Isn’t it amazing how putting just a black line on our eyes can alter our look so much and make us feel so good? And what’s better than that black line staying on our eyes for as long as we desire?! I’m always trying out new eyeliners in my quest for finding my HG eyeliner. Although I still haven’t found my HG one, I have one that’s pretty close to it. These black eyeliner/kajals are the one that I use the most and Maybelline hyperglossy liquid eyeliner almost daily. I have more black eyeliners and kajals but did not include them as these 5 are better than them.
There are 4 in picture and that’s because the 5thone is finished and ‘m yet to buy it again. It’s Colorbar I-Glide eye pencil.

The five pencils I have for this comparison post are Maybelline hyper glossy liquid eyeliner (Review HERE), Maybelline 36hr gel eyeliner (Review HERE), Colorbar I-glide eye pencil (Review HERE), Lakmé eyeconic kajal (Review HERE) and LakméAbsolute Kohl Ultimate (Review HERE).

Smudges badly on waterline.

Just so you know,
Water-resistant means it can withstand water for some seconds whereas water-proof means it can withstand all the tears you shed while laughing! Smudge-proof means having resistance to sweat and oil.
Since I have super oily eye lids, the more smudge proof my eyeliner is, the better it is. My most used ones are Maybelline hyper glossy liquid eyeliner, Colorbar I-Glide eye pencil and Maybelline 36 hr gel eyeliner. I also have watery eye corners and Colorbar one performs the best in it. Ask me below in the comments section if you still have any doubts 🙂
Which is your favourite Black eyeliner?
Hahaha! I loved this post! I have tried them all, and I would say, so far, the Hyperglossy Liquid Liner has won me over, while the Maybelline Gel Liner stand first in the Matte Victory Stand.
