Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know
How do I create a smoky eye with an eye pencil?
Draw a line along your upper and lower lash line and blend straight away with a small brush or your fingertip, before the pencil sets. Add a dark eyeshadow in the crease for extra depth.
Can I use eye pencil on my waterline?
Yes, if the pencil is suitable for it. Black or dark brown gives an intense look, a nude or white shade makes your eyes look bigger and brighter.
How do I sharpen my eye pencil?
With a sharpener made for make-up pencils. If the pencil is too soft, pop it in the freezer for a moment so the tip doesn’t break.
