Standard

I got this pencil in the black and it was a nice rich dark black. It generally glides on nicely but occasionally I found that it tugs/catches. I tend to use this when I want a smokey eye as it does smudge very easy. I found that with it smudging easy, it doesn't last all day and can imprint on lower brow where eyelid rests when open.

designer brands kohl eyeliner

This was my first ever eyeliner and for $9 it was very affordable to buy and I thought I did an amazing job. But now that I actually have a job I don't reach for this eyeliner anymore as I have found for me it smudges and it doesn't have a lot of staying power. I have also found that the black isn't that pigmented also. They have an alright color range. I was also appealed to this brand due to a loyalty card when you buy sixth products the seventh one is free.

Tips: Great for beginners or someone on a budget

Average eyeliners, but good for the price!

This eyeliner was the first I ever purchased, way back in the day when I was about fourteen and on a teenage budget! The quality was okay, and while I was still in my 'makeup training wheels' it was good to experiment with some cheap brands like DB. However, after years of experience with makeup now, I have moved on somewhat.

I have used both the Gold and Metallic Brown colours. Both are smooth to apply and blend nicely, but don't last the whole day and aren't very pigmented. For the price these are great options, but I personally would stick with lighter colours from this brand so it will be less obvious if they smudge throughout the day.

Personally, I tend to opt for liquid liners instead as they last longer and have a more dramatic effect.

Tips: For a smokey eye these are great to use - simply apply then smudge with a fingertip. Otherwise a subtle line can look great as well with mascara.

Ok for the price

I bought this eyeliner when I lost mine on holiday. Mine had a sharpener on the lid, which I thought was a great idea. There's a great range of colours, so I got the black and a purple as well. But the black was a bit of a letdown. It was quite hard at first, but softened further down after sharpening quite a few times to find a soft spot that was less scratchy. But it really had no staying power, it smudged pretty quickly and I looked like a panda within an hour. I guess it would be ok if you're going for a smudgy/smokey look, but it still doesn't stay that well. It's not bad for the price, but I would rather spend a bit more and get a brand I know has better staying power.

Pretty good for the price.

When I was on a very tight budget and had run out of black eyeliner this was the product I chose. I generally look for a nice soft pencil that doesn't feel like its dragging on the skin and a nice rich pigmented color. This pencil is pretty good, not the best.. But does the job. I do feel like it drags a little bit and the pencil itself is quite hard to use.. So you want to make sure its not super pointy if you are lining your inner eye. The color pay off is pretty good, but not as dark as I would usually like it. All in all, great for the price if you are on a budget but you need to be a bit more thorough with application to get a more intense color!

Tips: I would recommend drawing a little bit on your hand first to flatten any points.. I find it quite hard and it drags on the eye a little bit which isn't good if you are lining your inner eye.. Excluding that, its pretty good for the price!

DB eyeliner

I use this eyeliner pencil in the shade "violet" I have been using this for several years and is always the purple I go back to. I have used other brands and their purples are quite dark and I like that the designer brands one is a lighter shade. I has a nice soft consistently, and glides on without tugging. Most importantly this product is super affordable so why not have one in every shade.

An Average Staple

This is yet another black khol eyeliner that everyone has in there collection. Its as good as any other eyeliner pen out there.

It has good colour pay of and its very creamy and glides on very good. The black is very black! So its very good!

The ones I got had built in sharpeners which I think is a plus and just makes everything so much easier to use.

In the middle

Its not the top end eye liner but the price reflects that. I found it does smudge easily and is defintley not an eyeliner for anything other than the water line But for the price there isnt much to be faulted about it.

Beautiful colour, dreadful fallout!

I purchased this eyeliner in the colour deep ocean when I was filling in time at pharmacy. I was wanting a navy blue eyeliner to go with a gold eyeshadow and this seems to fit the bill and was a low price point. It went on smoothly with no tugging, but less than five minutes after having it on it had smudged and fallen out. Until I found the Nyx slide on eyeliners I figured all eyeliners did this but now I know they shouldn't! It is a real shame because the colour is stunning but I just can't wear this.

Average

This was one of the first liners I ever used! It's got a nice texture, not quite as soft as I would like though, can drag a little. Nice black colour. Unfortunately the staying power isn't the best and it smudges a lot. It's alright for the price but to be honest I think there is better out there for only a slightly higher price.
