Eyeliner adds that defining finishing touch to your eye makeup look. Without it, eyes just don't seem complete and tend to lack the piercing sexiness that eyeliner provides. It can make your eyes look bigger, add definition, and bring out the contour, shape and color of your eyes. It also to "wake up" the face and makes you look alive. Basically, ladies, a good Kohl eyeliner pencil should be one of the essentials in your makeup bag.
Back to the Basics
You can never go wrong with a classic Kohl black eyeliner pencil. It is a must-have for makeup aficionados and a welcomed addition to your makeup bag. Black is the most popular eyeliner shade, and a Kohl black eyeliner is definitely one of the best because of the deep, rich and even color it provides. It is ideal for day and evening wear, and it adds instant smolder to the eyes that calls attention to your entire face. When wearing black eyeliner, it's important to know that, depending on your complexion and skin tone, you must be careful to not over apply. The final result of over-applying black eyeliner will look very harsh and aging, especially in natural light. The fairer the complexion, the fewer applications needed.
Shimmer Me All Over
Nights out on the town and special occasions were made for a super sexy, shimmery Kohl eyeliner. It compliments a sexy shiny dress and reflects the lights shining off the dance floor, while adding tons of high glam drama. Look for Kohl eyeliner shades in silvers, golds and bronzes that beautifully catch the light and complete a makeup look. Since these shades are more festive and not advised for everyday wear, feel free to have fun with them by applying them generously for eyes that really pop. Also, don't be afraid to mix and match colors to truly have some fun.
Colors Speak Loudly
If you are a little skittish about trying out color, the easiest way to do so is to incorporate it into your makeup look. When temperatures rise, the time is perfect to splurge on several colorful Kohl eyeliners that add pizazz to your eyes. Bright orange, pink, blue and purple shades are the go-to tones that are certain to cause a stir. A little of these colors goes a long way, because they are so brightly colored and have lots of pigmentation; they don't require many applications, to achieve bold eye looks. When used sparingly, they can also be appropriate for daytime wear or for the office.
Earth Tone Ease
Subtle is often quite sexy and always works in any situation. While eyeliner is usually thought to be dark, shimmery or bright colors, some of the best Kohl eyeliners come in rich, earth tone shades of brown, beige and tawny. Yes, they are understated, but that also means that you can apply several sweeps to your lash lines, to add a more dramatic appearance. If black Kohl eyeliner is a makeup staple, then earth tones are for the ladies that want a little less attention, yet still want a sexy look.
