Hi girls,
I recently lost my two black kajals so I thought of picking one new for me. I picked this L.A Girl Eyeliner in the shade black but it didn’t reach up to my high expectations. Read on for the more details.

My Experience with L.A. Girl Eyeliner Black:
It is a normal wooden pencil liner which needs to be sharpened but it doesn’t come with any sharpener. The pencil comes in a normal matte black color with a black cap. It is totally travel-friendly one. I prefer a twist up pencil over this but the quality is nice and sturdy and it doesn’t need frequent sharpening. Also there is less wastage during sharpening the pencil.
I have the shade Black and it is a normal soft matte black shade. It looks natural on eyes. It is not that super jet black shade which I mostly prefer to wear. Still I am happy with the shade. Also I can build up the color by layering it. Shade is decently pigmented not highly. It needs a few strokes for the true black shade. It is good for daily wear. It doesn’t have any shimmer or shinning particles in it so it looks pretty on eyes.
It has a very smooth soft texture which glides easily on eyes and also on the water line. There is no tugging during application. It is so easy to apply and it goes very smoothly without any irritation. It has nice velvety matte texture. I can create thin to thick line with this liner. Also it has a nice thin tip that helps to apply my kajal easily on eyes.
It feels soft and never feels patchy after application. It doesn’t dry out quickly so I can smudge it for a soft natural line. But for its creamy texture it smudges from eyes, mostly from my both inner corners. After 3-4hrs my both corners look messy. It also transfers on my oily lid. Formula is not 100% water proof that it moves from my watery eye corners. I don’t like the formula that much. If I rub my eyes unfortunately, it turns horrible. But it acts as a nice base of my smoky eye look.
This is not long lasting eyeliner. It stays nicely around 5hrs but after that it transfers on lid a little. Also it moves from my corners and looks smudgy on eyes. And after 6-7hrs it looks faded and messy around my eyes. But it stays nicely around 5hrs on my waterline which is really a good part. Still I am not impressed with this liner. I always prefer a long lasting smudge proof liner and this is not my cup of tea. I have lots of better option. Only it works pretty well for its creamy texture that I can use it as a base of my smoky eye look. Otherwise it’s just a normal average black kajal.
