The Black Orb Enigmatic Kohl Eyeliner: Blood

The color payoff is intense — one swipe gives this almost blackened crimson that reads as both gothic and wearable. It lasts through a full workday without smudging, which surprised me for a kohl.

This kohl glides on like butter and the blood-red pigment is seriously intense—one swipe and my eyes looked like they’d seen some things. It stays put through a whole night without smudging, which is exactly what I needed for a dramatic look.

The deep crimson shade is perfect for smudging into a smoky line that lasts through a long workday without fading. It glides on smooth and stays put, though I do have to sharpen it more often than my usual pencils.
