Indian eyes deserve kajal that doesn't smudge in humidity, eyeliner that holds a wing all day, and eyeshadow that shows true colour on deeper eyelids. Metabu eye makeup is engineered for the Indian climate — our smudge-proof kajal and waterproof kohl pencil resist sweat, oil, and 40°C summers.
Our best kajal in India collection includes the iconic Magic Stroke Kohl — dermatologist-tested and pigmented enough to define in one stroke. Whether you want a subtle kohl-rimmed eye for daily wear or an intense smoky eye for evenings, our formulas blend from soft definition to dramatic intensity without flaking.
Every Metabu eye product is dermatologist-tested, cruelty-free, and made in India. We don't compromise on safety — because the most beautiful eye look starts with products you can trust near your eyes.

The best kajal for Indian eyes has to hold in humidity and on oily eyelids. Metabu Magic Stroke Kohl Kajal is a soft, wax-based kohl with a long-lasting formula that resists heat, humidity and everyday wear — dermatologist-tested, cruelty-free, and made for Indian conditions.
Yes, with the usual precautions any eye makeup needs. All Metabu eye products are dermatologist-tested and free from added fragrance. Insert your lenses first, line the lash line rather than the inner waterline, and remove your lenses before taking the makeup off at night.
Smudge-Proof Intense Kajal is described as smudge-proof and long-wearing; the others are described as long-wearing rather than by a fixed number of hours. All are made to resist humidity and heat without transferring to the under-eye area.
Kajal and kohl are traditional Indian eye cosmetics — soft, blendable, and applied on the waterline for a defined look. Eyeliner is a liquid or pencil formula applied on the lash line for precise wings and graphic shapes. Metabu offers both in smudge-proof formulas.
They are smudge-proof and long-wearing rather than fully waterproof — Ultra Glide Kajal says exactly that on its own page. They are built to hold through humidity, heat and a long day. For removal, use a gentle oil-based makeup remover.
