Nicely priced product
For the price, this product is worth it. I found it easy to apply and it didn’t smudge in the hot outdoor temperatures.

Make up
Absolutely the best eyeliner I’ve ever used.. goes on with ease and stays for a very long time. Very bold color with one go. Hands down the best and only eyeliner I will use

Worth trying, basically as described!
Pro: I like the brown color, softness and it glides well with the sharp point along the eye line on both upper and lower lashes. I was careful to let it set for 30 seconds so it wouldn’t smudge, and it lasted all day for me. I didn’t remove it with anything, just washed my face with tepid water and in the morning nothing was on my silk pillowcase so that was fine with me. I can’t comment on how waterproof it is, but it has great smudge resistance once set.Con: I’ve only used it once, so I have no idea how long it will last yet. It doesn’t have a built-in sharpener and crayon is quite thin so I’m not giving it 5 stars until I’ve had it long enough. If Amazon allows an update, I’ll do a followup review.

Smooth, easy, and a great value
Another solid ChatGPT recommendation! This eyeliner goes on smoothly, doesnât tug, and the retractable design means no sharpening needed, which I love. It seems to hold up well for everyday wear but I donât wear it often. I donât feel much eye irritation and is super affordable. Probably something Iâll keep reordering.

Works really well for filling in eyebrows perfectly!! Stays all day no smudges!
I use this stuff religiously. Itâs smudges so perfectly, but it totally stays in other ways. I use it to fill in when I stamp my eyebrows on with the mad love stuff. I use this to fill in Anything that didnât quite cover and this stays all day it never smudges ever even though it does smudge beautifully when youâre trying to smudge it once it set it doesnât move and it is the perfect color brown for eyebrows if youâre a brunette.

Beginner Friendly, Donât Expect Too Much!
I do like this product, it does work and it cruelty-free which are important to people. However, the product does not look have the same effect like the photos. It does smudge, does not create sharp thin lines, and does need multiple applications if you want the color to be bold. The product works for beginners who are just starting to experiment with makeup, it is not expected to have makeup artist standards.

Very good for the price
I literally just put this in the cart to get to the same day shipping minimum for something urgently needed, but I am glad I picked it. I wore this for the first time to an amusement park, so I can say it is rollercoaster proof.A lot of times, I end up with this extra arc of black where eyeliner meets the deeper part of my eyelid, and this was no exception. At this point, I think it is unavoidable. For five bucks, I don’t expect much. I would say it was a thinner and fainter streak than some $12 eyeliner I have used, which absolutely counts for something, but it did transfer a bit despite giving every effort for it to be totally dry/done before relaxing.Otherwise, it held up really well, stayed put. Easy to apply, I actually usually prefer liquid liner but this was a lot easier/forgiving.

Smooth Application with Long-Lasting Wear, but Not Entirely Smudge-Proof
The e.l.f. No Budge Retractable Eyeliner in Coffee is an affordable and versatile eyeliner that delivers strong pigmentation and smooth application. The creamy formula glides effortlessly across the skin, making it easy to create both bold and subtle looks without tugging on the delicate eye area. The retractable design is convenient, eliminating the need for sharpening and ensuring a mess-free experience.One of its strongest points is its rich pigmentationâthe deep coffee brown shade is perfect for those who want definition without the harshness of black. It works well for tightlining, smudging out for a softer effect, or even as a base for a smoky eye.However, while it claims to be “no budge,” it isn’t entirely smudge-proof, especially on oily lids or in humid conditions. It holds up decently for everyday wear but may require setting with a bit of powder or eyeshadow to prevent fading or transferring over time. Longevity is respectable, though not completely all-day wear for those with naturally oily eyelids.Overall, this is a great budget-friendly option that performs well for the price. If youâre looking for an ultra-pigmented, easy-to-use eyeliner with a smooth formula, this is worth tryingâjust be mindful of potential smudging depending on your skin type and wear time.

this went on smooth and washed off nicely. I liked that it is a warm shade of black. I don’t think there is enough product in the tube tough.
