e.l.f. No Budge Retractable Eyeliner, Creamy, Ultra-Pigmented & Waterproof, Creates Bold & Defined Lines, Vegan & Cruelty-Free, Black

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 pigmentation—the 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 you’re looking for an ultra-pigmented, easy-to-use eyeliner with a smooth formula, this is worth trying—just be mindful of potential smudging depending on your skin type and wear time.

I love this eyeliner!! It is easy to apply and goes on smooth. It doesn't break like other eyeliner pencils. Great price!!

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.

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.

I ordered and received a ripped empty package. Ordered replacement and it came the next day. This was purchased as a deal item. It is pretty good. Espresso shade, perfect for nude natural eye makeup. The pic shows two strokes applied 2 hrs ago and one fresh stroke. It does not budge and is surely waterproof!

Goes on smooth but dries up and starts cracking. Doesn't stay on waterline to good had to reapply 4 times before I left the house. Not bad for the price but looking for something that doesn't dry out and stays on. Gonna go back to felt tip liquid eye liner

I bought the gray. The product said it was ultra pigmented and it is. The gray is dark. A nice color of dark gray. It goes on smooth and stays all day.It is easy to remove with eye makeup removal pads.

Best eyeliner I have ever used thus far… all I ever wear is eyeliner and I have tried several and elf is by far my favorite!!! Elf eyeliner glides easy, easy to apply, stays on all day, last a long time as far as the size of the retractable eye liner.. wearing it daily, one will last me about 2 months but I subscribe and save each month!!! Will continue to buy.. cannot beat the price either which is definitely a huge plus!!!!
