A perfectly defined eye can instantly elevate your entire makeup look - until your kajal starts smudging midday. Whether you’re headed for brunch, conquering long workdays or battling humidity, achieving smudge-free kajal doesn’t just depend on the product you use but also on how you apply it. Here’s your guide to how to apply kajal without smudging and how to make your eye makeup last from day to night.
Start by prepping your eyelids. Excess oil is one of the major reasons kajal smudges or transfers, especially if you have oily skin. Gently cleanse your eye area to remove excess oil, old makeup, or skincare products. Then, apply a lightweight primer, followed by a light dusting of loose powder to create the perfect base. For anyone looking for long-lasting kajal for oily skin, this skin prep step can make a huge difference.
Next, choose a high-performance kajal that is highly pigmented, waterproof, and designed for all-day wear. When it comes to staying power, not all kajals are designed equally. The PAC Spotlight Longwear Kajal glides effortlessly, delivers intense color in a single stroke, and stays put through heat, humidity, and long wear.
One of the best waterproof kajal tips is to avoid applying it in thick layers in one go. Instead, apply thin strokes, allow them to sit for a few seconds, and then build the intensity. You can also lightly set the lower lash using a matching eyeshadow to minimise transfer and enhance longevity.
If you’ve ever wondered how to make kajal last all day long, the answer lies in combining the right technique with the right products. Finish your routine with a light setting spray to help your eye makeup last for hours. The PAC Ever Stay Setting Spray is the perfect choice since it's lightweight, sets in seconds, and boosts makeup wear.
