What color eyeliner for my eyes?

Eyeliner is important!

Eyeliner and eye pencils are of the most well-known and beloved makeup products, which are never missing from our vanity. From the classic black to the more usable brown, an eyeliner can both enhance the color of the eyes and change their entire shape.

Eye pencils come in many colors and textures (satin, matte, with glitter), so you can choose the one that suits you best. They can be worn from morning to night to accentuate your look.

We usually think that eyeliner is only used as a line, on the top or bottom of our eye. In fact, eyeliner can be applied in more ways than one. In addition, the shade of the pencil can enhance the color of our eyes.

How to wear eyeliner?

Here are some helpful tips on how to apply eyeliner.

1. Assistant, before you apply the eyeliner

If you have trouble applying liquid eyeliner, you can use an eye pencil as a guide.

Start applying the eye pencil on your upper lid, with your eyes open and looking straight ahead. Prefer to make the shape you want with your eyes open so you can see exactly the result step by step. Once you’ve completed your desired shape, continue with liquid eyeliner.

2. Base for your shadows

For intense eye make-up looks, you can use your eye pencil as a base. Essentially, this particular technique has been used smokey eyes and is done in the following way: We place a soft eye pencil on the upper part of the eyelid, and then we erase it well upwards with an eye brush.

If you want to make the result more steady, apply an eyeshadow over the pencil. You can experiment with matte, satin, glitter shadows, depending on your preferences. Choose Korres Eyeliner for its velvet texture!

3. Linear, to emphasize the look

With your favorite color, outline the upper part of your eyelid (or the lower one) in the shape you want. For a more consistent effect, apply an eyeshadow in the same color directly on top.

This particular technique can be applied in many ways: close to the roots of the lashes for a more natural look (with a brown or black pencil), or outwards (or upwards) with some intense color (blue, green, red or another).

4. All over the face (as a lip liner)

The eye pencils can also be applied to the lips as they are both ophthalmologically and dermatologically tested. As long as you have seen the indications on the label, you can also apply them as lip pencils, so you can experiment with new and colorful looks.
