Pencils & Eyeliners
Make-up
Sublimate your eyes: Eyeliner or eye pencils?
To intensify and awaken your eyes, eyeliners and pencils are the most common products. But is there really a difference between the two? Pencils are ideal for intensifying and enhancing your eyes. When it comes to colour, there are no rules: it's all in the application to avoid a too bland or tired effect with brown, or on the contrary too harsh with a black pencil... And for a more graphic and/or retro effect, eyeliner is the perfect product!
How do I use eyeliner or pencil correctly?
The rule for successful eyeliner or pencil strokes: don't rush! There are different types of eyeliner: the felt-tip, ideal for beginners, the kohl format and finally the brush, which requires a little more dexterity. Here's our practical guide:
- The first step is to apply an eye primer. This ensures that your liner stays put and doesn't run. You can complete the look with a neutral eye shadow to even it out.
Then place your pencil or eyeliner on the lash line and draw a thin line from the outside to the inside of the eye. To make sure you don't go overboard, always find support (leaning your elbow on the edge of a table or sink, for example) and look straight ahead.
It's up to you to vary the thickness of your line: more or less intense, with or without a comma!
Looking for a smoky effect? You can use a brush or cotton bud to slightly blur the line :-) Best used with a pencil, of course, as gel eye liners don't fade.
