Lakme Ultimate Glam Eye Liner, Semi Matte, Quick drying, Water resistant & Smudgeproof Eye Liner, Blue, 9ml

Super smooth and easy to apply! The semi-matte finish looks elegant, dries quickly, and stays all day without smudging. Perfect for both daily wear and glam looks—great quality at an affordable price 💖✨

I have been using this eyeliner since I was a teen and till date it has never disappointed me. Affordable and pigmented, with a thin tipping brush to give you the perfect winged eyeliner. However, it is not smudge proof so in case your eyes get itchy and you rub them by mistake while having this eyeliner on, it’s gonna smudge. Other than that it’s also, not water proof and like the brand claims it’s just water resistant, which means if you splash your face with water or accidentally get yourself wet, this eyeliner won’t smudge but if you rub your eyes or use a towel to dry your face it can get ruined. Also, seems like with the new packaging the formula might have been slightly modified as well because the one that I already have dries up in a couple of seconds after applying whereas the new one that I just got takes a couple of minutes for it to completely dry. So if you’re looking for a budget eye liner that will last you long, you can blindly go for this!!!

Good product

Product is good but I got it damaged one

Good 👍 👍 👍

This one has been around for so long it could be soon considered vintage. My mum tells me that this was the best and also the only available eye liner in their heydays in the 70s. One of my Malayali friend used to use this instead of kajal when we were in the 6th grade (mid 90s). Back then, I had no idea what it was, but that was a pretty swell idea to avoid kajal smudge and raccoon eyes given we were in a coastal city - warm and humid. I bought my first eye liner for farewell party in 2000 and at that time this product was bomb! Or so I thought. The formulation was good and so was the brush. It was thin just like it is in their current product profile. I used to practice wearing it so much after the Miss India craze. All our three Miss india's won their respective Int'l pageant that year. It used to give a thin, precise stroke and almost look like tightline effect. I would also practice the cat eye and build up on the thickness of the line. It was so versatile! Soon, around 2005ish, it started getting much watery in consistency. Around 2007 ish I feel, the formulation hit rock bottom. It was very watery and just very bad. Lakme had also come up with new but pricey eyeliners around the same time which were way better, so I loyally shifted to them. Recently, when I was about to blog about the best eyeliners available in India, I thought I had to give this one some mention. After all, it is the longest running eyeliner in India. So, I bought a new bottle and tried and tested it out. The formulation now is much better. It is thicker, and more pigmented. The bottle is the same, but what the heck happened to the brush? It makes my bad hair day look good. Seriously, it puts the wonderful eyeliner to shame. Nonetheless, if you can use an alternate brush like camlin 00, or like i use an angled vega brush, you can still work with the product. I would have justified it as good for practising because it is not just a fat brush, and fat lines look amazing on large eyes, but it is uneven so it just defeats the purpose. Mostly, beginners would like to start with a thin line and when they are confident, start to build up the thickness, so I would not recommend this in that way. Coming to its wearability, it takes longer to completely dry and you just have to keep your eyes closed or look down for 1 - 2 minutes to let it dry. It looks super glossy while it is still wet, but dries matte. It lasts up to say 6 - 8 hours in fair conditions. Like I wore this to office and it stayed out for 4 - 6 hours and then on it just started to fade slowly. I was back home after 10 hours and it didn't peel but looked uneven or maybe it was me looking tired. I have large eyes, so the thick line worked ok. So, all in all, it is not a trashy product. Given its price, it is actually good, forsaking the brush. If you are lucky, you get a good brush, if not, a bad one. One of the reviewers submitted a picture of how her brush looks. I have to say, it is the worst that I have seen. The one i have is uneven, but not so bad. If only Lakme could devote a little bit more attention to the brush, it would revive its lost glory.

Not upto the mark. Very liquidly. Not getting applied.

It’s really good at such a good price.

The Lakme insta liner is the same one I have used for decades in India, so glad Amazon finally decided to stock it... this eye liner has the perfect brush that makes the best solid lines and the colour is consistent.. I put it on in the morning and does not smudge throughout the day..
