Prep prep
Start with clean, dry eyelids. You can even use a little bit of eye primer to create a smooth base for your kohl.
Right product
Look for a kohl pencil that is labelled as "smudge-proof" or "long-lasting." Gel or waterproof formulas are also good options.
Apply in thin layers
Instead of one thick line, apply your kohl in thin layers. This will help it to set better and prevent smudging.
Set with powder
After applying your kohl, gently dab a little bit of translucent powder over it.
Eyeshadow
You can also use a thin line of eyeshadow in the same color to set your kohl.
Avoid the waterline
Applying kohl to your waterline can make it more likely to smudge. If you do apply it there, make sure to use a waterproof formula.
No excess
If you notice any excess kohl on your lashes or in the corners of your eyes, get rid of it gently.
Set it!
After you've finished your makeup, lightly mist your face with a setting spray.
