In India, kajal is an emotion more than a cosmetic product; Indian women have used it for generations. Kajal or kohl can help lift your eyes but smudged kajal can make you look like a panda (minus the cuteness). One of the reasons people skip kajal these days, especially people with dark circles, is because it smudges and wears off real fast. The patch left behind is again challenging to remove. 
If you are also avoiding kajal because of the reasons mentioned above, this article is here to destroy your fears. Make your kajal last all day long with these tips. Continue reading to avoid smudging of kajal altogether. 
Start With a Face Prep
If you want to apply kajal, the first thing you need to do is clean and prep your face. Cleansing the face first will help remove the dirt and oil present on your skin. If you have oily lids, rub some ice over them before applying eye kajal makeup. Unwanted particles deposited on your face can cause smudging and wear off your makeup faster. 
Move In the Right Direction
Applying kohl kajal ...
...  is an art that needs to be mastered. If you apply kajal from inner corners to outer corners, you’re doing it wrong. The inner corners of your eyes are wet, which makes your pencil wet. Avoid that by starting from the outer corner. Apply 2-3 strokes until you’re satisfied.
Hack Your Way with Eyeshadow!
If you want your kajal to last longer, pull out your eyeshadow palette from your eye makeup kit. Take a shade like your eye kajal and apply with a flat brush on the inner lids (after applying kajal, of course). Eyeshadow will stop kajal from coming off and last longer.
Oily Skin Hacks!
If you have excessively oily skin, armour up your face with a foundation or compact powder. Compact powder is known to hold your makeup together. Take a small amount of foundation or compact powder and dab it on your eyelids, on the lower part of the eyes, and around the eyes.
Give White Kajal A Go
If you’re on social media, you know the buzz white kohl kajal has created. Adding a dash of white kajal on the inner corners of your eyes can make them look more appealing, help control the water (on the inner corner) and keep your eye kajal makeup in place.
Mix Gel Eyeliner with Kajal
If you cannot apply kajal properly or the water ruins your kajal, mix a gel eyeliner with kajal. An angled brush can help you achieve the desired look and help with smudging issues. If these past few hacks don't help control the water present in the inner corners of your eyes, consider avoiding applying kajal on the inner corner altogether. It looks trendy, and you can prevent panda eyes. 
Buy Smudge-Proof and Waterproof Kajals
Apart from ensuring you buy only smudge-proof and waterproof kajals, you can also keep some face wipes handy to remove excess oil and sweat. Avoid touching your eyes and stop scratching them to prevent smudging.
These tips will surely help your kajal from smudging and running away. Try them out and share this article with your kajal makeup-obsessed friends!
