The pencil in a plastic case creates a smooth, clear line. It allows for blending and is very soft, precise, yet durable. It sets within 20 seconds, allowing for timely correction of any makeup errors. It holds well on the eyelids, requiring no adjustments throughout the day. The wide palette ranges from classic tones (closely resembling black shades of brown, gray, green, purple, blue) to brighter shades: emerald, turquoise, lilac, light blue, light green. Some shades contain pearlescent particles that soften the color, refresh the makeup, and add a moist shine. Using such pencils in makeup offers vast opportunities for creativity.
