Decent enough
I received this product for free in exchange for my review. I love elf products and use many of them! However, this one fell short for me. While the eyeliner does go on relatively smooth, I hate that it’s a pencil and doesn’t come with a sharpener. We’ve come a long way in the beauty world and it felt like this didn’t get the memo. It’s also not very long lasting, which is a major bummer for me.

Great eyeliner
I received this product for free in exchange for my review. I love this eyeliner because it is very affordable and easy to use. It is waterproof and doesn’t smudge on my lower eye lid. I will

Here’s an enhanced review of the e.l.f. Cosmetics Smoky Kohl Eyeliner in Vintage Denim: ⸻ 🖌️ Overview & Texture The Smoky Kohl Eyeliner is a velvety, blendable pencil designed for creating both crisp lines and smudged, smoky effects. It’s vegan, cruelty-free, and priced at just $3—making it a budget-friendly beauty staple  . Vintage Denim offers a rich navy-blue tone—not as stark as black, but deep enough to define the eyes with a subtle pop of color (). ⸻ ✅ What Shoppers Say • ✅ “Dark blue/grey … added a little color … highlight to my lash line.”  • 👍 Reddit users praise its smooth, blendable texture and inexpensive price: “$3 kohl eyeliner pencil with a silky smooth, blendable formula … perfect for … crisp lines and smoked-out eye looks”  However, certain shades in the Smoky Kohl line have been described as firmer or drier—notably the plum variant—so texture can vary by shade . ⸻ 🎨 Application & Wear Feature Details Application Glides on effortlessly on lash line and waterline; easily blendable for smoky styles  Pigmentation Strong, richly colored—especially in Vintage Denim () Longevity Waterline wear may not be waterproof; better longevity when smudged and set Texture Variation Some shades feel firmer; Vintage Denim feels smooth in reviews ⸻ 🎯 Pros & Cons Pros • Vibrant navy hue that’s softer than black but adds dimension • Super budget-friendly at $3 • Smooth, blendable formula ideal for smoky looks • Vegan & cruelty‑free, PETA and Leaping Bunny certified   Cons • Texture inconsistency across shades—some dry or stiff • May fade on the waterline since it’s not fully waterproof • Limited staying power if not smudged or set ⸻ 🔍 Final Verdict Vintage Denim is a stylish alternative to standard black, offering a subtle yet impactful pop of color. As part of the Smoky Kohl line, it delivers smooth application and easy blending—but texture and longevity can vary depending on the shade. If you’re seeking a wallet-friendly, versatile eyeliner for smoky looks or a colored accent, give Vintage Denim a try. But be ready for slight differences across the shade range and consider pairing it with a primer or setting powder for longer wear. ⸻ 🛒 Popular Alternatives Interested in similar items? Check out: • e.l.f. Smoky Kohl Eyeliner – same great formula in various shades, including Vintage Denim. • e.l.f. No Budge Retractable Eyeliner – a waterproof, creamy retractable option at $5 for longer hold. ⸻ ✅ Tips for Best Results • Sharpener Matters: Use a sharp liner to apply precisely along the lash line. • Smudge It: Gently smudge immediately after application to set the pigment. • Set It: For long wear, lightly dust with translucent powder or set with eyeshadow. • Watch Texture: Do a patch test—if the shade feels stiff, a swipe of balm or cream before can help. ⸻ TL;DR: Vintage Denim is a fun, affordable gem in the Smoky Kohl family—texturally smooth, richly pigmented, excellent for smoky or colored looks, but shade variations mean you might need to explore a bit to find your favorite.

Great pigment and a smooth gliding formula. It’s a pencil not the screw up packaging. Great eyeliner and would rebuy plus it’s cheap🩵
