Over the ages, kajal has been an integral part of the Indian beauty regime. However, today's millennials are ditching the make-up essential and opting for a no-kajal, natural look instead. Ironically, kajal was introduced into people's beauty regime as it was the only natural make-up available. "Kajal is a refined version of surma, which was initially applied for its health benefits, before it became part of our style statement. It made a comeback with Bipasha Basu's look in Jism — the bold kohl and smoky eyes. But, some of Bollywood's biggest actresses like Alia Bhatt still have a baby face. They don't need too much make-up. The whole idea is to give them a young appearance. So, the pretty, soft and delicate look is now in, making the natural look more preferable than sexy and hot," explains stylist and make-up artist Aditi Mittal.
