Choose the appropriate eyeliner type
The first and most important step in the development of kohl is to find the type of eyeliner appropriate, and there are several factors that can help to choose:
- Distinguish between the retractable kohl pen or the stylus.
- Choose the right color, knowing that the liquid eyeliner gives a dark color, stays firm, and does not stain the eyelids.
- Avoid choosing eyeliner with luster; it may contain harmful eye components.
- In the case of eye sensitivity prefer to choose the types of natural kohl.
- Choose the types of eyeliner rich in eye nutrients.
- Choose a type of waterproof eyeliner, so that it stays constant in case of rain.
Apply kohl to the eyes
Using the pen
Kohl is applied using pen by:
- Clean the area around the eyes, by washing the face, and using the makeup remover.
- Draw a line on the upper eyelid starting from the inner lanes of the eye, and try to have the line along the lashes, preferably to draw the line with one movement if possible.
- Pull the lower eyelid gently using the finger, look upward, draw the line of eyeliner on the lower eyelid starting from the inner corner, and try to draw as straight a line as possible.
- In some kohl methods, it is gently distributed using a brush or finger.
- For best results when you put the kohl prefer to practice in front of the mirror, keep the eyeliner pen clean.
Put the kohl using a brush
The kohl is placed using a brush, by following these steps:
- Remove the kohl residue on the brush by gently beating the brush on the container if the powder kohl is used, or wipe it with the lid of the canister if the kohl is liquid.
- Take the brush horizontally and begin to draw the line of kohl from the inner corner of the eye and towards the line of eyelashes towards the outer corner of the eye, with light pressure, then move to the lower inner corner, and draw a line with the corresponding eyelashes, with gently pulling the skin down.
