A Better Way to Line Crepey Eye Lids and Give More Shape to Older Eyes!

Don't run away from the problem.  Instead learn to work with your current issues like with this  great eye lining trick.


My favorite form of eye liner is a pencil because it allows me to smudge and create a softer, more natural line.  Yet, using the same products on crepey eye lids can often become a challenge.  However, I just discovered a fantastic trick that worked wonders when I tried it on my mother’s crepey lids that you got to try.

A friend told me that her mother has been taking a black felt-tip eye liner and using it on the inner rim of the upper lid as well as on the bottom of the lashes to help with that problem.  I listened, but couldn’t understand how using a felt-tip liner, especially in black would work.

Of course, my friend saw that I was skeptical judging from the expression that must have been on my face. Then she explained the most important thing of all–-the procedure.  

What you do is to hold the upper lid firmly and then begin dotting the liner under the lashes.  You do the same thing with the liner at the base of the lashes and then connect that series of tiny dots.   I knew about dotting with liner this way for a more subtle eye, but I never thought to suggest it to my mother. 

Well, we gave that eye liner a shot.  What surprised me was how wearable black done in this fashion by laying down that delicate line managed to better define the shape of her eyes instead of calling attention to that aging problem.  

My friend’s mother thinks doing the bottom lashes helps with bringing the eye out, but I tend to disagree in my mother’s case.  The liner at the base just seemed too much, but this result may be different with your particular issues. 

Nonetheless, if crepey lids are your problem, I hope that you experiment with this wonderful eye lining tip because it works.

Create Bigger, More Extraordinary Eyes With This Trick!


If you want to make your eyes huge, I found a really great way to open them up considerably with an eye liner pencil.  

Lining the inner rims of the top and bottom lash lines with white eye liner will draw the whites of your eyes out with a bold impact.

However, there is a more natural way to enlarge them.  Switch out that white eye liner pencil out with a nude pencil and you will love the effect!  

I hope you try this trick because it is amazing to make your eyes pop.

Eyes don't seem to be complete without liner.  I think the pencil form is one of my favorite ways to go because it's easy to smudge while also being less bold than a liquid.   Rimmel London came out with their new Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliners Pencils and I was eager to see how they performed.

I received four in Taupe (004), Purple (013), Black (001), and Brown (003) to review.

In the photo above, Brown is on the left followed by Purple then Black and ending with Taupe on the right.

I immediately liked how creamy the formula was as I began using a pencil.  As you draw the line, you still have time to smudge before it dries to a soft matte finish.   Best of all, this product is smear proof and stays beautifully in place for as long as you need it without any problems.

Taking it off is also simple.  These pencils can be removed easily enough once you take your cotton ball to it with your waterproof eye makeup remover and give it a swipe or two.

The colors were great true basics as far as a rich black, a deep brown, and a dark purple for complimenting most of the shadows you probably own.  The Taupe was a wonderful surprise to turn your ordinary color scheme up a notch with this particular shade.

What I found really exciting was the Taupe pencil for doing your lower lash line because a shade like this and at this price is rather hard to come by.  The color is a light brown with some gray that is subtle and extremely striking for providing a delicate finish when striving for a natural look.

Seriously, I think you can't go wrong with these Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner Pencils.  I think once  you try one of them, you will be buying more of the other shades.

When I am trying to make my eyes as dramatic as possible, I rely on liquid liner instead of my usual choice of eyeliner pencils.  Though I can't smudge and soften the effect as I do with pencils for daytime, I do love that bold definition this form can provide when I do it just right, especially when you find a great product like Rimmel London's Glam 'Eyes Professional Liquid Liner  that I recently tested.

The shade was Black Glamour and I must admit this was not a shy gray like some others that you may have tried.  This Glam 'Eyes Professional Liquid Liner is a true matte black color, coal-black, that is easy to use with just the ideal thickness to line like an expert.   Whether you want to draw a thin line or glam it up with a more intense thick line, this thin brush will help you do it. 

Furthermore, this liner does not smudge and seemed last the entire day while being gentle on my sensitive eyes. 

Honestly, I thought this Glam 'Eyes Professional Liquid Liner was fantastic for performance as well as helping make my eyes pop big time.  I highly recommend picking this Rimmel London product up because it really rocks!
