Whether it is on the eyelid crease, the entire eye, or under the brow, using eyeliner offers the wearer long lasting waterproof color that can be layered. There are an infinite number of simple ways to use eyeliner as eye shadow. For all applications, it is recommended to dust translucent powder over the entire eyelid. The powder will help to spread, blend, and set the color. Using the side of the pencil, gently shade in the area you want as shadow. Apply the pencil a bit darker than you want the final color to be. Then take any sized concealer brush and blend the color. Small brushes are preferable because they are easier to control. Use short, light strokes blending the edges up & away from the majority of the color. This technique will spread the color to look like powder shadow but will have the benefit of being long lasting & waterproof.
Depending upon how light or dramatic you want the shadow, you can blend several colors using this technique. Use pencils as a base to hold powder shadow too. The powder color will look more dramatic and will adhere to the pencil base beautifully. Be creative and use the pencils as both liner and shadow together. Once all the color is applied, dust again with translucent powder to set the color. To buy the Healthy Eyeliner Pencils talked about here, Visit www.PencilMeInCosmetics.com
