Hello divas,
Of late, I've seeing many girls having queries about the best eyeliner for summers and so I thought today I'll do a comparative review of the ones that I own so that its easier for those in doubt to be able to make a decision. So here is the chart I prepared :

So as you all might have guessed my favorite is the Revlon Colorstay one,
I only wish they had given a little more quantity of that fabulous
product in one pencil. Mine is about a month and a half old and already
so much finished :(
Hope you girls find it useful and Thank you for reading!!
What is your favorite Black eye pencil, do let me know in the comments below ..
Have a wonderful Wednesday!!

P.S.: On my list now I have to add black eye pencils from Colorbar , Bourjois, Faces and Inglot ..and when I do that, I'll update this post :))
