The kajal says that it won’t smear however I attempted to take it off with no chemical and it came of. I simply needed to see the real staying power of the kajal on the skin, this rubbing won’t occur with your eyes. so don’t stress the kajal won’t smear, I don’t think you will rub it like that in your eyes. I connected the kajal and I will be straightforward I was not charmed by the shading. Possibly I was expecting more from it, it resembled the typical kajal to me . I won’t recommend it to anybody.
