essenceStay & Play Gel Eyeliner | Super Soft Gel-like Texture | Waterproof & Longlasting | Vegan & Cruelty Free (01 Black Raven)

This is my favorite eyeliner! I have green eyes and I find that purple eye makeup brings out the color. I am not talented with eyeshadow though so I enjoy purple eyeliner. The purple shade is very dark-- no one realizes it is purple until I tell them. Those who are looking for statement eyeliner should look elsewhere!These pencils are easy to sharpen and last a long time. This is my daily eyeliner and one typically lasts me 3-4 months. The line is long-lasting as well-- I put it on in the AM and never have to touch it up even on my oily lids. It removes fairly easy with makeup remover or petroleum jelly.Buy it now!!!

Love this eye liner, bold black, lasting stays on, soft on eye lids, smudge resistant for sure! Easy application, recommend it for sure

I picked up the essence Stay & Play Gel Eyeliner on a whim, and it’s honestly one of the best budget eyeliners I’ve tried. It’s super soft, glides on easily, and stays in place most of the day.Pros:Smooth Application: The gel formula is creamy and easy to apply—no tugging or skipping.Great Pigment: Comes out bold and rich, even in one swipe.Affordable: At this price, it’s a steal—feels like a product twice the cost.Waterline Friendly: Gentle enough to use on the waterline without irritation.Decent Staying Power: Holds up well through most of the day without major smudging.Cons:Needs Sharpening: It’s not a twist-up, so you’ll need a sharpener to keep the tip precise.Can Smudge on Oily Skin: If you have very oily lids, it may fade or smudge after a few hours.Not Waterproof: It’s long-lasting, but not completely waterproof—will fade with heavy sweating or rubbing.Final Thoughts:If you're looking for an eyeliner that’s soft, pigmented, and affordable, this one delivers. It’s perfect for everyday use and easy to apply, especially if you’re in a rush.Highly recommend for anyone wanting a smooth gel liner without spending a fortune.

I love green and this liner is affordable, pigmented and will last a long time. It is a medium green and a normal sized eyeliner. I use this for my waterline. I love to use pop colors for spring and summer or certain events (sports games, holidays). I also love essence and have not been disappointed with a product yet. You can also find essence in beauty supply stores for same price and in person look.

Bought this to replace my Rimmel eyeliner, which may be no longer in production. This was a winner, goes on with a creaminess that I am very appreciative of. wish I had ordered multiples....i love the midnight blue tones. have not sharpened as of yet.... hope that is as easy as the application. a GOOD buy.

Nice stay on liner however you can’t sharpen it without messing up the product wasn’t worth it

I’m leaving a honest review because I go through a lot of eyeliner’s.And if smudges ,I don’t care how much it cost.I just wont use it.This eyeliner here works.Buy it.You are going to love the results.I usually go over my gel eyeliner with liquid.But with this one it’s real not necessarily.The color really pops.

Absolutely LOVE these eye liners. Soft, easy to use EXCEPT for sharpening. The pencil is plastic and when I put it into the sharpener, I can't turn either the sharpener or the pencil, I have to have my husband sharpen for me. Other than that, I love these!
