Lakme Eyeconic Black Kajal Review

by Gowmi

I am a kajal person and I have been experimenting kajals with smudge proof quality and long lasting staying power. When Lakme Eyeconic Range came up with these qualities, I was waiting to try one. I could neither find Lakme kajal online nor in shops, still I don’t know why Lakme kajal disappear all of sudden. Who cares now! I bought the Lakme Eyeconic kajal 3 weeks before and now here is my review on it.

Price and Quanity:

Rs.199 for 0.35g

My Take on Lakme Eyeconic Kajal:

Packaging: Lakme Eyeconic kajal is a twist-up one and retracts back inside safely. It has a sleek body; I personally feel that it is so cute and very travel friendly.

Color, Texture & Pigmentation: I compared colossal kajal with lakme eyeconic kajal. I can say lakme has less intense black color compared to the colossal one. Lakme glides smoothly on upper and lower lash lines. But it doesn’t glide well on the waterline. I don’t why, I use much kajal on waterline and I miss this thing with Lakme Eyeconic. So overall, you need more swipes for an intense black color.

How it works: I tried Lakme Eyeconic kajal when before sleep at night, for testing though. I could see, it doesn’t smudge on my upper lash line, little on my lower lash line and by waterline it smudges a lot. It doesn’t sting my eyes and yes it’s true that it is dermatologically tested. The staying power is about 6 to 7 hours hardly and I feel it’s good compared to the colossal kajal. It will be good for daily use purpose and of course easy on a trip. Removing this kajal is such a pain; you will need a good cleanser to remove this kajal as it is waterproof.

EOTD:

PROS:

Staying power is too good, I may say 8 to 7 hours but not 10 though
It is truly waterproof
Doesn’t sting eyes at all and dermatologically tested
Doesn’t smudges on upper and lower lash lines
Good for oily lid babes 😉
Travel friendly and a cute twist up one

CONS:

Doesn’t go smooth on waterline
You will need more swipes for an intense black shade

Rating: 4/5

Do I Recommend?:

Yeah! All could try this one out. I cannot say that it is a great kajal but a decent one.

Would I Repurchase?:

No, it doesn’t go smooth on waterline and smudges a lot on lower lash line as I got watery lids. I am waiting to try the Lakme Satin kajal or and any other which satisfies my oily lids.

17 Replies

I am reviewing a liquid eyeliner from Lakme Fantasy Collection now. Sorry for irregular post time, I was a little lazy and also had some works. I remember doing some EOTD here with this eyeliner, which you can check out here. I know, this is somewhat a late review for this liner, but still I wanted to review this one as it became one of my favorite eyeliner. Now, let the see the product description before going into the review.

Product Description: Steal the secret to those twinkling eyes with a gel based liner infused with micro-fine glitter particles. This rich sparkle liner lets you line, layer or blend without smudging or spreading. I will be showing you some swatches and also a EOTD using this eyeliner, nothing much I have simply used this on my bare eyes (Ofcourse kohl-ed he he ) and hope you will enjoy this review. Don’t forget to read my reviews of Lakme Insta Eye Liner and Other Lakme Products.

My Experience with this Product

This liquid eyeliner comes in a very classy sleek case with a long applicator. I loved the way of packaging, it is really cute and trendy. The lid is golden colored and the case is transparent. Stiff and travel friendly packaging, overall very well packed.

The shade of this eyeliner is somewhat grayish blue with white, sky blue and dark blue shimmers in it, which are not all OTT on your eyes. You can apply this liner in whatever way you want as the application is so easy and in control.

Soon after I applied this on my eyes it dried like a magic, within 2 or 3 seconds. I am impressed the way it dries because the Lakme insta liner one takes ages to dry 😛 the shade is not at all over powering, it is a daily wearable shade and a great substitute for regular black. I stopped using the black liners and jumped to this one recently.

This fantasy eyeliner stays for up to 6 hours and even more if you don’t sweat. It doesn’t smudge at all whatever I rub, but pour some water and rub, it will totally vanish off. I expected it to be water proof but sadly it is not. This will go well for people who doesn’t sweat much and surely a great buy I would say!

And see now, how it looks on my eyes.

PROS

Lovely shade, somewhat blueish gray. This is a daily wearable subtle glittery eyeliner.
Quick drying, dries in 3 seconds.
It doesn’t smudge however you rub
Stays for a decent time.
Easily available
Can be removed easily with your daily cleanser.
Easy application with the long applicator. Every application is smooth.
The texture of the eyeliner itself is smooth with subtle shimmer which do not look OOT on your eyes at all.

CONS

Not waterproof
Might be pricey for the little quantity

Nothing more! I really love the shade. Waiting to try the other shades as well.

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

My Recommendation: Try for sure! This makes a perfect casual/formal wear eyeliner with subtle shimmers.

Will I Repurchase?: Of course. I will. I love this shade very much.

Easy 3 Minute Eye Makeup Tutorial for Beginners

29 Replies

Hey girls! Today I am here with a simple EOTD. Being an eye makeup beginner, I started loving experiments in eye makeup and the results are these continuous EOTD posts. I am sure, I will be posting more EOTDs and tutorials here as I almost turned an addict of them. This EOTD is the result of my morning try. I just started to try something different, no pre planning and it ended up like this. I am not that impressed with my perfection here, but still I loved the colour combination a lot. I used 2 different eyeliners with different shades and made the eyeshadow subtle. Let me show you the pictures and explain you the steps briefly.

Steps

1. Cleanse and Prime your eyes. I skipped the primer here and used the Lotus Herbals Swift Makeup stick instead. Apply your kajal (Optional) and wash your eyelids with the eyeshadow of your wish. I made the shade of the eyeshadow very light in this EOTD.

2. Now start lining your eyes with your favorite shimmer eyeliner. Don’t go for black this time as black is the colour we girls use most of the days. If you are a expert in lining your eyes, you can do it in your comfortable way. If you’re still a beginner, don’t worry. First start lining from the middle upper lash line to the the outer corner, then line from the inner corner and join both. You can extend the eyeliner up to a some length of your wish but I personally prefer to extend not more than a bit, for a natural look.

3. After the eyeliner gets dry, start lining thin above the glittery eyeliner using your pencil eyeliner. Make sure both the shades match. As the first one we used is the shimmer one, a matte eyeliner will do the trick now. I prefer using any dark colour for this to get a fuller eye look. Apply your mascara and allow it to dry.

4. Now you can skip this step if you want 😛 I just tried something funny. If you’re going out somewhere, please do skip this step. I designed my outer corner little funny with a liquid eyeliner simply. That’s it. My EOTD is done. As a beginner, I felt very easy doing this, so hope you will too.

Products Used

1. Lotus Herbals Swift Makeup Stick.
2. Lakme Fantasy Shimmer Eyeliner (Midnight Moon)
3. Deborah Milano Long Lasting Eye Pencil
4. Lakme Insta Eye liner
5. Faces Cosmetics Eyeshadow Duo

Hope you liked the tutorial. I am waiting to hear from you what you feel now! 🙂
