Product Comparison-Black Pencil Eye Liners (Barry M kohl Pencil, Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal, Makeup Revolution Eyeliner, Luscious Bold Smudgeproof Intense Eye Liner, Christine Kajal/Eyeliner Pencil)


Barry M kohl Pencil, Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal, Makeup Revolution Eyeliner, Luscious Bold Smudgeproof Intense Eye Liner, Christine Kajal/Eyeliner Pencil

Packaging: All except for the Luscious Bold look like basic liners with the glossy texture. The luscious one looks very similar to urban decays 24/7 glide on pencil and it takes extra points for the packaging.


Swatches-Barry M kohl Pencil, Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal, Makeup Revolution Eyeliner, Luscious Bold Smudgeproof Intense Eye Liner, Christine Kajal/Eyeliner Pencil

Formulation: Barry M isn't as soft as all the others. Rimmel scandal eyes has the creamiest formula followed by Luscious bold.

Color: All the others are different types of black whereas the Luscious Bold is more of a deep grey with silver specs.

Pigmentation and Color Payoff: None could beat Rimmel scandal eyes when it comes to pigmentation. Luscious also has a good payoff. The rest however are not as per my liking. 

Application and Blending: All these pencils apply smoothly except for the Barry M which is a bit drier. Reapplication is a must for better pigmentation with all of these except for the Rimmel scandal eyes.

Lasting Power: Rimmel sandal eyes lasts longest on the waterline. Luscious bold, Barry M and MUR eye pencil stay on the upper lash line for a decent amount of time. Christine doesn't do a very good job with either.

Price: 

Barry M: AED 18
Rimmel scandal eyes: AED 26 and PKR 795
Makeup Revolution: PKR 180
Luscious Bold: PKR 395
Christine: PKR 50

Availability: 

All of these can be purchased from major super stores across Pakistan except for Barry M. Rimmel and Barry M are available at Boots in UAE and MUR through select instagram sellers. Luscious cosmetics can be ordered from the brand's official website.

Verdict: Rimmel scandals eyes wins this one. I don't intend to repurchase any of these in the near future. For me black has to be as dark as high quality charcoal and sadly the others don't fit my need.

Have you tried any of these products? How did you like them? Do share your experience. Ciao!
