• A soft pencil draws a line. It begins with the middle of the mobile upper eyelid. You need to move in the direction of growth of eyelashes, to the outer corner of the eye. But do not bring the line to the end of the corner, but lift it upwards to the crease of the upper eyelid and lead to the middle of the upper boundary of the mobile age, at the end round in the form of a loop. The line is held with small stitches to get a neat effect.
• The side part of the pencil lead is shaded to the outer corner by the edge of the oval, located behind the loop line.
• A pencil is shaded with a flat brush, as if a shade stretches toward the temple and under the eyebrow. You can not break the even border of the loop.
• For the intensity of the color, dark shadows are applied over the pencil shading. A light nudge off the corner.
• In the lower eyelid (a quarter) spend with a pencil along the growth of the eyelashes from the outer corner to the inner. The line was obtained, it is shaded with a flat brush, raised as much as possible and connected to the upper drawn arch.
• On the inner corner of the eye, going to the mobile eyelid, a white pencil is applied, shading. On top, they cover with light shadows, keeping the inner borders of the eyelet, i. E. Light shadows should not lubricate the line of the dark pencil.
• The sub-groove zone is covered with beige shadows or the same as in the mobile age.
