Kajal or Kohl is the first beauty product for make up. Using kajal is the best way to enhance the eye make up and highlight those beautiful eyes without much effort. With the mass usage of kajal, many companies have made ample of business by making kohl. Artificial kajals are highly diluted and processed with chemicals.

Making kajal is a mystery for most of the girls but do you know, in earlier days, women used to make homemade kajal which is not only natural, chemical free but also good for the eyes too. Lets check out the recipe to make homemade kajal.

Recipe to make homemade kajal:

Ingredients

50 ml pure ghee or sesame oil
a silver lamp which can accommodate the ghee/oil
1 long cotton wick
1 copper plate used in poojas

Directions to make homemade kajal-

1. Pour the ghee in the lamp but keep a teaspoon of it aside. Wet the wick in the ghee and light the lamp. Fix the copper plate over the flame with the help of the stand.

2. Place the lamp in a place where there is not wind. Leave the lamp to burn for 10 hours. The best time to make kajal is at night. Light the lamp and it will burn till the oil/ghee is into it.

3. After the oil is burnt take out the copper plate placed over the lamp. There will be a thick powdery black colored residue under the plate. This powder residue is the base of the natural kohl making.

4. Now take the the half teaspoon ghee which was kept in the beginning. Add it in drops to in that black powder.

5. Rub the residue with one finger till you make a consistent kohl. Do not make it too thick or too thin. Thin kajal will smudge and thick one will set in lumps.

6. Keep the mix in an air-tight box and refrigerate it for 2-3 hours. Store in room temperature after refrigerating.

Homemade kajal is ready. You can apply this natural and homemade eye kohl without worrying about the chemicals.
