Here are my top 5 makeup beauty tips and reasons you should be packing pencils in your cosmetics bag.  They’re completely hygienic, totally compact, and practically goof-proof.  Plus, they come in shades to suit every skin tone.

Get Flawless Skin – The pointy tip of a concealer pencil is ideal for covering up small imperfections, like broken capillaries, facial spider veins, and sun spots.  Simply draw over the flaw, then use the pad of your ring finger to press the color into the skin.

For Lusher Lashes – Drawing a thin stripe of inky black on the inner rim of your upper eyelid fills in the spaces between the lashes, making your fringe look longer and thicker.  Pull your lid up gently and apply the color directly underneath your lashline.

For a Smoky Eye – The quickest way to amp-up your eyes is to use a soft, crayon-like pencil to color over your upper lid, then smudge with a cotton swab.  Black or charcoal hues impart a dramatic effect, while brown is slightly more subtle.

For a Plumper Pout – To exaggerate the size of your mouth, trace just outside its natural border.  For the most precise application, use short feathery strokes instead of making one continuous line.  Then, use the same pencil to fill-in lips.

For Fuller Brows – For a realistic look, it’s best to select two different shades that are close to your natural brow tone.  Apply the lighter shade to the hairs closest to the bridge of your nose and the darker one from the middle of your brows to the end.

Bonus Health and Beauty Tip – If you sharpen your pencils between uses, it will prevent the transfer of potentially harmful bacteria to your skin.
