Master the art of kajal application for stunning, defined eyes. Explore our expert tips and tricks . Kajal or kohl pencil is a quintessential part of any eye makeup routine, and it is a staple beauty product in your vanity. While there are plenty of ways to enhance your eyes nowadays, knowing how to apply kajal beautifully and with precision will instantly make your eyes look dramatic and appealing. We will learn some tips and tricks to work with a kohl pencil in this post. Applying kajal might seem intimidating initially, but it is simpler than using an eyeliner. You can use a kohl pencil to create a single stroke or even bold smokey eyes. Once you have mastered the right technique, you can achieve different eye looks like a winged or cat-eye look in no time. Shalini Mandal, a YouTuber, shared her personal experience and how she likes to apply kajal effortlessly in various ways. She states, “I’m going to mix and match these three different ways and come up with a new look every time. This is what I have been doing all those years when I wasn’t introduced to eyeshadows, so kajal was my bae (i). Keep In Mind Types: Kajal is commercially available in the form of sharpenable pencils, retractable sticks, gels, and powders. Retractable ones are beginner-friendly while powders require practice. Base: Apply a thin layer of cream foundation on your lids and lash line to intensify the kajal color and avoid a cakey finish. Skin Type: If you have oily skin, use compact or loose powder to create a dry base and avoid smudging. Colors: Black for sharp and edgy looks; white for bright and cheerful looks; and other vibrant shades to add a lively pop of color to the look. Avoid: Inner corners of the eyes as those areas tend to get moist and ruin the look. You may use shimmery eyeshadows or highlighters instead.

There is an unreasonable assumption floating around that when we reach a certain age, we no longer want to experiment with our style or try new things. It’s as if we reach 50 only to have all the colour rounded up from our wardrobes, and anything that couldn’t be described as a neutral suddenly confiscated from our makeup bags. Our lives don’t become any less vibrant or colourful as we travel down the path of life, so why should our makeup choices reflect a muted, sombre state of affairs? The way we present ourselves on the outside should feel like a reflection of how we feel on the inside. Good makeup, just like an amazing pair of shoes, has the ability to change how we carry ourselves, as well as how others perceive us. Not to mention that a shimmering eye is the perfect conversation starter – a way to engage with others (as well as invite compliments). So, why are so many of us scared of shimmer? “A lot of people are terrified of shimmer because they think of a time, years ago, when eyeshadows were either matte or glittery, with nothing in between,” says Alex Phillips, Pro Makeup Artist at Trinny London. “A common worry is also that they’re going to enhance crepiness. But technology has moved on and cream eyeshadows won’t do that. They’re very soft, incredibly flattering and bring light to the eye.” If you’re thinking, shimmery eye makeup sounds great, I’d definitely try it for a special occasion, then allow us to try and twist your arm towards making it a more everyday occurrence. When we save things for best, we deny ourselves those little, unexpected moments of joy. You would expect to feel happy and glamorous at your birthday dinner, but on a rainy wednesday? Not so much. By elevating the everyday, you can feel your best at all times. Wear the shimmer, you more than deserve it. Step 1 Prime your lids to create a smooth, clean surface. If your lids are very dry, you may want to use a small amount of a lightweight moisturiser. If they’re very oily, consider priming them with a mattifying product. Step 2 For a more intense look, apply a base colour to your lids in a similar hue to the shimmering shadow you will be wearing. This will amplify the colour. Step 3 : Using your fingers, apply the shimmering eyeshadow to your lids. Concentrate on the inner corner, before using what’s left on your finger to bring the colour across your lid, and then upwards and outwards. Work in light layers to build the colour and use a clean finger or a fluffy brush to blend.

Under Eye Cream for Dark Circles (Circle Free Eyes) How to Apply Eye Cream Properly: 6 Derm-Approved Tips

Banish dark circles with our expert-recommended under-eye creams. Achieve brighter, smoother skin. If you’re serious about keeping signs of aging at bay, then it’s high time you pay closer attention to your eye area. That’s because the skin around the eyes is “thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face, making it more prone to signs of aging like fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles,” explains Dr. Dahlia Rice, board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of DMR Aesthetics. The good news? Eye creams are here to save the day. But if you’re new to the eye cream game, you may be wondering if you’re using the product the right way. Keep reading for a step-by-step guide on how to apply eye cream properly so you can reap all its eye-brightening benefits and get the most bang for your buck. What Are the Key Ingredients in Eye Creams? Just like other skincare products, eye creams come in all shapes, sizes, and formulations. “Eye creams are specifically designed for increased hydration while containing ingredients that build collagen and promote anti-aging while taking into consideration the sensitive properties of the thinner eyelid skin,” explains Dr. Daniel Behoorzan, Persana verified physician and founder and director of the Dermatology Institute of Southern California. How to Apply Eye Cream: A Step-by-Step Guide Step 1: Apply eye cream in the right order. Any true skincare fan knows that the order by which you apply products can affect how well they will be absorbed by the skin. Eye creams tend to be thinner and lighter in consistency than moisturizers, so they need to go after serums and before emollients. Step 2: Use a pea-sized amount. A little goes a long way when it comes to eye creams. “A small dab is sufficient for the eye area,” says Dr. Mary Alice Mina, a double-board certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon and host of the The Skin Real podcast. Step 3: Tap small dots under your eyes. “Using your ring finger (which applies the least pressure), gently dab small dots of eye cream along the orbital bone, starting from the inner corner and moving outward,” says Dr. Rice. Applying the product with your fingertip also warms up the cream and helps absorption. Step 4: Avoid the lower lash line and eyelids. While some eye creams are formulated for the skin around the eyes, including the eyelids, most target the under-eye area specifically and may irritate the extra delicate eyelids and lower lash line. Step 5: Pat the eye cream gently. You’ll want to avoid tugging and rubbing the skin, so make sure to “pat gently to prevent stretching the delicate skin,” says Dr. Mina. Step 6: Give your skin enough time to fully absorb the product. Wait at least two minutes before continuing with the rest of your routine to let the product full

Under Eye Serum (Eye Renewal)

Under Eye Serum (Eye Renewal)

Unlock youthful, radiant eyes with our under-eye serum guide. Target fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness.Although eye serums and creams may sound similar, they work differently. “Both eye serum and eye cream are used to treat concerns in the eye area,” explains Dr. Gratch. “Serums tend to have more concentrated ingredients, so those with sensitive skin may tolerate an eye cream better.” Eye serums can help address puffiness, dark circles, or wrinkles, and certain ingredients can match up to your skincare goals. “For puffiness, I recommend any products that contain caffeine, antioxidants, and/or green tea,” says Dr. Gratch. “For dark circles, look for ingredients such as vitamin C, retinol, and hyaluronic acid.” Finally, if wrinkles and crow’s feet are your concerns, pick up a serum that’s packed with glycerin, retinol, peptides, and ferulic acid to help reduce their appearance, he adds. “Anyone can use an eye serum, especially those who are looking to prevent future concerns.” When to Use Eye Serum? The beauty of an eye serum is that it’s typically lightweight and absorbs quickly into the skin, which makes it perfect for both day and nighttime use, says Dr. Gratch. If you notice your makeup slips or doesn’t apply as well when using an eye serum in the morning, try waiting at least 10 minutes for it to absorb before doing your makeup, or you can go ahead and skip it in the morning and use it only at night. How to Apply Eye Serum 1. Cleanse the Skin: Before applying skincare products, make sure to start with a fresh, clean base. If you’ve been wearing makeup all day, we’re huge fans of double cleansing to make sure all the gunk from the day is truly off of your face. 2. Apply Other Skincare Serums: Dr. Gatch recommends doing your normal face skincare routine and applying your face serum before the eye serum. 3. Pat on the Eye Serum: Taking just a small, pea-size amount of product, gently pat it onto the under eyes. Dr. Gatch recommends avoiding the top of your eyelids, to make sure the product doesn’t slip into the eye. He also recommends avoiding the lash line. 4. Moisturize: Add your face moisturizer to the skin after taking care of your eye serum. Layering Eye Serum and Eye Cream We love eye creams and serums, but Dr. Gatch says you don’t need to use two products. “Some will recommend putting an eye cream over an eye serum, but I don’t believe in using excessive products, especially if you find an eye serum with the right ingredients for you,” he says. “If you do choose to layer, the cream will go after the serum.”
