KAJAL

If there's one beauty product Indian girls can't live without, it's undoubtedly kajal. It can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians who used to line their eyes to protect them against the harsh rays of the sun, and also for ceremonial purposes. In fact, kohl is actually derived from the Arabic word kuhl.

Highlight your waterline.

If you switch between a liquid liner and a kajal to get the perfect flick, you ought to know a kajal pencil will also do the trick. A hack to try is to put your pencil over an open flame for a few seconds to create a gel eyeliner which you can use to make the perfect feline flick..

Kajal dosen't mean black.

If you thought kajal is only black, you're wrong. Brown kajal is actually a great alternative as it's less harsh looking. If you have small eyes, try swapping the black for brown like Plum NaturStudio All-Day-Wear Kohl stick in Upturn Brown which will help open up your eyes. If you love colour but are not a fan of eyeshadow, try opting for jewel tones like emeralds and sapphire blues

Not sharpening your pencil.

How often have you applied your kajal with a dull tip? If you can't be bothered with a sharpener, the beauty shelves are filled with twist-up self sharpening pencils like Lakme's Eyeconic Kajal that does the work for you. Just remember that a super sharp tip will hurt you, so gently soften the tip against tissue or at the back of your hand first.
