What is Ithmid kohl
Ithmid kohl is a finely milled eyeliner powder used for a clean, classic line along the waterline or lash line. It has a soft texture that adheres well yet diffuses for a natural finish.
Why people use it
- Quick, elegant definition without a glossy finish.
- Soft-focus effect that complements both day and evening looks.
- Minimal ingredients compared with many liquid liners.
- Traditional applicator method that offers precise control.
How to choose quality
- Buy from established retailers with batch numbers and clear labels.
- Look for a fine, even grind that feels silky, not gritty.
- Neutral odour, consistent colour, and tamper-evident sealing.
- Prefer brands that include a clean applicator and usage guidance.
Tools you need
- Kohl stick, wooden or metal, cleaned and dried.
- Small jar with a narrow opening for easy loading.
- Cotton buds or tissues for touch-ups.
- Mild cleanser or a little olive oil for removal.
How to apply
- Wash hands. Ensure the applicator is clean and dry.
- Dip the tip into the powder and tap off excess.
- Close one eye gently. Place the stick at the inner corner and glide along the waterline to the outer corner in one smooth pass.
- Repeat on the other eye. Add a second light pass if you want a deeper tone.
- For a soft lash-line haze, blend with a cotton bud.
Use light pressure and short, confident strokes. Avoid poking or dragging.
Hygiene and safety
- Do not share your kohl or applicator.
- Clean the stick with warm water and mild soap, then dry fully.

- Stop use and seek clinical advice if you notice redness, tearing, or discomfort.
Removal and cleaning
- Apply a few drops of micellar water or a drop of olive oil to a cotton pad.
- Press for 5 to 10 seconds, then wipe outward gently.
- Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.
Storage and shelf life
- Keep the jar tightly closed, cool, and dry.
