How to paint over the space between the eyelashes with a pencil?
An eyeliner is a very versatile tool. It will help create a clear, bright eye contour, and can visually increase the density of cilia. It turns out that this is a fairly simple task that will help avoid tattooing and save money. It remains only to find out how to choose the right cosmetic for the eyelids and how to paint over the space between the eyelashes with a pencil.
Which pencil should you choose?
The skill is useful for those who have too light, short or sparse eyelashes. Thus, painting the space between the eyelashes will make the eye makeup more intense, and the look will gain depth.
When most women hear about the technique of dyeing the lashes, they imagine kayal floating along the contour of the mucous membrane of the eye. But no.
The bottom line is to fill in the empty space between the eyelashes on the line of their growth with a special pencil.
Basic principles for choosing a pencil:
- the pencil should be soft (or gel);
- the shade of the cosmetic product should preferably match the shade of the mascara.
True, experienced makeup artists believe that it is ideal to paint the lash line with a gel-based kayal. The thing is that it is softer than other pencils and gives off pigment perfectly, and also holds better and practically does not stain the eyelids. However, there is a drawback - it is very difficult to completely wash off a gel pencil from the eyelids.
It is more convenient to draw the lash line with a well-sharpened pencil. If possible, kayal should also be water-resistant.
Some women wonder about the need to use a soft gel pencil.The fact is that a solid tool, when drawing, will simply cause discomfort, damage the skin and will not cope well with its task. Too soft a simple eyeliner will immediately leave its mark on the lower eyelid.
In isolated cases, girls use liquid eyeliners or a felt-tip eyeliner. But again, the choice of a product may turn out to be a failure due to the poor quality of the product.
