We usually apply kajal on our lower lash line. Skip this, and instead, apply kajal to your top waterline. This is called "tight lining". To take tightening further, instead of a clean line, you can even go a bit heavier in the areas between the lashes for a more intense look. This gives the impression of thicker lashes at the base. You won't be able to tell you're wearing kajal, but you can definitely see a difference!
