Essence Gel Eyeliner vs E.L.F. Cream Liners (Review)

When I started learning how to use make up at age 16 all I knew about were pencil, crayon and liquid eyeliners. Thats all I knew, up until last year I heard of gel liners and never owned one. After I set up the house, I had free time to buy and play with make up. Here's my review on Essence and Elf liners.




These are the Essence liners. The black is 01 Midnight in Paris and the brown is 02 London Baby.



And here are the Elf liners the black is called 81160 Black and 81156 Copper.



I have the Essence on the left and Elf on the right. They glide on smoothly and pick up on the brush easily, only a small amount is required.



The Elf black liner is lighter than the Essence. Essence Gel liner is the blackest black I've ever owned, I did have the Maybelline liner but it looked more like the Elf. The Essence price tag of 2,49 euro it is more than amazing; Elf is $3, but for me I bought these on Black Friday when they had the 50% off promotion.

The Elf copper is a nice natural brown colour, especially if they look you're going for is a neutral or natural look. London Baby is more of a brown mauve colour with a bit of shimmer.

With these gel liners, it easy to transform to any look desirable. I like to have a bit of variety and will be buying other colours from both brands. When they set they are hard to move but will come off with make up remover or remover wipes.

Ciao, ciao!!

  1. I don't have any Essence gel liners, but I just picked up an Elf one in olive green and a Bobbi Brown set from the duty free (black and brown) that I haven't tried out yet (I want to review them first haha) I heard great things about gel liners, can't wait to try them out! That Elf copper is really pretty!
