Lakme Absolute Kohl Ultimate Kajal, 1.2g, 1.2g

I just love this

I have tried many eyeliners over the years , but nothing gave me the satisfaction that this gives , best but pricey

As soon as I applied this kajal I fell in love with this. One of the smoothest kajal I've ever used. Pros: 1. Easy to apply 2. Extra smooth kajal 3. U can get a smudged look. 4. Blackest kajal 5. Stays all day like you applied it just now. 6. Easily removed by cream or eye makeup remover. 7. U can define your eyes as you want to. As it is in a pencil shape. 8. Feels like a cream in the form of kajal. 9. Pencil looks very attractive. Cons: 1. No sharpner. I already had a lakme sharpner so I had no problem after buying this. But those who don't have the sharpner, get a sharpner first. 2. Since its too smooth, you need to sharpen it almost after two use. 3. I apply a lot of kajal everyday. So for a user like me, its not suitable because if one use it everyday as a kajal and eyeliner then it would be finished within a month, considering its cost... Maybelline is far more better for everyday use. But this can be kept as a special Kajal which I'm doing now. :-D In short its a good kajal but not for everyday use. If money is not a matter for you, then you can use it for everyday purpose as well.

I apply Kajal in two ways. 1. Where I apply a thick line of Kajal to lower lid 2. Where I apply gel liner on top lid and thin line of Kajal on lower lid. This product is more appropriate for use case one i.e. a thick line of kajal on lower lid. For use case two a retractable pencil kajal is more useful for getting better precision (I use MAC). Pros: High pigmentation (retractable pencils from Lakme, Maybelline, Faces, Sugar etc. etc. do not compare) Smudge proof not smudge free (lasts 7 hours on me easily). How long it lasts on you will depend on your makeup base. I use products that impart oil free finish and hence this Kohl lasts longer on me. Easy to remove with oil based makeup removers (not with Garnier micellar water though) Has not once developed visible fungus growth over the years of usage (I have had bad experiences with retractable pencils which either develop fungus growth or dry up in few months) Cons: Not for thin precise application. You are bound to get a thick application on lower lid with this product (not a con for me as that is my preferred style) Product wastage with sharpening, still delivers better value Staying power can be improved My preferred combination -> This product + MAC technakohl (for precise lining) + Maybelline/ Loreal gel liner

One of the better kohl awailable in India and the best i have used so far(and belive me there are few i hvnt give a try)....water proof, smudge proof and super long wear just as claimed and fullfilled... the nice thing about this kajal is, it doesnt irritate your eyes at all. Super recommended for people with sensitive eyes and other wise also as your eyes deserve the best... got it from amazon at amazing rate of almost 25% less and guess what! It has shelf life till 2017!!!! Amazon really is the genuine site with great offers and transperant transections...... Of course 725 rs. Would be a consern but it is worth each rupee you invest.... and why not to give it a try when it is there at amazing discount on this site..... Out and out, A great product though little costly but worth a shot......

Being an Indian woman eyeliner is a must for me on a daily basis, so I'm always on the hunt for the perfect eyeliner. I saw the good reviews for this product and decided to give it a try. THE GOOD 1. Very creamy and smooth. It glides right onto your eyelids. 2. Does not irritate the eyes (I'm a contact lens wearer with sensitive and dry eyes) 3. Decent amount of pigmentation. (I posted swatches of this after a single and double swipe) 4. Comes with a smudger on the end of you're trying to achieve a smokey eye. THE BAD 1. Over priced for what you're getting. 2. It doesnt last as long as I would like it to. My BIGGEST problem with this liner was that when I use it on my water line, after a few hours the color starts to run and gives me raccoon eyes. It gives the appearance of dark circles. 3. You need to buy a sharpener with this and sharpen it every time you use it, which for me is a hassle. I really wish they made this in a twist up tube. The nib tends to break a lot when you sharpen it, which can be frustrating if you're in a rush. 4. This product will only last you a couple months provided that you use it everyday. THE VERDICT I wouldn't repurchase this. If you don't wear contact lenses or have dry eyes I would recommend the Colorbar glide pencil.

This kohl is soft, extremely bold, a beautiful dark intense black, and best of all - it stays put for hours and hours! All it takes is one or two strokes to create the intense look. Really easy to create a smudged effect too. However, just be careful immediately after putting it on - it takes about a minute to set. Also, using an oil based moisturizer over it causes it to dramatically run and smudge - like all make-up. Personally, I find this kohl perfect for evening/ night wear. It might be too intense for day wear though - Maybelline Colossal kajal or loreal kajal magique or lakme iconic eyes is better for that.
