How To Avoid Kajal From Smudging

Keeping kajal from smudging can be a real struggle! Here are some tips to help your kajal stay put:

  1. Use a Good Quality Kajal — Waterproof or long-lasting kajal sticks tend to smudge less.
  2. Prep Your Eyes — Make sure your eyelids and waterline are clean and dry before applying.
  3. Set with Powder — After applying kajal, lightly dust translucent powder over it or use a matching eyeshadow on top to lock it in place.
  4. Apply in Layers — Apply kajal in thin layers and let each layer dry before applying the next.
  5. Use a Setting Spray — A makeup setting spray can help keep everything in place.
  6. Avoid Rubbing Your Eyes — This one’s obvious but often forgotten!
  7. Try Gel or Liquid Eyeliners — Sometimes they smudge less than pencil kajal.
