Review
When it comes to black kajal, my ask from brands is very simple. The kajal should have excellent pigmentation, it should be pitch black in color, it should be creamy with a smooth intense glide and it should not smudge or fade for at least 6-7 hours on the lids and the waterline. A kajal that meets all these requirements immediately becomes a favorite.
Nykaa’s Rock The Line and EyeM kajal are both a dark black with the EyeM scoring slightly better in the pigmentation department probably because it is a gel kajal. Rock The Line is a retractable kajal whereas EyeM comes with a free sharpener. I hate sharpening my eye pencils because they lead to product wastage so would have preferred if EyeM had the same retractable packaging. In terms of texture, both are very soft and creamy and glide on effortlessly. Rock The Line has a smaller tip than EyeM which makes it easier to get a thin, precise line. The only issue I have with these kajals is the fact that they are not totally smudge-proof especially on the waterline. After 3-4 hours, they tend to move around and you are left with raccoon eyes. This bit is disappointing for me because everything else about these two products is so good.
The 24Hrs Vinyl Luxe Eyeliner is a winner. Usually, liquid eyeliners don’t give that dark black color but this one does. It has a thin, slightly stiff felt tip applicator which is perfect to draw thin lines and that wing. It feels a bit watery but dries up fast and settles to a matte finish. This liner does not move the entire day. It does not flake, is smudge-proof, does not transfer and is also very easy to remove. Out of the three products, this one is definitely my favorite.
I am impressed by these new Nykaa eye makeup products. They have excellent pigmentation and texture. They do not sting the eyes. If only the kajals did not smudge, I would have given them a 10 on 10. The eyeliner on the other hand deserves a perfect score!
