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

Great price and equally great quality. Smooth application and dark pigment. Glides smooth as well

Pro: I like both the brown and charcoal 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. Updated: 9-13-25 - I continue to purchase these when I need them, but I only use it 2 or 3 times a week. It has lasted me well enough, that I am giving it an extra star because it is soft and doesn't drag on my eyelids. I'm elderly now, so that's an important consideration as my skin ages! It's not 'waterproof' in my opinion, but that's an aspect that I prefer. It doesn't smear once set and comes off easily in the shower.

This is the best no budge eyeliner I’ve ever used. I can put it on in the morning and go all day without any smudges or “leakage” 😆 on or around my eyes. It goes on smooth and the color is rich. It’s a twist up eyeliner so no need for a sharpener. I use the coffee color and it’s a great rich brown color. I have blue eyes so that just seems to work best for me. I’ve purchased this eyeliner six times on Amazon. I will continue to use it as long as I can. I will say that when I started using it the cost was $5 and now it is $6 but I will say it is still worth the price. I also don’t have any trouble removing it with a simple face wash or make up remover wipe. This photo is after all day at work. I applied it at 6:00 am and it is now 5:20 pm.

I'm not a huge e.l.f fan but this eyeliner impressed me. It's soft and silky. The color is spot on. Application is easy and it looks amazing on. The longevity is fine for all day as long as you don't cry. In that case it provides racoon eyes. This is a good item at a good price point I recommend this eyeliner!

This is my go-to brow pencil! It's gorgeous and easy to apply!

Not bad, but not waterproof. Smudges. Even with makeup sealer. It did glide on nicely and looks great for about the first hour. I wear it maybe. Just not what I was hoping for.

The only eyeliner can't stray from for too long. I only wish there was a deep brown or espresso option. It actually goes on and stays on my waterline and doesn't stray too bad for not wearing other eye makeups. It goes on smoothly and great for me and looks really good all day

This is a very nice little eyeliner, especially for such a budget-friendly item. It glides on smoothly, and stays put. The taupe color looks natural, not artificial, with my grey/white hair. I’ll buy it again.

Very pigmented. Easy to apply. Wears well and it really makes my eyes pop. Doesn't budge yet it isn't a pain to remove.

Il n’y a pas beaucoup de matière en réserve mais excellente tenue !

While it does not budge, which I enjoy, it is very flimsy (the retractable pen is very unstable once retracted), and the application is not as smooth as I hoped.

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.
