Happy start of the week again!
Can you believe it's already September? Felt like yesterday when I had my ultimate morning sickness (yes, it started September last year) and look where I am now! With a cute li'l one who makes me happy each and everyday!
Today, I will be sharing a review on another Kajal Liner (Read my first Kajal Liner review on The Body Shop Special Edition Kajal Liner). I have used not much Kajal Liners as you all know, they all tend to smudge on our humid weather so as much as possible, I do not use them especially on my professional kit!
Revlon, came up with 4 different Kajal Eyeliners with their coordinating Highlighting shades! To be honest, i am quite excited with these even though they are in Kohl form, as for me Kohl= Smudgefest!

Pros
- The cap is the exact color as the liner so it is easier to identify.
- Comes in 2 shades, one eyeliner shade and one brightening shade.
- Though this is a "kajal liner", the pencil is quite stiff and doesn't melt as easily as regular kajal liners.
- Pigmentation is good.
- The nude end of the kajal liner is perfect to create bigger looking eyes. It is very difficult to find a good nude liner and Revlon has it!
- They all come in true-to-life, matte shades.
Cons
- Has the tendency to smudge especially the darker colored liners.
- The "feel" of the liners aren't consistent, some felt harder than the others.
- The light end of the liner tends to disappear midday.
Neutral
- Price
Overall
A great idea Revlon for creating an eyeliner with coordinating brigthener shades! I personally like these to be made as waterproof eyeliners instead of a "kohl" version.
Tips
from Revlon
- Apply light end to inner rim of lower lash line to brighten eyes.
- Then, apply dark end to upper lash line for rich, intense color.
- For added drama, apply kajal to lower lash line, connecting to upper lash line at outer corner of the eye.
- To complete the look, use your finger to gently blend the line at outer corners.
from AMW
- To prevent smudging, use your favorite eye primer prior to eyeliner application. I depend on my trustee Urban Decay Primer Potion. (Still the best eye primer for me!)
- Aside from using the dark end of the pencil as a liner, I also like to apply this all over the crease and smudge it with clean fingers to create a "base" for my smoky eye look.
- Aside from using the light end on the waterline, I also like to use this on my brow bone as "highlighter".
- Warm up the pencil quickly with a blow dryer to "warm" the pencil. Please keep in mind to test the tip first with your hand before you apply directly on your eyes to prevent accidents.
Will I repurchase?
Yes, for the nude colored portion. I love using this on my waterline.
To whom do I recommend this to?
Girls who like colored Kajal Liners + Brightener but have invested on a good eye primer to prevent smudging.
Where to purchase and how much?
At local Revlon counters for Php525.00 (approx $11.93).
