Our eyes speak the language of the body and its feelings. Anjana (Kohl) enhances the beauty of the eye and what it has to express. Anjana has been a woman’s favorite for long eras in India. It is used to brighten the eyes and darken the eyelashes by every woman.

The size of the eye is increased by drawing a short, fine pencil mark outwards from the corner of the lids where they join. With a light and gentle hand, taking care to carry the line of shading a trifle beyond the angle of the eyes. Anjana is used to cleanse the eyes and give them a large, almond shape, which is delightful to look at. This is similar to the use of modern eyeliner and mascara that helps in enhancing the shape and size of the eyes and used on the upper and lower eyelids to make it more attractive and beautiful.

The material used for making kohl has a variety of herbs and spices including camphor. The easiest way of preparing kohl at home is by burning a cotton wick soaked in mustard oil and then collecting the smoke that arises in a silver spoon. A silver pencil is then dipped into it and passed along the eyelids and makes them bright, black and large.
