1. Which is better, eye shadow pencil or eye shadow?

1. From the appearance

Eyeshadow pencils are packaged in pen-shaped packaging, while eyeshadow is usually packed in boxes after the powder is compacted and packed in a pan. In comparison, eye shadow pencils are more convenient to carry when going out, and are also very good for touch-ups.

2. From the texture

The texture of eyeshadow pencils is moist and soft, while the texture of most eyeshadows is powdery. Eyeshadow pencils are easier to apply and generally have a pearlescent effect, while eyeshadow comes in pearlescent, matte, sequin and other textures.

3. From the perspective of durability

Eyeshadow pencils are not as durable as powder eyeshadow because of their wet texture. If it is summer, it is recommended to use eye shadow powder or cream eye shadow.

4. From the makeup point of view

The makeup effect of eye shadow pencils is pearlescent and moist, while the eye shadow powders are mostly matte. The makeup effect needs to be judged based on the texture of the eye shadow, but most eye shadow pencils have a pearlescent effect.

2. How to use eye shadow pencil

Step 1: Use a light-colored eyeshadow pencil to fill the eye sockets, and then spread it evenly with your fingers before it dries.

Step 2: Choose an eyeshadow pencil with an accent color and apply it a little more at the crease of your double eyelids, starting from the end of your eye. Girls with double eyelids can apply about 5 mm more at the end of their eyes. Also apply 5 mm more to the second half of the lower eyeliner.

Step 3: Use a pearlescent brightening eyeshadow pencil to apply on the area under the eyes. Don't apply too much so that the bags under the eyes appear too blingbling. Start applying from the beginning of the eye towards the middle and apply lightly.

Step 4: Finally, draw eyeliner and apply mascara.

3. Is it better for beginners to use eye shadow or eye shadow pencil?

Generally speaking, for girls who are just learning how to put on makeup, it is relatively easier to use a regular eyeshadow palette. Because eye shadow pencils are very awkward to use, especially for girls who are not skilled in the technique, it is very easy to cause uneven application of eye shadow. If you replace the eyeshadow palette with an eyeshadow pencil, the eyeshadow color will not be able to be blended, resulting in a piled-up makeup effect on the eyelids, which looks very ugly. So this point is something that every girl who is learning makeup must pay attention to.
