Lakmē 9 to 5 Eyeconic Kajal, 0.35g

In the eye makeup and kajal category, the Lakme 9 to 5 Eyeconic Kajal is one of the most recognised kajal products in Indian beauty. Delivers intense black pigment with smudge-proof performance through Indian weather conditions. The creamy formula glides smoothly across the waterline without tugging or causing the eyes to water. Among kajal options in Indian colour cosmetics, the Lakme Eyeconic Kajal has become the standard against which all others are measured. Ophthalmologically tested for waterline safety. Non comedogenic. Made in India by Hindustan Unilever. BIS compliant. Lakme has been perfecting this formula specifically for Indian eyes and Indian weather for decades.

The 0.35g pencil with sharpener-friendly format provides intense black eye definition from a single stroke with smudge-proof hold for 6 to 8 hours. Waterproof through Indian humidity, monsoon, and tears. For the complete defined eye above the kajal-lined waterline, apply the luminous skin setting compact on the face first so the entire eye look — kajal, liner, and eyeshadow — sits above a polished, perfected base.

1. Is the Lakme Eyeconic Kajal the best smudge-proof kajal in India?

It is one of the most trusted and highest-selling smudge-proof kajal products in India. Decades of formulation expertise from Hindustan Unilever specifically for Indian eye makeup needs and Indian weather conditions. For the complete no-smudge eye above the kajal, the precision waterproof liner adds a clean, controlled upper lash line that holds as firmly as this kajal holds on the waterline.

2. How long does the Lakme Eyeconic Kajal stay without smudging?

6 to 8 hours of genuine smudge-proof hold through normal Indian conditions. Specifically formulated for the humidity and heat that destroys kajal in India. For the face that holds equally long above the kajal-defined eye, the priming powder foundation compact locks the base for the same 6 to 8 hour professional window.

3. Is the Lakme Kajal safe for daily waterline application?

Yes. Ophthalmologically tested specifically for waterline safety. Non comedogenic. Paraben free. For the complete daily eye routine alongside the safe kajal, the daily curling mascara from the same Eyeconic family lifts lashes above the daily kajal-lined waterline for a safe, complete, open-eye daily look.

4. How is the Lakme Eyeconic Kajal different from the Lakme Eyeconic Eyeliner?

The kajal is a pencil for waterline application with soft, creamy texture. The Lakme Eyeconic Eyeliner is liquid for lash-line application with a precise tip. Kajal for waterline depth. Eyeliner for defined lines and wings. For the lipstick that completes the kajal-defined Indian face, the HA comfort matte lipstick adds confident lip colour that makes the whole look complete without overcomplicating the routine.

5. Can the Lakme Eyeconic Kajal be used for a smoky eye look?

Yes. Apply to the waterline and immediately smudge outward with a fingertip or smudge brush while the formula is still fresh — within 20 to 30 seconds of application. The creamy texture blends easily before it sets for a diffused, smoky lower lash effect. Once smudged to your preferred depth, it sets and holds the smoky shape without further movement. For bold lid colour above the smudged kajal, the chroma glitter eye palette adds shimmer to the lid above the smoky kajal base for a complete, dramatic Indian eye look.
