Kayal
Eye pencils called “kayal” are the easiest and most common option for shading the inner eyelid. As a rule, these pencils have a soft and greasy texture, and their use is very comfortable for the mucosal surface. The durability of “kayal” depends on individual characteristics; some lucky women can walk around with black mucous all day, while for others, after half an hour, due to the natural moistening of the eyes, “kayal” can wash off in some areas.
How to paint big brown eyes correctly
Chocolate-colored eyes look gorgeous even without makeup, but if they are cut correctly, like a diamond, they will sparkle even brighter. Basically, makeup depends on the shape of the eyes:
- round eyes seem bulging, so your task is to draw an arrow, starting from the inner corner of the eyes and gradually moving it towards the temples, expanding the shape;
- almond-shaped eyes require almost no adjustment, so it’s easy to paint large eyes of this shape correctly, just by choosing the right color scheme;
- wide-set brown eyes can be visually narrowed by shading the area under the eyebrow and carefully shading the inner corners of the eyes;
- Close-set brown eyes visually widen by painting the stripe under the eyebrow with light shadows and marking the inner corner of the eyes with the same shade.
The basic rule for makeup for large brown eyes: less pearl and bright flashy colors. Brown eyes themselves look deep and rich, so it is important not to overdo it with the shade of shadows. The classics of the genre for such eyes are beige, golden and green shadows. But here it is important to take into account shades of brown color:
To properly color large dark brown eyes, choose shades of lilac, milk chocolate, silver gray and beige-golden tones.- Olive, light green, turquoise, herbal, beige and light brown colors are great for brown-green eyes.
- For large brown eyes with a honey tint, makeup in purple, emerald or chocolate shades is ideal.
It is important not to forget to match the shades of your makeup to the color scheme of your outfit, otherwise you will look ridiculous. It is also necessary to take into account skin color, because it is not only dark brunettes who have brown eyes! Pay attention to the time of day, because rich makeup, which looks quite appropriate in the evening, in daylight will not only lose its charm, but will also make your image sloppy. During the day, give preference to matte shadows in calm, natural shades.
Advice: according to makeup artists, it is better not to use shades of terracotta color when making makeup for brown eyes: they will make your look tired and painful.
However, do not neglect mascara, which gives volume and length. The peculiarity of makeup for large eyes, regardless of their color, is that light colors reveal the look even more, while dark ones make it a little heavier.
Eyeliner
Unlike the previous product, eyeliners are not always suitable for such a delicate area as the inner eyelid. However, if you try to apply the pencil to your hand and feel that it has a soft, creamy texture, such as Urban Decay Glide-On pencils, you can use all the variety of shades of such pencils on the mucous membrane without harm to your health.
For example, line your inner eyelid with the same color as your eyes, and the light reflecting off the liner on the inner eyelid will make your eyes appear brighter.
Gold and bronze pencils look very beautiful on the eyes, suitable for any appearance.
Basic rules for perfect eye makeup
To ensure that eye makeup does not disappear throughout the day, it is very important to take care of the right tools for creating it.
To begin with, we recommend purchasing a high-quality base or primer. Thanks to their use, makeup will be more durable, and shadows will not begin to crumble or smudge. In addition, the shade of the shadows will become more saturated, which is really important for many. By the way, these products can sometimes be replaced with pastel shadows with a creamy texture.
The next thing you need to create good makeup is quality brushes. Some women still use the applicator that often comes with the palette. This cannot be done, since it is simply impossible to create good shading with its help. But it is precisely this that is the main rule of luxurious make-up.
Therefore, we recommend purchasing expensive brushes that you can use for more than one year. But if the budget is limited, then you can do makeup even with three brushes. For example, a flat brush, a blend brush, and a pencil brush.
Of course, you will definitely need shadows for makeup. Take a closer look at their quality and choose only well-pigmented eyeshadow palettes. This will allow you to bring almost any idea to life.
You can complete your makeup and highlight it with a pencil, eyeliner and mascara. These tools should be chosen based on personal preference. But still, pay attention to ensure that the mascara does not fall off and is long-lasting. After all, there is nothing worse than small black dots under the eyes. In turn, the pencil should not be too hard, as it will not be convenient to use.
Gel eyeliner and setting with shadows
And this is already “heavy artillery”, sometimes used by makeup artists if they need to make the most durable outline of the mucous membrane. Apply gel eyeliner as described in the previous paragraph, and then use a small natural bristle brush to set it with dry eyeshadow of the same shade.
To prevent shadows from accidentally getting into your eye, put them on the brush and remove the excess onto your hand by running the back of the brush along the back of your hand. Then, using slapping movements, go over the entire inner eyelid, additionally securing the gel eyeliner with shadows.
Before you start doing your makeup, make sure you understand what to do. We showed how to line the mucous membrane in this video.
Correcting eyes with makeup
With the help of cosmetics you can correct any appearance.
How to apply eye makeup correctly, taking into account the shape:
- To make up small eyes, you need to use shadows in a light palette. The shadows should be lighter in the inner corners and darker in the outer corners. Makeup in the style of “Smoky eyes” is the ideal solution for small eyes!
- Large, protruding eyes can be made a little softer by using eyeliner. The emphasis should be on depth, so in this case, dark shadows are applied to the middle of the upper eyelid, shading along the edges. Mascara should not be used in excess, as fluffy eyelashes will only worsen the “problem.”
- Round eyes should be painted expressively, focusing on the crease of the upper eyelid. It should be darkened, and the surface of the eyelid itself should be made light. In this case, arrows are simply necessary - they will visually “stretch” the eye.
- Widely spaced eyes should be painted so as to reduce the distance between them. This can be achieved by applying dark shadows to the inner corners, blending towards the outer corners. There is no need to draw arrows, you can only outline the contours of the eyes.
- You can correct close-set eyes using the classic option: darken the outer corners, lightening the tones towards the inner corners of the eyes. Arrows are a must here! You don't have to spare mascara in this case.
- To properly apply makeup to drooping eyes, apply a dark shade under the inner edge of the eyebrows. The middle of the eyelid needs to be lightened and the arrows carefully drawn. The lower eyelid does not need to be lined with either pencil or eye shadow.
Application technique depending on the characteristics of the eyes
Makeup cannot be the same for everyone. He should highlight the main advantages of a woman and obscure with them insignificant shortcomings. As soon as you draw an arrow a few millimeters longer or shorter than normal, the overall appearance deteriorates. How to correctly paint your eyes with a pencil, depending on what features they have?
Regular
If the eyes are large enough, located at a normal distance relative to each other, and the corners are at the same level, then classic eyeliner is suitable. Natural beauty and expressiveness will be emphasized by a thin line drawn along the growth line of the lower and upper eyelashes. If the eyelashes grow unevenly, then arrows are drawn between them with dots, which from a distance look like a solid line.
External corners at top
This shape is natural for oriental women. Makeup will be great if you draw a thin line on the upper eyelid as close to the eyelashes as possible. To do this you will need a black pencil with a thin tip.
External corners from below
To visually lift the outer corner of the eye, just draw arrows correctly. Using a dark colored pencil, begin to draw a line from the inner corner along the eyelash growth line. Having reached the middle of the upper eyelid, the line breaks off from the eyelashes and continues higher to the corner on the outside. Raising the arrow too much is also not recommended. On the lower eyelid, the line starts from the middle and ends at the very corner.
Large and convex
How to paint your eyes with a pencil if a woman has bulging and large eyes? Classic eyeliner will suit her. An expressive look can be emphasized with a dark-colored arrow drawn on the upper eyelid. Makeup artists also recommend raising the eyebrow line.
Narrow and small
To visually enlarge your eyes, you need to raise your eyebrow line as high as possible . The pencil should be a light shade. The shadows need to be matched to the eyeliner to enhance the effect.
Deep set
How to properly line your eyes with a pencil if they are naturally hidden deeply? You can hide a defect if you visually increase the space from them to the eyebrows, the line of which should be raised. The arrows on the lower eyelids will help to “raise” the eyes from the depths. They must originate from the iris.
Asian
Asian eyes are narrow, so they are “opened” using a dark and bold (soft) pencil. On the upper eyelid, the arrow does not need to be brought to the outer corner. It is better to step back a few millimeters from it. On the lower eyelid, the arrow should start from the middle and go to the outer corner.
Get used to it
Correctly shaped eyebrows will help hide a flaw. Makeup artists recommend shaping your eyebrows with a break almost above the outer corner of the eye. The break is emphasized with a pencil. The arrow on the upper eyelid should not be thick. Its color depends on the choice of shadows. It should be several shades darker. The lower eyelid should be emphasized with a gray pencil.
What types of pencils are there?
Cosmetic pencils are similar in composition to lipstick. The pencils contain vitamins, fats and wax, beneficial microelements and oils, and all this is fixed with a hardener. When choosing a pencil, you need to take into account its softness and clarity of the line. The pencil should leave a clear, uniform mark without pressing hard. A pencil that is too hard will irritate and injure the eyelid. An excessively soft rod will not allow you to draw an even line; it will smudge and “float”. In addition, the hypoallergenic nature of the pencil plays an important role in order to prevent an allergic reaction on the delicate skin of the eyes.
On the cosmetic market, pencils are presented in wooden and plastic packaging. For a pencil in a wooden frame, you need to choose a suitable sharpener so that it does not disturb the structure of the soft core. Some pencils come complete with sharpeners, brushes, brushes, and applicators. There are also double-sided pencils, one side of which is used to highlight the contour, the other as shadows.
Pencils in a plastic case are considered more convenient and practical. Their consistency is similar to lipstick, and their mechanism of use is the same as lipstick, thanks to which the lead always remains thin. To protect the rod from destruction, a special cap is included in the kit.
When purchasing a pencil, you must visually evaluate its quality. There should be no plaque on the lead; its presence indicates that the pencil was stored in inappropriate conditions and its quality may be questionable. Do not buy a pencil blindly; use the tester pencils presented in the store to better understand the properties of the product.
Find the right eyebrow pencil color
It would seem that choosing the color of an eyebrow pencil is quite simple. If you are a brunette, then just take any brown shade. In fact, you can't do this, otherwise you risk making your eyebrows unnaturally dark, which will ruin your entire makeup. With age, eyebrows tend to fade. The hairs become gray and gradually lighten, so an ordinary brown pencil will not work for you. Be sure to choose a shade that will naturally highlight your brows. You can replace it with gel or fondant. They are easier to apply, but at the same time they look more natural and last longer on the eyebrows.

How to choose?
The basis of any harmonious makeup is correctly selected cosmetics; this rule does not bypass eyeliner. The modern beauty industry offers a huge number of different options for how to apply eyeliner.
They come in traditional wood, plastic, and even equipped with a collet mechanism. The most convenient and popular is the mechanical one, since the length of the lead can be adjusted at will and you don’t have to constantly sharpen it to draw straight lines.
However, despite the undeniable convenience of a mechanical pencil, only classic wooden ones have one very significant advantage - their shell does not allow harmful microbes that provoke the occurrence of various eye diseases to multiply. It is only important to check before purchasing whether the cap is firmly on. Such instruments are made either from a single piece of wood or from pressed sawdust. The first option is considered the highest quality, since the wood is much stronger than ordinary sawdust. Quality affects the sharpening procedure: the stronger it is, the easier it is to sharpen.
In fact, such a makeup tool is the best way to highlight your eyes.
The right tool should not bend easily, and the color of the lead should be uniform. Before purchasing, it is also recommended to carefully study the composition so that it includes various anti-inflammatory elements, since the skin of the eyes is considered the most delicate and sensitive. We must not forget about such a characteristic as rigidity. Eyeliner with a pencil with a soft texture is ideal; their only drawback is that they do not tolerate moisture, so rain or tears can significantly spoil the makeup. This is where hard pencils come to the rescue; painting with them is much more difficult, but the durability of such products deserves respect. Makeup artists still advise using medium-hard tools at home - this is the golden mean among pencils.
Eyeliner: how to apply correctly?
Cosmetologists advise not to use pearlescent oily shadows and eyeliners, waterproof mascara and other products that are difficult to remove from the surface of the skin for everyday makeup. Moreover, it is not recommended to apply eyeliner to the inner surface of the eyelash row. This is especially true for those who suffer from increased dryness and sensitivity of the eyes. It has been proven that particles from cosmetic products can negatively affect the quality of the tear film, changing its properties and further increasing the dryness of the mucous membrane.
So, eyeliner - how to apply it correctly? This question interests many women. Here's what experts say about this. It is safe and correct to apply eyeliner to the outer part of the eyelash row - this way its particles practically do not get into the eyes. Make sure that the tip of the pencil is well sharpened - this will make the line more accurate. Be sure to remove all makeup from your eyes before going to bed. Contact lens wearers need to put them in first and then apply makeup. Before going to bed, you should first remove contact correction products, and only then wash off the cosmetics.
Eyeliner harms women's vision when applied incorrectly or excessively. If you follow the requirements for safe use, then using eyeliner will only emphasize the beauty of your eyes without endangering their health.
Disadvantages of eyeliner
Like any cosmetic product, liquid eyeliner has its disadvantages:
- To get straight arrows, you will need to practice for a long time.
- The chemicals contained in the product may cause irritation to the mucous membranes.
- The liquid may dry out. If you leave it open often, it will quickly become unusable.
However, other cosmetics also have similar disadvantages.
Important! You need to buy only high-quality cosmetics in special stores, since the use of low-quality cosmetics can affect eye health and skin condition
