Aisha and her eye makeup:

Aisha is wearing a lot of makeup, like everyone on TV. BUT you may have noticed that her eyes are darkly lined with black liner. This is actually something South Asians of her time would do.

South Asians use a kohl stone to make kajal/kohl/surma. This has been around since ancient times and is still something South Asians like to do. All over the world. The method used to make it has changed and perfectly safe eyeliner has been marketed as kajal. As far as I know.

South Asians used to believe that this practice warded off evil eye and protected the eye.

So yeah, a women living in a village in Asia in the 40s could potentially have some eye makeup.

The use of kohl can be traced back to 3500 BC to ancient Kemet (Egypt )and the ancient kingdom of Punt. It was originally used for prevention of eye ailments but was also thought to protect from “the evil eye.” The use spread about Central and South Asia, the Mediterranean, Horn of Africa, and India, where it today has a variety of names like Kajal amd surma for lining eyes. Eritrean women have long applied kohl (kuul) for cosmetic purposes, as well as to cleanse the eyes, lengthen eyelashes, and to protect the eyes from the sun's rays. It is popularly used by the Oromo women of Ethiopia. In Nigeria it is called by the Yoruba name Tiro as well as Tozali or Kwalli in other west African groups. It is used on both adults and children to cleanse the eyes and give clearer sight and for beautification purposes by some women. #beautyhistory #eyeliner #kohl #kuul #tiro #tozali #kwalli #kajal #surma #eyemakeup #blackbeauty #blackhistory #sacredbeauty #ancientbeauty #africanwomen #africanculture #africantradition #africanbeauty (at Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cge9FqiO3oS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

also wanted to take a moment to answer some questions from @eye-cri againn quite honestly reading these made me so happy^^

ughrgh kajal my girl🩵

(note: this is quite a long post so yk just fyi^^)

yes indeed the skirt was a nightmare to render but was it worth it? absolutely. and yeee the earrings are such an important part of her design (shes hardly ever seen w/ out them :>>) and yes, they do ring!! (trust zeus teases her for it when they’re initially meeting) the glove is actually tied to her story, she uses it to cover a symbol on her hand linked to her powers (ill go into detail about that in a bit). also kajal is of fae descent, (hence the pointed ears, i think i also meant to add a tail to her design but we’ll see abt that). as for how she got in to the academy, she just applied to the academy for fun (fae court stuff bored her- i have so much fae lore for this universe i.) and got accepted into the night class- she wanted to get away from home for a bit and thought some fancy boarding school/ academy in gedonelune would be interesting (i honestly forgot how getting into the academy works and haven’t gone back to check in a while so. i hope that works TT). she’s close friends with caesar, leslie and hiro. (i personally like that hiro and kajal both have special unique skills- ill touch on it later.)

ALSO YES. ZEUS. KAJAL. ZEJAL. IM. THEY- 💕🥺🩵✨❤️ zeus nationnnnn YES. hes just so🥺🩵🩵.

i truly cannot put into words how much they mean to me. zeus as a character is just so so wonderful and i. cannot. describe. how much i love him :>> anyways zejal (the ship name :PP) has been my precious lil thing for YEARS now im. (i’ll try to keep this brief so i dont go on forever)- zeus and kajal are very much rivals to lovers. they start out as classmates and spend most of their first year trying to one up one another. they do eventually start to begrudgingly respect one another and before he knows it, zeus is whipped for her. she too forms her own budding crush but isn’t really sure what to do about it because she doesn’t think zeus would ever feel the same way sooo she bottles it down and ignores it- subsequently (and perhaps inadvertently) ignoring him too. he doesn’t take that too well and it stays pretty tense between them for a bit until everything boils over and zeus ends up confessing followed almost immediately by kajal. thats just a ridiculously brief summary lmaoo- theres a lot to their story TT.

as for styling her uniform, i think she keeps it pretty simple just a regular night class uniform- she will however sometimes be spotted with a large floofy orange scarf (she borrows zeus’s- she likes how soft it is and he honestly loves to see her wear it)

the type of magic she specializes in are ancient curses and incantations. girl has LOADS of ancient grimoires she could spend hours translating and decoding the spells described in them. In fact she ends up using her knowledge of ancient magic to formulate her own unique spell (a concept i might have borrowed from twst in all honesty). she calls it, “evil eye” and its basically a magic circle w/ an evil eye design in the middle - it defends her from malicious intent however, considering that shes supposed to be rather powerful i took it a step further and made it so that using it, kajal can temporarily shut down people’s magic if they intend to do her any harm. she has the symbol marked on her right palm so she can activate it faster. (smthn smthn hiro and kajal bonding over having unique abilities- hiro would actually approach her bc she knows a lot about sealing magic away + she tries her best to help him research his own curse and whatnot) i also just love how both she and zeus work with magic circles i. ugh💕.

—> also the thought of her, caesar and leslie having get togethers where they gossip about random things while drinking chai she prepares hasn’t left my mind.

Let the Great Debate Begin: Is Kajal Better Than Eyeliner?

Who wouldn't desire more attractive, gorgeous eyes? After all, our eyes mirror our deepest lives. In antiquity, the kajal was considered as a beauty symbol. It is also excellent for the eyes. However, many eye cosmetics are now available on the market, including kajal, kohl kajal, eye pencils, kohl kajal pencils, and many others.

However, why is black the only color associated with beauty? There are several colors, like bronze, blue, eyeliner, brown, red, and many others. Do you know what the difference between eyeliner and kajal is? In this article, we'll compare the two and debate whether kajal or eyeliner which is better.

Benefits of Kajal-

Because of the darker formula, you get a more dramatic effect.

It is simple to use on the eye.

The best remedy for smokey eyes.

Avoid causing harm to your eyes.

The creamy texture contributes to the smooth action.

It is inexpensive and simple to remove.

The disadvantages of kajal-

A specialist is required to utilize it appropriately.

Finding genuine and authentic brands may be difficult.

Benefits of Eyeliner-

It doesn't bleed through or smear and provides you with a dark, long-lasting, and better appearance after a long time.

Natural black and golden eyeliner are among the many colors available.

Cons of Eyeliner-

 Doesn't work well with smoky eyes.

It is difficult to remove, so if you make a mistake, you must delete it.

With so many cosmetic items available to enhance your overall appearance, makeup artists swear by the quick beauty that eyeliner offers.

Every woman's cosmetic arsenal includes eyeliner, which can change plain-looking eyes like magic. 

This is placed along the rim of the eye to make your eyes appear more open and your lashes appear thicker. This is also available in a variety of forms, including liquid and gel. 

Most women have already decided which sort of eyeliner formulation best meets their needs, whether gel or liquid.  

However, if you are new to the eyeliner game and are still unable to figure out which eyeliner is YOUR eyeliner, we are here to help. We have all the knowledge that you require to help you decide between liquid and gel eyeliner so you don't buy the wrong one. Continue reading to learn more!

Both liquid and gel eyeliner has various benefits and effects. That is why it is vital to educate yourself on both before purchasing one! 

Trust us on this; we don't want you to regret your purchase!

Before we get into the specifics of gel eyeliner vs liquid eyeliner, here's a basic rundown of the similarities and differences between the two:

Liquid Eyeliner:

superior at drawing fine, crisp lines

It is simple to apply because it includes an applicator.

It might have a gleaming finish.

sets quickly and leaves little opportunity for mistakes.

Given that it may sting your eyes if used for tightlining, it is best used on the upper lash line.

Gel Liner:

Ideal for thicker, more pronounced streaks.

Can achieve both a smeared and defined look

The texture is blendable, customizable, and forgiving of errors.

Depending on the style you want to achieve, you may need to use a second applicator brush.

This is a common option for tightening the waterline.

Similarities

Both allow for accurate application.

Both may be used to achieve "cat-eye" and "winged" eyeliner styles.

Both require trial and error for newcomers since they are difficult to apply. Reapplication is simple due to their mobility.

Both come in a variety of colors and are waterproof.

Both are rather inexpensive.

Both last around 2–3 months.

As mentioned previously, kajal, eyeliner; gel, or liquid eyeliner each have particular applications and perform an important role. Kajal may be used to conceal the upper and lower eyelid waterlines. Eyeliner, on the other hand, is exclusively used on the upper eyelid and is preferred by most women. In India, the combined product of these two essential components of beauty is now popular. Women want to enhance their appearance by using eyeliner, kajal, or both. As you can see, we can't determine whether kajal, eyeliner; gel, or liquid eyeliner is preferable.
