Pencil-kayal is considered the most resistant among all species. It is ideal for creating arrows, only it needs to be shaded as quickly as possible, otherwise the kaial will have time to harden.
The liner is a cross between a pencil and a liquid liner. Outwardly, he is a bit like a marker. Such a pencil clearly and exactly draws arrows. Even a beginner can use it.
As for color, it all depends on the color type and type of makeup: day, evening and festive.

Girls with a light complexion is better to prefer gray, brown, beige, sandy shades for every day.
If you decide to use a black pencil in make-up, it is not recommended to combine it with color pencils.For black it is best to pick up a pencil of a natural shade - gray, beige, pinkish.

The real trend is the use of a single pencil in day 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 the same makeup.
How to use?
For drawing a pencil there is a technique. By repeating the procedure several times, a beginner can easily become a professional.
Before eye makeup, you must thoroughly cleanse the skin of the face for flawless application. After the area of application of shadows should be laid - it can be a shadow or a special base for the eyelids. The base will prevent the pencil from rolling down.
Such a trick, like a white pencil for the mucous of the inner eyelid, will help make the look more expressive.
In the event that you want to restrict yourself to make-up only with pencil-drawn eyes, you should put on the eyelid and on the area of the lower cilia a little bit of beige color, which makes the eyes a little more expressive.
In order to draw a clear line, it is better to fix the hand, leaning your elbow on a hard surface. It is necessary to sum the eyes from the outer corner to the inner light stroke.
Then, using a bevel brush, shade the product to make it look 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 eye color and the overall color type of the face.
To fix the pencil, you can lightly powder the lines, so the makeup will last all day.
The greatest difficulty in creating eye makeup cause arrows. Adhering to the following simple rules can cope with this task perfectly well:
- Be sure to use a support, displaying arrows. So the line will be as smooth as possible. You can lean on the edge of the table or prizercalnuyu shelf;
- Lightly pull the eyelid to the side, so the arrow will be more beautiful;
- First you need to draw a very thin line, each time drawing it all brighter. The bold line drawn at once 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, not too short, but not theatrically long. The optimal length is no more than 0.5 cm from the corner of the eyes;
- Always point the arrow up a bit to avoid a sad look.
How to delete?
If the uneven line from the usual pencil can be wiped with a cotton swab or sponge, then a special product will be needed for the waterproof product. Waterproof cosmetics should be washed off with milk, tonic for this type of product. If suddenly there was no special tool on hand, you can try dipping a cotton swab in any fat cream or oil and erase the unsuccessful eyeliner line.
Professional make-up artists use a tonal tool to correct traces of irregularities.
