Praised for several seasons on podiums and red carpets, the white pencil for the eyes seems to have dethroned the classic black pencil . What are the powers of this new must-have makeup? How to use it ? Amélie d'Halluin, make-up center director of the Make Up Factory, a start-up bringing together several business expertise in the service of Yves Rocher make-up, helps us to decipher this makeup trend to the taste of déjà-vu.

White to enlarge and refresh the look

Associated with the 80s, the white pencil for the eyes comes back in force. In question, the current wave of natural complexion, even no make-up. Discreet, he enlarges his eyes and brings him brilliance thanks to his illuminating power. "Applied to the waterline, it immediately wakes up the area," says Amelie Halluin who advocates to abuse it every day.

For a softer and more natural, Amelie d'Halluin advises to focus on white pencils nude or pink white to pure white and cold which can on the contrary harden the eyes, especially if one has the heavy hand. Side texture, we will favor soft pencils that will slide and mark more easily this wet area.

The various applications of the white pencil

For a pro result, it is applied on the inner line of the lower eyelid, flush with the eyelashes, also associating a touch of light at the inner corner of the eye that is blown on the finger or brush. This technique allows to open more eyes because the white on the lower eyelid will be confused with the whites of the eyes. Consequence: dark circles appear less marked and the complexion cooler.

Applied to the inner corner of the eye, with a darker touch at the outer corner, it creates an optical illusion that distances eyes too close together. Deposited in a fine line of liner he lifts the drooping eyelids.

Another advantage of the white pencil: it can also help to fix the eyeshadow by using it as a base - provided you have chosen a white pencil rather fat and rather big, such as a jumbo pencil. This will give a little iridescent side to the selected eye shadow and promote the holding.

In short, the white pencil is a basic to have in his makeup kit for a makeup "nude" everyday. For a more sophisticated look, it can also be paired with a black line of liner flush on the upper eyelid, black mascara and a hint of matte lipstick .
