Choosing Your Shade

White Eye Pencil:

• Brightening and Enlarging: Applied to the waterline, white pencil instantly makes eyes appear larger and more awake.
• Highlighting: Use in inner corners or beneath the brow bone to elevate your eye makeup.

Black Eye Pencil:

• Defining and Dramatizing: Perfect for classic cat-eye or deep, smoky looks.
• Smudging: The creamy texture makes it ideal for smudging along the lash line for a sultry effect.

Brown Eye Pencil:

• Softening and Naturalizing: A softer, more natural look ideal for daytime.
• Warming: Especially flattering on blue, green, or hazel eyes, making them pop.

Creating Your Signature Look

1. Smoky Effect: Gently pull eyelid taut and glide from center to outer corner, blending as you go. Repeat from inner corner to center.
2. Enhance Eye Size: Apply directly to the waterline for eyes that appear larger and more vibrant.
3. Pair with Eyeshadows: Use as a base under powder eyeshadows to intensify pigment and ensure a smooth blend.
