Best Kajal in India: Lakme Eyeconic vs Maybelline Colossal vs L’oreal Magique Review
Its battle time on VNA tonight. Because I’m craving to watch Rise of Empires and I can’t find a companion to go out with. The boys in my class have seen it already and the girls are not interested. Only my brother is left and he won’t go out until his 12th boards finish (his whatsapp status reads “Mission SRCC”. My a**) So let’s do a spoof! Okay don’t run away please. You noticed I was posting kohl reviews back to back? Because a comparison post was in order and the warriors are the three popular budget kajals in India: Eyeconic Kajal by Lakme, Colossal Kajal by Maybelline
and Kajal Magique by L’Oreal. I’ve reviewed and swatched all three separately also. So let’s get started. But before that let us all shout “SPARTAAAA!!”
Lakme Eyeconic Kajal vs Maybelline Colossal Kajal vs L’oreal Kajal Magique
Pigmentation:
Eyeconic: Blackest black of all three
Colossal: The new 12hr formula has a bit of grey tone in it. Although its not noticeable but the zoomed in camera swatches pick up the difference. So its slightly less black though not much of a difference.
Magique: A little less black but after layering you can’t see much of a difference.
Winner: Lakme Eyeconic
Texture:
Eyeconic: As I said in my review, its creamy and glides on smoothly without any tugging.
Colossal: The texture is matte so although its not difficult to apply but not the smoothest out of the three.
Magique: A cross between the two
Winner: L’Oreal Kajal Magique
Staying Power:
Eyeconic: Stays on all day on my upper line and for 5-6 hours on my waterline.
Colossal: Almost similar
Magique: Same
Winner: All three! I don’t know why but all these kajals have similar staying power on me
Lakme Eyeconic Kajal vs Maybelline Colossal Kajal vs L’oreal Kajal Magique
Swatches from left: Kajal Magique, Eyeconic, Colossal
Packaging: I dunno why I am even talking of it! It doesn’t matter honestly but Colossal stands out in my kohl collection. I’ve 10-12 kohl pencils right now and it definitely saves me some time.
Winner: Maybelline Colossal
Lakme Eyeconic vs Maybelline Colossal vs L’oreal Magique
Price: Rs.199 for Eyeconic, Rs.175 for Colossal and Rs.245 for Magique
Considering they all are pretty much similar, Maybelline offers the lowest price and hence wins the budget category pricing.
And the best Kajal is: Lakme Eyeconic Black! I love how its super easy to use and lasts a long time without any smudging. But my friends and a lot of girls I know use Maybelline Colossal. Maybe because its the oldest and people don’t experiment much after they have found their HG Kohl. But ofcourse its not the same with beauty bloggers! I don’t repurchase a product even if its the best one out there because I get bored easily and the new launches tempt me to experiment. But in this case I have finished 2 pencils of Eyeconic so yes definitely a repurchase for me.

FINALLY! Finally someone agrees with me. Lakme eyeconic glides like butter, stays on forever and is really *really* intense. Ive tried all 3 and I totally agree with the comparison. I’m on my 4th Eyeconic and I cant get enough of it <3
I prefer eyeconic to colossal too (havent tried loreal), but now that I’ve started using kohl ultimate i think all the other kajals pale in comparison! though it’s so expensive :/
I am using the maybelline colossal kajal for last three years, completely happy with the product. it stays on for 6 to 8 hours even for oily skin. before this i have experimented with himalaya, lotus, revlon kajal but all were bad. they did not stay put.
i love eyeconic … somehow collossal doesnt work for me at all … and above all i like revlon s blackest black .. i havent seen a blacker and smoother eye pencil … it gives a jet black impression on my irritation prone waterline… it s A-mazing
That was a very good benefaction comparison… I’ve only used Lakme Eyeconic and Maybelline Colossal. I couldn’t find L’Oreal Magique at my country. I love both Eyeconic and Colossal kajal but I love Colossal as I find the colour is more prominent on my skin and texture more smooth to apply.
I really love lakme eyeconic kajol…its definitely different for Maybelline and loreal …Eyeconic kajol easily to apply… And smudge free… Looks same to same from 9 to 5… I definitely refer lakme eyeconic kajol ……
I totaly disagree with the post. Eyeconic smudge soon… And eyeconic cannot be compared to colosal. It never smudge although color is not too dark. I love colosal
Fantastic blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused .. Any suggestions? Thanks!

New Maybelline Colossal kajal: Extremely Black, pencil glides on easily on eyelids without tugging, stays for a long time. However, it smudges a bit on my water eyecorners.
