essence | Stay & Play Gel Eyeliner | Super Soft Gel-like Texture | Waterproof & Longlasting | Vegan & Cruelty Free (07 Emerald Dragon)

Absolutely love this eye liner.. It goes on super smooth. Doesn't smudge at all. Doesn't run. I have very sensitive skin, to the point of my eyes swell up. This is the only eye liner that doesn't irritate my skin. Love the look and feel of this product, this specific one im using as a lip liner. It is most definitely waterproof, last all day. Did not wash off in the shower but it did with makeup remover.

This eyeliner is my new ride-or-die. The essence Stay & Play Gel Eyeliner in Black Raven glides on like butter and delivers rich, jet-black pigment that makes my eyes pop instantly. Whether I’m going for a sleek wing or a smudgy smoky vibe, it holds up beautifully—no smudging, no fading, even after a long day.I love that it’s waterproof and vegan, and the gel-like texture feels super gentle on my lids. It’s not retractable, so you’ll need a sharpener, but that’s a small trade-off for the performance. Plus, it’s cruelty-free and budget-friendly, which makes it a total win in my book.If you want bold definition without the drama of touch-ups, this eyeliner is a must-have. It’s proof that great makeup doesn’t have to come with a high price tag!

I was impressed by how smooth this eyeliner glides on—no tugging or skipping. The pigment is rich and lasts all day without smudging, even in warm weather. It’s creamy enough for blending but sets nicely for long wear. For the price, this is a great find and has become one of my go-to eyeliners. I’d happily repurchase

This eyeliner is my holy grail for an everyday smoky eyeliner and under the lid lashline option! Definitely amazing considering how inexpensive it is. You put it on, smudge it with a small brush quickly, and it stays in place all day! It’s not just great for the money, it’s just a great eyeliner! My only drawback is that there aren’t more color options.

My new everyday eyeliner. Compliments my green eyes very well. The texture is so creamy that it goes on smooth and blends easy. I like a thin line so I have to sharpen it often.

I thought I loved this liner (Berry) - it was a pretty color, went on super smoothly, great. BUT, it tints my contact lenses pink! I must get it in my eye and spread over the lens. Eieww...As a eye care professional & someone who does not want to look high or demented, I do not recommend.

This eyeliner crayon is great for mature skin. It is soft and glides smoothly over your eye lids. The colors are beautiful, I bought them all!You can’t beat the price! I paid over $20 for a brand highly promoted for mature skin and it wasn’t even close to this one.The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it is a crayon pencil and it has to be sharpened all the time to work best. Sharpeners are messy but it’s worth the effort.
