Purple makeup
First of all, eye makeup in pencil technique requires proper eyelid preparation.

They should be applied to the inside of the eyelid. Don't miss the corner. After that, a white pencil is applied to the eyelids, and our previous step will make it more contrasting. With a pencil, draw a curved line that runs towards the center from the inner corner. The space that has formed must be completely filled with a white pencil. After that, to make the purple pencil makeup technique (you can see the photo below) more saturated, take a small flat brush and use it to apply white shadows to the eyelid. You can choose mother-of-pearl, as they will add brightness. Now you can take a pencil with a different color. Since this makeup is in purple, it is better to choose berry or burgundy. They need to paint over the outer corner of the eye with short strokes, after drawing a line, which will be a continuation of the lower eyelid. Blend the pencil with a flat brush, trying not to go beyond the line that was drawn first. It's time for the purple shades. They need to fill out a pencil form. It is worth driving them in very carefully, while stretching to the inner corner. For contrast, you can add black to the outer cornershadows. Take a fluffy brush and blend the top edge of the shadows with it. To make the makeup more natural, you need to pick up some matte white shadows on the brush and apply them under the eyebrow, and then blend them. Don't forget the lower eyelid. On its inner corner, apply some white shadows, and on the outer - purple. Cover the mucous membrane with a white pencil.

Correct base building
It should be remembered that if you are going to do makeup in a pencil technique, the most important thing is to create the right base. It is very important to apply mother-of-pearl to the places where the pencil lines will then be shaded. This will not only add beauty, but also help to make everything perfect, simple and fast. You can choose any shadows that have a silky pearl base. It is very important to apply them in a thin layer. The form for the future make-up must be started from the drawing of the lower eyelid. This technique was created in order to lift drooping eyelids, so the lines must go up. The pencil should be shaded with a small brush, while doing everything with soft movements.
Rules of pencil technique
- Choose only those shades that are perfect for your skin. Remember, no makeup will look beautiful if the colors are chosen incorrectly.
- All lines should be shaded as well as possible.
- Even though you will need to blend the lines eventually, they need to be drawn very evenly at first.
What does it take to create the perfect pencil makeup?
If you think that you will need a lot of professional products, then you are very much mistaken. You will need:
- Shadows with a metallic sheen.
- Soft pencil.
- Sequins (if youwant to add unusual makeup).
- Eyeliner.
- Ink.
Which tools to choose?
For pencil makeup, you will need not just a pencil, but a specific one that will be soft enough, but not spreading. Today, LaCordi's Eye Liner Pencil is the perfect option. Its price is quite affordable (about 138 rubles), so you can buy pencils in several shades. There are a lot of different colors in the palette of this company, but do not choose black (unless you do smoky eyes), as when blending, the makeup will turn out too dark.
It is very important to have a good sharpener if you want to use your pencil more than once. Also pick up special brushes. For beginners, there are two options. One should be elastic and small, the second - a little more. The Novara, Sigma, NYX and Coastal Scents brands are very popular among professionals. They can be purchased at exhibitions or on the Internet. No less important is pearlescent pigment and mica. Remember that, unlike shadows, mother-of-pearl does not give a shade, but only a glow. Mica is a special glitter that helps to add a touch of quirkiness to your makeup.
