EyeSense Eye Liner Pencil review: my honest take

ReviewCompareRoutineIngredientsTipsFAQs

*As stated by SeneGence.

The EyeSense Long-Lasting Eye Liner Pencil is SeneGence’s most forgiving liner, and it’s on the brand’s bestseller list. It’s a retractable pencil that SeneGence describes as waterproof and budge-proof. If your usual pencil ends up smudged under your eyes by the afternoon, this is the one built to stay put.

The easiest liner to get right, even when you're doing it in the rearview mirror.

A pencil is the easiest liner to get right. You can go thin along the lashes, thicker for evening, or smudge it soft before it sets. What you won’t get is a razor-sharp wing; that’s what the liquid liners are for. There are 9 shades, from Black and Brown to Navy, Purple, White and two shimmers, Golden Shimmer and Rose Gold Shimmer.

At $30 it’s priced the same as the liquid liner and the pen, so choose by skill, not budget. For everyday definition, this is where I’d start. If you want a crisp flick or a graphic line, the EyeSense Liquid Eyeliner Pen is the better tool.

Line after shadow so your liner stays crisp and doesn’t get blended away. Then primer and mascara. Because it’s waterproof, take it off at night with Fooops! Dual Phase Color Remover instead of rubbing at your lash line.
