Eye Pencils

A long-lasting eyeliner pencil does not smudge in hot weather, does not settle into eyelid creases, and maintains makeup quality even after several hours of wear. It is a convenient, versatile product suitable for any application technique and for all eyelid skin types.

How to apply eyeliner pencil correctly?

To make eye makeup look striking and the gaze expressive and mysterious, it is important to know how to apply eyeliner pencil correctly, following a specific sequence:

• Apply a base. The base refers to matte eyeshadows that make the eyelid skin more receptive to the pencil. With a base, the line stays sharp for a long time and won’t transfer onto the skin.
• After applying the base, begin drawing the lines. To get clean and even lines, start from the outer corner of the eye and move toward the inner corner. Then, slowly work toward the inner corners.
• Don’t forget the lash line; it should be filled and defined properly.
• Apply consistent pressure on the pencil across all areas of the eyelid. For more intensity, you can press slightly harder on the outer part of the eye.
• If sharp lines or bold wings don’t suit you, you can gently smudge the pencil, which softens the look and makes the makeup more delicate and harmonious.
• If you are doing a smoky eye look, use special brushes to blend the product and create smooth edges.

Types of eyeliner pencils

Traditionally, eyeliners are divided into the following types:

• Hard pencils. The core of this pencil is quite firm, so lines are difficult to smudge or erase. Hard pencils are ideal for tightlining and creating sharp, defined lines.
• Soft pencils. Also called smudge pencils. They glide smoothly and effortlessly onto the eyelid, are easy to blend with fingers or a brush, and are perfect for creating a soft, smoky effect that adds charm and romance to the eyes. Soft pencils allow you to create a captivating and mysterious smoky eye look that has remained popular among modern fashionistas and professional makeup artists for years.
• Kajal pencil. A special pencil for the waterline, with a creamy, slightly moist texture that feels a bit oily to the touch. Since kajal is applied to the waterline, it contains natural ingredients, antiseptics, minerals, and other hypoallergenic substances. You can also use kajal as a base for eyeshadow.
• Pencil eyeliner. Essentially, this is no longer a pencil but a liquid liner in a plastic casing that resembles a marker. The pigmented liquid is applied with a thin brush or felt-tip applicator. Pencil eyeliners allow precise lines. The product is convenient but more demanding than a regular pencil, as any uneven lines are very noticeable.
• Shadow pencil. Has a soft, pleasant texture with vibrant colored pigments in the core. Shadow pencils apply well without a brush, but to achieve soft transitions, using a blending brush is recommended.
