Gel eyeliner

Women's eyes - this is the most expressive and exciting part of appearance. Not surprisingly, many makeup artists and cosmetologists pay attention to this particular part of the face. Properly executed makeup always emphasizes the color, depth and beautiful shape of the eyes. This can be done with the help of shadows, mascara, eyeliner.

Eyeliner helps to highlight the eyes against the general background.

It can be liquid and applied with a brush, or used in the form of a special pencil. Until recently, the choice between the solid and liquid shape of the eyeliner was quite difficult, but already now a rather interesting novelty appeared in the shops - a gel pencil.

If you still touch on the theme of choice between different options for eyeliner, then immediately it should be noted that gel eyeliner - this is the best option for women who are going to apply such makeup for the first time.

The fact is that liquid eyeliner options require a certain skill. Not every master contrives the first time to apply the desired line along the century. To do this, calculate the correct amount of funds on the brush and the degree of pressure on it. Movement should be as accurate and fast as possible so that the line is even.

Already in one application gel-based pencil wins, even if it is compared with a classic solid pencil. It is great for training because the applied line is much easier to control and you can always draw the "wrong" areas. You can sharpen such a tool like any dry stroke you are used to using a special sharpener or blade.

It is much more difficult to do something wrong or get rid of irritation if you use such a pencil. The fact is that its neck is softer compared to the standard one. It is almost impossible for them to scratch the thin skin of the century, so even if you make any careless pressing, the worst that you face is a more saturated line.

Even if you apply make-up with this tool on the upper eyelid, then after rain or snow it will not get into your eye, but only slightly spread over the skin of the eyelid. But others, which have become familiar to us, eyeliners can easily flow.

From a visual point of view, liquid eyeliner always won, because using it produced much richer and more pleasant colors, which could not be achieved with a pencil. However, the new gel-based products show quite impressive results.

The classic version of the pencil is the neck with soft shades. However, color is far from the only thing you should pay attention to when choosing a gel pencil. When buying, use the following tips:

• Body material. As a rule, it is wood or plastic. Cheap counterparts and fakes can be made not from a single piece of wood, but from compressed sawdust. This is bad because such a pencil can easily break during use. The plastic case must be quite durable, otherwise it can also bend and deteriorate;
• Notice how the cap closes the stylus. If he moves out or falls off, then the gel pencil can quickly dry out and deteriorate;
• The final shade does not always coincide with what the manufacturer promises you. Be sure to try the pencil on the skin of the hand;

• Drawing a test line on the wrist or hand, pay attention to its character. A frequent lack of low-quality gel pencils is the formation of lumps. The line should be smooth, continuous;
• The main feature of such pencils is the softness of the stylus. However, it should not be too pronounced. Otherwise, the lines will be inaccurate and fall ill on the skin of the eyelids;
• Be sure to choose waterproof pencils if you are interested in make-up quality. But do not forget that for its removal will require a special tool.

One of the basic rules of eyeliner, which even professional makeup artists adhere to, is moderation and conciseness. You should not be zealous, otherwise the makeup will become too vulgar and tasteless. Try to follow the simple advice of experts:

• If you are new to self makeup, It is best to make a simple and neat eyeliner - a line along the upper eyelid at the base of the eyelashes. You can draw it along the entire edge or on the outer 2/3 century. Please note that the gel pencil may be too soft and unusual for you. If you are afraid of strong pressure, but you want to achieve a uniform and saturated liner, then you can slightly powder the eyelids before drawing lines;
• If you find it difficult to draw a straight line along the eyelids, then you can cheat a little. Put on the surface of the eyelid a few control points, which will pass the eyeliner line, and then connect them together. Try to make the points barely visible and do not stand out in the future;
• If you have thick, but uneven cilia, you can somewhat simplify the task. Instead of the line, apply a lot of small dots at the edge of the eyelid so that they touch each other. Visually, it will look like a thin solid eyeliner;
• Never circle the whole eye contour with a dark pencil. Because of this, they will become less visually and makeup will have the exact opposite effect.

At first it may seem that recommending the purchase of a brand gel pencil is a publicity stunt. But in fact, it is not, because the manufacturer's reputation is a guarantee that the pencil passed a specialized test and can be used on such a sensitive area as the skin around the eyes. The most reliable products are:

• Avon Mark "Color Accuracy". Positive feedback about this company is most often noted bright vivid colors and the quality of makeup;
• Avon "SuperShock" - Another series, which has become a kind of classic. Pencils are pretty high quality, soft, lines are easily applied to the skin of the eyelids;
• L'Oreal "Infaillible". The reviews emphasize lightness and richness. The pencil of this company can be easily shaded and used as a base under the shadow;
• Provoc - more budgetary, but rather high-quality version of gel pencils with a large selection of colors and shades;
• Poetea "Aqua". Classic French cosmetics. Pencils gently and evenly fall on the skin of the eyelids, have rich colors and good water resistance.
