Usually I will apply the kohl first and then use fluidline to do a perfect curve at the corners of my eyes since it's kind of hard to do with a kohl pencil. A little goes a long way too so you don't need to use much. I apply a thin line close to my lashes, then use a smudging brush to soften, thicken and even out the line. The Body Shop sells an awesome one!

I find it also makes the line stand out more if you start with a wash of pigment or shadow like Vanilla or Courage.

You can go to an Indian or Arab supermarket and ask for Kajal or Kohal in stick or powder form. Some show up almost a charcoal gray colour and some are an intense blue black. Definately worth a try!

thanks very much, i will test out the kohl when i go ot a mac counter. but i plan on going to shop at Artesia which is known as "little india" so maybe ill wait. thanks so much!!
