There are advantages to a classic, wood-clenched eye pencil versus a liquid liner. FACE atelier Kohl Eye Pencils are easy to use and because the colour goes on dry, it can’t bleed into fine lines or wrinkles like a liquid liner. The tip of a FACE atelier Kohl Eye Pencil can always be sharpened and because the colour is dry, they’re impervious to bacteria, last longer and are easier to use.

You need a classic lip pencil to define your lash or waterline.

Always begin lining with a sharpened pencil. And it’s easier to line if you pull the skin at the eyes outer corner.

To soften the tip to smudge, you can rub the tip in your fingers; put the tip near a light bulb for a short time or give it a blast with your blow dryer. Angle the pencil, using the side of the pencil when you want a thicker line.

Too much liner makes the eye appear smaller. To make your eye look larger, only pencil one-half to two-thirds on the top and bottom.

Pencilled lines can fade after a long day but you can increase their longevity by setting your pencilled line with a similarly coloured eye shadow. For black eyeliner, use FACE atelier Carbon eye shadow.

Black can be too harsh for women with light skin or hair. Line with FACE atelier’s Brown Kohl Eye Pencil for a softer, more feminine effect.

A cotton swab is your best friend if you make a mistake. A lightly moistened swab – face cream works too– will clean it up without bleeding into the rest of your eye makeup.
