Lakme Absolute Precision Eye Artist Kajal Ebony Black: Swatches & Review

Kajal lovers, here is another beautiful piece coming right your way. I got Lakme Absolute Precision Eye Artist Kajal as a free gift with Lakme Primer +Matte Lipsticks. I have been using it on and off since I am still hooked on Plum Angel Eyes Kajal. But I like it for the performance & the texture it offers. It’s black technically, but I feel it’s not pure black or jet black that you really want your kajal to be. At least on my waterline, it goes bit of grey, & let me tell you, I love it. I have loads of kajals/kohls that are jet black, so having a grey colored kajal is total fun. Actually jet black kajals can be too harsh for my skin tone sometimes, hence, going for a brown (I lost Rimmel Scandalous Eyes in Brown 🙁 )or grey is very nice option for every day look.

Lakme Absolute Precision Eye Artist Kajal

Lakme presents the blackest of black kajal Ebony Black in twist up retractable form which gives intense color pay off. The sharp design gives a nice hold of the pencil for precise application. The kajal goes smudge proof for long hours on your eyes.

Packaging

It comes in an all black retractable stick form. This kind of packaging is very handy since I do not require to sharp the product every now or then which mostly results in wasting the product.

There is a matte black band from where you can hold the pencil and apply it to give without any slip. The tip of the pencil does not stay in shape, but I can still manage it, since I do not wear a winged eyeliner with it.

Shade – Ebony Black

This is supposed to be the blackest back shade. On my hand it is the blackest black, with perfect color pay off, but somehow, my water line is not able to receive that much intensity. Good for me. It mostly looks matte grey, a dark matte grey. Nice color I tell you.

Fragrance & Texture

It is creamy in texture but not ultra creamy that it would break off, plus point for that. So no pressure is required to apply the kajal on my water line, or on my lash line. I hardly wear liner on my lash line since I have small deep set eyes, hence I just line my eyes with this kajal. It goes perfectly smooth every where. No irritation ever noticed.

It won’t smudge on it’s own until you want it too using a smudger or something. It has quick dry formula, hence you need to be quick to smudge it intentionally.

It does not have any kind of fragrance.

Pigmentation

It is intense in pigmentation no doubt. As you can see on my hand, it gives a nice black shade. On my water line, single swipe gives nice dark & matte grey color. 2-3 swipe intensify the color, but never wash out my wheatish complexion.

Finish

It sets into matte finish. This beauty can not give you shiny eyes & it’s not sorry for that. The formula is quick dry hence, sets very soon.

Longevity

It stays put for nice 6-7 hours, the maximum I have worn it till the day. It does not smudge as such but if rubbed with water it can come off in layers, weird huh?

Likes

• Nice creamy texture. glides on eyes very smoothly.
• Nice color payoff.
• Does not smudge,
• Stays put for 6-7 hours.
• Does not irritate eyes.
• Convenient packaging.
• Quick dry formula gives matte finish.

 Dislikes

Summary : 4.5/5

Lakme Absolute Precision Eye Artist Kajal, offers smooth texture, quick dry formula, intense color & smudge proof long stay. It is bit pricey but worth every penny. 

Hope you liked the review. Please don’t hate me for the bad pictures, since I don’t have my DSLR with me right now and the weather is gloomy so my mobile camera is bit off too.

Love…
