In today's blog I am going to be sharing with you my most
favorite eyeliners and kohl pencils. In this blog I have 30 options for you between
eyeliners and kohl pencils.
Since the time I started wearing makeup I have tried many
eyeliners and many kohl pencils and I feel a good eyeliner and a good kohl
pencil is a must to have in practically everyone's makeup kit. Because it's
easy to use and are versatile products.
A kohl pencil is something if pigmented you can use to smoke
out your lower lash line, you can apply it on your upper water line, you can
also use it as an eyeshadow smoke out make a smokey eye look.
All the eyeliner options and kohl options that I have for
you here all of these I have from the affordable range which is the drugstore
range and some very affordable options as well moving on to some of the higher
end options as well. So, you can take your pick depending upon your budget.
First, I am going to be talking about my most favorite eyeliners
and I am going to be telling you my favorite three pen eyeliners. As we go, I am
also going to tell you which are the ones that are my most favorite, the ones
that I reach out for the most.
Estee Lauder Little Black Liner - ONYX
The first eyeliner that I have for you which is a pen liner
this is the Estee Lauder Pen Eyeliner, extremely pigmented and what I like
about this is that it has two ends to it. The one end is the pointed one and
the other end is more to the thicker side. So, you have a more pointed end to
make your wing and then the other end to fill in.
Then I have two more options because this of course is a
little bit on the higher end of things. But I have two options that are very
affordable.
Nykaa
Get Inked! Sketch Eyeliner Pen - Onyx 01
The first one which is my most favorite. I reach out for
this the most when I use a pen eyeliner is the Nykaa Get Inked Pen Eyeliner. This
has a beautiful felt tip and also has a very pigmented sort of an eyeliner and
it basically sits really well. These are all water resistant and smudge
resistant formulas. I have purchased this very recently and I’ve been using
this quite a lot.
KIRO
Waterproof Soft-Matte Eyeliner Pen - Carbon Black
The third eyeliner that I have which is also fairly
affordable is from Kiro. This also has a beautiful felt tip so you can make
your wing and you can also basically fill your wing in with this, these sit fairly
matte. Now if you see all the three eyeliners are extremely matte and you do
have that very soft satin finish. But when you apply it on your lids it
basically shows absolutely matte finish.
If you are someone who likes extremely matte formulas then I
would suggest you go in for liquid eyeliners and for liquid eyeliners I have a
few incredible options here for you. First let's look at some of the affordable
options.
Maybelline
New York Colossal Bold Eyeliner - Black
The first most affordable option and which I feel is
extremely easily available in the market as well is the Maybelline Bold Eyeliner.
This is the Maybelline Colossal Eyeliner. It's a great eyeliner, very popular
and like I said very pocket friendly as well. What I like about this is the tip
of it which is extremely thin and you can create a very thin wing with this and
you can create or you can basically play around with the thickness of your eyeliner.
So, if you like a thin eyeliner, I highly recommend going in
with this. It's a matte formula so you're going to love this.
Miss
Claire Matte Stay Liquid Eyeliner - Black
Moving on I have a super matte black and extremely pigmented
eyeliner which is from the brand Miss Claire, this is their Matte Liquid Eyeliner.
The thing with this eyeliner is it's more than affordable, it's around 350
rupees, it is very pigmented and the only thing I feel is the brush it is not
beginner friendly. But honestly the brush for the price you pay is not bad at
all.
I don't have any trouble creating a wing with this but if you're
a beginner you may feel a little bit of trouble creating a wing and so for that
you can use an eyeliner brush. Because the liquid eyeliner itself is very pigmented.
It's a pretty thin brush, the only thing is the end. I would have liked to be a
little bit more tapered and pointed to make that wing. But I would say it's one
of the blackest eyeliners that I’ve ever used.
Lakme
Absolute Shine Line Eyeliner - Black
The next I have here is the Lakme Absolute Shine Line which
says shine line but it's actually a matte eyeliner. This is something very
portable I feel extremely affordable as well. But honestly this is a great
eyeliner and I do reach out for this one and the Miss Claire one quite a lot as
well. a few more
Essence
Super last Waterproof Eyeliner - Black
Now this one is something that I picked up while I was
traveling abroad long time ago. This brand which is Essence is now available in
India. This is the essence super last eyeliner, it's a water-resistant formula
and smudge proof as well. I feel this is one of the most pigmented and the blackest
eyeliner that I’ve used.
I think I am going to be saying that for most of the
eyeliners that I have here because like I said I am a sucker for a good
eyeliner and I pick up one every time I go out shopping. Even if I am not
shopping for makeup, I would just go see what is a new eyeliner and a kohl
pencil that has launched.
So, coming back to Essence eyeliner it's a very pigmented. This
has a felt tip which is pretty long. Again, something I feel had it been
pointed would have been nice for beginners. I don't have a problem creating a
wing with this but if you are a beginner, I would highly recommend using an
eyeliner brush with this one.
Great product, very affordable, I think this is about 400 or
500 rupees which is very affordable. It lasts you almost forever and it doesn't
dry out.
Cuffs
N Lashes Liquid Eyeliner
Moving on I have an eyeliner from Cuffs N Lashes. Now this is
a brand that has very affordable products. This eyeliner is 199 Rupees definitely
worth the money. This came to me in PR I did not buy it in all honesty and this
is a very good eyeliner. It has a very good brush as well, it's pigmented, it's
black everything you need in an eyeliner. The tip is also really thin and nice and
pointed for you to make a nice winged eyeliner.
It's a great option if you're looking for a good affordable version
you can definitely pick this one up.
Kay
Beauty Quick Dry Liquid Eyeliner - Black Canvas
Then I have another affordable one from the drugstore. This is
not a super matte formula. This is from Kay Beauty it's their black colored eyeliner
which is also a very pigmented eyeliner. These eyeliners sit really well as
well the one from Kay Beauty. The only thing I would like them to be a little
bit more matte. They have a very soft satin finish and it has a great tip as
well to make a good eyeliner. To be very precise with your eyeliner like I said
the only thing I would have liked is for the eyeliner itself to be a little bit
more matte.
Colorbar
All-Matte Eyeliner
Then moving on to the last drugstore eyeliner that I have
for you and this is also something that I reach out for quite a lot it is the Colorbar
Eyeliner. I’ve used this in the black color it's a beautiful pigmented eyeliner.
I absolutely love its blue color and brown color as well. The Colorbar has such
a beautiful blue eyeliner so, if you are looking for a good blue eyeliner, I
highly recommend this one.
It is actually a very matte formula and it's extremely pigmented.
It's a very nice soft felt tip and it's extremely pointed as well so, you can
make a wonderful very precise line with this one and you can make a great wing
with this and go ahead and fill it up as well.
The
Balm Schwing Liquid Eyeliner - Black
Now coming to a few of the high-end eyeliners that I have
for you here and my most favorite from the high-end ones. The one that I wear
quite a lot is the Balm Schwing Liquid Eyeliner. This is a very popular product
and I’ve seen a lot of beauty bloggers talk about this. Rightly so it's a great-great
product. It is extremely pigmented, it's a water-resistant formula, it's smudge
resistant as well. You get a great tip here again, a felt tip great one of that.
If you're looking for a good matte one and you're in the
mood of splurging I would highly recommend this one.
Huda
Beauty Life Liner Duo Pencil & Liquid Eyeliner
Another eyeliner that I totally love is from Huda Beauty. This
is their liquid eyeliner and also a retractable kohl pencil on the other end. Now
I am not a big fan of the retractable pencil. I feel it could have been a lot
more pigmented. Nonetheless it's not that bad but I would have liked it to be a
little bit more pigmented.
Honestly, I’ve used a lot more pigmented kohl pencils which
I am going to be talking about next. That's why I don't feel this is a great one
at that but definitely something that you can use make do with. But if you're
spending this much you definitely expect a good cool pencil on the other end.
However, the reason why I am showing you this is it has a
beautiful liquid eyeliner. For me honestly this was worth it the moment I used
the eyeliner. The only thing with the eyeliner is you have to make sure that
you close it absolutely tight otherwise it dries out because the packaging is
such.
The thing with this particular eyeliner is it's a different
formula, it's a cross between a gel eyeliner and a liquid eyeliner. It's extremely
pigmented, it's black as hell, it's matte as hell. If you are someone who loves
a good deep black eyeliner go with this one.
It is really pigmented, sits well on your eyelids,
absolutely smudge proof, it's water resistant as well. This is definitely an
eyeliner that I highly recommend. If you don't mind a not so pigmented cold
pencil on the other end then you can definitely try this particular one.
Anastasia
Beverly Hills Gel Eyeliner
Then moving on I am going to be talking about a little bit
of a different formulation in eyeliners. I am talking about the gel liners and my
most favorite is from Anastasia Beverly Hills. Now I know this is on the higher
end of things. If you don't want to go for this one and you want a more affordable
version which is mostly a dupe. I would say for the Anastasia one is the L’Oréal
Gel Eyeliner and even the Maybelline one.
Now both of these eyeliners the L’Oréal and the Maybelline I
have used and they work really well. I always wanted to try the Anastasia one. It
is absolutely gorgeous, it's absolutely beautiful, very pigmented. I use this
for my smoky eyes all the time and also, it’s so buttery that it sets in really
nice as an eyeliner. But if you want to use it as an eyeshadow, smudge it out
with a smudger then also it sits beautifully.
So, if you're someone who likes a good smoky eye then this
is the one to go for. It sits perfectly well and it does not move that's what I
like about it. I love wearing a good gel eyeliner in my waterline, every time I
have to wear one if I can't find a good kohl pencil then this is the one that I
would all the time go in for.
SUVA
Beauty Hydra Liner - Doodle
The other eyeliners which were recently launched in India are these Suva Beauty Eyeliners and I definitely want to recommend this one to you because they are absolutely amazing. If you're looking for a good black eyeliner then you get this in a pot which is in the shade doodle. So, you get a white and a black eyeliner half and half in this spot which I feel is a great deal. It's a little bit expensive than a normal gel liner like L’Oréal or Maybelline but this definitely is worth it and of course this is a different formula.
Before applying you have to dip your brush in water and wet
your brush then go in with this and then apply it. It’s more like we used to do
with watercolors and it's really nice playing with these eyeliners. I totally love
it.
SUVA
Beauty UV Brights
My most favorite one from them are their colored eyeliners. There
is an entire palette that you have plus they are super pigmented. I’ve used
these one out they last on your eyelids for a very long time and until you
actually go in with a micellar water or a cleansing balm. They won't budge and
they look beautiful. If you're into colored eyeliners you can go in with this
one for sure but if you want something that's black and you get an additional
white because you don't run out of eyeliners that quickly.
Definitely give a try to this one.
Now let's make way for some kohl pencils or kajal pencils whatever
you call them and I have 16 kajal pencil options here for you. So, firstly I am
going to tell you the most affordable one that means we're going to go into the
drugstore ones first and then move on to the high-end ones.
Maybelline New
York The Colossal Kajal 24Hour Smudge Proof - Deep Black
First let me tell you about the most affordable kajal pencil
that I have here and this is literally 100 to 110 Rupees very easily available.
This is the Colossal Kajal Pencil and it is great, it's a retractable pencil,
it is so pigmented you guys and it doesn't move from its place and it sits
really well. Even if you're someone who likes to wear a kajal just in your
waterline this is really good.
The only thing is this does not last that long in your waterline
but honestly for the price you pay you can't really complaint. It's a really
good product in my opinion.
Plum NaturStudio
All-Day-Wear Kohl Kajal - Black Brilliance + Free sharpener
Then moving on I have something which is absolutely stunning.
This is from Plum it is the NaturStudio All Day Wear Kohl Pencil. This is very
pigmented and it is extremely buttery. If you are someone who has sensitive
eyes like your eyes water when you wear a coal then try this one.
Then moving on we have one from Lakme. This is the Lakme Iconic
Pencil, great option in my opinion. Again, great drugstore product and very
pigmented. This one sit and blends really well. If you are someone who likes to
do a smoky lower lash line you can definitely go in with this product.
Belora Paris Kohl
Kiss Intense Kajal
My current favorite kohl pencil I would say is from Belora
cosmetics because it is so buttery you guys. It is absolutely amazing how
buttery this kajal is.
This is actually the most pigmented one I ever had. It sits
really well on the lower lash line I love using this as an eyeshadow as a black
eyeshadow and then kind of smoke it out so, for my smoky eye look I have been using
this so very much.
KIRO Waterproof
Soft-Matte Eyeliner Pen - Carbon Black
I have an option from the brand Kiro. This is their
retractable pencil as well. It's a great option if you're looking for something
that's nice and pigmented so, it's this one right here. It's very pigmented if
you're looking to apply something on your lower waterline or on your upper
waterline you can try this. These sits fairly well as well.
It doesn't budge that easily but the one that doesn't budge
at all is the Belora one. It's a great product in my opinion, very good and very
pigmented kajal pencil.
Lakme Absolute
Ultimate Kohl Kajal
Then moving on we have another option from Lakme. This is
the one that comes with a smudger on the other end which I really like. This is
the Lakme Absolute Ultimate Kohl Kajal. This is not a retractable pencil you
have to use a sharpener with this but this is again very pigmented.
A very good color payoff, you can use this in your waterline
as well. It is a fairly good formula and it sits really well in the waterline. So,
the thing with cold pencils is that they don't sit for a very long time in your
waterline and you have to reapply them. I feel that's the case with most of the
cold pencils except a few high-end ones that I have to be honest.
The Belora one definitely worked for me in the waterline as
well. Even the plum one last you a fairly long time. The smudger that you have
on the other end is pretty good as well so, you can use it to smudge the kohl
pencil out if you like using a smudged effect on your lower waterline.
House Of Makeup
Here to Stay Longwear Kajal - Noir
Then I have from a brand called House of Makeup. It is Here to
Stay Kohl Pencil. This is a very good formula as well. It's very nice, very
pigmented, great-great product in my opinion and something that doesn't water
your eyes if you have sensitive eyes.
Definitely try this one out as well it doesn't irritate your
eyes if you have sensitive eyes or your eyes water when you wear a kohl pencil.
It’s a great product like I already said.
Stay Quirky
Badass Kajal
The other one that I feel is comparable to Belora. A lot more affordable is the one from Stay Quirky. Let me tell you how buttery and pigmented this is and it is super-duper black. This comes really handy for doing a smoky eye as well. If you apply it as a black eyeshadow, it smudges out beautifully.
Max Factor Kohl
Kajal Liner Automatic Pencil - 001 Black
Then moving on I have a kajal this is a Kohl Kajal Liner
from the brand Max Factor. This is a new launch it is a beautiful, very pigmented
eyeliner. This blends out really well. It's absolutely black and gorgeous
that's what I like about this.
All the options that I’ve mentioned in this blog mostly all
of them are smudge proof. They're water resistant as well and they're extremely
black formulas.
Colorbar Mesmereyes
Kajal – Black 001
The last option for a kohl pencil in the affordable section would
be from Colorbar. This is their mesmereyes Kajal black 001. Again, very
pigmented and definitely from the drugstore so, it's affordable, it's jet black,
sits really well on your waterline as well.
Now moving on to some of the high-end options that I have.
M.A.C in
Extreme Dimension 24hr Kajal Eye Liner
The first option in the high-end section is from Mac I have
two Kajal’s from Mac here. The first one is the Mac Extreme Black Dimension 24-hour
kajal. This is the new launch and this is so pigmented guys. I loved using this
on my lower waterline.
It's very pigmented, it stays on your waterline for a very
good time as well and it sits really beautifully as well. It doesn't move that much
and definitely doesn't water the eyes.
Smashbox Always on
Gel Liner
Then moving on I have another one before I tell you the mac one,
I want to mention you the mini version. This is from Smashbox its their Always
on gel eyeliner. This is again a very pigmented formula much more pigmented
than the Mac one. I love the Mac one as well but this is a great product. It
sits really well, it blends out really well so, if you like to do a smoky eye
effect on your lower lash line or upper lash line go in with this one.
It blends out like a dream and of course this particular Smashbox
one actually sits very well also. So, once it dries out it basically sits like
a gel eyeliner on your eyelids or on your lower lash line wherever you want to
use it.
M.A.C
Technakohl Liner - Graphblack
Coming back, another one from Mac, it is a very popular one
from them. This is the Graphblack Technakohl liner. It's an eyeliner and a
kajal so, you can use all your kajal pencils as eyeliners as well of course. It's
really nice black, very pigmented. This is one of their most popular products as
well and I really feel this is a good one at that.
Now when it comes to casual pencils, I don't stick to one I
actually keep trying different ones so, if you ask me which is the one, I reach
out for the most. I honestly use a lot of different ones of these but Belora
one is my favorite the Smashbox one and this one from Mac is a personal
favorite as well.
Too Faced Killer
Kajal - Black
The other one that I have been using quite a lot recently is
this one which is from a new launch from Too Faced it's the Killer Kajal. It's
a retractable pencil but very pigmented and when I say it's pigmented, I mean
it's super-duper pigmented. It's jet black and sits really well. Once it sits
on your eyes it settles on your eyes doesn't move, doesn't budge, it's a great water-resistant
formula as well.
So, I like using my kajal pencils different ways, you can of
course use them as eyeliners but my most favorite way to use them is underneath
the lower lash line so a reverse wing basically. I use it as a kohl underneath
my lash line and then I smoke it out and also make a wing.
I really like doing that and every time I want to step out and
I am not wearing makeup I would just put some kohl and then just smudge it out.
I think it's very easy, very quick, intensifies the look of your eyes and it
makes your eyes look a lot more in shape and just something that you can do
very quickly.
So, I like quick makeup like I said so this is something
that's super quick. If you're looking for something that's jet black honestly, I
would say, go in for the Too Faced one, you can go in for the Max Factor, of
course I’ve told you many different options Smashbox one is a great option as
well.
Then I wanted to talk about you two brown colored kohl pencils
which you can use as eyeshadow, eyeliners and also as a brown eyeliner or a
kajal pencil underneath your lower waterline and just smudge it out two of
these. My most favorite both of these are above the thousand-rupee range so that's
why I call them high-end.
Charlotte Tilbury
Rock 'N' Kohl - Barbarella Brown
The first one is the Charlotte Tilbury Rock N Roll. It's a
beautiful, very pigmented brown pencil. This comes really handy if you want to do
a smoky eye effect as well as this one right here it's really nice and it
blends out really nicely. I love using this whenever I am doing a brown smoky
eye in my lower waterline it sits really well and doesn't budge
Sephora
Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner - 10 Matte Brown Black
The last cold pencil that I have here is this one from Sephora.
It is basically a retractable brown pencil but has a little bit of glitter to
it and it also has a smudger on the other end. I love using this when I do my
glittery eyeshadow looks especially brown ones. It's really nice and a very pigmented
formula.
It has a very slight glitter to it so, you get that
beautiful glittery look as well. If you are someone who likes to experiment
with your eyeliner sometimes, you like to do a brown one instead of a black one
right so, you can definitely try this.
So, my beauties with that it's a wrap. That was a very detailed
night skin care routine from a skincare die heart fan and a passionate skincare
lover. If you have any questions for me, feel free to leave them in the comment
section below and until I see you next.
Take good care of yourself and your skin, and don’t forget to love
yourself.
