Kajal and eyeliner are two of the easiest ways to define the eyes and change the overall appearance of a makeup look.
A simple black kajal can create an everyday look, while colored kajal can add personality. A liquid eyeliner can create a sharper, more defined appearance, and a creamy pencil can be blended for a softer finish.
But choosing the right product isn’t simply about finding the darkest black.
You should also consider:
- Pigmentation
- Finish
- Application
- Waterproofing
- Smudge resistance
- Wear time
- Pencil vs liquid format
- Color
- Comfort
- Ease of removal
