Waterproof eyeliner

To create the perfect make-up, a modern woman uses a huge arsenal of tools. The pencil is able to emphasize the natural beauty of the eyes, correct the cut and shape, and make the look more expressive.

For active sports, visiting a sauna or swimming pool, relaxing on the sea, only a waterproof eyeliner is suitable - makeup will remain stable in any weather and various circumstances.

What characteristics should a moisture resistant pencil have:

1. Maintain stability in rainy, wet weather;
2. Do not spread and do not wash out when swimming in the pool, the sea, when visiting the sauna;
3. Do not smear with hot hugs, active rubbing of the eyes with your hands;
4. Able to withstand the most touching moments of any woman's life.

Such a pencil should be convenient in drawing arrows and drawing a contour. And this means that it should be moderately soft and hard at the same time.

A high-quality product for the eyes does not dry the skin, does not cause irritation, looks beautiful and as natural as possible. Among the main components of any pencil, the following can be distinguished:

• Special silicone that mattifies the skin, giving it smoothness;
• Wax - it is from the amount of this ingredient that eyeliner is distinguished by softness and hardness (the more wax, the harder the pencil).Wax forms a film on the surface that does not allow negative impact from the outside, and also prevents the loss of its own moisture. A wax-rich pencil becomes waterproof;
• Castor oil, palm oil components. Oils perfectly nourish, moisturize, care for the skin of the eyelids;
• Various preservatives that prevent the penetration of pathogenic microbes into the product;
• Other synthetic substances.

There are several main types of pencils, their choice directly depends on the skills of a woman, as well as on her makeup goals.

The contour pencil is the most traditional version. He is in cosmetic, perhaps, any woman. Hard - for drawing clear lines, soft - better suited for smokey makeup.

The contour pencil is produced in a plastic case. It does not require frequent sharpening and will appeal to active women living in a dynamic rhythm. The wooden model will appeal to adherents of the classics, as a rule, such a pencil comes with a convenient sharpener.

A pencil can also carry the function of shadows. Pencil shadows lend themselves perfectly to shading. They can be applied immediately to the entire eyelid - such makeup will look very bright. If you slightly shade the product with a brush, you can get a smooth transition from color to color.

The kayal pencil is considered the most persistent among all types. It is ideal for creating arrows, but you need to shade it as quickly as possible, otherwise the kajal will have time to harden.

The liner is a cross between a pencil and a liquid eyeliner. Outwardly, it is somewhat reminiscent of a marker. Such a pencil draws arrows clearly and evenly. Even a beginner can use it.

As for the color, it all depends on the color type and type of makeup: daytime, evening-holiday. So, for example, if earlier a black pencil was considered universal, today such a color for blondes is a sign of bad taste. Brightly lined eyes look unnatural. Girls with a fair complexion should prefer gray, brown, beige, sand shades for every day.

If you decide to use a black pencil in makeup, it is not recommended to combine it with colored ones. For black, it is best to choose a pencil of a natural shade - gray, beige, pinkish.

Brunettes can be advised plum, black, olive, dark blue shades. Accents can be placed using lighter colors. Dark brown gamut can be recommended for brunettes with a light skin tone and eyes.

Reddish shades, brown, brick, bright yellow and green are perfect for bright brown-haired women with fair skin and freckles.

A real trend is the use of one pencil in daily eye makeup without the use of mascara. This technique is called pencil. It also looks beautiful combination of several colors of the same shade, the use of pencils of different types in one make-up.

There is a technique for applying a pencil. By repeating the procedure several times, a beginner can easily become a professional.

Before applying eye makeup, it is necessary to thoroughly cleanse the skin of the face for a flawless application of the product. After that, a base should be put on the area of ​​​​shadow application - it can be shadows or a special base for the eyelids. The base will prevent the pencil from rolling.

In the event that you want to limit your make-up to only the eyes lined with a pencil, you should apply a few beige shades on the eyelid and on the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe lower cilia, making the eyes a little more expressive.

In order to draw a clear line, it is better to fix the hand by resting the elbow on a hard surface. It is necessary to bring the eyes from the outer corner to the inner with a light touch.

Then, using an angled brush, you should blend the product so that it looks as natural as possible.

For the lower eyelid, it is best to use natural shades: beige, gray, brown.

When choosing color shades, you should rely on the color of the eyes and the general color type of the face.

The greatest difficulty in creating eye makeup is caused by arrows. By adhering to the following simple rules, you can cope with this task perfectly well:

• Be sure to use the support when drawing arrows. So the line will be as straight as possible. You can lean on the edge of the table or mirror shelf;
• Slightly pull the eyelid to the side, so the arrow will turn out to be more beautiful;
• First you need to draw a very thin line, each time drawing it brighter. A thick line drawn right away will be harder to fix;
• Make sure that the arrows are located at the very edge of the eyelashes. Left thawed patches look unaesthetic;
• The arrows should be the same length, neither too short nor theatrically long. The optimal length is no more than 0.5 cm from the corner of the eyes;
• Always point the arrow slightly up to avoid a sad look.

If an uneven line from a regular pencil can be erased with a cotton swab or sponge, then a special tool will be needed for a waterproof product. Waterproof cosmetics must be washed off with milk, tonic for this type of product. If you suddenly don’t have a special tool at hand, you can try to dip a cotton swab in any greasy cream or oil and erase the unsuccessful eyeliner line.

Professional makeup artists use foundation to correct traces of irregularities.
