,
I haven’t tried many products by DMGM but whatever I have tried, has turned out good so far. This pencil isn’t any exception. I recently bought it after hearing so much about it and I am really glad that my money didn’t go waste.
DMGM Crayon Kohl Pencil in Black 01
Decorate the windows of your soul with style. Crayon Kohl pencil can be used to create a sharp line for a softer, smoky effect. They are long-lasting and won't crake or streak. It comes in 2 luxurious colors that add depth & definition.

Currently, I own only three pencil/crayon/kajal eyeliners (crayon based) – Rimmel’s Special Eyes Precision Eyeliner Pencil in Black Magic, Oriflame’s Kajal Eyeliner and this one. Special Eyes is creamy, applies smoothly and works great as eyeliner but it smudges in my water line and on the other hand Oriflame’s Kajal Eyeliner stays put in my water line all day. But the only problem with this kajal is that I wonder if there is any way to make it sharp once it gets blunt as it gets difficult to apply it as a thin line. So, I needed something that could be sharpened plus wouldn’t smudge in my water line. This pencil offers everything I was looking for!
I would say it’s actually better than Rimmel and Oriflame both. I tested all three of them to see which one turns out to be the most smudge proof among them. I applied all three of them and after some time I rubbed the swatch and DMGM withstood the best! (You can appreciate that in the photo above)
This pencil comes in two shades – Black and Grey. It is extremely creamy and applies like a dream. It is a true black shade and gives a smooth application. It has an amazing lasting power too both on the lid and water-line. I can’t find any con except that you have to be very careful when you sharp it as it’s quite fragile and tends to break up easily.
I got mine from Agha's Superstore Karachi for only PKR 550 which is affordable. This stuff is amazing and I would definitely recommend it.
DMGM doesn’t have an online store so availability might be an issue.

DMGM products are all manufactured in Italy and I have found them to be quite good. I buy mine at Carrefour in Muscat.
ReplyDeleteGreat review girl looks lovely :) Btw for the oriflame kajal stick you can dip in the nib of any black pencil in the stick and apply it on the water line for a more precise application. That's what i do with mine :)
