Colorbar Just Electra Just Smoky Kajal Review Swatches Photos

Most of the time I wear only black and brown kajal. Slowly I switched to the green one from this range. I loved how it gave me a subtle olive green colour, but not too green. I was yet not ready to experiment with the brighter colours. But after seeing Shalini wear blue eyeliner in some of her YouTube Makeup videos I am obsessed with the shade blue now. I wear blue liner on my eye lid and the Colorbar just smoky kajal on my waterline. It adds such an oomph to the eyes. The whole face looks brightened up just by adding the blue to the eyes. Thanks to her, now I wear Colorbar Just Electra Just Smoky Kajal  all the time. Sometimes with liner, sometimes just on the water line and sometimes on my eye lids as liner too.

Product Description – Just Smoky Kajal gets you Glam ready in just 50 seconds. This long-lasting, multi-tasking eye pencil gives you 3-in-1 benefits of an Eyeliner, Kajal and an Eye Shadow. It helps you to achieve the mysterious smoky-eyed look which will last for up to 12 hours. It comes with a built-in smudger that is as soft as a cushion which can be used to demystify the art of smoky eyes. The intense color and matte texture of the pencil adds definition and drama to your eyes. It has waterproof property and does not transfer.

Application – After a few strokes of the soft liner along your top and bottom lashes, use the sponge smudger to blend out the color to the desired level of strength for the perfect smoky eye look.

Packaging – Colorbar Just Smoky Kajal comes in the signature Colorbar Silver cardboard box. The Kajal Pencil is dual ended. One end has the sharpen-able color pencil and the other end has the smudger. Both the ends come with fitted plastic caps. The body of the pencil is same as the colour of the kajal.

The packaging is very attractive and travel friendly. Being sharpen-able it leads to product wastage and there is an extra hassle of carrying the sharpener. I wish for the price they had provided sharpener along with the pencil, like they do with their lip liners. The smudger is ok. Nothing too good but not too bad either. Smudges decently.

Shade – As the name suggests the shade Just Electra is an electric blue colour. But it is a wearable, deep blue with slight, very slight shimmers. The shade is so beautiful and instantly brightens up the eyes and the face. It brings such a zest to the whole eye look.

Texture- The texture of the kajal is extremely creamy. It glides on so easily on both the upper lash line and water line. It doesn’t tug or pull on the skin. It is easy to smudge it immediately once its applied. The smudger does a decent job of the same. But once it sets, it stays in place and doesn’t smudge or give you racoon eyes. It does take a few mins to set though. It doesn’t irritate the eyes when applied on the waterline which I love about it. But you cannot correct it or blend it once it sets, it will flake and be very hard to remove.

Pigmentation & Staying Power – The Colorbar Just Electra is insanely pigmented. I can vouch that most of the colours are quite pigmented, as I swatched them on the store. This particular colour is no less. It’s quite pigmented and gives an opaque colour finish with just one swipe. The colour payoff is equally good when applied on upper lash line as well as on the waterline.

Like I said one swipe is enough to get an opaque finish, but for a more intense look you can do 2 layers or more. It will not crease or flake if you add more layers. Only set back is that since it’s so creamy it goes blunt soon and you need to sharpen it again and again which leads to product wastage.

I wish they would bring in retractable style. The staying power is quite decent. It stays on for about 6-8 hours on my upper lash line and 5 plus hours on my waterline, which is great considering my eyes do water at times. It fades gradually and the color starts losing it intensity after the first 3-4 hours. But to remove it completely you do need to use an eye makeup remover or coconut oil.

Overall Thoughts

The Colorbar Just Electra Just Smokey Kajal is a good investment you are looking for a smudge proof, long wearing kajal with intense colour pay off.  As much as I love it, I think it is overpriced for the quantity and also for the fact that it is sharpen-able which leads further product wastage. It is definitely a must buy for the quality, colour payoff and the wear time if you are ok with the price.

Rating – 4/5
