Overall Rating = 
4.25 Stars – Excellent
Cost: $3.00 each (.12 fl. oz.) ($25 per fluid ounce) Price Category: Dirt Cheap
Sold By: Elf Cosmetics; Ulta; Walgreen’s; Walmart; Retailers everywhere.
Container: Plastic pen with snap-on cap, outer carton.
Description: ELF Makeup Remover Pen is exactly what it sounds like. This is a pen that looks like a marker only instead of containing ink, it contains makeup remover.
Sensitivity: ELF Makeup Remover Pen is fragrance-free and neither I, nor my clients/testers, have experienced any sensitivities. I have used this for several years without any problems.
Company Claims: “Mascara smears? Uneven eyeliner? Quickly remove or correct small makeup smudges, smears and mistakes without having to take off the rest of your makeup! The gentle and non-greasy formula erases even long wearing and waterproof makeup for flawless touch ups, perfect for throwing in your purse or gym bag when you’re on-the-go! Infused with Vitamin E, Cucumber and Chamomile to moisturize and condition skin.”
Discussion: ELF, also known as e.l.f. (which stands for eyes, lips, face), is a readily-available, very inexpensive makeup brand. Some of their products rival much higher-end brands at surprisingly affordable prices.
What do you do when you have a makeup slip? Grab a cotton swab with some makeup remover? That will work, but it may remove too much makeup, leave cotton fibers on your face, or make matters worse. ELF Makeup Remover Pen with its pointed tip will take off a tiny error without disturbing the rest of your makeup, which is a much better solution.
As a makeup professional, I don’t make a lot of blatant errors, but I occasionally have a line that I would like to be more precise, or a client blinks at the wrong time and this pen solves a myriad of issues.
Colors: ELF Makeup Remover Pen comes in one color, clear.
Daily Review: If there is an area on your makeup that needs a precision fix such as a mascara dot, winged eyeliner edge or lipliner mistake, just swipe the tip and clean your mistake. It dries quickly, doesn’t leave an oily residue, and you can go over it with makeup if you need to.
Helpful Tips:
- ELF Makeup Remover Pen only works when the tip is clean, so be sure and wipe off the tip with an alcohol pad and clean it after each use.
- If you don’t clean the tip and use it dirty, instead of removing a makeup error, it will smudge.
- Once the tip can no longer be cleaned, pull it out and flip it to the other side to get double use out of it.
