Let's figure out why makeup artists always have a beige pencil in their briefcase and how you can use it in your work to open up your eyes, emphasize the desired shade in your makeup, or give expressiveness to your eyes.

Open your eyes

A light beige pencil can be safely used to visually make your eyes appear wider. To do this, you need to line the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid with the product, and also, if desired, emphasize the inner corner of the eye.

As a proofreader

A beige makeup pencil can also be used as a concealer if you are looking for a specific shade or thick texture. Using a pencil you can disguise redness, small pimples and other imperfections.

To complement makeup

Of course, a makeup artist cannot do without a beige pencil when doing makeup in brown and cream tones. In this case, using a universal beauty product, you can enhance the shade of shadows or eyeliner, highlighting both the lower and upper eyelids with a pencil. If you wish, you can easily mix pencils of different shades in one makeup.

As a base for shadows

A beige pencil can also act as a base for eye shadow, creating a base before applying dry textures. This way the shadows will look more colorful and brighter, and will also lie smoother and surprise you with their durability.

To highlight eyebrows

A multifunctional pencil in a natural shade will also serve to highlight and emphasize the eyebrows. Use it for the bone under the eyebrow and blend it well, creating a light highlight effect, like a highlighter.

To correct the shape of the lips

Why else does a makeup artist need a beige pencil? You can even correct your lips with it! If you need to change their shape, use a pencil and then dust it with powder so that the clear line is not visible. After this, apply lipstick of the desired shade.

For soft arrows

Creating a soft eyeliner is another way to make good use of a beige eyeliner. Once applied to the upper eyelid, you can enhance the line with eye shadow or eyeliner, or leave your eye makeup as natural as possible.

For smokey eyes

Pencils in dark beige shades can even be used to create a smokey eye in brown tones instead of gray and black pencils. By the way, this kind of makeup is now very popular, as it corresponds to all the latest trends.
