I have had love affair with black eyeliner my whole make up wearing life. It is a very committed relationship. Pencils, powders, creams, gels – I own and use them all and this is the newest addition.
The description is that Tarte has infused the same carbon black pigments that can be found in the line’s Lights, Camera, Lashes! Mascara into a creamy, long wearing eyeliner. Tarte also states that Black Kohl is a great inner rim liner.
This eyeliner is highly pigmented, very intense, very blackest black – which I love. It is creamy so there is absolutely no pulling on the eye and makes it very easy to apply. The double ended brush is the perfect tool for lash lines and the inner rim. The brush is very fine so that you can dot between the lash if you like the look.
Beside the word ‘kohl’, the word ‘waterproof’ caught my attention. I have spent a lot of money on eyeliners claiming to be waterproof, but have disappeared within hours of application and I have not come across an eyeliner that actually was visible on the rim of my eye for any length of time.
I have year round allergies, both indoor and outdoor, and my eyes are always tearing. This eyeliner did not disappear or fade until I removed it. Also, the inner rim held the liner. It was not as black as when first applied, but lasted about 4 hours before it was completely gone – enough time for a casual evening out. Amazing for someone like me who usually cries it off immediately. Oh, and no raccoon eyes.
This, ladies, is a good one.
Peace
