How to use box kajal to make your eyes look bigger and bolder

When we talk about timeless Indian beauty staples, we have to include dramatic kajal eyes. From everyday sleek strokes to bridal intensity, a kajal pencil stick must be a must-have in every girl’s vanity.

But have you ever tried the traditional pot formula, where women used to apply kajal from a box with a stick, brush, or even their fingers?Box kohl is known for its pigmentation and needs strategic application, which can make your eyes look bigger, brighter, and absolutely bolder. Unlike retractable pencils, box kajals come in a small container with a creamy, high-pigmentation formula and glide smoothly on the waterliner.

It blends beautifully with a smoky eye effect, delivers an intense black payoff, and is perfect for longer settings.

Let’s see, using this box of kajal, how we can give a bolder and bigger eye look.

Step 1: Clean away extra oil from your eyelids and undereye area, and apply a light layer of concealer, which will prevent your kajal from smudging. Step 2: Now, tighten your upper waterline and gently lift your eyelid, and then apply kajal with the thinnest brush from your vanity.

Step 3: If you want bigger eyes, then do not heavily line the entire lower waterline with kajal, but apply it only to the outer two-thirds area.Step 4: With the brush, extend the outer corner and keep the wing small and lifted. This will give a cat-eye-like illusion.

Step 5: Take a small smudger brush, blend only the outer corners, and keep the inner circle clean.Step 6: Highlight the inner corners now for a maximum effect and add a hint of soft gold shimmer eyeshadow around the inner corners.Step 7: With your eyelash curler, you can simply curl them, apply some mascara, and then seal it with your setting spray.

Final verdictBox kajal is more than just a nostalgic beauty, but it’s a powerful tool that has been used since ancient times to sculpt bold and statement eyes. Apply it with strategic placement and with the right complementary products, which will truly transform your eye shape without the need for heavy makeup, and that in a few minutes.
