Used for centuries across various cultures, it is typically applied around the eyes to enhance their appearance, create a dramatic look, and protect against the sun's glare. Kohl stone is often ground into a fine powder and mixed with oils or other binding agents to create a smooth paste or stick form for easy application. Its deep black color adds intensity to the eyes, giving them a mesmerizing allure. Additionally, in some cultures, kohl stone is believed to have medicinal or spiritual properties, contributing to its widespread use beyond mere cosmetic purposes.
