Kayal for the eyes: top 7 options for all occasions

Kayal is a real find for lovers of makeup with an emphasis on the eyes. A soft, natural-based beauty pencil that can create dramatic smokey looks for a big party, or just highlight the lash line before a day at the office.

Eyeliner is a basic element of any cosmetic bag. Even if you are not a fan of accent retro arrows, you will definitely need it anyway: emphasize the lash line and make the look more expressive, draw the outer corner and visually open the eyes or adjust their cut. And the Kayals will cope with these tasks best of all.

Kayal is a soft pencil formulated with natural carbon black or ground minerals and plant based antiseptics. This product was invented in the ancient world as a tool to protect the eyes from the adverse effects of sunlight and, of course, an element of decorative cosmetics. Today, UV protection products are much more effective, but humanity has not yet invented cosmetic products that are better in functionality than kayals. So let's look at a few options.
