Our Top Summer-Proof Kohl Pencils

Just like Henna, Kohl is part our region’s culture and is definitely essential in our makeup kits.

Eye makeup can be tricky sometimes especially during hot and humid summer days. And when you feel like there’s something missing in your makeup look, trust us, it’s the Kohl that’s not there. Meet the product that’ll make your Middle Eastern roots pop out and make your eye makeup enhanced and unique.
