Review of ELF Liquid Eyeliner in Silver

Recently, I needed to have a silver eyeliner, so I decided to turn to ELF because it’s a color I don’t normally wear, and I did not want to put a ton of money into it. ELF’s liquid eyeliners are $1 each,, which is quite a steal. However, the quality is sometimes sacrificed with the lower price, which seems to be the case with this eyeliner.

The swatch online appears to be a picture of silver glitter, which is definitely not the case. This eyeliner is a pearly silver color. I would advise looking at swatches on blogs and other places to get an accurate picture of the color. I really love the color. It is metallic without going overboard or having chunky glitters that can make it look tacky. The silver is just the perfect lightness to really highlight your eyes, while still giving enough definition. It will probably not wash out your eyes and make them look weird. I think this color would be appropriate for most skin colors, especially dark skin.

This product looks really fantastic on the lower lashline as an accent color that will bring some brightness to the eye, as well as bringing some more edgy fashion to your look.

The felt tip applicator of this product is incredibly annoying. It is hard, so has no give. As a result, the eyeliner is usually not applied very smoothly or evenly, as the hard line will simply make a blank space in the middle of any line. However, it is fine tip as advertised, which makes getting into small corners a lot easier than other eyeliners. Still, I would really prefer ELF switched to a thin brush design, or at least a spongy one so that the eyeliner could be applied better.

The last of this eyeliner is decent on both the upper and lower lash lines. I was actually surprised by how these eyeliners wear. There was minimal smudging at the end of the day, which was a relief because I did not have to touch up during the day. This is always annoying and sometimes difficult for people who don’t have the time to touch up at work or school.

Since I don’t plan on wearing this eyeliner a lot, I would say I’m pleased with it. It has a beautiful color and a decent wear. I don’t really like the applicator, but since I’m not using this as an everyday product, I think I can live with it. If ELF improved that aspect of this product, it would be practically perfect.
