Lakme Absolute Ebony Black Precision Eye Artist Kajal Review

Hi ladies,

I was completely unaware about this launch by Lakme. I am a fan of “Kohl Ultimate” which I had purchased for around the same price as this one. This again is a smudge-resistant pencil, but it has its flaws. Read on for more details on Lakme Absolute Ebony Black Precision Eye Artist.

Price:
INR 750

My Experience with Lakme Absolute Ebony Black Precision Eye Artist Kajal:

This eye artist comes in a simple twist-up pencil, but this one has a twist. It has a rubberized grip for a better hold. I find the tip quite nice and slim for a very precise application near the lash line. I like how the pencil also twists back, unlike the black liner from Lakme.

This is a lighter black color with some grey tones. It is not too black, and surely not as jet black as the kohl ultimate, to be honest. The color could have been a little more black, in my opinion.

As a kajal, the intensity is not much. I find it slips from the lash line in 2 hours for me. The color on the upper lash line stays for 4-5 hours, but it is primarily smudge resistant. On my hand swatch, the color does not smudge, but if I accidentally rub my eyes, I can see the color coming off. But for not-so-oily lids, you should get a longer wear time.

The pencil is smooth but not buttery. The color could have been more black and as a kajal for Indian women, this is not as deep.

Overall, a nice pencil which does not smudge easily, but if you are addicted to the kohl ultimate, then this will not bowl you over.

Pros of Lakme Absolute Ebony Black Precision Eye Artist Kajal:

• Smooth.
• Twist-up pencil.
• Grey black tone.
• Not too harsh.
• Does not cause irritation.
• Does not smudge easily.

Cons of Lakme Absolute Ebony Black Precision Eye Artist Kajal:

• Not very black.
• Not as good as Kohl Ultimate.
• Not great as a waterline kajal.
• Expensive.
• Smudges when rubbed with fingers accidentally.

Would I Recommend/Repurchase Lakme Absolute Ebony Black Precision Eye Artist Kajal?
It is not a bad liner by any means, if you are looking for a lighter not too harsh black eyeliner pencil, you can opt for this. But if deep smoldering eyes are what you want, this is the wrong choice.
