Kajal eyes, kajal in eyes, dark kajal eyes, black kajal eyes – innumerable names have the same emotions, to create intense eye look with the help of one magical product, kajal. The product which once started off as a caring eye beauty product, to enhance vision slowly transitioned into an eyes makeup product that was to enhance the appearance of the eyes and features of face, overall. Makeup brands started veering towards creating pigmented, dense and dark dark kajal for eyes, but not exactly the best kajal for eyes, one that is dark and long lasting, but also caring, because our eyes are one of the most sensitive areas of the body. One lost ingredient and one wrong component, and it may impair our vision, in the worst-case scenario. And that is exactly what was happening.
When the brands started going all colour and no care with kajal and other eye stick like eyeliner and an eyeshadow stick or a palette, numerous issues started to emerge. Preservatives and components such as Carbon Black and Parabens were being used and when used regularly, there were visible side effects, from rashes and allergies to even more serious ones like cancer and organ toxicity. This was not what the consumers had signed up for when they picked up a long lasting kajal for eyes, for their own features of face. All they wanted was a coloured cosmetic applied to the eyelids or to the skin around the eyes to accentuate them, one that could make the eyes of a woman shine. But are kajal eyes just for the front profile of a woman or girls? That is where the ideological gap was and slowly, with a change in the mindset, as people were starting to understand that makeup is not just for women, it is a gender-neutral concept. A kajal can be used by anyone who wants it to be a part of the expression shown on the face, a part of who they are, defining their personality.
Makeup brands had to create clean products that are free of toxicity — in thoughts, ethics, action and application. This meant removing toxic ingredients and investing to replace those with natural preservatives. On the other hand, extensive promotions and campaigns for sustainable practices and ethical sourcing of those ingredients, and also pushing a healthy worldview of makeup beyond sexuality and gender norms. Clean beauty and makeup, clean from all aspects and perspectives.
Obviously, kajals were one of the first to get clean and corrected. Eyes are sensitive and needed gentle care along with strong colour that is extracted from the best and most sustainable practices and plants, rather than chemicals that would harm them. Considering this as the motto, clean brands started off to create long lasting kajal for eyes and best kajal for eyes that would tick all the boxes and give the best dark kajal eyes look, when applied on face. This was to light up the features of face from all aspects, from the conscience and on the surface, and a normal kajal eye stick would not do that.
Keeping this in mind, we are here with a checklist in the form of this blog, where we tell you how to apply kajal in eyes perfectly, and which are the clean and dark kajals that would give you gorgeous lined eyes whenever and wherever you want, whether it is for an office look and dating look or for an adventure look and outdoor touring look, or even a party look.
