Oriental beauties always amaze us with their mysterious and expressive eyes... In this they are helped by some tricks and cosmetical tools, about one of which we will tell you today.

Antimony and its beneficial properties

Antimony (or kohl) is a means that no oriental lady can do without. Antimony not only helps to make the image expressive and bright, but also takes care of the eyes, eyebrows and eyelashes. Natural antimony of bright black color will help girls with bright eyes make them more expressive, and give dark-eyed beauties extraordinary attractiveness and depth of gaze.

Due to its powdery texture, antimony can be applied thin layer on the eyelids and mucous part of the eye. She can change the shape of the eyes, eyebrows, make arrows, visually enlarge the eyes. In addition, this product strengthens the hairs of the eyelashes and stimulates the growth of new ones. It is useful for cleansing the eyes and for vision.

Dry antimony is applied to the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid and left overnight. It clears the eyes, gives clarity to the gaze, whitens the eyeball, strengthens the muscles of the eye, the lacrimal canal. After this procedure, the eyes look rested and healthy.

Antimony color

Natural antimony can be of three colors: bright black, Moroccan dark green and again Moroccan, but already gray. As for the rest of the shades, they are obtained through the use of natural or synthetic pigments. But these options are not suitable for long term use. The choice of colors is quite large, so you can certainly choose for yourself the best option... So, on our website is presented huge selection antimony for the eyes, in particular, we suggest you pay attention to the natural black saturated color.

As we have already said, pure antimony is black, but the Moroccan type can be either gray or dark green. In oriental makeup, black paint is usually used, since women of this type have dark skin and brown eyes... For brown-haired women and blondes, dark green and gray kohl are suitable, which will give light eyes depth, clarity and attractiveness.

For different types of makeup are taken different types antimony. In addition, you can make both clear "arrows" and shade the product.

Kohl species

There are several options for antimony for eyes: powder, pencil and antimony cream. The most common type is powder. I must say that the finer the structure of the powder, the better it is. With the regular use of such antimony, a woman seems to always wear a little makeup, even if she has absolutely no makeup on.

For storing antimony from powder, there are special vessels made of wood, which are called kohliyas.

There is also antimony for children, which is almost pollen without impurities. In order to properly apply such a remedy on the eyebrows or eyelids, one cannot do without wooden sticks, it will not work to do it with iron or glass. Baby Kohl is suitable for children from one year of age and older.

The second type of antimony is different colors... For inexperienced ladies, this is the most acceptable option, since it is quite easy to apply such a product.

Antimony cream is usually applied with a brush as an eyeliner. But the inner mucous eyelid is blackened with dry antimony or pencil for more attractive makeup.

The most convenient packaging for a cream is a tube with a stick, where camphor oil is often added. Antimony is applied with a stick not only easier than with a brush, but also adheres better, fills the entire space between the eyelashes. Camphor oil gives an additional healing effect in the form of tingling. As a result, tears are released from the eyes, which helps to moisturize and cleanse.

You get used to this effect pretty quickly, but if it is difficult for you, then you can use such antimony, for example, every other day or, for starters, a couple of times a week.

Antimony preparation

The easiest way to apply it involves the use of special wooden sticks that are embedded in the kohliya.

Before applying the antimony, you need to prepare the cochlia itself, for which we take out a wooden stick and immerse it in some vegetable oil. It is recommended to hold the stick in oil for two days, then remove it from the container and blot it with a clean napkin to remove excess oil. Then pour dry antimony into the kohlia and insert the stick.

Remember that the stick does not need to be washed after use. It is cleaned once a year. Shake the wooden stick before applying makeup to remove excess powder. Otherwise, the product may get on the cheeks.

How to apply antimony?

Antimony is applied to the eyelids in the same way as regular eyeliner for the eyes: cover the eyelids and draw a neat line between the eyelashes with a stick. You will get an inner line, and the base of the lashes will be dark. Another way: you need to wet the stick with water, dip it in antimony and draw bright and clear lines outside the eyelids.

To tweak the brows, simply run the stick along the hairs while blending the antimony.

If you have antimony cream, then it is applied to the eyes with a thin brush and shaded along the bottom or upper eyelid... And with a pencil, you can draw lines not only on the eyelids, but also on the mucous membrane.

Experimenting with antimony and trying different kinds makeup, you will find for yourself suitable option and color. Believe me, makeup with this tool is quite an interesting process.

Kohl is easily washed off the face, and with absolutely any means intended for removing makeup, even regular soap or oil. At the same time, antimony is extremely resistant to atmospheric precipitation. Therefore, feel free to wear it in the rain, in the snow, and do not worry about your makeup deteriorating.

Apply antimony morning and evening to the inner eyelid as a healing and prophylactic agent and your eyes will always be healthy, fresh and rested. You will stay Eastern Belle despite the bad weather and regardless of the time of day!

Pharaoh's eyes shone powerfully with antimony summed up. (I. Artemieva)

Ismid: this is a stone of black antimony, it is brought from Isfahan, and this is the most best view ismid, and it is also brought from the side of Morocco.
The best type of ismid is quickly crushed, the pieces of which are shiny, and inside it is even, not contaminated with anything.

The name “antimony” comes from the Turkish word “surme”, which means “rubbing”, “blackening of the eyebrows”.
“Kohl (khur, kuhl, kahal, or kohol) is a black substance that the women of the Arabian Peninsula use as eyeliner and eyeliner. Antimony eye perfect oriental makeup and healthy eyes.
To make your makeup look oriental, you definitely need more black! Blacken brighter eyes and eyebrows. Because Eastern women are naturally black. Even their eyelashes look like they already have an eyeliner.

Since ancient times, women of the East have used antimony for the care and treatment of their eyes. It is known that in more early times women also prepared different formulations of antimony for different purposes, for different effects makeup. Each woman had 5-6 types of antimony with different compositions, which were separately used for daytime eye and eyebrow makeup, for a particularly festive and bright makeup, for therapeutic effect at night, as well as to relieve eye fatigue and cleanse several times a week.Eyes supplied with antimony, especially if they are large and expressive, seem somewhat more attractive than without it.
In addition to making the eyes brighter and larger, kohl is believed to also protect them from disease. Its black color helps fight the dazzling sun of the desert, so kohl is used by both women and men. Kohl is antimony powder. In addition to dark, it is also bluish-white. The powder can be purchased at Middle Eastern grocery stores. Do not buy kohl if it is poorly milled. Kohl pencils used in modern cosmetics industry, for applying real kohl are completely unsuitable. Antimony is a fine powder that resembles mascara and is applied to the edges of the conjunctiva of the eyelids. The powder was originally composed of antimony sulphides or carbon black, nowadays often replaced by lead sulphide.Antimony for the eyes is used by both men and women. It has no contraindications and shelf life. Used dry. Antimony can be applied to children from half a year, since it is this antimony that does not have grains and does not cause allergies.

Method of using antimony powder: for correct and easy use antimony, applying it to the eyelids and eyebrows, it is necessary to use only wooden sticks, other glass or iron means cannot apply antimony correctly. For this, it is better to use special Arab wooden vessels of Kohlia, this vessel is made of wood and a stick made of the same tree is built into it, half a bottle of antimony must be poured into such a vessel and used constantly. There is no need to wash the stick after each use. After a year of use, you will be able to wash the stick and put it back into operation.The vessel is designed for easy application of antimony and for its storage.For correct application antimony, for the first time, you must first prepare your stick, then lower half the stick for 2 days in any vegetable oil, it is better if it is olive, coconut or argan oil, after removing the stick, get wet on a napkin and then lower it into a vessel with antimony.This procedure is done once, to start the process of use, so that the antimony is absorbed faster into the structure of the tree. Next, lower the prepared stick from the vessel with antimony, the stick must be slightly shaken off before applying it to the eyelids, to avoid shedding excess particles of antimony on the cheeks. Next, antimony is applied to the eyelids, in the way that eyeliner is usually applied or an eyeliner is used, you can very beautifully edit the eyebrows, for this, draw a stick between the hairs, blending the line or vice versa making a clear line. If you want a clearer and brighter line when using, you can run the tip of the stick under the stream of water, just a little and dip it again in antimony and draw a line, this will give a brighter effect.

IMPORTANT: If you wear contact lenses, you must apply cohlp before inserting them (paint does not harm gas permeable lenses).

Take your wand in right hand to apply kohl to the right eye. Dip it in powder. Keep the wand parallel to the eye: start at the inner point of the eye, go between the eyelids and TOUCH THE EYE SIGHTLY (it doesn't hurt). Dip the stick one more time, take it in left hand and move your left eye. You can also work with the eyebrows.
Your eyelids will turn black even at the very roots of the eyelashes, so that there will be no white skin. Attention: the kohl is waterproof, but will spread out in the rain. A tiny amount of powder will last for a couple of years, and it is much healthier to use it than commercial cosmetics, because of which you are afraid for your eyes. The excess powder will collect in the corners of your eyes and you can remove it. kohl gives the impression of much less "artificiality" than ordinary eyeliner.After applying antimony, the eyelids turn black even at the very roots of the eyelashes, so that no white skin remains. At the end of the day, excess powder collects in the corners of the eyes, it just needs to be removed.

Arabic makeup impossible without gold, ocher and terracotta shades. The skin is dark with a golden sheen, the tan-colored blush emphasizes the sculpture of the face. Draw the eyes like Cleopatra's, only a little softer. We completely circle the eye with antimony, drawing almond-shaped... Shadows from golden brown to black.

Stage makeup for oriental dances.
First you need to apply a moisturizer to your face, and a foundation on it. And for those who already have wrinkles - color foundation take no darker skin color. We cover the bruises under the eyes (if any) with a yellow corrector, red spots on the skin with green. As a general rule, all lines go up from the center of the face. These are the eyebrows, the outer corners of the eyes, the corners of the lips. The most difficult thing was to accept the eyebrows, not drooping, but flying up to the temples - but they were the ones who radically changed the face - they opened their eyes. Then they raised in the same way outer corners eyes, and the inner ones were slightly lowered down. If in natural state the corners of the lips looked down, then the shape of the lips was slightly redrawn to the shape of a slight half-smile.

One more general rule - more shine and bright colors- everything neutral and calm from a distance of the scene is lost. They used gold and silver for the eyelids, white and silver eyeliner on the edge of the lower eyelid, mother-of-pearl - under the eyebrows, shine in the middle lower lip... The lips were clearly outlined - there was an option even with a black outline - for the stage it is possible. Pronounced blush was not used for everyone - if the girl is young, and the dance is sad or dreamy - the cheekbones are only slightly touched with blush to match the lipstick. Eyelashes at the master class were painted with mascara, but it was mentioned that false eyelashes are very often used. It can be a strip with eyelashes of the required length, which is easy to glue yourself - here it is important not to overdo it and not take wing eyelashes for show ballets. Or you can glue from three to five tufts of cilia to each eye in a hairdresser. They look almost natural and last for several days if handled carefully.

Initially, antimony was made for Egyptian queens... The substance was produced by soaking the fabric with oils and burning it. Oils and tinctures were added to the resulting soot medicinal herbs.

It is assumed that antimony was originally produced not as a decoration, but as a medicine. Women in Egypt used the substance to cure eye diseases. There is a belief according to which newborns need to paint their eyes so that an evil spirit does not enter them and does not take away the crumbs.

Substances for the manufacture of antimony in different countries:

Egypt... It is the birthplace of antimony, where it is prepared by dipping pieces of muslin (a thin cloth) into a paste of sandalwood. After that, the canvas is dried for 24 hours and burned in a castor oil lamp. The resulting soot is injected Castor oil before getting porridge.
South asia... In Bengal, cactus leaves are used to produce antimony. They are covered with an oily film, which, when burned, turns into a sticky and greasy soot. This type of kajal can be used to treat eye diseases in children. Women South Asia use a product to care for eyebrows and eyelashes.
North Africa... Here antimony is made from crushed galena. It is lead sulphide and is not desirable to use. IN this tool many toxic substances that can cause cancer and allergies.

The composition and characteristics of the components of antimony

Now antimony is mainly imported from India. In this country, it is not enshrined at the legislative level to write the composition of cosmetics, so it is difficult to say what the kajal consists of. Traditionally, there are several components in the composition of antimony, the basis is ismid - a black stone.

Composition of blue Indian antimony:

Ismid... A stone that is imported from Morocco. It is ground into powder with a mortar and injected additional components.
Castor oil... This ingredient is added to hold the grains of sand together. It makes the antimony slightly sticky to the touch. It is thanks to the oil that the product does not crumble and lays well on the eyelids.
Kapoor kachari... This plant is natural antibiotic and anesthetic. In addition, it improves blood circulation and reduces under-eye circles.
Petrolatum... Used as a base. Thanks to this component, antimony does not crumble. A thin film of petroleum jelly locks in moisture and prevents drying out of the eyelids.

Contraindications to the use of kohl:

Age up to 6 months... Children under six months should not use antimony, despite oriental traditions... Children under this age have undeveloped eye muscles, so any coloring matter can affect visual acuity and color perception.
