My favorite eye pencil: Maybelline Master Drama Khol liner |
Then on a skiing holiday just over a week ago I went down to the hotel restaurant for some food and my friend asked me what eyeliner I was wearing, because she was very impressed that it didn't smudge at all and, obviously, looked very good too. I couldn't believe that someone noticed a good eyeliner, then I realised that it actually is very very good and the best eye pencil out of all that I have had so far.
The three pencils compared
Dior Crayon Khol Pencil 099 Noir Black, Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place eye pencil and Maybelline Master Drama Khol liner |
Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place eye pencil 01 Onyx colour
- Glides well on the eyelid.
- Sharpens well.
- Soft
- Does not smudge a lot, but I do get a stamp on my upper eye lid
- It does need sharpening a lot as it is rather soft.
- Price £16 online on Estee Lauder website.
- All in all, I like it and I have been using it for a while now.
Maybelline Master Drama Khol liner
- I said that Estee Lauder glides well on skin, but Maybelline eye pencil takes this concept to the whole new level. I barely touched my skin and it glided like a dream, absolutely no friction.
- Does not smudge even though it has such strong colour and it looks like it might smudge. Sometimes I see a hint of a line stamp on my upper eyelid after a long wear, but it's very small and it's better than anything I have had so far.
- Gives dramatic sultry look.
- It didn't break when sharpening.
- It does not stay sharp for long, however, due to the fact that it just glides on the skin, I still manage to do a sharp edge, for example, for a cat's eye look.
- Highly pigmented.
- Available in any drugstore.
- Absolutely gorgeous eye pencil. It is by far my favourite.
- You do need to have another pencil for fine lines though. I use Maybelline Master Drama Khol liner on my upper lid and Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place eye pencil for lower lid.
- Maybelline Master Drama costs £4.50 at Boots online, so it's also a bargain.
Dior Crayon Khol Pencil 099 Noir Black
What does Dior website say?
What do I say?
- The pencil is as hard as an ordinary drawing pencil, scratches the skin when trying to glide on it. The only way to draw a line is by pressing really hard onto the skin, which is not good.
- Pigmentation is weak.
- Easy to sharpen as it is so hard.
- Smudges easily.
- Does not match description. It's the worst eye pencil I have ever had. I bought it 5 or 6 years ago and I still have it. I have no idea why as the only place for it is the bin.
- from £15 onwards online. Although there is a lot of Dior Khol Pencil, it's useless for me, so it was a waste of money.
