This brand is one of the first few brands I’ve ever tried as a teenager. Besides being budget friendly, it is also quite good in quality. It may be a good choice for beginners but I feel there are better brands who deserve more recognition than this one. The Elle18 kajal is definitely the most smudging kajal I have ever used. It turns into a gooey mess within minutes of application and fades away in no less than 20 minutes. I understand it costs 60 bucks but the quality and quantity you get at this price tag, for me, is a little too less. Coming to the compact, it fails to comply to the intended purpose and looks more grey on any skin. I would recommend looking at other options and better brands than investing in this particular brand. The products are not skin friendly and often break me out more than usual. So make a wise choice and choose correctly before making a concrete decision.
