ELF regular line / essentials liquid eyeliner in black !!

Hello gorgeous ones!!

Today's review is going to be all about 

ELF regular line / essentials liquid eyeliner in black

PACKAGING
 I don't really like the packaging.
I usually like my liquid liners in a big tube and a smaller wand.
It's not bad,
and it doesn't really bother me,
but it's not my cup of tea.

WAND
 The tip is quite stiff,
and I quite like how sturdy it is,
but I think it is not the most appropriate wand to go with this product
It's a sponge, so I quite like that,
I prefer sponges to brushes
as I find them easier to control


TEXTURE
Quite runny,
Slow drying,
a little sheer in intensity

LASTING POWER
Not so good.
It lasts 3-4 hours as it is, then it starts fading
and tearing
and what not.




SMUDGING
It doesn't really smudge,
but it definitely is not smudge proof,
in the sense that
if you rub the product it WILL fade quite easily.

WATERPROOF
 Well,
it's waterproof.
Unless you decide to gently rub it while wet.
But since the product already comes off while dry with smudging.
This didn't surprise me.




SHADE
It's quite an intense shade of black,
but it's a little too sheer for my liking.
And it's not buildable because you might end up dragging the product around
as you're reapplying.
Glossy finish. Don't like that. 


PIGMENTATION
Quite pigmented,
I think there is just too much water in the formula.


APPLICATION
I found it quite hard to apply my liner with this.
It was hard to even the eyes out and took ages.

FINISH
 Glossy.
I don't like glossy finishes,
I think they look too fake.

BOTTOM LINE
I'd skip on this if I were you and stock up on ELF's cream liner in black.
