essence Stay & Play Gel Eyeliner Pencil (04 | Ice Ice Baby), Vegan

I feel like I’ve used hundreds of different eyeliners and this is my favorite, truly. It goes on very smooth and literally last all day without smudging. You can even blend out a little under or on top of the eye with a small brush and it looks beautiful. I tight line my upper lashes and lower line and it also last all day. Pretty amazing product, especially for the price. I have all the colors.

This is one of the best eye liners. Why?? Low cost , goes on smoothly and stays on all day. I am so happy to find a great liner. Try it you'll like it.

Very impressive! I have to say that being 60 yrs old you don't want smudges underneath your eyes. It ages you terribly. This product has several seconds of play time then STAYS ALL DAY LONG without budging. NO racoon eyes, no smearing, no transfer or budging once it sets. Beautiful color and not too harsh while still being dark. Easy to hold, easy to blend in the first few seconds after applying. Very DIFFICULT to wash off with just facial cleanser but that's ok with me. LOVE IT!!

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 was really surprised at how well this worked compared to the price. It truly is waterproof and works great on the water line or for tight lining. I will no longer spend $25 on an eyeliner pencil. The colors are represented accurately in the picture. There is no tug when I apply the eyeliner, they are very gel-like and smooth

Got this in the color nude specifically for my lower waterline, the color is a bright nude, almost shocking. Not sure why it's called "Stay & Play" because it doesn't even "stay & work". Once applied there are gaps or breaks in the line of color. It also dissipates while wearing, especially in the corner near tear ducts, and I'm not a watery eyed woman. Absolutely zero stickiness, has a nice texture, brightens/widens my eyes(nude color), however it is not waterproof. Another thing that boggles my mind is I cannot figure out how to sharpen the pencil! I've tried multiple times and to no avail. Otherwise, I am quite pleased with the price point and consider this a decent product, especially if it doesn't skip and you're able to sharpen it.

Great eyeliners! And I love the blue shade. It makes my brown eyes pop. Stays pretty well all day. Most eyeliners run down my face, so I usually stick to eyeshadow as eyeliner. But I used this in my water line and it stayed pretty well. All in all, great liner. Especially for the price.

The Essence Gel Eyeliner is an excellent budget-friendly product that performs just as well as many high-end brands. The formula is creamy and glides on smoothly without tugging on the eyelids. It provides rich, intense color in a single stroke and is easy to apply, whether you’re creating a thin line or a dramatic wing. I was impressed by its long-lasting wear. Once it sets, it stays in place for hours with minimal smudging or fading. The texture is soft enough for easy blending but dries down nicely for a polished look. It’s perfect for everyday makeup as well as more glamorous styles. Overall, this eyeliner offers amazing quality for the price and is a must-have for anyone looking for a reliable, highly pigmented gel eyeliner.

Amazing and lasts forever, also doesn't melts all day!

Extremely smudgey. I applied it as an eyeliner above my eyelid and about an hour later it had smudged all around my eyes. The color is nothing like what is shown I Bought midnight sky. Not worth buying however cheap.
