H2O Proof Eyeliner Pen

Let me set the scene: - me? I’ve got oily eyelids. I’m Asian, things smudge, smear, and transfer because of the shape of my eyes. I have tried dozens upon dozens of liquid liners. I’ve worn liquid liner almost every day for the past two decades and I’ve tried every famous and non-famous niche brand you can think of. - where? I’m currently testing it in tropical southeast Asian jungle humidity. That means it’s 90° out and averaging 80%+ humidity. Your clothes are sticky wet just from existing outside so “waterproof” has to be “bulletproof” - to make things worse? I am sweatinnnnng. I am running all day. I took TWO showers. - RESULTS? this magical eyeliner did not budge! I looked fantastic, AFTER my TWO showers and 12hrs of humidity. I did my eyeliner in the morning and it sat unmoved in the most difficult of makeup environments the entire day. I did not use setting spray, I did not set it with eyeshadow, I even tightlined with it - UN. MOVED. Cherry on top: it was less than 1/3 of the cost of a comparable eyeliner. What a value!! The tip is sharp and comes to a fine point for a clean line application. The color payoff is RICHHHHHHHH. (In the words of Jaime foxx, it’s black. Blackety black black black.) it applies so smoothly and cleaner than any eyeliner I’ve ever had. I did not know that a liquid liner of this quality existed. I will never ever ever change to another formula as long as this one exists. Loyal for life. Ps - if you don’t have a steady hand, the q-tip trick won’t work. It’s almost like a stain. You need product (not just water or saliva) on the cotton swab to budge this eyeliner bc once it’s dry, it’s dry. I’m on the road so I used my snail mucin serum and that worked like a charm.

I’ve been wearing waterproof liquid eyeliner for well over a decade, and I’ve tried just about everything- from Kat Von D, Stila, Maybelline, and NYX to other drugstore and high-end brands. This e.l.f. H2O Proof Eyeliner has officially become my new favorite. In my opinion, it’s the GOAT!!!!! The felt tip applicator makes it easy to create precise lines, whether you’re doing a subtle wing or a dramatic cat eye. The pigment is deep black, goes on smoothly, is easy to apply, and dries quickly without skipping. What really impressed me was the staying power. The photo I included was taken about 12 hours after application. During that time I: * Worked out at the gym * Ran errands in the summer heat * Spent time in a saltwater pool (without submerging my face) * Dealt with my naturally dry, watery eyes And it didn’t budge! No smudging, flaking, or fading. My wing looked almost exactly the same at the end of the day as when I first applied it. The only thing to know is that this liner is truly waterproof, so you’ll want a good waterproof eye makeup remover to take it off. Micellar water alone didn’t cut it for me, but honestly, that’s exactly what I want from a waterproof eyeliner. I remove it easily with Micellar waterproof makeup removing water. Pros: * Incredibly long-lasting * Truly waterproof and sweatproof * Rich, highly pigmented black * Easy to use felt tip for precise application * Outperformed every waterproof liner I’ve tried If you’ve been searching for an eyeliner that actually survives long days, workouts, humidity, watery eyes, and everyday life, this is it. I honestly didn’t expect a $7 eyeliner to outperform products that cost three or four times as much, but this one absolutely did. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have been using this eyeliner for a few years. Throughout the years I have tried other liners from time to time. Nothing compares to this little beauty, including high end, exorbitantly priced liners. This liner applies as well as you want it to. I find the pen to be precise. If you like thin lines, this is the liner for you. If you like thick lines, this is the liner for you. It dries fairly quickly. I don’t use liner on the waterline so I can’t say how well it works there. I can tell you that once I apply it in the morning it stays on all day. I have very sensitive eyes to cosmetics & this is one of the only liners I can use that doesn’t irritate my eyes. However, as with any cosmetic, I would recommend a skin test. I was drawn to the e.l.f. brand because it is cruelty free. It’s been double certified as cruelty free by PETA & Leaping Bunny. In the make up industry that is impressive. I will say that it’s more water resistant than waterproof. I say this because I have found that if it is a humid or muggy day or if you have oily lids, it may not perform as well and you may have to reapply. Sooooooooooo, let’s go over the pros: 1. It applies easily 2. It doesn’t smear unless you try to smear it . 3. It looks better than most high priced liners. 4. You probably won’t experience eye irritation from this little gem. 5. The value! It is priced reasonably & is a fantastic value. Want to hear the cons? I haven’t found any!

### Review: e.l.f. H2O Proof Eyeliner Pen #### Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5) I recently tried the e.l.f. H2O Proof Eyeliner Pen in Jet Black, and while there are several aspects I appreciated, there are also a few drawbacks that are worth noting. #### What I Loved: **1. Bold Pigmentation:** The pigmentation of this eyeliner is truly impressive. The Jet Black shade is deep, rich, and provides a striking, bold look that makes your eyes pop. It delivers a high-impact finish that enhances any makeup style, from everyday wear to more dramatic evening looks. **2. Precise Felt Tip:** The felt tip applicator is another standout feature. It’s perfectly designed for precision, making it easy to create both thin, subtle lines and bold, dramatic wings. Whether you’re a makeup novice or a seasoned pro, this liner allows for controlled, smooth application every time. **3. Vegan & Cruelty-Free:** As a brand, e.l.f. is committed to ethical beauty, and this eyeliner is no exception. It’s 100% vegan and cruelty-free, which is a huge plus for anyone looking to make more conscientious beauty choices without compromising on quality. #### Areas for Improvement: **1. Waterproof Claims:** Despite being marketed as waterproof, I found the H2O Proof Eyeliner Pen to fall short in this area. While it holds up well under light moisture, it doesn’t withstand heavier exposure to water or sweat. This can be disappointing if you’re expecting it to last through a rainy day or an intense workout. **2. Smudging:** One of the main issues I encountered was smudging. Throughout the day, especially during warmer conditions or if my skin becomes oily, the eyeliner tends to smudge and lose its crispness. This can lead to a less polished look by the end of the day, which is less than ideal for those who need their makeup to stay put for extended periods. #### Final Thoughts: The e.l.f. H2O Proof Eyeliner Pen has some fantastic qualities, particularly in terms of pigmentation and ease of application. It’s a great option for creating bold, defined looks with a clean conscience thanks to its vegan and cruelty-free formulation. However, if you’re specifically seeking a truly waterproof and smudge-resistant eyeliner, this might not fully meet your expectations. For those looking for an affordable, highly pigmented liner that is easy to apply, this is a solid choice. Just be prepared for some touch-ups throughout the day if you want to maintain a flawless look.

Affordable and Easy to Use I’ve been happy with this e.l.f. eyeliner. It’s very affordable, but the quality is actually better than I expected for the price. It goes on smoothly and is easy to use, which makes it a good option for everyday makeup. I like that I can create a simple, natural line or build it up for a more defined look. The application is pretty straightforward, even when I’m in a hurry. Overall, I think it’s a great budget-friendly eyeliner. It may not feel like a high-end product, but for the price, the quality definitely makes it worth trying.

It doesn't smudge, last long, it doesn't bleed, and it's easy to work with. Love it! This is going to be my go to eyeliner

I think it's fine! If u try smudging it while it's dry, it'll stay well, but if it gets wet, then it'll rub off very easily. It does go on smoothly though- the only real issue I have with it is that it doesn't stand up to water very well :(( I think the precision and color are good, which is why I'm leaving 3 stars!! :)

Will continue to purchase. It glides on nicely and is a permanent part of my makeup regimen.

Punta sottile, colore resistente. Piú chiaro di quello che mi aspettavo.

Trocknen lassen nach Auftragen wichtig!

Se cerchi un eyeliner che resista a tutto, questo è il prodotto giusto. La sua formula waterproof è davvero a prova d’acqua e di sbavature: rimane impeccabile dall’applicazione fino a fine giornata. Il colore è nero intenso, super scrivente già alla prima passata. Grazie alla pratica forma a penna, l’applicazione è semplice e precisa anche per chi non ha molta esperienza: la punta scorre facilmente, permettendo di realizzare linee sottili o più decise in un attimo. Un alleato perfetto per uno sguardo definito e a lunga tenuta.

I wanted something that was very thin but this is a bit too think for me. It also felt a bit dry as the flow was not great. Color is good and dark. If someone is looking for a bold look, I would recommend you to give it a try
