Whether we love a full face of makeup or not, us Indian girls have a love affair with Kajal and many of us feel incomplete without it. A lot of us seldom head out without applying kohl to our eyes, to the extent that we are often asked whether we are sick or tired on the rare occasion when we are not wearing Kajal! If you are a Kajal lover then you must be picky about the formula of the product – it should be creamy yet smudgeproof and insanely pigmented. Today I will be talking to you about some of the blackest black, smudgeproof kajals in India!
1. Nykaa Eyem Black Kajal
I can go far enough to make the bold claim that the Nykaa Eyem Black Kajal is my favourite Kajal ever! This one comes in the sharpenable pencil format but the formula literally glides on the waterline giving opaque pigmentation in one swipe without any tugging. I cannot explain how much I love the smoothness and creaminess of the formula. I barely have to touch the waterline with this pencil for the blackest black pigmentation. This Kajal lasts all day long without fail on my waterline despite my extremely watery eyes. I cannot recommend it enough to you! Check out my review!

2. Nykaa Eyem Bold Kajal
If you are more of a conventional Kajal person then the Nykaa Eyem Bold Kajal is meant for you. This Kajal comes in a thicker crayon style sharpenable pencil. The formula is as black as the Nykaa Eyem Black Kajal but slightly smokier. This one too glides on the waterline with ease and provides opaque pigmentation in one swipe. It creates a thicker line in a single swipe and gives more of a traditional look. It is also not as smudgeproof as the Eyem Black Kajal and is perfect for creating a smoked out look.

3. Plum Natur Studio All Day Wear Kohl Kajal
No list of best Kajals in India can be complete without mentioning the Plum Natur Studio All Day Wear Kohl Kajal. Plum was one of the first brands to bring out a rich black Kajal at an affordable price in India. As an added bonus, this Kajal is vegan and opthalmogically tested and a lot of people with sensitive eyes swear by it. This one is fairly smudgeproof too and lasts almost all day long in my waterline. My only complaint with the product is that the formula tends to dry up a bit after a month or so and tugs a little at the waterline if you do not warm up the Kajal on the back of your hand first. Other than this, there is no other thing I would like to change about this product.

4. Colorbar Just Smoky Eye Pencil
The Colorbar Just Smokey Eye Pencil is yet another jet black Kajal that provides opaque pigmentation in one swipe. It also comes with a sponge smudger to smoke out the Kajal on your lids. This one stays on my waterline for several hours but tends to bleed a bit near my inner corners when my eyes are particularly watery. If you do not have watery eyes then this will stay on all day long for you.

5. Kay Beauty Smokey Kajal
The Kay Beauty Smokey Kajal is yet another wonderful alternative for jet black Kajal lovers. This Kajal is very creamy and glides easily both on the lids and the waterline. It comes with a smudger to create a smokey look, but if you let it set without smudging it then it will not budge all day long. The pigmentation is on point and the longevity is ideal for those who work long hours at an office.
