Charlotte's tip: To further accentuate this effect, you can also try a line of black pencil along the edge of the lower and/or upper mucous membranes of the eyelids.

Questions about how to use your eye pencil? Our team has the answers!
How often should I moisturize my eye area?
The eye contour area is particularly sensitive. So it's essential to moisturize it properly. To achieve this, we recommend you apply your eye contour cream morning and night.
Bonus tip: sleep with a pillow around your feet. Since the main problem around the eyes is poor blood circulation, this position allows blood to flow from the feet to the head without worry.
I have blue eyes. What color should I use to enhance my look?
It doesn't take much for blue eyes to be sublimated. Sometimes a simple line of pencil and mascara are all it takes to do them justice. To find out which colors enhance blue irises, let's take a look at the color wheel.
What is it? 🔍 Every color has its complementary color, the one that will create a real contrast and make your iris stand out.
Blue's complementary color is orange-yellow. An orange blush blended on the eyelid with a brown or gold brown or gold pencil on the lash line will be enough to enhance your eyes.
Charlotte's tip 💡: Avoid tone-on-tone. So for blue eyes, blue eyeshadow is a no-go. If, however, you're partial to blue makeup, opt for a smoky eye in dark blue tones to contrast with the color of your iris!
What's the difference between eyeliner and eye pencil?
The key to successful eyeliner application is choosing the right product. Between liquid eyeliner, felt-tip or pencil, the options are numerous.
Organic eyeliner brush : perfect for beginners! Use the brush in the cap for extreme precision. The liquid formula also ensures excellent hold and a glossy result.
Organic felt eyeliner: Its felt-tip applicator ensures impeccable lining and controls slippage. As soon as the felt-tip eyeliner is first applied to the upper lash line, the pigments dry and do not cling to the mobile eyelid.
It's also possible to apply eyeliner with an organic eye pencil: it's the best ally for newcomers to eye make-up!
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-eyes effect.
Can I use eye pencil as an eyelid base?
Thanks to their creamy texture and intense color, organic eye pencils are easy to blend and can even be used as an eyelid base for added intensity: ideal for smokey eyes!
