Essence as a brand is a favourite as it is affordable and funky, thus enabling one to try a variety of looks and catering for different tastes.
I found the gel to be smooth and a good consistency. It gave me a lovely dark line and i could layer it, so I had control of the intensity of colour. I like this factor. And it comes off easily with a bit of make up remover or baby oil but wont be smudged/wiped off easily.
