Moroccan Kohl Powder Eyeliner

   The Moroccan women are known for their exotic beauty. Deep, dark skin and mysterious dark eyes to match. Their beauty secret in developing this charcoal look to their eyes dates back centuries and has been passed on to the current young girls of today. 

   Kohl (khur, kuhl, kahal, or kohol) is a black substance used by Moroccan women as eyeliner and eyeshadow. Apart from making the eyes look brighter and larger, kohl has a value as a protection against eye disease. It's blackness also controls the sun's glare in the desert, and thus it is used by both men and women of the desert.

  Application: pick up stick and dip tip of stick into kohl powder. Hold stick parallel to eye, and starting at the inner point of the eye, run it between the eyelids ACTUALLY TOUCHING THE EYE. (It doesn't hurt, really.)

   Kohl is water-proof but not "spit-proof", which is a great atribute in hot climates. A tiny amount of power will last you a couple of years, and it's much healthier for your eye than commercial cosmetics which you wouldn't dare put into your eye. Excess powder will gather at the corner of the eyes and you can remove it. It is much less artificial looking than painting a line outside the lids with commercial eyeliners; people will notice your eyes, but they won't be quite sure why.
Little Bottle of khol Powder last for a long time.

IMPORTANT : If you wear contact lenses you must apply kohl BEFORE inserting lenses.
