    Essence should be ashamed, selling a product that can’t be sharpened or twisted up. I used this three times and can’t use again. Ridiculous.

    I bought the gel eyeliner and I really like it. But! You get, like, a 1/4 of an inch! I feel like there’s more in the pencil, and, if so, how do I get it out?? It doesn’t twist and you can’t sharpen, so what am I missing??

    I got this for my tightline my waterline because I saw that this was a dupe for the Urban Decay Legend. This eyeliner not only tightlines brilliantly, but I also used it to make the smoothest, sharpest winged liner and it didn't smudge or fade.

    I love this liner! I bought a neutral color for my waterline (I'm a tired stay at home Mom and it covers up the redness). It stays on in my waterline literally all day. It's still there when I go to wash my makeup off at the end of the day - do it's on over 12 hours. When I run out of my more expensive black liner I'm definitely replacing that one with this brand! Bonus- it goes on smoothly with no tugging

    Glides on very easily, doesn’t drag or leave gaps. Lasts all day. The espresso color is not as harsh as black so it’s good for everyday wear. At this price point, don’t expect miracles. But it does the job.

    i purchased this as a new line to try. i love the rasin color as i have green/blue eyes and its a color that is a go to for me. the first time wearing it it was ok i use it on my upper waterline as well as lower.. it clumped in my lashes and bleed onto my skin. i was not outside nor sweaty. By the end of the day it had made its way to the corners of my eyes!!! i tried it out a few more times. did not go on and stay in place as i used it more. now its rounded and i used the sharpener and that made the tip fall off so i had to sharpen more. it fell off again as i was reapplying it. I'm not at all impressed with this product aside from the color.

    I love this nude eyeliner! It really does stay on all day on my waterline and brightens and widens my the look of my eye. My only negative is that it doesn’t last long! It looks like it would be a pencil that twists to reveal more product but it does not.
