I recently purchased this product as I wasn't able to find the other essence waterproof liner that I use.
It was after a year that that eyeliner had finished.
The product is affordable and easy to use, however not as long lasting as I expected. Slight tearing from my eyes does smudge it.
It's easy to apply thankfully, the pen design does wonders.
I purchased this product because I wanted to create precise and thin winged eyeliner looks. I have hooded eyes so using a brush and a gel pot created way too thick of a line. I also wanted a product with which I could tightline just above my lashes.'
Because I'm still experimenting with winged eyeliner looks I purchased the Essence pen because it is so affordable.
Pros:
Great for precise lines
Lasts long on the lid
Applicator tip is great and makes it easy to apply
Cons
Colour does fade
It smudges if you're not careful
Does tug the skin
I think this would be great for beginners but I'm not too impressed.
I wanted to love this, I really did! I am crazy for liquid eye liner pens as they make for easy application and tight lining comes naturally. I have explored many alternatives similar to this product but all of them are much the same. At first, the name is accurate and you get a superfine, smooth line which completes any look. But after a few uses, I find that the felt tip wears down and your fine line becomes an unattractive, jagged line. If you are a fan of wearing eyeshadow, especially cream, this is not the product for you. The felt tip gets messed up when applied over these popular products and although you may dodge this with the first few uses, you will definitely see the "dried-out" effect, shortly. This isn't the longest lasting product either, but I am yet to compare it to their latest range, "stays no matter what." I will give credit, where credit is due. This is a great product if you are new to liquid eyeliner and are wanting to practice before purchasing an expensive alternative. I love the convenience factor and the price is definitely something to brag about, being one of the cheapest on the market. If you don't really explore with eyeshadows and just want to tight line or add a little liner every now and then, I would recommend this product to you. But if you are like me, who likes to venture out and makes use of eyeshadows and eyeliner daily, then perhaps keep this in your handbag for the days that you want to touch up or just for the convenience of having it with you everyday and anywhere.
I wear winged eyeliner every day, so I was excited to try an affordable liquid liner for everyday use. I like the Essence pen, but it does tend to fade into my eyeshadow and so takes some reapplying to get it black. The shape of the felt tip is ideal for easy application, definitely recommend it for cat-eye virgins :)
