You cannot deny that a dark neatly applied kajal, or kohl, alone can make you look stunning. But more often than not, kajal keeps smudging at the inner corner of the eyes, making you look more scary than gorgeous. These tips can come in handy to keep your kohl from spreading.
1. The first thing you should do is to keep your undereye area dry and clean. This will ensure that your oil glands do not secrete too much oil. So make sure that you wash your eyes and pat it dry with a towel before you apply the kajal.
2. Also, before applying the kajal, dab some powder near your eyelids and both corners of your eyes. The powder will absorb the moisture in those areas and prevent the kajal from smudging. Once you are done applying the kajal, gently brush off the powder you had used earlier.
