you don't want to spend a ton of money, but still want quality makeup, elf is the way to go! I got this in a free gift when i ordered online. I usually don't wear waterproof eyeliner, but this changed my perspective on it. It stays put and is really easy to apply. I love how smooth it goes on. Also it has a small tip and gets wider so you depending on how you apply it, you can get a thin to thicker line. Just wish they would offer more colors. I have recommended this to a lot of ppl.
Been using this for about a week now. I love e.l.f cosmetics. I'm def a mom on a budget who absolutely loved makeup and this is super affordable.im a server at a restaurant and this eyeliner stays through my entire shift. The only down fall is during application it doesn't go on as well as I would have hoped that it would but, I def love the waterproof aspect of it.i prefer gel over liquid usually anyways.but all and all its worth the price.very cheap and works decently well.

this product works not well at all. i admit its quite affordable it was like 2 or 3 dollars but this product just ruins the name of elf cosmetics. i used to use it everyday. this product dried up on me after using it for a week it literally wouldnt work after i kept giving it chances thru out the week like it dried up o me on day 3 but then i kept trying and shaking it maybe it might work and live longer but no it landed in my trash on day 6 if i could i would give it 0 stars

I think I may have gotten a bad one too. There's a lot of positive reviews but I had a bad experience. The tip is pretty dry but the base has a lot of ink. But it's a reasonable price I may spring for another.
Does it ever dry out fast?

You have to make sure the cap is on really tight, because I haven't closed mine all the way before and it's dried out by the next day! The product does its job and lasts pretty long as far as eyeliner pens go, but I would recommend the liquid eyeliner because I've literally had mine for 6 months and it hasn't run out yet and I do winged eyeliner every day!
How well does this eyeliner work?

I don't even think you need water to take this stuff off....All I did was touch it and it came off. Pass on this one!
Does this smudge? Is it long lasting?
