A while back I decided I wanted to try
a different type of eyeliner because liquid wasn’t working so well for me, so I
decided to look into cream/gel eyeliners. I had heard about the e.l.f one
before and decided I would give it ago, plus I was already into e.l.f products
and I had never experienced anything negative from the brand.
I’ve tried four shades and they are Black, which is a dark charcoal black, Coffee, which is a matte medium toned
coffee brown and Punk Purple, which
is a metallic deep royal. I had to throw all three away for reasons I will
explain.
The packaging is a cube shaped clear
plastic container with a black plastic lid. You have to twist the lid to get it
off and it is mean’t to be air tight. You also get a free small angled eyeliner
brush with each shade. The formula is dryer than gel eyeliners because it is
cream based and the formula is not really glossy looking. You get 4.7g of
product in each container.
This product is mean’t to give you
smooth, defined and precise lines and it is mean’t to be smudge-proof,
budge-proof and water resistant, as well as combating against sweat, tears and
rain.
When you first use it, the product is
brilliant. It is creamy, smooth, defining and precise and has great
pigmentation. The downside is that it doesn’t take long for the product to dry
out and shrink. One day the container is full and then it is barely there. I
only used mine a couple of times before that happened. Even when it was at it’s
best, I still wouldn’t say it was completely smudge-proof, budge-proof and
water resistant. Also, the purple shade arrived cracked so the whole thing fell
out as a dry purple lump! The brush that is included is ok, but it is very
small if you are not used to doing your eyeliner with a brush, especially an
angled brush.
Overall, it starts out as a perfect
cream eyeliner and then gradually disappears, literally! The shade selection is
brilliant, but my experiences with all three of mine have put me off
completely.
