After all, dark kajal eyes have been in vogue for a long time now and while the textures and components have improved over time, that has taken a lot of efforts and movements. Let’s quickly take a look at all that eyes makeup has gone through to evolve so much that now use of eyeshadow stick on different occasions is considered quite normal, and that of eye stick like kajal and eyeliner as well.
Kajal in eyes finds its roots years and even centuries ago, in the Egyptian lores and in the times of the eternal beauty Cleopatra, who was as fiery in actions as in the way she looked. Kohl in eyes was not just a cosmetic product but also something that was used to enhance the vision and improve the skin around the eyes. In fact, black kajal eyes were known more for the benefits than for the makeup effects they induced, all those times ago. The curations of such kajals was kept in pots and was mainly created using natural ingredients like camphor to soothe the eyes and to improve vision by driving away radicals and other external harm. With time, however, as girls and women started liking the hue of the kohl more and more, the benefits took a backseat and the colour started taking prominence.
Popular makeup brands started to focus on better pigmentation and how that could be transformed into a long lasting kajal for eyes. They were creating eye stick that was much like a black crayon, albeit skin-friendly. But to counter the price tag, what was going into these eye sticks was not very friendly for the eyes. Ingredients such as Carbon Black and Parabens slowly started showing its true colours, pun intended. There were complains of allergies and even cancer in more serious cases. These ingredients and preservatives needed to be replaced. Further, when the cleansing of eyes makeup started in this aspect, makeup brands paused and thought, why not create clean eye beauty products by including natural ingredients in the equation and also getting rid of cruelty practices that were rampant in the industry. Thus 100% vegan and natural and cruelty free makeup came into being.
The biggest challenge, however, was to ensure that the gentlest of ingredients do not affect the pigmentation and longevity of the product. Kajal in eyes was originally formulated to make the eyes of a woman shine. If the colour lost its luster, it would lose its meaning. But, there was another ideological change happening. All across the world, kajal was now gaining a gender neutral meaning, along with other makeup products. Now, kajal was not just for a woman or girls. It was or the front profile of anyone and everyone who wished to enhance their appearance and the expression shown on the face with the help of right and inclusive makeup products.
And so, the advent of completely clean makeup products began. These were vegan, cruelty free, natural and devoid of toxic ingredients. At the same time these were inclusive in ideology, trying to bring about a change in the way the society perceives makeup, that it is no longer just for women. All of this, while bringing technology and science together to engineer natural best dark kajal for eyes that is super pigmented and long lasting, waterproof and smudgeproof as well. The brands were onto a path of creating a magical eye stick, and were getting successful at it as well.
In this blog, we are going to tell you about these kajals, and also the tips and tricks on how to create the best dark kajal eyes look.
Tips to create the best dark kajal eyes look
Before we tell you about the best long lasting kajal for eyes, let’s take a look at some of the tips and tricks that you should know and use while creating various kajal in eyes looks. This is for an enhanced appearance to your features of face. After all, black kajal eyes or dark kajal eyes can enchant anyone, if done right. You just need to remember a couple of points.
-
Tip 1: Cleanse
- When we talk about cleansing, we don’t mean that you use just about any cleanser to clean your eyes. It would strip off the oils and would also damage the delicate area and skin around the eyes. What we mean is you can probably use gentle eye cleansing wipes or makeup remover and oils to ensure the area around that is clean, before you apply kajal or any eyes makeup product. It would help the kajal in eyes stay on longer and it would also keep your eyes in the best of health. It would also help the natural ingredients in your kajal to work and benefit better.
-
Tip 2: Conceal
- Have pigmented or dark eyelids and not sure that a coloured kajal would pop up as well? In that case, use a concealer and dab it on your eyelids and around your eyes. Make sure you blend it well. Then, apply a natural shade of eyeshadow, beige or bronze depending on your choice and skin colour. Apply a thin layer of eyeliner on the lashlines and on the waterline for a complete and defined kajal in eyes look.
-
Tip 3: Inner corners
- How can you make your eyes pop up when you have applied on face the perfect kajal? We will tell you. Leave the inner corners. Or apply the kajal and leave a few millimeters towards the inner corners of the eyes. This would prevent any kind lof accumulation and smudging in the corners. Use a highlighter or white eye pencil to then perk up the inner corners for a black kajal eyes look that would totally make you the showstopper of the day.
-
Tip 4: One-product smokey eye
- This is totally possible and you can achieve it with the help of the right eye pencil or eye stick. Pick a good kajal or eyeliner (not the gel or pen one) and apply a thick line across your eyelids. Make sure you apply a primer and top it up with a concealer so that the product does not budge beyond what you want it to. Smudge it up using the right and firm eye brush or just your fingertips. Create a thin line on the lower lashline as well and smudge. Now take the same kajal and create a thin line both across the upper and the lower lashline. Tightline and finish off with a mascara. You are done.
-
Tip 5: Powder
- If you have oily eyelids and that is what is ruining the entire experience of creating black kajal eyes, in that case, you first should put a thin layer of concealer and then top it up with a thin layer of compact. Set it and blend it to avoid any streaks or melting of makeup. Then start applying your kajal and eyeliner. It will stay on for a much longer time.
