Koji Dolly Wink liquid eyeliner VS. K-Palette 1-day Tattoo Eyeliner

Both are extremely raved over in the makeup community, but which one's better?











Disclaimer: I purchased everything myself!
 Both are water resistant, brush type, dark black liquid eyeliners. In fact, they are extremely similar in appearance and size. (Oh yes, my K-palette eyeliner was limited edition, which explains why it's pink.)
The price is similar too. The K-palette on Amazon is $15.45 while the Dolly Wink is $14.64.

For both, you need to shake before usage. They are more easily removed when using an oil-based makeup remover. The Neutrogena or Lancome Bi-facils makeup remover work fine.

However! On  my oily asian lids and watery eyes they have different lasting times.


Left: Color Tattoo
Right: Dolly Wink
The K-Palette eyeliner seems to last longer on my lids, over primer potion. It stays on all school-day. With only a little bit of smudge on my lower eye area.

The Dolly Wink does not last as long on my lids, and it also is partially gone when I come back home from school.

 The Dolly Wink, however, has a slightly finer tip, which makes it easier to draw thin lines. The tip is also more flexible, making it easier to wing out the liner. It also is more resistant to rubbing. (So if you accidentally rub your eyes a lot, this one may suit you better)


After Rubbing... About the same
Dolly Wink slightly better


Personally, I like to use the K-Palette eyeliner more, but if your eyelids are not as oily, and if you are prone to smudging your eye makeup, I'd suggest the Dolly Wink. (IMHO, it looks cuter too).

If only I could get the K-Palette lasting quality with the Dolly Wink brush.. *sigh*

Heavier swatch... Pretty Identical in terms of Blackness
I hope that was helpful, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!! :D
