This year I have written many times about how not to paint age eyes with a pencil. And in the comments they often write that the pencil does not hold at all in front of their eyes. Kayal is washed off after a couple of minutes, and floats and imprints on the eyelids. I perfectly understand women, makeup becomes untidy and spoils the image.
I have collected for you all the most common mistakes when working with kayal and tips on how to avoid the situations above and extend the durability of the pencil. For those who want to read my article about errors in eyeliner, I will leave a link at the end of the article.
Council number 1. Just change your pencil
Not all pencils are suitable for the mucous membranes of the eyes. In order for the pencil to adhere well to the mucous membrane and not flow anywhere during the day, you need to use pencils on which it is written Kajal. They are more resistant and pigmented.
There are, of course, pencils that are suitable for mucous membranes, but they do not have this cherished word on them.
Kajal, this complicates the choice a little. How do you know if he will hold on? Only test on the hand - these are wax, soft pencils in a plastic case.I will show examples of my favorite pencils for mucous membranes in the photo. I made a separate article about them and tested them for durability. You will also find the link at the end of this material.
Council number 2. Sharpen your pencil
Yes, the advice seems to be as primitive as possible. But due to the fact that the pencil is waxy, it may dry out a little when it is left without a cap for a long time. Therefore, a pencil can draw poorly and be transferred to the mucous membrane, you start to paint with pressure, injuring your eyes.
Make it a rule to sharpen your pencil before each use. Automatic pencils have a sharpener on the back (where is the sponge). Pencils in a plastic case can be sharpened with a regular pencil sharpener, as long as it is sharp.
Council number 3. Duplicate the pencil
I like to use this method when I need super durability. For example, on the street, because there are constant winds in Kaliningrad, which makes your eyes water.
After I applied the pencil, I take a small flat brush, shadows in the color of kayal and with applying movements I duplicate the shadows on the mucous membrane.
This method is said to be unsuitable for sensitive eyes and lens wearers. I belong to both the first and the second. Personally, everything is going well for me.
