How To STOP Kajal/Eyeliner from Smudging! 💯

In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to stop or prevent your kajal, eyeliner or eye pencil from smudging.
Kajal eyeliner can smudge due to several factors. Here are a few common reasons:
Oiliness: Kajal eyeliner tends to smudge more easily on oily skin. The natural oils produced by your skin can break down the formula of the eyeliner, causing it to spread and smudge.
Humidity and moisture: High humidity or excessive moisture can also contribute to smudging. When the environment is humid or if you have watery eyes, the moisture can cause the kajal eyeliner to run and smudge.
Application technique: The way you apply the kajal eyeliner can affect its longevity. If you apply the eyeliner on your waterline, where your eyes tend to be more moist, it can smudge more easily.
Quality of the product: The quality of the kajal eyeliner itself can impact its smudging tendencies. Some products may have a formulation that is more prone to smudging, while others may be designed to be long-lasting and smudge-proof.
I'm going to demo the technique in this tutorial to make your kajal smudgeproof. I hope you enjoy this tutorial. Lots of love, Smitha

[@tarshagraham7099]

Thank you so much for this!! Perfect advice for anyone who suffers from Hay-fever/allergies (like me) with unexpected eye watering making eyeliner a distant memory. Thanks again Smitha and greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 xx

[@star_gazer2967]

I swear i needed this... I get crap in the corner of my eyes throughout the day and my eyeliner always comes off... I've always wondered how some of these ladies keep thiers looking so nice... Thank you Smitha! ♡⚘

[@violetviolet888]

Impeccable tutorial Smitha, thank you for doing what you do for the rest of us!

[@star_gazer2967]

You wear eyeliner too now fosturd 🤡!?? 😳 Oh nah! 😂😂☠️

[@pallavid187]

Smitha... I used to do the exact same mistake of applying th kajal 'on/in the waterline' instead of lash line, as you have shown. I saw you explaining this in one of the recent videos and started using close to lash line. Oh what a world of difference it made! It stays put 90% even when I'm not following these additional steps in this video. It does move a bit to skin/folds below eyes due to sweating. But very slightly. Not like before, when it would disappear in 2 hours! Now I'm gonna try this make it bulletproof ❤

[@strawberry1025]

Why didn't l know this 40 years ago! I have spent my life looking like a Panda whatever l do. Thanks so much Smitha.

[@bbc8]

Same here… no matter how expensive the Kajal is … still it gets smudge at the end of the day like panda eyes 😂

[@MonikaJaitley]

I used this technique except the last brown eyeshadow step. And First time in my life my Kajal didn’t smudged at all although I have watery eyes. Thank you so much Smitha. Lots of love 💗

[@balanaidoo1814]

OMG YOU READ MY MIND.....i wear kajal everyday and i get sooo annoyed when it gets smudged....this video is soooo helpful.....THANK YOU❤💋

[@SmithaDepak]

😍😍😍

[@druidriley3163]

Wonderful advice! I'm going to experiment this weekend and see if I can get this to work. I have dark undereye circles which are difficult to cover no matter what technique I use, and lining my lower lash line invariably caused the dark color to drift down and emphasize my dark circles even more. Thank you!

[@JBUHJBUH]

​@Surbhi Mundada ​ If using the traditional colour correction options don't work for you (like orange or yellow, to combat blue & purple undertones), then have you tried a peach colour corrector instead? Then apply concealer/ foundation in your actual skin tone colour over the top of the concealer.

[@BrandiMattison]

Thank you Smitha! You’ve solved a problem I’ve had forever! ❤

Yes I saw one of your older videos that explains this. I switched to the Essence pencil and put eye shadow on top. Not a single smudge. And I live in NE OK, it's 100 percent humid a lot of the time. This works 💯. Ty for an updated video!

[@beckiamy3329]

What essence, pencil?

@@beckiamy3329 essence long lasting eye pencil in the color black fever. Its not as long wearing if you have watery eyes but no skin transfer.

[@JNB520]

My eyeliner smudges mins after i put it on. I never even thought to set it with eyeshadow. I have very watery eyes. Thank you for the great tip as always ❤

[@SmithaDepak]

😍😍😍

[@vickygareero9569]

​@@SmithaDepakbut what about someone who has big rounded eyes like me when I apply the kajal on my lower lash line they become bigger unlike when I apply it on my waterline it makes my eyes smaller ( which is exactly what I want) and I love how they look like when I apply kajal inside my eyes. What should I do? Do you have any tips on how to apply kajal on waterline without smudging?😢
