Kajal is a traditional eye cosmetic that has been used for centuries in various cultures and regions. Kajal is also known as kohl, surma, or anjana, and it is usually applied on the lower and upper eyelids to create a dark and smoky look.
Kajal has several benefits for the eyes, besides enhancing their beauty. According to some sources, kajal can moisturize, protect, freshen, soothe, and improve the vision of the eyes. However, not all kajals are equally beneficial for the eyes. Some kajals may contain harmful chemicals or metals that can cause irritation, allergy, or damage to the eyes. Therefore, it is advisable to use organic or natural kajals that are made with safe and nourishing ingredients such as almond oil, castor oil, camphor, ghee, rose water, etc
There are different ways to apply kajal on the eyes, depending on the type of kajal you have and the look you want to achieve. You can use a pencil, a pot, a gel, or a liquid kajal to create various styles and effects. You can also use different colors of kajal to add some contrast or drama to your eyes.
One of the factors that can influence how you apply kajal is the size of your eyes. If you have big eyes or small eyes, you may want to use different techniques and tips to make your eyes look more balanced and attractive. Here are some suggestions on how to apply kajal for big eyes and small eyes:
