Eye Pencil is a beauty product that is in every cosmetic bag. Women began to use it a long time ago, when there was not yet such a wide variety of cosmetics, and despite the fact that now the situation has changed radically, this "magic wand" is still in trend. In order to make the make-up complete and expressive, you should definitely line your eyes with a pencil. This can be done deliberately brightly or covertly and imperceptibly. In this article, we will look at what techniques exist for working out the eyes with a pencil, as well as what nuances are important depending on one or another of their forms.
Small introduction
Despite the fact that almost all modern women are well acquainted with the basics of makeup, the question of how to line their eyes with a pencil remains open for them. Photos of models, actresses and other celebrities beckon with their attractiveness and literacy of make-up, and allbecause the eyes are well developed. Is it possible to achieve a similar effect when going to work in the morning? You can, of course. The most important thing is to find the type of eyeliner that will be in harmony with the shape of your eyes. For some women, arrows are the ideal solution, for others - completely invisible lines along the cilia, for others - graphic stripes. Therefore, first of all, you should familiarize yourself with the varieties of eyeliner techniques, and then carefully study the shape of your own.
Below are various variations of this technique, as well as instructions on how to line your eyes with a pencil. For beginners, this lesson will also be extremely useful, since, in addition to the stroke process itself, we will discuss related points that are the basics of competent makeup.
Pre-training
To apply a highlighter or bronzer on the cheekbones, you should treat the entire face with a foundation. To paint over the eyes, it is necessary to apply a base under the shadows on the eyelids. In no case should this stage be skipped, since any dye, whether it be shadows, eyeliner or a pencil, applied to “bare” skin, will begin to smear, get dirty and leak. Therefore, after you have washed your face, applied cream and primer on your face and just started to start eye makeup, immediately treat your eyelids with a base. Her tone should match your skin tone or be half a tone lighter. After the base is absorbed, both the upper eyelid (completely) and the lower eyelid are painted over with flesh-colored shadows without sparkles or a simple mineralpowder (thin layer). Such manipulations guarantee that during the day the pencil will hold firmly on the eyes, will not gather in folds and will not crumble.
Delicate work
You can draw gas with a pencil in such a way that no one will guess that you have resorted to this technique at all, but at the same time your makeup will become more expressive, and your eyes will become deeper. This type of eyeliner is called inter-eyelash, it is most often performed to create a working or light romantic look.
Now let's break it down step by step. We draw eyes with a pencil, starting from the upper eyelid, moving from the inner corner of the eye to the outer. We paint over all the empty spaces between the cilia, we do not try to make the line graphic - we just darken the roots of the hairs as much as possible. As a result, the eyes will become more expressive and open, and mascara will help enhance this effect.
Draw arrows
If you are used to wearing arrows, but eyeliner for everyday work is too much, then a pencil will perfectly replace it. You can draw your eyes with a thin and clear line, as well as a wider arrow that will emphasize the interval between the upper and lower eyelids. The most important thing is to choose the shape of the arrow that will look perfect on your eyes.
So, to get perfect arrows, how to line your eyes with a pencil? The step-by-step photo below gives a clear explanation. To begin with, we shade the space between the eyelashes and then make a clear line along the growth of the eyelashes. Thenwe bring the tail out, raising it as much as you need. Now thicken this ponytail a little and make it graphic.
Draw in a circle
If you decide to line your eyes with a pencil using this technology, be prepared for the fact that the result will be much brighter than you expect. Black contours drawn along the mucous membranes and along the edge of the skin will make the look both bold and languid, bright and mysterious. This makeup option is definitely not suitable for daytime wear, but it will come in handy at an evening event.
It is worth starting the procedure with staining the space between the eyelashes, and in this case, not only the upper, but also the lower. Then we draw clear lines along the mucous membrane - above and below. The next step is to completely circle the eye under the lower eyelashes and above the upper ones. Do not try to make the line perfectly clear - it will be shaded in the future. But definitely make sure that the strip is not too wide. Next, with the help of shadows, shade the pencil line and thickly paint over the cilia.
Basic rules and tricks
Whatever type of design from the above you choose, the vital question is how to line your eyes beautifully with a pencil so that they look neat, well-groomed, well-designed and completed. Cosmetologists shared some of their secrets in this regard:
- Don't draw straight and crisp lines in one fell swoop. Work like an artistimpressionist - apply small strokes one after another, layer, somewhere make the arrow brighter, gradually reducing it to nothing. So the result will look neat and harmonious.
- Spaces are not allowed. Therefore, all the distances between the cilia must be carefully worked out, sometimes even two or three times.
- An ideal arrow will turn out when you mark its tip with a dot. Two points must be placed symmetrically on two eyes. Now just draw a line to her.
- Too wide arrows can be diluted with flickering shadows. Just "powder" them on the area of the eyelid shaded with a pencil.
- To make the pencil fit tighter, slightly pull the eyelid.
- You can line one upper eyelid, but one lower eyelid is not allowed.
- If the line is slightly uneven, you can correct it with a Q-tip. It's a pencil, not a waterproof eyeliner.
Bring eyes with a pencil correctly beautifully - half the work. But it is equally important to choose the type of stroke that will match the shape of the eye.
Small eyes
To visually open the eye and make it bigger, draw a thin arrow with an elongated tail above the upper cilia. It is not necessary to paint over the lower eyelid with a dark color. But the mucous membrane from below should be emphasized with a milk or white pencil. So the eyes will become larger, and the look - deeper. Do not forget to fix the cilia with forceps and paint them thickly with mascara.
Big eyes
In general, make big eyesvisually smaller is blasphemy. They themselves, even without make-up, attract attention, make the image more expressive and vivid. You can make such an eye shape by painting over only the top row of cilia, without making an arrow. It will be a great option for office makeup. You can use a circular stroke type to come out into the light. Outline the eye with a black pencil, and then blend clear lines with dark shadows of any shade.
Round eyes
The number one task in this case is to make the eyelid narrower and longer. Without experience and skills, it will be difficult to achieve the desired result, therefore, if you have not previously corrected your appearance, you will have to train for a long time. Fill in all the empty spaces between the upper eyelashes and draw a thin arrow over them. Her tail should only be slightly pointing up, otherwise the effect will be the opposite. We emphasize the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid with a black pencil and, as it were, connect it to the base of the arrow.
Close-set eyes
This "problem" is common in many women. Visually, I want to make the look more predatory, "push" the eyes, and by nature they seem to be drawn to each other. Well, arrows and white shadows will help fix this. We will work only with the upper eyelid. Above the cilia we draw a thin arrow, slightly raising its tail and leading it towards the temple. At the same time, it is worth starting to draw it not from the inner corner of the eye, but from the middle, as if ascending from the eyelashes. The inner cornerthe eyes are worked out with white shadows.
