Brown eyeliner - a means for applying makeup. That is, it is a great way to emphasize natural beauty. It is necessary in order to show all the advantages of your face and hide its imperfections without any difficulty with a limited arsenal of cosmetics.
Brown eyeliner - versatile makeup
So, more details. Brown eyeliner is an indispensable fighter for their correction, as well as the formation of the ideal shape of eyebrows and lips. In the latter case, it is only necessary to apply it as thin as possible. Then blend to the center of the lips and lightly powder. You will look great without shine or lipstick.
We do everything beautifully
A brown eyeliner must be used very carefully. Makeup should be both noticeable and natural at the same time. No war paint!
Not every woman can paint her eyes with a pencil the first time. Most often the fault is the incorrect definition of your eye shape. But that is not all.
Wood or plastic?
A brown eyeliner must also be selected correctly. It can be with a plastic or ordinary wooden case. Plastic, as a rule, is equipped with a collet mechanism. It is very convenient to use. The length of the stylus is adjustable as you need. And sharpen it constantly is not necessary. However, wooden pencils have their advantages. Thanks to the membrane, microorganisms cannot multiply, that is, the risk of conjunctivitis and other eye diseases is significantly reduced.
The case is made of pressed sawdust or a solid piece of wood. Preference should be given to the latter. In pressed pencils, the stylus breaks more often. For example, when falling to the floor. In addition, sharpening pressed pencils is a little inconvenient.
The plastic case may differ in different quality. Pay particular attention to the material. Plastic should not be soft and bendable. It is very important.
Hard or soft?
Brown eyeliner reviews get diverse. In many ways, they depend on the degree of softness of these cosmetics. This affects the sharpness and thickness of the lines.
Hard pencils resemble liquid eyeliner in effect. The contours are as thin and sharp as possible. True, the line is drawn quite difficult. It is necessary to exert a certain pressure on the pencil. After applying the product, the line can no longer be adjusted. However, having trained well, you can make just perfect arrows.
Ideal option is medium hard pencils. Using them is much easier. The lines are smooth and thin. They are sharpened easily.
Soft pencils are great for beginners. But do not forget that they can break and lubricate. In addition, it is difficult to sharpen them. The lines are obtained, of course, very bright, but often and too thick. However, sometimes just such an effect is necessary.
In general, decide what you need. Try a pencil in practice. Practice and enjoy the result.
Water resistance
What else should I look for when choosing a brown eyeliner? Photos of eyelids failed in the catalogs of cosmetics always look good. However, in real life, not everything is so smooth. Indeed, much depends on weather conditions. In the hot season, in rain or snow, you must use a waterproof pencil that can withstand moisture. The same applies to those ladies who often cry.
Structure
Smoky brown eyeliner allows you to achieve a very beautiful effect. But sometimes the composition of this tool may be far from ideal. This must include natural ingredients - hardeners, fats, oils and waxes. Vitamins are also desirable and preferred. The smallest possible number of various artificial additives and harmful substances (such as petroleum products) should be present. For women prone to allergies, special hypoallergenic pencils are produced. In a word, be careful.
Several varieties
Light or dark brown eyeliners have some other differences. Your choice will also depend on this point.
Contour pencils are intended for drawing thin lines and contours. These tools are quite solid. Therefore, you must be able to use them.
Shading pencils can be used instead of shadows, making soft transitions, drawing very delicate lines. But subtle contours you will not work. Pencil stylus is too thick.
If you need to draw a contour along the inner edge of the eyelid, use a kayal. These pencils are very soft. They are not framed in a wooden case in order to prevent small particles of wood from entering the eye.
The combination of pencil and eyeliner is an airliner. His brush is placed in a special sleeve, the cartridge of which is filled with paint for application on the eyelids. The lines are very beautiful and clear. Easy to apply. But the paint dries too quickly. This tool is used by professionals.
And another variation is the iddefiner. Felt-tip pen in essence. Liquid paint impregnates its flexible core. The tip of it is filled automatically. One drawback is the same as the previous product: the paint dries very quickly. Therefore, the color of the arrow may turn out to be uneven.
Do not forget!
A black-brown eyeliner, as, indeed, any other, must be well examined when buying. And try it out.
To begin, remove the cap. It should be easy to open and close, but it is enough to sit tight.
Take a look at the stylus. On it, the presence of plaque, crystals and other inclusions is unacceptable. Otherwise, the product is damaged. In addition, it should not be too soft either. But too hard too. Otherwise, you will scratch the delicate and thin skin of the eyelids when applying the product.
Draw a line on the arm. Good branded stores provide samplers for this. The contour should be clear, smooth, without interruptions and lumps. After the pencil is tested, you need to leave the store for a while in order to assess the skin's reaction to cosmetics. The purchase is best done the next day.
Make sure you are comfortable using the pencil. Also evaluate whether it matches the color of your eyes and skin tone.
Remember to check the expiration date. Expired health products can cause considerable harm.
The cost of a quality pencil cannot be too low. Nevertheless, it is also not worth overpaying for a promoted brand. Just pay attention to the cosmetics of well-established manufacturers.
Eye shape
And now about a very serious moment. It is necessary not only to know what a brown eyeliner should be. To whom it suits - that's what matters! And how to make up - too. Much depends on the shape of the eyes - on the cut and fit.
Of course, there is no need for girls with beautiful eyes of a classical form to correct it. Just emphasize their expressiveness and attractiveness. The perfect make-up will be a thin contour drawn along the eyelash growth line.
Owners of large, slightly convex eyes are appropriate to emphasize their expressiveness with a brown arrow on the upper eyelid. In this case, you need to raise the eyebrow line.
Girls with narrow small eyes need to raise their eyebrows as high as possible. Eyes fail - a light brown pencil, not too saturated color. Shadows need to be selected in such a shade that would be in harmony with the tone of the pencil.
The eyes, deep set, approach visually with increasing space between them and the eyebrows. This effect can be achieved by raising the line of eyebrows and summing up the lower eyelid, starting from the iris of the eye.
Eyes bulging are balanced with the help of a characteristic fracture of the eyebrows and arrows a little darker shade than eye shadow. Thin arrows are applied to the upper eyelid. The bottom is indicated only with a lighter pencil.
For narrow eyes of the Asian type, bold dark arrows on the upper eyelid, ending a few millimeters to the outer edge of the eye, are suitable. The lower eyelid is brought in, starting from its middle, ending at the outer edge.
To correct wide-set eyes, limit yourself to a full line along the lower eyelid. Close planted should be let down in the last third of the upper eyelid. The line above the outer edge of the eye is practically not drawn.
A clear and even line at first may not work right away. First, try to practice on a piece of paper.
In the end
By the way, a brown pencil for brown eyes is just perfect. Although it can be used in other cases. The main thing is to choose the right tone. Under the color of skin, hair, nail polish, clothes, etc.
When you apply the contour, keep your eye slightly ajar. Thus, you can see every roughness of the ciliary zone.
To keep the arrow level, also rest on a hard surface with your elbow, and on the cheek with your palm. Draw a line in two steps. First, to the outer edge of the eye from the middle of the century. After - to the bridge of the nose from the middle of the century. Depart from the inner corner by approximately one third and bring the line to the corner of the outer.
You can shade the line with a simple cotton swab, a special brush or sponge. The arrow to the ciliary border should fit as tightly as possible. With such a neat make-up, the eyes will look especially elegant.
Arrows can be of any thickness. It all depends on the shape of the eyes and on your preferences. Just don't overdo it. To avoid the effect of sad eyes, point the arrows on the upper eyelid slightly up. Just above the real contour in the outer corners.
