Hi I'm Tati from GlamLifeGuru, thank you for watching my video, please be sure to check out my collection of makeup videos where you'll find my best beauty tips, tricks and favorites on everything from top luxury cosmetics to my favorite drugstore makeup. Whether you're looking for a new product review, tutorial, beauty tip, haul or perhaps even a giveaway, I hope you enjoy watching.
Hello tati i'm a french girl who worked for guerlain 2 years ago and I just want to say that's not an eye liner but a khôl like traditional oriental khôl, so you have to use it on the waterline : you have to put in it the corner of your eye, close your eye on it and slide to the other side and it will color your waterline. My English isn't perfect but I hope you understand my advice 😘 from the south of France
Selon Ely thank you finally someone actually explained how to use it without making fun of her
Patrycja Karłowska that's not the question here... And it's not my brand, i'l not the creator, but I'm totally okay with you it's really expensive ! That's the problem with luxury brands sometimes, you pay the brand not the product. :/
Patrycja Karłowska Kohl in the Middle East and South Asia can also be very expensive as well. There is $2000 dollar high end Kohl in Saudi Arabia not just the mass market cheap kind. It's really about where you get it and branding.
I hated this product with guerlain. I tossed it in the trash. And I knew exactly how to use it, but it never stayed on me. The kohl just went everywhere and stained everything.
@@amnahsince87 I'm a South Asian and I use khol a lot. I don't think 1 dollar is expensive.
Powder liner is not a new thing. I'm middle eastern and anyone grown up or descended from that region grew up calling this surma. Same with a bunch of other cultures, using that exact wand method. Kind of annoying that a big brand would make something like this and put a huge price tag on it when it's available for a dollar at middle eastern shops.
I agree. It's used in India too and its called surma, my grandma would use it all the time. Also the ones that are made back in India are a lot blacker and darker and so much cheaper
Exactly, it's just surma 😡
Hajira S. the wand really reminds me of the eyeliner from the middle east that my late grandmother brought when she was there back then.
I'm from Argentina and I used a very similar product most of my highschool years. Haven't finished the video but it'd stay all day and was super black. The wand maybe tricky at the begging but once you get used to, is super practical. Mine also was pretty cheap and the first one was given by my mom (she has moor relatives in her lineage).
Hajira S. Even the packaging looks similar to the traditional ones, with the gold little bottle...
This is a straight luxurious copy of what our moms used to use in Morocco 🇲🇦!! You have to align that “sword” with your waterline and close your eyes and literally rub it sideways lol 😝 that’s how my mom used to do, and trust me there was some pigment! Great video Tati xx 💋
Lamia L wow that’s so cool!
Is that like kajal kohl?
Exactly im moroccan and my mom and grandma has been using it for so long
If ur a Muslim and watching I know how u feel lol 😁
MakeupGirl 101 me 😂🤚 she got fooled 😂😂
Haha Tati’s so cute when she doesn’t know something 😂😂
Pinkfloof chawn do u like k pop?
MakeupGirl 101 Oh my God YESSSS HOW DID YOU KNOWWWWW !!! 😬😬😬😬 K-pop is my lifeeee right now other than k-dramas and anime 🙊❤️
I saw ur like videos and it legit looked exactly like mine lol XD I LAVVVVV K POP RN ESPECIALLY BTSSSSS
This kind of eyeliner has been used in the Middle East & India since forever! I have been using this product for almost 20 years. I'm very surprised why it's so new in the USA?! It's very easy to use if you aren't scared of it of course! On its own inside, above and under can look so beautiful. The actual name of this kind of eyeliner is Sormeh. You can watch an Iranian video that it's in two parts and shows you how to apply Sormeh. It's called " Applying Sormeh by Zan"! You can have it as dark or as light as you wish. Another beautiful look Tati
Faranak Peart -Do you know if there is anywhere to purchase authentic Sormeh in the US, or to have it shipped to the US? Also, is it only worn in gray & black, or do you wear different colors for fun, weddings, etc? I struggle with keeping a normal eyeliner in my waterline, & everyone says this lasts a very long time! Thank you for sharing!!
SURMEHHHH .. i spelled it weirdly lolz... in my comment .. but yeah .. i laughed a lot in this video because its SURRMEEEHHHH ... loose powder eyeliner .. hehehh e
Faranak Peart not 20 yrs 1400+ yrs the prophet also used shurma stone Khol on his eye
Rebecca Ude it’s traditionally made with shurma stone and the stone is greyish colour not even black n you cant get that stone in other colours but I’m not sure what guerlian made it with
Except that stuff they use tends to have mercury and other chemicals that are extramly bad for the eye. I watched a document about it on CZcams. Can't recall the name of the channel
Wait, did I miss something here? That Guerlain liner has absolutely no color to it...? It looks a bit better on the water-line, but on the upper lash...not that great. 🙅🏼♀️
Billie Krasniqi My thought. I was like what do you mean? I think she was trying hard to like it.
Billie Krasniqi didn't see it on her eyes, too...
Agree.
Completely agree! I was like nope sorry not worth the 41 bucks. I thought the color was suppose to b black not light gray
I thought so too! it looks like nothing.
That looked grey, not pigmented, and basic :/ I feel like any decent eyeliner could do that. What am I missing lol?
america this is just kajal/kohl not liner. They are just making others fool
I thought excately the same. Why does she love it that much? I would never buy that..
OMG I LOVE UR CHANNEL AMERICA
same! this is not even half assed, it's just straight up awful
It’s because she’s using it wrong
This type of waterline liner is less than 1 dollar in pakistan or india ....company fooled u 😂
Hahahahah also in Morocco
Yes Yes its SURMA 🤦♀️
Hi tati this kohl is what our grandmothers use to line their eyes using all natural kohl the only thing u did wrong is the way you applied it to your water line 😅 your suppose to put the whole sword thing diagonaly on your water line and close your eyes and move it side to side this way you get pigment on both lower and upper water line 😁 yes it is uncomfortable cuz it's powder but I think it's too over priced and it's not even the real thing 🤔
Just a warning not suitable for those who put contacts powder gets everywhere 😅
Exactly! I'm arab and we still have this type of packaging lying around everywhere hahaha
You are right, I used to wear it all the time when I was in Mexico. Love to wear it but not sure if this one will do it for me
Made Belbayt right! I was about to tell her that but thank god you did bcs I wouldn’t even know how to explain the whole thing. Me personally, I’m kind of freaked out by the actual way to use this kohl so I never tried it before but I’ve seen my grandma does it and I was like, NOPE. Hahah 😂💕
We have those lying around everywhere at home and some people really think they can charge 40+ Dollars for it 😭😭😭
Exactly! in some places it’s called Athmad and it’s usually used only on the water liner
For a $41 eyeliner, that is way too grey for me
It’s actually used much differently than portrayed in this video
Im surprised she was ok with that pigment. It’s wayyyyyyyyy too light
Fatema Baqeri woah, how so?
First name Last name ikr!!!
I freaking adore tati, but I don't think she's any more educated on makeup than the rest of us unfortunately. I wouldn't exactly consider her a guru. She never really does anything drastic with her makeup, and I've never seen her try an outer V. Every time I see her do a look, I always hope she'll drag some of that eyeshadow out a little and get really cat eye and playful.
I think shes afraid to step outside of her comfort zone sometimes. But I still enjoy watching her try different products. She's got great character. One of those people you could see yourself binging on cheese and wine with on a rainy day
Kohl is used on the waterline, you press the wand against your water line and swoop to the side. Its known as Kajal, Kohl or Surma and can be purchased on Etsy, eBay, and commonly middle eastern and Muslim shops. I personally think the Guerlain liner is truly a rip-off. It is so easy to get ahold of, handmade is better, you can make it at home even like you could have made it at home and bought a 20 dollar bottle with the applicator from Etsy and it would be identical if not better.
This is what we Muslims call it Soor-ma !! This one is really inexpensive in india.. and ds one is only for waterline.. we use it regularly.. really good for eyes..
Exactly!! $34 is jst riddiculous. In India we get it so cheap that it doesn't even cost their $1.
Why just “muslims”? Anyone from south asia/middle east knows about it..but arabs calls it kohl
Same in Pakistan
Yea I don't think it looks black at all. I agree with James it looks grey or brown... I dk I don't think it looks good at all!
i agree. i get that it is a powder so it wont be as pigmented as a cream or liquid liner, but still, it looks to sheer to me. i'd rather use a black shadow and save those 41 bucks.
Vanessa Ell I feel like I can get the same look but darker with the black urban decay shadow that's in almost every one of their pallets
Vanessa Ell I completely agree with you. It's completely unnecessary to spend 41 buck on it if you could get this with any black eyeshadow
Sofia Rúbia yes absolutely agree, and a black shadow would look even more pigmented and not so faded!
agreed! I would rather use a black shadow for 2 bucks
For all the commenters saying it's grey: this is surma which is supposed to be grey. It's used in the waterline. One must slide the swordlike applicator between one's closed eye.
If you want it to be black then you can use kajal which is also a powdered liner for the waterline but is black.
One more thing, these powdered lines do cause irritation for a few seconds but it's okay. If the irritation stays longer then discontinue use and visit your doctor. One can also prevent irritation by not sharing the product with anyone.
Hope anyone reading this will gain some knowledge 😊
Love from Pakistan
Malyha Khakwani is there any chance you know of some good brands for those of us in the states to look for and try? I'm so curious, but it's not something mainstream American beauty really touches.
Malyha Khakwani not worth it
Was going to say this! But I personally used surma for a few days back in school (was a big thing) it gets everywhere. Not worth it if you’re using it for beauty purposes. Using it for religious reasons seems fine or to clean your eyes out.
Ruth Jacob no sorry.. i don't know of any surma brands especially in the US 🙁
Fatima Masud totally
It is over priced but ur using wrong it’s not like real eyeliner it’s kohl
Funnily someone call is it kohl and knows how to use it thank u
MakeupGirl 101 I was go ask my mom than I saw ur comment it kohl
I agree! Just doing the upper lashes and lids is so very pretty! It makes your eyes look huge and it's really flattering
Instead of WTF, WTP? Worth the price?
Yorufan7 when did she decide to stop the WTF series?
Or “what’s the price?!”
CZcams immediately demonetizes those videos because of the WTF portion. It's ridiculous lol. So she's wanting to rename it.
YES worth the price would be perfect to replace wtf
Hello beautiful
So, Guerlain released this product many years ago (I think almost 20 years ago) and also had it in gorgeous blue and brown (and maybe even more colours).
The product is designed to look and to be used like the ancient Arabic way of putting an eyeliner- in fact, the word Kohl is based on the Arabic word Kch'l (the "ch" part is not pronounced like "tsh", but like the back-in-your-throat-almost-coughing sound that is used in Arabic, Hebrew, Welsh and few other languages around the world..).
The proper way of using it, is to open your eye, put the wand on the water-line, close your eye (while the wand is still there!), and then slowly pull out the wand by dragging it to the side- this way your entire lower AND upper water lines are smeared with the product, and you should end-up with a nice look (with practice you can perfect the technique to give you a nice smudged/semi-smoky eye).
Hope my explanation (and short history lesson.. hehe) was helpful and I hope to see you try it
again using the way I suggested..
Lots and lots of love,
Tom :)
xoxo
Tom Idelson -That is fascinating, thank you for sharing!! I knew about the pronunciation, but not the application method! So interesting 💜!
I was wondering if I'd see a comment like this! I actually saw a documentary on this not too long ago, where they talked to some women in other countries who still use this technique and I found it to be absolutely beautiful! I feel like she would LOVE it so much more if she tried it the way it was intended to be used! But, even still, this is WAY over priced for what it is!
Kayla Hebert I think I saw the same documentary! I was so intrigued!
You explained it perfectly 👌🏻👌🏻
Tom Idelson thank you for sharing. I love it when we connect the things we do today to the women of the past.
This product suppose to be only for water line.. I am from Middle East and for a very long time ppl use to do only their water line with that type of product..it has a long story behind it
OMG! It looks BEAUTIFUL in your waterline! When you asked "do you like this", I ACTUALLY talked back to you and said, "YES!" because I think when I watch your videos, it seems like I'm really there with you.
i don’t think it looks good🤔 i think any eyeliner from the drugstore is a 100% more black and pigmented idk
i just don’t really understand it but tati looks amazing with that red lip😭❤️
I agree 100 percent
I agree too!!
Agreed it looks dusty and not pigmented
It’s supposed to look like surma not all black eyeliner.
I think this is a more " smokey line" -ish type of think .... I thout that too but if you think in that way , its nice .... Like you go for a black pencil and smoke it with a black eyeshadow ....:)
It's not very black, it has fallout, costs 41$ and you liked this? Not worth it for me sorry
Stella Wolf preach!
Stella Wolf my thoughts exactly!
i think the eyeshadow had fallout not the eyeliner
Emily Elizabeth she only applied eyeliner, then talked about the fallout. So it’s definitely the eyeliner which had fallout
She didn’t apply it correctly
My mom uses this. Its the same packaging and everything.) It’s surma from Pakistan which you can buy for 100 Pakistani rupees which is equivalent to 1 US dollar.
I have this Eyeliner from Guerlain in Blue and Black! And I love it.
FOR THE PEOPLE ASKING WHERE IS THE PIGMENT?!
This is not your typical eyeliner, it's called "Kajal" and it's been used for centuries in the middle east, india, pakistan and Egypt. it's not supposed to be on your lids, you're not supposed to do a wing with it, you only use it in your waterline. and it looks very pigmented and dark in the waterline.
Nada Ahmed but it didn’t look pigmented or dark in her waterline
Nah it doesn’t. Can’t really see it
It actually isn't meant for pigment.. people used to do small wings with this thing.. and it was smudgy and sexy.. you know what i mean
Nada ahmed yes it has been used for centuries in middle east, and what we have used way too pigmented and dark than this! Sorry but this is like crap
zeina hamade that’s why you get the original ones from the middle eastern stores. Not the ridiculously overpriced ones.
You should call it WTP - Worth The Price? ! :)
GENIUS
Alexis I was gonna say this lol
Or WTF - worth the fortune 😂
I was going to say Worth the Fuss 😂
Alexis that’s what I was saying too!
I am in LOVE with the dior Matt raspberry lip colour 😍
I would love it if you do more Clinique reviews though, they are allergy approved and a lot of us on your channel have sensitive skin please review their items and tell us what you TATI APPROVE (tm) we love u !
That liner on your water line makes your eyes pop so much more! Really brings out the color!
We never apply kohl on top of the lids, we apply it in the water line. Put the wand horizontally in the water line and close your eyes and swipe😘
Siham Ten do you have a video recommendation to see someone doing that?
Siham Ten hahahaha both u and me are here like "get your kohl education girl" :p
Joanne A Ikr!
gsd715 i actually don't but i looked on CZcams couldn't find a video that shows the right authentic traditional way 😟
Joanne A yes🤩
It didn’t look very black to me more grayish 🧐
charcoal is more grey as opposed to black
RayaSunshineee but even so... Charcoal colored eyeliners are more opaque and less pathchy
It’s true that charcoal isn’t as dark as a black liner but for this price I would expect it to show better on the lids.
Agree. Feels like she's more excited about the brand than the actual product. If it was a Sephora branded product I feel like she'd be tearing it apart.
Elle Vate This eyeliner is patchy af!!! I feel like Tati would call it out immediately 😭
Your eye color is so gorgeous. It does make your eyes look small but your eyes just pop.
You look really pretty with black liner on your water line. I feel like it makes everyone look better. ♡
but.... where is the pigment? $41 for a 'black' eyeliner that is actually just a sad grey??? no thanks.
rach for real, you could literally get the same look with an eyeliner brush and charcoal eyeshadow
Thats what i thought. I couldnt believe she said she liked it when she first put it on!
I was confused. I’m wondering if maybe the effect she loved actually didn’t transfer on to the camera?
exactly... wtf
That's because she didn't applied it the right way, not surprise since it's her first time using such wand, first timer would be afraid 'stabbing' their eyes.
where’s the pigment
its not an eyeliner so its not supposed to be used on the eyelid
Tati! I wear black shadow almost everyday. When I get fall out, instead of wiping it away or leaving it if you already have concealer on, just take your blow dryer and turn it on full speed ! Just blow it on your face and it’ll take care of the problem! Works for me every time!
That snow white mirror is the cutest thing ever! I want one
Omg i just saw the applicator of this eyeliner and in our country we have a thing called "surma". This applicator is an actual copy of that. It's a powder and is used on the waterline but the difference is that you really swipe it between the upper and lower waterline from in to out. You'll love it and it's actually much less expensive than this😂
Triveni Arora like this is just some nonsense bougie ass item lolol Surma ftw
But you cant wear surma if you're not muslim
Shokh Hossain I don't think so!
Triveni Arora exactly!! Boujee way to rip off!
Shokh Hossain that's not true. Everyone can wear surma no matter you are Muslim or not.
I feel like this is a flop... where is the pigment?!? I could barely see it.
BUT that red lip tho 😍😍😍😍
Its not supposed to be dark like liquid eyeliner its the color of it
Its not an eyeliner tho
Yess, this is the Arabic khôl 😍 it looks nice on u
Do more research about Arabian khôl, and try to use the natural one, it’s muuuch cheaper 😂😂
Omg I love the kitty on your profil picture , so adorable
well..that's not innovation actually. People used to use it Middle East since long time ago. Surely cheaper and very black, not like this one
Cindy yeah its used here in pakistan and is less than one dollar so cheap
Tati with a red lip 😍😍😍
Adela right?!
I bet James loved that red lip
Adela is it the Coca Cola lip?
Yes i love that look❤
I know!!! I wanna know what color it is and it’s not listed in the description box.
It is KOHUL as we say it in Arabic, and is not suppose to be BLACK it is mostly used to help clear your eyesight, also for beauty puposes, so I know it looks unfamiliar to alot of people here, but in the middle east and in India it is very very very common, and I actually love it on Tati's eyes❤❤
Mira Franki How does it clear your eyesight? Just curious.
Does it smudge?
Stacey Noffke that's because of the ingredients that it's traditionally prepared with. One of my aunts makes it by burning the almonds and collecting it's soot. Different people use many different ingredients like that.
Stacey Noffke try googling benefit of shurma eye liner
Nina valentine yes it does
Hi Tati! I never know how to match my lipstick to my eyeshadow but I always hear you talk about how certain lipstick colors don't match your eye look. You should do a video on some tips to matching your eyes to your lips!
My daughter Delilah said love you too Tati. We always watch your videos together she’s one of your biggest littlest fans 💕
What about wtp: worth the price
Abril Ailén lol I just said the same thing
Favorite one by far I've heard!
This is a good one! I hope Tati sees it!
I was thinking something similar but it was “What the Price”
idk how she was impressed there was literally no pigment
d hunny I enjoyed the look on her. It was a dusty gray and looked adorable. I'd be impressed to.
d hunny exactly. Could barely see it. My drugstore eyeshadow performs better than that and it’s only a fraction of that price. Also don’t think you should put powder on your waterline - especially with very sensitive eyes 👀
Ikr
I don't think it was so much of an issue pigment as it was the color of the powder. I think it's supposed to be a grey, not black
your videos are always so straight to the point, relaxing and informative. you’re definitely my fav beauty guru tati! i really appreciate you, girl ❤️😘
I REALLY REALLY LIKE THAT EYELINER, IT IS VERY LIGHT AND THAT IS WHAT I LIKE. IT LOOKS REALLY NATURAL, AND VERY BEAUTIFUL, I DON’T USE EYELINER, BUT I WOULD USE THAT ONE
Tati... this eyeliner is so not pigmented. Its literly looks like you put some grey eye shadow...
Its added nothing to your eye makeup lol
Neta Batata it doesn't look black at all!
Wanting free PR goodies? Baffled lol! Very over the top for the result
I thought it was lacking in color.
i agree for 41 bucks that eyeliner is total crap. its super light and looks like light grey eyeshadow or something. and when she put her lashes on you couldn't even see it at all. i wouldnt pay a dollar for that.
You'd be surprised how different things look on camera compared to in person. I trust Tati and I bet it looked great.
Don't understand the the eyeliner. It' looks like a weird muted grey???
Heather Lynn Also, $41 is crazy even for a great eyeliner
I love all the comments informing us of the REAL cultural background of this type of beauty item! Just knowing more about it inspires creativity! And another reason i love u Tati bcuz u try all these diff things & we all chime in together 💋💋💋💋💋💋👍👍👍
I LOVE LINER ON MY LOWER WATER LINE! I don't care if it's out of style. I don't care if it makes your eyes look "closed off." I don't care if it makes you look like you're doing your makeup in 2004. I think it makes everyone's eyes pop and makes everyone's eyes look so much better. Everyone is doing white in the waterline to "open their eyes" and I seriously hate it. lol
Liner in the lower water line really makes a difference. The eyes do pop, it looks more clean cut, youthful, and makes you look more awake. Put in all that effort to get rid of dark circles then darken under your eye again? I don’t get it. We all have our preferred ways and have stuff that works better for us sure but some things just don’t make sense to me. You do you queens but I’ll do me.
Agreed 👏👏👏
LOL try 1982! :-)
Look at Tamera Mowry Housely Instagram. She line her top waterline and lower and girllllll it is gorgeous!!
I couldn’t make it stay in my lower waterline if my life depended on it lol. It’s a shame cause I love how it looks!
Don't mind the mirror there at all. Could barely see the liner on your lid...definitely not worth the money.
She didn't use the liner right. She was supposed to directly lay it on her waterline (horizontally and parallel), close her eyelids and then pull it through. That would have probably given a more intense payoff. However I don't know why this is a product for modern consumers since it's based off an ancient way of applying liner in India, which seems very outdated, uncomfortable to apply, and possibly irritating to the eyes. There are perfectly good liners out there that are much more comfortable to apply, so I feel like the only people who would want to buy this are those who want to play around with the traditional technique or something idk.
It's worth it to me! A liner that stays out in the waterline all day? Hell yes! She used it wrong, sure. But she can still use it correctly and IT STAYS PUT!
I bought that "eyeliner" about 10 years ago in Europe. The worst beauty product in the history of cosmetics and the biggest waste of money e v er . I would never have thought it's still in production. It's like dipping a toothpick in caster sugar, running it on your eyelids (fallout and all) and then calling it a great white powder eyeliner. Please.
Flavia Monti, I think it's trending now because of some videos that got popular recently showing this type of traditional eyeliner in India or other places. So now it's being hyped but it'll probably die out sooner than later. It's an ancient way of applying eyeliner so I'm sure it was considered an amazing novelty wayyyyyy back in the day when there were not many options, but I just don't see the appeal for modern application techniques and styles.
Little Zewski she likes the product. Simple as that. She never ever kisses a products ass
Lol this is literally surma/kajal/kohl (package says kohl too) that South asian/middle eastern (and other) people have been using for centuries so not sure what's so innovative about it. You can get these a lot cheaper (~$5-10) at any middle eastern or south asian stores; the packaging isn't as fancy but it's the same product.
Usually though it's meant as a waterline liner (if it's powder) not a lid one; the water in your eyes help it adhere better. It will probably have a lot of fall out so I tap off the excess in a bin and do it before any face makeup so that clean up is easier
Exactly! I’m Algerian (north Africa) and that’s what my people have used for millenniums... It’s definitely not meant to be used on the eyelid though... but you can get the most beautiful smoky eyeliner if you put a lot of it in the waterline and let it smudge between your lashes. AND if it’s real kohl, it’s actually antiseptic and will not harm your eyes. Don’t worry about it getting in your eyes
Just what I said... I am Iranian and there people had used it for centuries... Also better quality versions are absolutely black not as pale as this one... innovation????
Girl you have a Maserati? 😲😲👍🏻
And a Porsche and a Land Rover! She made it ;)
fluffy musus Dang! She deserves it too :)
of course!!!!!!
I suspect James has the Maserati, don’t forget he’s a successful entrepreneur in his own right 🙂 The sound of it accelerating, hooo boy! 😍
Lyns ح
I like how your makeup turned out I actually really liked how the eyeliner looks in your waterline
OMG no way!! This is straight up a rip off of Surma! Surma is a kind of “eyeliner” that was used by women in Pakistan and India years ago. My grandma and mom both had it. It’s a basically a pigment liner. You put the applicator in your eye on the water line and drag it outwards - quick and easy. Lots of south Asian people still use it today. Costs £1-£2 and is jet black :)
Kit Kat I JUST watched a whole video about Surma before this. I completely agree with you!!
I was thinking it looked familiar an that’s why, I was thinking about Surma
The loose powder the guerlain is giving for $41. India has the same product for ages. With the name of “surma”. With more cheap price than this. Tati please do try that. It give you very neat look and much more black than this
I love the liner in the water line! The completed look is awesome!
See Tati, I know a lot of people are saying it's not pigmented enough, but is it the law that it has to darkest black or grey for it to be a hit?! No. I think the liner looked lovely and if you're happy with it then that's great! I do believe in some cultures this is standard for what the use as liners and application for many years now , maybe even worth trying to get a hold of a different version, which I'm lead to believe is less expensive and maybe do a side by side?!b Either way great video, as always, thank you my lovely! xx
this is actually called surma or kajal it’s from middle eastern and south Asian countries its meant to be put in ur waterline and tight line you put it on by closing your eyes and running the stick in between your eyes
Sara Mallick 😘😘😘
you're supposed to insert the stick side was so it lays parallel to your water line then close your eyes and swipe it in between like sandwich.. I know it's hard to do but that's the intention for these kind of sticks kohl liners.. it's reminiscent of liners in the Middle East that were used a long time ago... ❤️
Natasha that's so crazy! How do you not get a bunch of powder all in your eyes if you close them with the stick inside and swipe?
Steph L no its super fine and did not bunch up. I put that every day in my eyes tho.
Steph L make sure the stick doesn't have excess product when you swipe it.. the water from your eyes will moisten the stick a bit to help it stick and not have any powders to fall into the eyes.. I don't know how to explain more, but it totally works.. I've been using this for a while and I love it.. I even got the one from loreal when they had it years ago..❤️
Natasha thank you for the explanation. I love the look of smokey khol eyes on Middle Eastern women. I think it is such a beautiful and timeless look. I would love to try.
Javeria Yousuf thank you! 🙏🏼
but omg your eyes look gorgeous with your waterline lined!
Your red lip color is so pretty on you. It’s almost like a poppy red. Can you do a video on finding the right red for you and on eye makeup for red lip - not glam but for everyday please ?
That's Kohl, as a Moroccan i grow up using it, and the way we apply it is very unique, if applied the right way it looks gorgeous.
Yes! My grandmothers had them, and they're pretty. Always love the antique container tho.
Siham Ten my mom had them she passed them down to me they no longer make them in my country idk of they still make it in Morocco
Joanne A they still do make them 😍
As an Afghan same thing but mine is even black than this and I love it 😁
Joanne A yeah they still have them
I honestly think it has such a great effect for when you don’t have lashes on, it gives you a thick illusion without it being jet black, although, let’s be real, you can get the same effect with a black eyeshadow.
Loving Loreal Pro-Glow. Full coverage but it doesn't feel heavy. Also Loving Eyelure lashes.
The water line looks good. I actually like that look!
Sorry Tati but if it wasn’t Guerlain I think you woul’ve said how grey this looks... And we know how much you love a deep black liner...
Miss Adventure it wasn’t only cuz it’s Guerlain 🙄 wow. It was her damn opinion
Victor Mendoza Yeah I know but she always says how much she likes a deep intense black liner and how much she hates every liner who's not... Its a bit contradictory...
Maybe that's the look she was going for? She's the type of makeup person if she had a bold lip she wants a neutral eye and vice versa
I thought the exact same thing, a few moments later I read this and i thought wow dats tru
Katlynn Jenner it’s not like she’s not used to have a bold lip colour and an intense black eyeliner at the same time...
Kohl costs around 1$ per 1 kilo! This is THE MOST OVERPRICED PRODUCT I've ever seen in my entire life!
Apollinariya Rakina Hahaha... that's for the brand, reformulating, repackaging, and rebranding... tho..
Right! And it's not even that pigmented.....😒
We call it celak/kajal in Indonesia. You can get it for a very cheap price here and it works just as good I think. You should try using it by putting the wand horizontally above your waterline and close your eyes slowly and move the wand from your inner eyes and go outward. You'll get more product on your eyes by doing that.
And as always, love watching your videos Tati!
I am LOVING the eye liner on your water line!!
Petition for Tati to always wear a red lip😍😍 nude looks lovely on her too but red just pops so well against her skin. Absolutely stunning ❤
Scarlett Biersack doesn’t it look good on her?
Red is James favorite on her too 😍😍
Compliments her complexion nicely
Cracks me up. She’s said a million times she doesn’t like wearing a red lip, but she sure wears a red lip a lot.
Also.. lowkey digging the sound of the car... lol

Please review Norvina! It's so beautiful and I know you love purples 💜💜💜
I have one of these liners in brown (they used to produce this in different colors) I bought it loooong time ago and never really get to use it. After this video I think I will go back and give it a shot. It basically uses the idea of ancient Arabic kohl, with the powder and wand. You can search for that and see how it used to be back then. Love your videos Tati. Thank you!
OMG I LOVE IT IN THE WATER LINE! It looks sooo good love you so much Tati xxx 😍😘
Hey lovely tati, this type of eyeliner actually we use it in the middle east.. It sort of our traditional "classic look" as our Arabian grandmothers used to use it, and actually we even use it for the new babies in there eyebrows to help them grow thicker 😂 it sold here in a vintage "gold" like tubes. You can read more about it lovely 💗💗💗 have a nice day
داليا العمري and it's also beneficial for the eyes as well. I'm not sure but i think it also helps strengthen the eye sight.
Ours i think it costed 1$ and it is way better than this 😂😂
Omg I remember seeing those as a child!
Yess, cheap for sure, packed in brass metal tube and more way lux on it
Used to receive this every time the elderly travelled back to Malaysia from Makkah! Love it so easy to apply...used in the waterline...sandwiched in between the lids and pull them out gently. Love it!
I like how I watch these videos and am like, "Well if it's worth the money. . ." but in reality I can barely afford e.l.f. products.
MyRandomLife I'm with u on that one
Same
MyRandomLife Story of my life😭😭😭
love the waterline eyeliner brings out your eye color
Your eyes actually look very exotic with waterline eyeliner!
For those annoyed and saying it's like surma or kajal, we obviously don't have that commonly here, so I would take the opportunity to let Tati know where she can get it online and have her try it! I know I hadn't really seen anything like it here in the USA in any store. But I know Tati would probably be interested in these products you're all talking about and it's a great chance to expose her, and by extension her fans, to something you have grown up with! 😊
Savanna The Aqua Llama agreed! Don't hate, educate! Haha
I don’t believe it’s recommended for the eyes, I know a lot of generations have used it almost like a “protection” against bacteria. They use it on babies as well, but I almost want to say it causes lead poisoning.
Taylor Becerra, well there's a ton of people saying it's existed forever for a buck in the middle East and they use it on their eyes, it's more pigmented,lasts forever, etc. And I think if so many people came to the comments just to point it out or get agitated about it, perhaps instead they should educate, provide links for Tati to get it and allow her the opportunity to try it instead of getting persnickety about it. There are some just saying, "Hey, this reminds me of..." But some are, no joke, seemingly angry about it.
I'd rather be educated about something similar than be yelled at about it 😕
Its great that tati tries all these new products for us but guerlain selling it for 41$ when in india you can get this for like 2$
I agree 100% I'm Middle Eastern, from Iran and I think it's not nice to have a go at Tati! That's why I suggested the video but I would rather get it from Guerlain than anywhere else because of depending on what they have used to make it!!!!???? To do have to be careful. Well I'm not agited at all!
i loved it on your waterline without the shadows ! it looks pretty! lovely colour too ! I'm pretty sure its just overpriced surmah / kajal though . Widely used in middle east and south asian communities ! As usual western companies taking traditional products , changing the name and making money off of it . You can find it for much cheaper Tati ! Its mostly used to apply in waterline and to tight line. Believed to give protection to the eyes and also used for beauty purposes !
Sayuri Mariae it is! I’m pretty sure most people know that, they aren’t the first company to market it here in the US, and usually they just say kohl powder 🤷🏻♀️ definitely don’t need to spend that much but I would try it lol
Sayuri Mariae Couldn’t have said it better 👍🏼
TATI PLEASE TRY ONE OF THE “MICROBLADING” EYEBROW PENCILS!!
Those lashes are actually magical 😱😍
Am I the only one who thinks this is a patchy and blotchy mess? For $41, an eyeliner needs to give me a perfect, jet black wing in 2 seconds.
Abbs its kohl, you basically close your eyes ant rub it on the waterline
Agreed
Can we just take a second to admire how fast Tati just threw on those lashes? Takes me a solid 3 years and a sacrifice to Satan to get lashes on
kiarra honestly the sacrifice to satan doesn't even always help me 😂
I have been desperately trying to find this product SINCE this video! And I have finally found it! (Although this has apparently now been discontinued) So excited!!
Holly Clarkson-Clowes apparently it’s cheap in like india or something
Looks great in the waterline and love the lashes!
Is anyone going to address the lack of pigment in this eyeliner??
Saliha Khan yeeeees I was thinking the same,totally NOT worth my hard earn coin 👎🏻🙅🏻♀️
She didn't apply it correctly so this experiment wasn't sufficient to tell what it really looks like. She's supposed to stick it on her waterline, close her eyelids, and then pull it through (which sounds super terrifying to me btw, but that's the correct way to apply it).
mi☆haru and that way it works perfectly. I had this product years ago and it was amazing. Super black super long lasting waterline with no effort. I don't use black liner anymore, so I don't know if it's the same formula nowadays or what.
mi☆haru still super expensive lol I buy it for like a buck where I live
So the eyeliner is great and all but can we talk about the fact that Tati and James are driving a Maserati! I’m personally a car person and I was so distracted by the sound of the car that I had to go back and listen to what you said again!😂 seriously though... you need to do a car tour because I’m curious what the outside of it looks like!
Seriously! Let us live vicariously through your glamorous life.
Yeah car enthusiasts are generally unimpressed by Maseratis lol. They're expensive and impress the general public, but quality-wise aren't worth the price. I sat in one at a car show and was actually pretty surprised by how cheap all of the plastic bits in the console felt. Exhaust did sound nice though! Just not worth the price tag
Really? We're going to hate on the car because it's not your favorite kind of expensive car? C'mon, now. It's pretty. They like it. There's no need for shade.
MotorCity Vicki not hating at all, just stating the general consensus. Never said I didn't like how Maseratis look. The closest I got to "hating" would probably be the statement about the time I sat in one and was surprised by how cheap the interior seemed up close, but honestly the reason I was so surprised was precisely because I had heard so much about them and I knew they were so expensive.... The exterior looked great but then I got in and it was just so underwhelming. Personal opinion though, obviously. But... It is an opinion that is shared by a lot of people lol
Meh to each their own but it’s still a nice car no matter. It’s like everyone bashing on the lotus elise but they are still visually striking vehicles.
I love Rimmel's waterproof kohl liner for my waterline. It didn't make my allergy eyes red and it stayed all day even with a nap.
U taught me to think that not all pricey makeup items will work ❤️ u
OPW- Over Priced Wednesday
brody helton How bout OPS? Over Priced Saturday or Sunday?
SUHAILA Shola because she posts these type videos on Wednesdays
*_Patiently waits for Maybelline Fit Me loose powders to arrive to her country while Tati tests 41$ powder_*
Vibha B same
Vibha B so true yaar.....beauty products reach india so late.....
They never reach Venezuela T.T
Still waiting in Mexico. :(
Same girl. We just got the whole maybelline superstay matte inks.
I used the L’Oréal powder liner for years that came out about 10 years ago when I was still in corporate America. Best ever.
Lately i have been just chilling at home, but im always wearing my essence clear lipgloss. Its amazing for the price!
*CONSPIRACY THEORY*
Tati didn't include what she put on her lips on purpose because that is the next thing in her brand and she's giving us a teaser of it!!!
Or she could've just forgotten to put it in the description box and I've watched too much Shane Dawson videos...
S Queen maybe the latter
It’s the Coca Cola collection
Κατιαννα Ιατρου yeah probably 😅
Sarah Hunt can't blame a girl for dreaming 🤷🏻♀️
I love everything about this comment.
But thats grey.
Jean From BeautyShopPH Looks like she dipped it in fire place ashes
That’s what charcoal is; it’s more grey versus black, which is more pigmented
Jen Klen she said the packaging said the shade is called noir, which is black...
I think that just doing the upper eyelid and nothing at all on the lower lash/waterline often makes you look fresh and even a little bit younger maybe! I love to do it too, it looks so clean!
It doesn't bother me at all seeing a mirror as long as you show us what happens after. Love you Tati you look sooo STUNNING 💕💕💕💕
