Maybelline Colossal Kohl Kajal – Turquoise & Smoked Silver | Review

How many of you wear the same old black kajal/kohl to work/ college day after day? When I am in a rush, even I do it for that matter, but I love to add variety every little way possible. A lipstick and eye makeup product ( eye shadow, Kohl, liner) can change the otherwise same-looking face. Isn’t it?  Lipstick has millions of shades to choose from. The same goes with the Kohls too. To me, life is too short to wear boring makeup. What do you think, makeup lovers?

When it comes to colored eye pencils, I am a hoarder. Maybelline being affordable and of great quality, is mostly my first choice. So the colossal range is not a new name. I remember the classic Kohl became a favorite with so many of us. The color additions in there are too good to be ignored. I picked up the turquoise and smoked silver shades.

The perky yellow packaging is sure to attract eyeballs. Not only that, these pencils are color-coded, which is a boon for a makeup hoarder like me. The Kohl can be twisted up in its retractable form. It quite travel-friendly as the cap shuts with a click-lock.

Smoked Silver

The smoked silver shade is a beautiful mix of gray and metallic sheen. The color itself is a star to create a smokey look and glam up the eyes. The color payoff is decent and applies well on both the upper and lower lash line. Whenever I am in a hurry and want to do something extra to the yes, I use this one and smoke it out. This can also pair up well with any colored liner or eye shadow.

Turquoise

The turquoise shade in any brand is my favorite. I love how it glides and gives a perfect color payoff. The shade is oh so beautiful and can amp up your makeup game in a jiffy.

The texture of these pencils is not the softest, but it’s smooth enough to work its way on the eyes. I would have appreciated a softer texture, though. Both the colors stay well on the eyes for about 7 to 8 hours. I apply it at about 10 in the morning, and it very much stays will 6. However, the Silver one gets a little faded. On the waterline, you will notice slight fading after 6 hours or so. However, the turquoise shade is different, and it stays longer. It might be due to its pigmentation.
