Essence has always been my most affordable and trusted beauty brand since it launched in South Africa. I purchased this eyeliner way back when I was learning and experimenting with liquid and pen eyeliners.

Being a jumbo pen,it makes it easier to control the pen and get a perfect well defined line, I especially love the felt tip because it gives you full control, allows a liquid eyeliner look, without the mess or fuss.

I'd suggest using the pen with no eye shadow under to get a clear, pure blank line, else the eyeliner mixes a little with the shadow, giving you a "chalky" eyeliner look. Otherwise, this is the ultimate affordable eyeliner for the perfect look, especially if you're in for the dramatic look.

So say hello to smudge free, pure black and dramatic eyes for the fraction of the cost!
