Cosmetic pencils are different: semi-soft, soft and hard. They differ in their function: pencils for the eyebrows, eyes, lips. There are pencils that help to eliminate flaws on the face, they are called corrective.
The eyebrow pencil is harder. It helps to create the desired shape of the eyebrows, to apply more subtle strokes.
For the lips are suitable semi-soft pencils that correct the shape of the lips. The contour pencil on the lips does not allow the liquid lipsticks to spread. Well, for the most delicate skin of a person - a century, use a soft pencil. It is easy to apply and used for both thin strokes and as shadows.
What are pencils?
These pencils are almost identical in composition with lipsticks. They use natural oils, waxes, vitamins and fats, as in lipsticks, but they contain more hardeners with a high melting point. When choosing a pencil, note that the trace that leaves the pencil must be smooth and clear, without the impregnation of the crystals, the lead should slide gently and easily, without unnecessary pressing. Some pencils leave a very bright, soft, and rather fatty trace, and other contour pencils are characterized by a soft, but delicate trace. Note that it is not hard, otherwise it will negatively affect the delicate skin of the eyelids. However, the lead should not be too soft, since it may turn out that instead of elegant piping you will get a fat blurred line.
Of course, a soft pencil for the eye contour must necessarily be hypoallergenic, so as not to cause irritation in very sensitive skin.
