DIY all-natural almond kohl / kajal

Eyes are the most important feature that can make you look glamorous 👁👩🏻…  When it comes to eye makeup, kajal or kohl is the most important product. But what is a commercial kajal, eye liner n mascara made up of??? 📢 Check this out to know the ingredients n the harm they might cause to your eyes!

A safer all-natural khol can easily be prepared with just two ingredients. This is my first trial recipe of kajal.

Ingredients:

• 12 Almonds
• 1 drop 💧 of sweet almond oil

How to prepare?

• Take a metal roti roaster / sieve and place it on the stove. Once it is hot, place the almonds on it…

• Wait for few minutes until one side gets completely burnt like this 👇…

• Gently turn the almonds to the other side using a metal fork n a spoon. Let the other side also burn completely like this… <I have to warn you – this will turn your house smokey and need to be very cautious as the almonds would catch fire, recommended to do in a open space with no kids around!>

• Once they are completely lit and burnt, sift the ashes into the mortar…

• Grind them as finely as possible… Add a drop of sweet almond oil and grind…

• Transfer and store it in a small glass jar. That’s it all-natural almond khol / kajal is ready to be used!

How to use?

• This can be applied on the eye water line with your finger tip / a eye liner brush…
• This can be used as eye liner, eye brow liner…
• This can be used as eye shadow…
• This can be used for smokey eye…
• Also can be used as nazar ka tika / dishti chukka (in telugu) for babies 👶. Few traditions in India 🇮🇳 believe, applying a small black dot on babies face will protect from evil eyes 👀…

Kohl / Kajal can also be used as an ingredient to prepare DIY mascara… Will be posting the recipe very soon stay tuned…
