Price: KIKO costs 6,90€ and you can buy it either in stores in Italy, Spain or in some other European countries. If you live in Belgium, you can order it online at kikocosmetics.be. Bourjois costs 12,90€ in French Sephora but you can buy it in any drugstore probably for cheaper.
Colour: I bought both eyeliners in colour black; they were both well pigmented although I feel like Bourjois was slightly darker.
Bourjois Liner Feutre Very Long lasting eyeliner |
Longevity: they both claim to be long-lasting and they both lasted on me for the whole day so no problem with that. What concerns the longevity of one pen; Bourjois had far more “juice” and lasted more than 2 weeks longer than the KIKO eyeliner. KIKO eyeliner didn’t “deal” well with the eyeshadows underneath while applying it and was skipping the line many times. I ended up using it only for the wing part.
Applicators (felt tip): KIKO has very thin felt tip applicator almost as thin as liquid eyeliners do so it was little bit hard to apply it on the lid and create thick line but it was far better at applying the wing. Bourjois has thick felt tip and it was easier to make a thick 60’s kind of eyeliner that I usually wear. Unfortunately the felt tip broke after 2 weeks and I could not do a precise line. I tried to cut the broken part but could not use it anymore to draw a wing only to draw the line on the lid.

Final verdict: KIKO eyeliner was skipping the line and Bourjois eyeliner’s tip broke. At the end I had to use both of them at the same time to get the proper eyeliner look (Bourjois for the lid and KIKO for the wing). I think both eyeliners are quite a fail and I’m not going to repurchase any of them. I recently bought Yver Rocher and ARTDECO eyeliners so I will try them and definitely report back. I’m also planning to buy Maybelline and L’Oreal pen eyeliners as I’m determined to find a good drugstore replacement for that Revlon one.
