Bourjois Khôl & Contour

Really happy to have received this product as I really needed a black eyeliner. For a pencil liner, it does the job pretty well. It goes on relatively easily (though I do have to draw over the line multiple times), and much like a pencil liner I find it doesn’t last all day long for me - definitely towards the evening I see that the line lacks definition and is a little smudged. But I cannot say I found another pencil liner that does not do this, so it’s not a negative for the product. In general, I am very satisfied. #weareeves @weareeves

have been using the Bourjois kohl long stay eyeliner daily for about a week now. My usual is Dior waterproof kohl, and this pencil eyeliner does hold its own for a far lower price. How it compares: While the Dior is creamy and no smooth to apply, the Bourjois is a bit harder, more like a classic Kohl pencil (with a tiny bit of flaking during application, so be sure you check for those and brush them away!). The hardness is something for people with soft/sensitive skin to keep in mind. This pencil has good depth of pigmentation (I've been layering it over powder eyeshadow). One thing I like about the Dior version is the opposite end of the pencil has a handy pointed smudger tip, which the Bourjois lacks. In terms of staying power, the Bourjois seems to be comparable. The Bourjois is not truly "all day into the evening" but I have yet to find any pencil eyeliner that is. I used waterproof liquid eyeliner for years because of the lasting power, but that gives a very different effect than pencil, can sometimes look a bit harsh. On the plus side, no difficulty removing this Bourjois eyeliner at the end of the day. Overall, solid addition to the basic makeup bag.

The pencil has a nice color and is soft but it fades away quite quickly which is a shame. Other than that it is okay ish compared to other products. Skin type / eyelid may also play a role but on my eyes it didn’t stay for a long time unfortunately

I generally don't use kohl pencils often but this is a pretty typical one in my experience. I wish it were more pigmented, as it pulls kinda grey on the eye. Also, doesn't last well on the waterline (half of the colour faded in around 2 hours). Still, it's fine for adding a bit more definition on the upper lash line and doesn't smudge much if you use it for a small wing. I don't thing it's a product for very dramatic eye looks but works well enough for some smokiness. I received it to test so I'm not sure how expensive it is in comparison with other products but seems decently affordable.
