Get it! Worth every penny.
I love this eyeliner. It goes on smoothly, doesn’t require a sharpener, and never irritates my eyes. No budge is a stretch though. It definitely rubs off and smudges, but it isn’t bad. Most of it stays put. For the cost savings, that little bit of movement is worth it.

Glad I Found This
The price is right, glides on smooth, and looks great. I can make my lines really thin or super thick. Lasts all day.

Average
I didn’t find it really any better than competeive brands but I do like that it is thin so it goes on easier. However, it broke after three uses. Not waterproof.

Smudges
Just bought it and it was smudging so much. I am definitely not using it again.

Best eyeliner ever
I have been using this eyeliner for about 10 years. It doesn’t smudge it doesn’t budge. You don’t have to worry about raccoon eyes. It goes on smoothly and stays on for up to six hours. Great product.

Used it for the first time today - stayed exactly where I put it all throughout a 9 hour work day. Awesome stuff.

Not bad for the price!
Goes on very smoothly. Lasts a decent amount of time. Not smudge resistant though. Easy to apply.

Only one I wear
I have been using this eyeliner for years. I wouldn’t say that it is smudge-proof, but I love it. I find that it’s creamy and easy to apply. It covers well, and I honestly don’t have an issue it lasting all day. Occasionally I might need to clean up an edge because of a smudge, but it really is a great product for the value.

Great product but not for me
This was the first time I'd tried an eyeliner. This product was easy to open and apply. The eyeliner is retractable, so it's easy to keep your eyeliner shape fresh. I tested the eyeliner before my initial wearand i'm glad I did. The eyeliner applies evenly. It was a bit stiff and waxy since it was new. I was able to apply it without any real issue. But a few minutes after applying it, my eyelid began to tingle and feel itchy. It turns out I had a reaction to the eyeliner. I wore it for a few hours, and by the time I removed the liner, I noticed my eyelid had swollen a bit. I don't know if it was a reaction to something in the eyeliner itself or if it was a sensitivity to the waterproof element.

THE WORST
Every few years I forget that I have previously tried this product and repurchase it. However, after its first application I am immediately reminded of ALL its faults. Smudge-y (despite its name) and yet somehow IMPOSSIBLE to remove with even the strongest makeup remover. What I hate the most, however, is how loose the actual product is within the plastic applicator - because it wiggles loosely within the barrel, it is impossible to apply in a precise line. Truly the worst eyeliner on the market, and maybe the worst product in the entire elf product line.
