Hell makeupholics!
Kajal/Kohl makes a very important part in every Indian girl's beauty regime. Since the time I was doing my Bachelors, I use to define my eyes with Kajal/Kohl before stepping out of the house.

6. Chambor Stay On Waterproof Eye Pencil Forever Black
Chambor Stay-on waterproof eyeliner pencilcomes in a plastic twist up pencil format which swivels only 1 way since the product inside is very creamy. One needs to be careful while using this packaging to twist up only a small amount of product at a time as it doesn’t go back in easily. While there is the obvious advantage of no product wastage compared to sharpenable pencils, one cannot draw very thin lines with an eye liner housed in such a packaging.

  • Texture : Soft and creamy
  • Pigmentation : delivers full color in a single stroke
  • Smudge proof : Yes

  • Quantity : 0.28 gms
  • Buy online at Habbana.com

7. Seduction Las Vegas The Midnight Black Kajal
The Midnight Black Kajal comes packed in a lavender cardboard packaging with details at the back. The ingredients list is missing and I was afraid to try this on my waterline, since I have highly sensitive eyes.

  • Packaging : Twist up black pencil
  • Texture : Stiff, plastic like
  • Pigmentation : needs 3-4 swipes for the color to show off
