5 Eye liner Pencils -Comparative review and my absolute favourite!!

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 :

Swatches: two swipes of each except The Revlon Colorstay and NXY, which are single swipes.

Added two drops of FabIndia Lavender Cleansing Milk

Wiped with a cotton swab once

After 3-4 swipes with the cotton swab, see how the  Revlon one just stayed put there .

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!!
