11 Best Colored Eyeliners in India

Hello Beautiful,

Hunting for a good colored eye pencil but couldnt think of one.. well I have the list of Best Colored Eyeliners in India for you!

I love colored eye Liners/ pencils and have quite a lot of them already with me but I jump with excitement whenever I see a new launch and keep dreaming about it until I have it in my possession. Earlier, there were just a few brands like Faces, Lakme and Colorbar who had colored eye liners in their collection but now we have a lot of options to choose from as more and more brands are coming up with their Colored Eye Liner version and find the Best Colored Eyeliners in India.

Today I will be listing the Best Colored Eye Liners/ Eye Pencils from different brands available in India in the drugstore category… ( though some almost the high end prices :P)

Best Colored Eyeliners/ Pencils in India:

1. Faces Canada Faces Cosmetics Long Wear Eye Pencil ( Rs 449) : Faces Canada Long Wear Eye Pencils are probably the first colored eye pencils I have ever tried. They were quite cheap then but now the prices are hikes but the quality remains good. The have a super creamy texture which glides on beautifully and have an intense color payoff. The formula lasts whole day on eyes with minimum fading. They are smudge-proof, water-proof and long lasting. These are sharpenable pencils so you have to carry a sharpener along as the finish off pretty fast. Definitely one of the Best Colored Eyeliners in India.

2. Colorbar Colorbar I Glide Pencils (Rs 450 ): The only other colored eye pencils that were available apart from faces 4-5 years ago were these Colorbar Colorbar I Glide Pencils. These are definitely one of the Best colored eye pencils available in India. These are sharpenable pencils and have the creamy smooth texture with intense color payoff.. It has everything that you can expect from a colored eye pencil and they come in 15 staggering shades!

Shades Available: Jade, Prunella, Elctra, Flirty Turq, Coal Mine, Jaded, Emerald Charm, Amethyst Spark and more

  • Colorbar Just Smoky Eye Pencil (Rs 650) : Colorbar has come up with another version of colored eye pencils with Colorbar Just Smoky Eye Pencil collection which has a smudger tip at the end. The pencils are again creamy, pigmented and long lasting but have limited shades.

3. L’Oreal Paris Superliner Gelmatic Eyeliner (Rs. 450) – L’Oreal Paris has for the first time came up with these colored eye liners. These are retractable Eye Pencils with a gel liner like formula for a smooth and easy application. The color off is intense and one just needs 1-2 strokes to get full opacity. The formula is smudge proof and lasts whole day.
Shades Available: Glamor Gold, Deep Brown, Turquoise, Silver Mania, Blue Force

4. Lakme Absolute Forever Silk ( Rs 405) : Lakme has these twist up pencils since long and I tried two of these Lakme Glide On Eye Color in Electric Violet and Gypsy Green. They have soft, creamy texture which glides on smoothly and give an intense color in a single stroke application. They have a shimmery finish but the shimmers are smooth and give a metallic shine to the liner.

6. Chambor Dazzle Eye Pencil (Rs 595) :Chambor Dazzle Eye Pencil has amazingly soft texture and sets quickly to a fabulous creamy finish which wouldn’t budge and lasts whole day on me. The formula is fantastic and glides smoothly on eyes but the liner falls on the luxury side and is a bit heavy on pocket for the small quantity it comes with. Also like Lakem Silk forever it has a twist up mechanism only.
Shades available: Black Dazzle, Teal Dazzle, Grey Dazzle, Jade Dazzle, Purple Dazzle, Brown Dazzle, Blue Dazzle

The are few more liners in the brand like Chambor Eye Tattoo Liner, Chambor Stay On Waterproof Eye Liner but I am not able to find them online. Though you can find these at Chambor counters.

The color pay off is rich too and they are made in Germany so you can be sure of the quality. The only disappointing thing is they dont have names but just the numbers like all other Inglot products.

Available in 17 shades.

    • INGLOT AMC Eyeliner which has 4 shades in the collection

The formula is immensely pigmented and has a soft and smooth texture that gives an easy application and goes opaque in 2 swipes. The liner quickly sets to a transfer-proof smudge-proof finish which lasts whole day on me with slight fading a wee bit of transfer when used on lower lash line. The liner has impressed with it quality at the price tag. It doesn’t have any waxy feel. They also qualify to be rated among the top Best Colored Eyeliners in India.

There are few more eye liner ranges in Essence but like Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil, Essence Kajal Pencil but you can only find them at few places in India. Here is the List of Places to Buy Essence Products.

I also would like to mention “Krylon” here. Krylon also has its range of eye pencils which are Krylon Professional makeup Face Eye Liners but I am not sure how many shades they have and the hows the formula. Krylon can only be bought in stores and they have just a few here in India so getting Krylon stuff is always a task.

Pheww.. such a long list of eye liners! I cant tell how much I am tempted to order the liners I havent tried yet.. sometimes these compilation posts wake up the inner makeup monster in me :P…

Hope you like this post and find it helpful to pick the Best colored eye Liner for yourself.
