Everyone loves dark kajal eyes. We mean, there are odes after odes based on the most gorgeous black kajal eyes that have caught the fantasy of poets and writers. An eyeshadow stick or the eye stick that creates a simple shadow look or smokey eye look, kajals have been handy for absolutely anything. Much before the advent of its more evolved cousins such as the eyeliner and its various formats, the best kajal for eyes was an innocent kohl or even surma as it was called in the old times. Centuries ago, when it started its reign in Egypt no one thought it would become a staple. After all, it was just a smear of darkness across the eyes that could enhance the appearance of a woman. Yes, it cooled the eyes and improved the vision, but better medical science could do that. What could a simple eye stick or kajal in eyes contribute to that? As we came to know, much more.
Kajal evolved and how. Black kajal eyes became an everyday affair, whether at home or at office or to pull off any look whatsoever. Whether it was an office look or dating look or even a sweaty outdoor touring look or adventure look or that sexy party look, long lasting kajal for eyes was becoming a mandate and a trend. Even if someone had absolutely no makeup on, a dash of kajal and lo and behold, a mysterious look was ready in a jiffy. Tightlining or just simple plain old lining, all you needed was a kajal for eyes. Kajal eyes may have been an old trend, but it was here to stay and nowhere to go.
And so, it evolved. From a mere pot of black substance, kajal grew out to be in the format of retractable pencils, sharpenable pencils, gel format and a lot more. The evolution was not limited to just that. It was also ideological. No longer were dark kajal eyes limited to just girls or even a woman. It was now becoming a gender neutral concept, for the front profile of everyone who wanted it to enhance their appearance or transform features of face. Kajals were going all out and universal, not just making eyes of a woman shine, but that of everyone else. The eyes could tell a lot more, say even better and communicate, with these dark lines etched around them.
For many, kajal was now no longer just a coloured cosmetic applied to the eyelids or to the skin around the eyes to accentuate them. It was a lot more, something that was a part of the expression shown on the face, more than just an eye stick to emphasize face features such as the eyes. People were flocking over stores, online and offline, with or without an online sale or a good offer available. And so, kajal and kajal in eyes became a staple, with or without all the shopping offers on makeup and shopping offers on eye beauty products.
But there was one more thing where the evolution was needed. In the quest to make kajals darker and even better than the other brands available, loads of chemicals and preservatives were used. From Carbon black to parabens, all of them resulted in short term allergies to long term issues like cancer and toxicity. This was not good. Thus the evolution was needed in cleansing the chemical palette, creating clean and toxicity product that were also vegan and cruelty free. All of this, without affecting the pigmentation and longevity so you could still have your best dark kajal for eyes. Makeup brands started taking note and hence came the reign of clean makeup and beauty brands.
