I have been using maybelline new york colossal kajal for years and I must say its the best in its price range. the color black is very black and bold. it is nice and waterproof. smudges from this kajal are minimal at the end of the day. it last for a long time in sweaty summer of delhi. it is very easy to use and there is no fuss to sharpen it. I use it as a liner as well. it is also vey nice for people using contact lenses and sensitive eyes. overall its a very nice product.
