I was pleasantly surprised when this counter girl told me that try this eye pencil its doesnt smudge. I winked and thut it was too much of selling. But try it and see is what she said. And she drew a line on my hand and asked me to hold on for 5 secs and then try rubbing off the line. Well she was indeed right. YOu couldnt rub off the line easily. Though on constant rubbing it faded but did not spread the blackness around like the Kohl pencils. So, for someone like me who loves the heavily adorned kohl look, this was a blessing in disguise. Put it on the lower eyelid make it nice and strong or even on the upper eyelid and forget all those make-up worries. Though I had to shell out more money(Rs. 225), but the pencil could well run upto 4 months even if used everyday . Really good product and worth evey penny.
