There are different shades of black? Yes, perhaps men can’t tell but these are all different shades of black kohl, not all are the same! There are deep blacks to soft blacks.  Finding the perfect black kohl is essential and every girl is looking for the deepest black with the longest wearing. 

I put together all the black Kohl I had which were a mix of international brands, local Arab brands and from Pakistan.  Have a look at what I found.
