How To Apply Kajal: A Beginner’s Guide to Defining Your Eyes

 


Kajal or a kohl pencil is an important part of your makeup routine and can enhance your eyes, making them look dramatic and enticing. If you find applying kajal tricky, then below is a step-by-step guide to teach you how to apply kajal. 

Perhaps the most challenging aspect of your entire makeup regimen is applying an eye kajal pencil. Kajal if applied properly can make your eyes pop, however, if not applied well can smear your eyeliner, eyeshadow, or even concealer under your eyes. If you aren’t sure how to apply kajal in the right way, then here are some pointers to keep in mind. 

 

Applying Kajal, Step By Step To Your Upper Lash Line 

When applying a kajal pencil to your upper lash line first pick the proper shade depending on your style. Brown eyeliner offers a neutral impression while black eyeliner gives off a more dramatic look. You can even choose a colored pencil for a statement and fun style. Keep in mind that a pencil eyeliner will not last as long as other types of liners and if you want to extend its lifespan you need to first use an eye primer.  

 

You can then gently pull your eyelids together and apply the liner as close to the lash line as you can while working your way from the middle of the eyelids to the outer corners. Make sure to blend well for smooth lines and use the tip of your kohl kajal for a thinner line.  

 

How to line your lower lash line  

After creating a clean top lash line, you can either leave the lower lash line alone or move down to create a more dramatic effect. Typically, eyeshadow and white kajal should first be applied to the top lash line followed by a pencil liner on the lower lash line. Make sure that the lower lashes are free of fallout and make sure you start with a clean base.  

 

In the same manner, using a waterproof kajal gradually apply the liner from the center of the lower lashes to the outside. Return to the inner corner of the eye and draw a line from there towards the center to form a smooth line. 

 

How To Line Your Waterline 

There is no better liner than a waterproof eye pencil if you want to waterline your eyes. If you have small or hidden eyelids, applying eye makeup simply along your waterline can free up more area on your eyelids and offer a more defined effect. Once you find your waterline, place the kajal pencil waterproof on it and angle it so that it doesn’t penetrate your eyes. Fill in all the gaps by gently sweeping the lash line from the outside to the inner corner of the eye. Repeat this process and tighten the line around the top waterline for more clarity.  

 

The Takeaway 

When it comes to kajal always, look for brands that have a high-pigmented formula, are rich, intense, and stay put for 16 hours or more. Make sure to pick an ultra-creamy and sweatproof formula that can take you from day to night and even comes in a range of shades whether you’re looking for a subtle everyday look or a bold, dramatic gaze.
