News India Live, Digital Desk: Maintaining the beauty of eyes amidst the scorching sun and sweat is no less than a challenge. Kajal enhances the shine of the eyes, but as soon as you sweat, it spreads and spoils the entire look. Many times this problem persists even after using expensive brands. In fact, only the ‘right way’ of applying kajal can make it last longer.1. Cleanliness of eyes is the first condition. Before applying kajal, wash the face thoroughly and especially the area around the eyes. If your skin is oily, wrap an ice cube in a muslin cloth and rub it around the eyes. This will close the pores and reduce sweating, which will give better grip to the kajal.2. The magic of eye primer: To keep kajal lasting for a long time, use of eye primer is very important. Before applying kajal, apply a little primer on the eyelids and under the eyes. It creates a barrier between the skin and makeup, preventing sweat and oil from smudging your kajal.3. ‘Lock’ with setting powder. After applying kajal, apply a little setting powder or loose powder just below and at the corners of the eyes. It absorbs excess oil and sets the kajal in place. By applying powder, the possibility of kajal spreading below the waterline is almost eliminated.4. Always choose waterproof kajal, not local kajal. Cheap or local kajal has high amount of wax and oil, which starts melting as soon as it gets heat. Always choose good quality waterproof and smudge-proof kajal. If your eyes are very sensitive, then using gel kajal can also be a good option.5. Use of blotting paper: If you feel that oil is accumulating around the eyes, then use blotting paper instead of rubbing. Dab it lightly under the eyes. This will absorb all the extra oil without spoiling the makeup, keeping your kajal fresh. Pro Tip: After applying the kajal, lightly apply matching eyeshadow of the same color over the kajal with the help of a thin brush. This ‘double coating’ protects the kajal from sweat and also gives it a deep black color.
