When it comes to eye makeup, nothing beats the timeless and sultry look of smokey eyes. And if you want to add an extra oomph to this already glamorous look, then kajal is your go-to makeup item. Here’s how you can master the art of smokey eyes with kajal:
Step 1: Prep Your Eyes
Before you start applying any makeup, make sure your eyes are clean and moisturized. Apply a primer to your eyelids to ensure your eyeshadow stays in place. You can also dust some loose powder under your eyes to catch any fallout from your kajal.
Step 2: Apply Kajal on Your Waterline
Start by applying kajal on your waterline. Make sure you apply it as close to your lash line as possible. You can also tightline your upper lash line with kajal for a more intense look.
Step 3: Smudge the Kajal
Using a smudging brush or your fingers, smudge the kajal on your waterline. This will create a soft blended effect that enhances the smokey effect.
Step 4: Apply Eyeshadow
Choose a dark eyeshadow color, such as black, charcoal, or dark brown, and apply it to your eyelids. Use a blending brush to create a gradation effect that starts from your lash line and fades upwards. Blend the eyeshadow on your crease as well, to create depth.
Step 5: Add More Kajal
Apply more kajal on your waterline and tightline, to intensify the look. Use the same smudging brush or your fingers to blend it with the eyeshadow.
Step 6: Finish with Mascara
Finally, complete the look with a volumizing mascara. Apply two to three coats of mascara, focusing on your outer lashes to create a cat-eye effect.
And there you have it, a stunning and timeless smokey eye look with kajal. Remember to keep the rest of your makeup minimal to let your eyes take center stage.
