Cosmetics can do wonders! The images created by makeup artists are often real works of art. But if you know how to paint your eyes with a pencil, then you can easily make yourself a good make-up at home. Let's learn about the main rules.

How to learn to beautifully paint eyes with a pencil

When drawing your eyes with a pencil, try to keep them wide open and do not strain your eyelids. To do this, lower the mirror on the table and look into it from top to bottom. If it is difficult for you to draw a line of the same thickness, start drawing it from the middle of the eyelid, moving towards the bridge of the nose. And in the second stage - extend it to the outer edge of the eye. Don't be afraid to rest your cheek on your palm and use the little finger of the same hand to pull the skin over your eyelids.

Black pencil - step-by-step photo instruction

Not every girl can beautifully draw the eye contour with a black pencil. But don't despair if you are one of them. The following photo tutorial will help you quickly learn this simple art:

First you need to apply a base on the eyelid. Depending on the style of makeup, neutral or, conversely, bright shadows will do.

Before drawing the eye contour with a pencil, you should slightly pull the skin of the upper eyelid. This will smooth out all the bumps and small wrinkles that can interfere with drawing.

In order for the arrow to turn out to be even, makeup artists advise first to put several points at regular intervals.

With smooth movements, combine all the dots into one line. You need to start drawing it from the inner corner of the eye.

Having reached the outer corner of the eye, draw the arrow a little further. Visually, it should resemble a small tail narrowed towards the end. Try to draw thinly - you can make the arrow wider at any time, while narrowing it down is very problematic.

When applying a pencil to the lower lash line, you also need to slightly pull the eyelid with your fingers.

When painting the lower eyelid, make a thin line and slightly bring it up. Blend the arrow on the lower eyelid to make it look softer.

Apply a pencil at a short distance from the inner corner of the eye - where the lacrimal glands are located. A few drops of liquid - and the pencil will flow or smudge.

For an expressive make-up, professionals advise applying a line of small thickness to the inner eyelid from above and below.

Touch up your finished makeup. Small flaws can be corrected with a cotton swab.

A white pencil will help visually enlarge the eye. On the inside of the lower eyelid, you need to carefully draw one thick line with it, and then shade it a little. When choosing a white pencil, look at the texture: it should be soft. To make your eye makeup last longer, choose waterproof pencils that are washed off only by some cosmetic products.

Pencil kajal

Kayal is used specifically for eyeliner along the line of the inner eyelid. It stays on well and doesn't smudge. And the presence of antiseptic substances helps not to injure the sensitive mucous membrane during the eyeliner process. Kajal has a creamy texture and is very different from regular pencils.

Beige kayal allows you to visually make the eyes bigger and look fresher.
The black kajal is perfect for creating the smoky-eyes effect. It makes the look expressive, however, the eye from the side will look narrower.
Kayals of bright colors emphasize the make-up, but they need to be carefully selected for a specific tone. For example, turquoise kayal looks great against brown shadows.

How to make your eyes look bigger

Women with big eyes are known to be more attractive to men. But what if nature has not rewarded you with an enviable shape? Let's learn how to make eyes bigger and visually "open" them with a pencil:

The main secret is in the eyeliner. It should be done along the edge of the upper eyelid along the lash line. The closer to the outer edge, the thicker.
Eyeliner inside the eyelid with a blue, white or other light shade pencil will visually make the eye section larger. Dark eyeliner - on the contrary, will narrow it.
