Kajal, also known as kohl or eyeliner, is a staple in every makeup enthusiast’s cosmetic kit. This versatile beauty product can enhance your eyes and make them stand out. Here are four different ways to apply kajal in order to achieve gorgeous, well-defined eyes.
1. The Classic Method:
The classic way of applying kajal can be adapted for both day and night looks. Follow these steps to achieve a subtle and beautiful enhancement to your eyes:
a. Begin by sharpening your kajal pencil or readying your kajal pot with an angled brush.
b. Steady your hand on a flat surface or use your pinky finger for support.
c. Gently lift your upper eyelid with one hand while using the other to apply the kajal along the lash line.
d. Start from the inner corner of the eye and move outwards, following the shape of your eye.
e. Lightly smudge the lower lash line with a cotton swab for a soft, natural finish.
2. The Smokey Eye:
The smokey eye is perfect for a dramatic night-out look and can be easily achieved with kajal.
a. Apply kajal to both the upper and lower lash lines.
b. Use a smudging brush or cotton swab to blend the kajal upwards and outwards towards the crease, creating a gradient effect.
c. To add depth, apply eyeshadow in a darker shade towards the outer corners of your eyes and blend it in.
3. The Tightline Technique:
This method focuses on enhancing your lashes by applying kajal directly onto the waterline.
a. Gently lift your upper eyelid and use a waterproof kajal pencil or gel formula on the upper waterline.
b. Apply light pressure to ensure you don’t poke your eye, and glide the pencil from the inner corner to the outer corner.
c. Repeat for the lower waterline if desired. This will create an illusion of fuller lashes without adding too much drama.
4. The Cat Eye:
The cat-eye creates a sleek and sophisticated look that elongates your eyes.
a. Apply kajal on the upper lash line, starting from the inner corner and gradually thickening the line as you move towards the outer corner.
b. Extend the line at a slight upward angle to create a winged look.
c. If needed, you can use a piece of tape to guide your application and achieve a sharp, clean edge.
Experiment with these different kajal application techniques to find one that suits your personal style best. Remember, practice makes perfect – so don’t be afraid to master these looks until you’re happy with the results!
