No microplastics, long lasting, great for smudgy more natural look. Buy it.
This product does not contain any microplastics and it works better than Stila gel eyeliner. It does not draw a harsh fake line, but a softer, smudgy look and safe for waterline. It lasts all day, especially if I use eyeshadow over it. And the price is unbeatable.

Will buy on rotation
Great eyeliner that goes on smooth and does not smudge. Very sturdy gel liner that does not break. Good value for the cost.

Smooth, Affordable, and Long-Lasting
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.

Beautiful color, goes on easily, dries down and stays put.
What else can I say and what else can one ask for from an eyeliner? Others have sung the praises of this eyeliner. I read the reviews and made my purchase. Small gamble, essence has reasponable prices so I took a chance hoping I'll like this eyeliner too. I got mine yesterday, used it today, and I am very happy with my purchase. I also am now singing its praises.

Bold Lines That Stay All Day!
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!

Essence Nude Liner
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.

High-end quality for a nominal price
Love these eyeliners. Very smooth application (for reference, I'm in my 60s and these pencils glide on my older eyelids), terrific color payout, long-lasting and very affordable priced. Will definitely repurchase.
