Whether it’s day time or night, girls always keep a kajal handy in their purse for makeup touch-ups and what not. A kajal makes your eyes look brighter, bigger and edgy. But, there is always a chance of it getting smudged, smeared and, it ends up looking like you forgot to remove your makeup last night.

You surely don’t need this in your life. Right? For that very reason, we have rounded up a few tips that will help your kajal from smudging. Not only are these tips helpful but, also play a great role while applying kajal. Let’s check them out.

1. Keep your under-eye area clean.

This tip of hack is pretty obvious. Make sure you clean your face properly and keep your under eye area clean and smooth before you go in with a hand of kajal. People who have dry skin can clean their face with a face wash and that’s it. But if you are someone with oily skin then rub an ice cube around your eyes before applying kajal to prevent greasiness.

2. Skip inner corner

You might have noticed that the inner corner of your eyes is the area where the kajal usually smudges a lot. So, for now, skip that area and start lining from the outer corners. Now slowly and gradually come to the inner sides and voila. This tip will help your kajal last longer than it does usually. Keep the corners light and darken the centre of your eyelids for a focused look.

3. Use pencil brush

This hack will make you think twice but use a pencil brush or a flat brush to apply eye shadow above your kajal. It prevents intense smudging and smearing. Make sure that the color of your eye shadow is close to the color of your kajal. With a flat brush apply black eye shadow below your water line. Guess what this tip will keep your kajal in place.

4. Loose powder or baby powder

Keep oiliness at bay with these two. You can use loose powder or baby powder around your eyes and kick off that oiliness. On a hot and sweaty day, dab some powder around your eyes and near the inner and outer corners.

5. Precautions are a must.

If you are someone who despite all the tips still manages to smudge their eyes then this tip is for you. We are referring to the ones who just cannot stop rubbing their eyes no matter what. Make sure you carry wet wipes or cotton buds in your purse for safety. These will help you in times when your kajal smudges badly and you don’t know what to do.

Apart from all the best tips mentioned above, make sure to use a quality approved kajal for your eyes. Go for the one which is apt for sensitive eyes as it won’t harm you at any cost. The ones from Maybelline, Plum or even Nykaa are good. Try them and let us know which one worked for you
