Sick of constantly reapplying your kajal just to keep your look fresh? Check out these easy tips to help your kajal last longer and stay smudge-proof. Say goodbye to those raccoon eyes! We’ve got some great advice from Ayesha Sanghi, a beauty content creator, to help you nail that flawless look all day (or night).
Ayesha says, “Raccoon eyes aren’t just about dark circles! It’s that moment when you catch a glimpse of yourself and realize your kajal has run down your waterline, leaving you with those annoying black rings under your eyes. Here are some tips to keep your kajal in check all day long!”
6 Chill Tips for Long-Lasting, Smudge-Proof Kajal
- Pick the Right Kajal
“Start with a waterproof and long-lasting kajal. If it can’t hold up, it’s not worth it. Gel formulas are great, even if you have watery eyes,” Ayesha suggests. - Nail the Application
Ayesha explains, “How you apply it matters! Don’t go overboard—focus on the inner part of your waterline. If you load up the outer edge near your lash line, it’s gonna leak.” - Set It with Eyeshadow
Want your kajal to pop? Ayesha recommends, “Set it with a bit of black eyeshadow. Just use a small brush to pat some on top of the kajal along your waterline for extra staying power.” - Set Your Undereyes
“A lot of smudging happens because of oily skin under your eyes. Use some setting powder or loose powder to keep that area in check—just pat or dust it on,” says Ayesha. - Be Ready for Touch-Ups
“Even the best kajal needs a little love after a few hours. If you can, grab a double-sided Q-tip—load one side with powder to fix any smudges and use the clean side to touch up,” Ayesha suggests. - Hands Off!
“And finally, don’t touch your eyes! We’ve all seen those funny memes of someone rubbing their eyes and realizing too late they have makeup on. Touching will definitely mess up your kajal and can introduce bacteria too!” Ayesha wraps up.
