It is important to prep your skin before applying makeup. It will help your makeup glide on smoothly and keep it from creasing. Use a cotton pad soaked in micellar water like the Simple Daily Skin Detox Oil Be Gone Micellar Water to eliminate greasiness and mattify the lid area. If you have an oily skin type, applying an ice pack on your lids before the kohl application can help!

It's essential to prime your lids even if you aren't planning on applying eyeshadow. A primer creates a smooth base for the kajal to glide on and also keeps it from budging. Simply take a makeup primer like the Lakmé Absolute Blur Perfect Makeup Primer and dab it all over the eyelids. It forms a protective barrier between the skin and makeup, thus preventing the skin's natural oils from mixing with the kajal and causing it to smudge.

The best way to prevent your kajal from spreading it by getting your hands on a smudge-proof and waterproof formula. The Lakmé Eyeconic Kajal is one of our faves! You can now use black eyeshadow on the kajal or dust some translucent powder over it to keep it from budging. For touch-ups during the day, carry a Q-tip or a wet wipe to clean up any unfortunate smudges without re-doing your liner.
