Black eyeliner

Among the large number of different cosmetic products used by women to emphasize their beauty and attractiveness, there have long been indispensable, which have become an integral part of any women's handbags. One of these things is black eyeliner. It is considered a real classic, which has not lost its relevance for many years. However, as it turns out, not every woman knows all the features, advantages and nuances of using such a simple makeup tool.

The first problem that an inexperienced woman can face when deciding to do professional makeup for the first time on her own is the right choice of eye liner. It turns out that there are many types of this simple tool, and each of them is used exclusively for specific purposes, as it has its own characteristics in structure.

In fact, learning to understand this range is not so difficult. To date, there are the following types of eyeliners:

• Plain outline pencil used for accurate drawing of arrows and thin lines. It is harder than other types, so its use may require some dexterity. The neck is sharp enough for him, so he can easily injure the thin skin of the eyelids, so you should be extremely careful;
• Thicker and softer stylus at the shading pencil. It is also often called shadow pencil. This is due to the fact that it can be used instead of standard shadows, since such pencils are ideal for creating various smooth transitions and soft lines. However, you should not try to draw an arrow with their help or perform a light full eyeliner - they have too thick slate pencil;

• Pencil kaya designed for the inner century. It has the softest stylus and very fine sharpening, so that you can easily draw a thin contour line along the inner edge. A distinctive feature is also the case material - it is never wooden, since small particles of wood can easily get on the mucous membrane of the eyelid or in the eye;
• The relative novelty is the so-called idefeiner. At its core, it is very similar to the marker felt by many. The tip of such a pencil is made of a flexible and elastic material, which is automatically impregnated with black paint that fills the inner sleeve. Its main advantage is ease of use, but much depends on the quality of paint, which can dry out and crumble very quickly;
• Ailiner least of all resembles a standard pencil. The principle of its operation is very similar to the IDEFINER; however, a thin brush is used as the tip. Due to this, the a-liner combines all the advantages of a pencil and eyeliner. However, in this case, low-quality paint can spoil everything.

In addition, standard eye pencils differ in the stiffness of the stylus. It is worth paying attention to, if only because it will be necessary to work with thin and sensitive eyelid skin. Thickness and saturation of the lines also depend on the density and stiffness. The following types of pencils are poured, depending on this parameter:

• Hard type The quality of the obtained lines can be compared with those guaranteed by any liquid liner.They are more subtle, neat, clear and saturated, however, they are more stable than in the case of a liquid agent. In fact, it is hard pencils that are used to create perfect arrows. However, this requires some training, as for the formation of the line you need to exercise a certain pressure on the stylus. And at the same time, care should be taken not to injure the eyelid;
• Medium hard pencil. This is the best option for beginners, because it allows you to achieve smooth and precise lines, and at the same time is simpler and safer to use;
• Soft pencils most often recommended for women and girls who do not have the experience of self-eyeliner using solid means. Its main drawback is that the lines may be slightly blurred, and the stylus often flakes and breaks, besides it is somewhat inconvenient to sharpen it. On the other hand, soft pencils are suitable for creating thicker lines with smooth transitions, shading.

It is simply necessary to purchase a charcoal black eyeliner, since this option is a universal classic. Thin black arrows will look equally perfect on both brunettes and blondes. Makeup with a black neat eyeliner is well suited for a formal and casual look, or for an unusual evening make-up with sparkles and other decor tools.

For some women, the best option is a black-brown pencil, which is also very convenient in terms of selecting a general makeup style. This is possible due to the fact that the brown color is softer than the coal color, therefore various smooth transitions become possible.

Of course, the variety of colors is not the only thing that should determine your choice. The main criterion is always the quality of such a cosmetic product. In order to make sure of it, pay attention to the following details:

• One of the main criteria is the pencil body. It should be made from a solid piece of wood, and not from sawdust as an analogue. An exception may be kayal or idfeiner, since the cases for them are made of high-quality plastic;
• The cap must be very tightHowever, do not press the stylus, otherwise it will quickly break or deteriorate;
• In any self-respecting store there are always "testers". Do not miss the opportunity to use them, check the quality of colors and lines - they should be clear, uniform, without any inclusions or lumps;
• Pay attention to slate. If you notice a white pigment or bloom on it, then the product has deteriorated, or its components have expired;
• Before buying does not hurt to read reviews about a particular manufacturer.

Using a pencil correctly is not so difficult. In order to make the circled eyes look neat and spectacular, makeup should be applied in stages. Please note that the obligatory steps are cleansing and base coat, only after them there is a direct overlay of make-up. Be sure to degrease the surface of the eyelids, and then apply a little powder on them, so that the lines are clearer and more dense. After that you can paint and shade with a pencil, following a certain style.
