    Kajal is one of those makeup products that can change your look in seconds. A soft black line can make the eyes look more defined, while a coloured kajal can add something different without needing a full eye makeup routine. Nykaa's bestselling kajals include classic black pencils, waterproof and smudge-proof formulas, gel kajals and coloured options from Renee Cosmetics, Kay Beauty, Maybelline New York, Lakme, Faces Canada and more.

    Best Kajals at a Glance

    • For everyday eye definition: A classic black kajal is easy to apply and works with almost any makeup look.
    • For long wear: Look for waterproof, smudge-proof or long-lasting formulas.
    • For a softer eye look: Kohl kajals can be smudged for a more diffused finish.
    • For a bold look: Gel kajals give a deeper, more defined line.
    • For a pop of colour: Coloured kajals can add definition without using eyeshadow.
    • For beginners: Twist-up kajal pencils are simple to apply and easy to carry.

    What Is Kajal Used For?

    Kajal is an eye makeup product used to define the eyes. It can be applied along the waterline, close to the lash line or used as part of a more defined eye look.

    The way kajal looks on the eyes depends largely on its formula. Some give a soft, blendable line, while others are designed to stay sharply defined. Black remains the classic choice, but coloured kajals are an easy way to change up your everyday makeup.

    How to Choose the Right Kajal

    Think about how you normally wear your eye makeup.

    If you want something for everyday use, a smooth black pencil is a practical choice. If your kajal tends to move during the day, a waterproof or smudge-proof formula may suit you better.

    For a smoky eye, choose something that can be blended before it sets. And if you like experimenting with colour, a coloured matte kajal can add definition without making the rest of your makeup complicated.

    Waterproof or Regular Kajal?

    A regular kajal is perfectly fine when you want easy, everyday eye definition and do not need particularly long wear.

    Waterproof kajal is a better fit for long days, humid weather or occasions when you do not want to keep checking your eye makeup. Just remember that waterproof formulas can be harder to remove, so a suitable eye makeup remover is worth keeping handy.

    Smudge-Proof Kajal for Long Wear

    If your kajal tends to move from the waterline or lash line during the day, a smudge-proof formula can make a noticeable difference.

    The current bestselling selection includes several options specifically positioned around smudge-proof or long-lasting wear, including Maybelline New York The Colossal Kajal, Nykaa Smudgeproof Kajal, Lakme Eyeconic Kajal and FAE Beauty Eye-Deal Kajal.

    Apply a thin line first. Adding several layers does not necessarily make the finish better and can make the eye area feel heavier.

    Black Kajal for Everyday Makeup

    Black kajal remains the easiest choice when you want your eyes to look more defined without spending much time on your makeup.

    You can keep the line close to the lashes for a subtle look or apply it along the waterline for stronger definition. Pair it with mascara and you have a complete eye look without needing eyeshadow.

    Coloured Kajal for a Different Look

    Coloured kajal is an easy way to move beyond black eyeliner without learning a complicated eye makeup technique.

    Kay Beauty's 24HR Coloured Matte Kajal is among the current bestselling options and comes in multiple shades. Coloured kajal can be worn on its own or paired with a neutral eyeshadow when you want the colour to stand out.

    For daytime makeup, softer colours can keep the look understated. Deeper shades work well when you want more intensity.

    Gel Kajal or Pencil Kajal?

    The main difference is the way they apply and the finish they create.

    Pencil Kajal

    Easy to control and convenient for everyday use.

    Gel Kajal

    Usually gives a richer, more defined look and can be useful when you want stronger eye definition.

    Gel kajals can also be smudged shortly after application if you want a softer finish. Once the product sets, the look becomes more defined.

    Kajal for Smoky Eyes

    Kajal is one of the easiest products to use for a smoky eye.

    Apply it close to the upper and lower lash lines, then gently soften the edges with a small brush or smudger before the product sets. Add eyeshadow over the top if you want more depth.

    Keep the outer corner slightly deeper than the inner corner for a more natural transition.

    How to Apply Kajal Without Smudging

    1. Start with clean, dry skin around the eyes.
    2. Apply a thin line close to the lash line or along the waterline.
    3. Avoid repeatedly going over the same area.
    4. If you want a softer look, smudge the line immediately after applying it.
    5. Allow long-wear formulas time to set before touching the eye area.

    If your eyelids tend to get oily, keeping the surrounding eye makeup light can also help the kajal stay neater.

    Kajal for Beginners

    A twist-up or traditional pencil kajal is a good place to start.

    You do not need to create a perfectly sharp line. Begin with short strokes close to the lash line and gradually connect them. For the waterline, a single light pass is usually enough.

    Once you are comfortable with basic application, you can try coloured kajals, gel formulas or a smudged smoky look.

    Kajal for Oily Eyelids

    Kajal can move more easily when there is excess oil around the eyes. A waterproof or smudge-proof formula can be useful in this case.

    Keep your eye area free from excess skincare or rich products before applying kajal. If you are using eyeshadow, setting the area lightly can also help create a cleaner base for eye makeup.

    How to Remove Waterproof Kajal

    Do not scrub the eye area to remove stubborn kajal.

    Use a makeup remover designed for eye makeup and gently hold it over the area for a few seconds before wiping. Repeat if necessary rather than rubbing back and forth.

    Taking a little extra time during removal is especially helpful when you are wearing waterproof or long-wear kajal.

    Common Kajal Mistakes to Avoid

    • Applying several thick layers instead of building the line gradually
    • Choosing a very soft formula when you need long wear
    • Rubbing the eyes soon after applying kajal
    • Using a dark kajal without considering the rest of your eye makeup
    • Pulling or stretching the delicate skin around the eyes while applying
    • Scrubbing the eyes to remove waterproof kajal
    • Forgetting to check whether a coloured kajal is suitable for the look you want

    Common Questions

    Q1: Which kajal is best for everyday use?

    A smooth black kajal that is easy to apply and comfortable to wear is a good everyday option. If your kajal tends to smudge, choose a formula with a stated smudge-proof or long-lasting claim.

    Q2: Which kajal is best for long-lasting wear?

    Waterproof and smudge-proof kajals are designed with longer wear in mind. The current Nykaa Best Sellers selection includes several options with these claims, including Kay Beauty Waterproof 24 Hour Kajal, Maybelline New York The Colossal Kajal and Lakme 9 to 5 Eyeconic Kajal.

    Q3: Is waterproof kajal better than regular kajal?

    Not necessarily. If you need it to last longer or you're in heat and humidity, it makes more sense to use a waterproof kajal. For a simple everyday look, a regular kajal may be enough.

    Q4: What is the difference between kajal and gel kajal?

    Gel kajal generally gives a richer, more defined finish, while a pencil kajal is usually easier to control for everyday application. Both can be used along the lash line or waterline depending on the product instructions.

    Q5: Can I use coloured kajal every day?

    Yes. If you're looking for something a little different from black, coloured kajal is a great alternative for everyday makeup. Choose a shade that coordinates with the rest of your makeup to create a unified look.

    Q6: How do I stop kajal from smudging?

    Begin on clean, dry skin and apply a thin coat. A waterproof or smudge-proof formula can help, too. Do not rub your eyes after application.

    Q7: Can kajal be used for a smoky eye?

    Yes. Line the lash line with kajal and smudge the edges with a brush or smudger before it sets. You can then add eyeshadow for more depth.
