Expressive eyes – one of the main details of a stylish look. Therefore, when making makeup, both daily and evening, special attention is paid to them. Arrows give a special expressiveness to the look – clear or shaded, and painted lash line. Used to achieve the desired effect as a contour eyeliner. Despite the large selection of alternative cosmetic products, this product is always popular both among professional makeup artists and among girls who do makeup at home.
Eye pencil is an indispensable assistant for everyday and festive looks
The fashion for eye makeup arose a long time ago. Even the ancient Romans and Egyptians used natural remedies to create contours. With the invention of cosmetic pencils, doing makeup became easier and faster, and new techniques appeared.
So, in the 20s, girls followed the examples of actresses and drew arrows, trying to give the shape of the eyelid a cat-like curve or roundness. In the 70s, punk style and dramatic make-up came into fashion, and black eyeliner became a must-have in the cosmetic bags of fashionistas.
The early years of the 2000s became the era of smoky eyes, which led to the popularity of soft pencils that were easy to shade. The 2020s were once again marked by changes – Thin lines and arrows have come into fashion, which can be achieved using eyeliner – cosmetic marker with a thin applicator.
However, regardless of the makeup technique, we can choose an eye pencil for each of them. Decorative cosmetics are available in an assortment.
What types of eye pencils are there
The main difference between different cosmetics is the hardness of the lead. Based on this parameter, it is customary to distinguish them into 3 types:
- Soft. This is a shading eyeliner, it goes on smoothly, gives thick lines, blends well, and is suitable for creating a smoky eye. But it is problematic for them to create thin, clear arrows, and they are easily erased
- Medium hardness. This is a wax-based eyeliner that is suitable for creating classic winged wings and can be sharpened well.
- Solid. These include modern liner markers, which make it possible to draw thin arrows and clear lines.
There is also a separate category – kayaly. This is the name for universal pencils that shade well and do not smudge. They give a bright color and are suitable for drawing between eyelashes.
The hardness of the lead directly affects the ability to create makeup using different techniques, so we recommend having several types in your makeup bag at once to experiment with makeup and looks.
How to choose pencils
There are several indicators that should be taken into account when purchasing:
- Pigmentation. The brightness of the color depends on this indicator.
- Finish – matte, pearlescent or with shimmer.
- Durability – depends on the hardness of the lead, its type and accessibility for shading.
- Type: regular wood, mechanical or liner.
Wooden ones require regular sharpening, so you should immediately buy pencil sharpeners. Mechanical ones are equipped with a “twisting” function. rods, they do not need to be sharpened; usually these are products with a soft lead. The liners work on the principle of a marker; they have an applicator tip impregnated with pigment.
It is also important to pay attention to the composition. It must be safe, and even better – contain vitamins and caring components. You can buy such eye pencils on the Zola website.
