High-Pigment Longwear Eyeliner

What a kohl pencil is

A soft, waxy pencil made to be smudged — the modern way to wear a kohl-rimmed eye.

How it is used. Draw close to the lashes and smudge before it sets; run along the waterline for intensity.

The techniques

Draw

A single controlled line, built from short strokes where the hand needs it.

Smudge

Soften a drawn line into a haze while the product is still workable.

Rim

Run the applicator along the closed waterline so colour lines the inside rim of the eye.

Tightline

Press liner into the roots of the upper lashes from beneath, so the lash line looks denser with no visible line.
