They are then larger and rounder than average. Makeup will consist of reducing their volume by playing with the right colors and correcting their rounded shape by stretching them. We will emphasize the look with a line of black or brown pencil along the upper and lower lashes . Do not hesitate to draw a slightly wider line on the mobile eyelid to reduce its size.
Charlotte's tip : To further accentuate this effect, you can also try using black pencil on the edge of the lower and/or upper eyelids.

Questions about how to use your eye pencil correctly? Our team will answer you!
How often should you moisturize your eye area?
The eye area is a particularly sensitive area. Therefore, it is essential to moisturize it properly. To do this, we recommend applying your eye cream morning and evening .
Extra tip: sleep with a pillow at your feet. Since poor circulation is the main problem around the eyes, this position allows blood to flow smoothly from your feet to your head.
I have blue eyes , what color should I use to highlight my look?
It doesn't take much to make blue eyes look their best. Sometimes a simple stroke of eyeliner and some mascara are all it takes to make them look their best. To find out which colors enhance blue irises, we'll use the color wheel.
What's that? 🔍 Each color has its complementary color, the color that will create a real contrast and make your iris stand out.
The complementary color to blue is orange-yellow. So an orange eyeshadow blended on the eyelid with a A brown or gold pencil along the lash line will be enough to enhance your look.
Charlotte's tip 💡: Avoid using tone-on-tone shades. For blue eyes, blue eyeshadows are a no-no. If you're eyeing blue makeup, opt for dark blue smoky eyes so they contrast with the color of your iris!
What is the difference between an eyeliner and an eye pencil ?
Achieving a successful eyeliner stroke involves one key step: choosing the right product. Between liquid eyeliner, felt-tip pen, and pencil, there are many options.
Organic brush eyeliner : Perfect for beginners! Drawing with the brush attached to the cap allows for extreme precision. The liquid formula also ensures excellent hold and a glossy finish.
Organic felt-tip eyeliner : Its felt-tip applicator allows for flawless lines and control of smears. From the first stroke of the felt-tip eyeliner along the upper lash line, the pigments dry and therefore do not cling to the mobile eyelid.
It is also quite possible to create an eyeliner line with an organic eye pencil : It is the best ally for novices in eye makeup!
Charlotte's tip: if you're still having trouble, you can blend the pencil line with a blending eye brush to give your line a smoky-eye effect.
Is it possible to use eye pencil as an eyelid base ?
Thanks to their creamy texture and intense color, organic eye pencils blend very easily and can even be used as an eyelid base for more intensity: ideal for smokey eyes!
