If you’ve got naturally down-
sloping eyes or your lids have
drooped with age, brown pencil is
best – it’s less harsh and more
forgiving. Start at the inner corner
of your eye and sweep along the
upper lash line, then stop once
you get two-thirds of the way
across. This way, you play up the
highest point and rounded shape
of your eye. The Big Gel Paint
Pencil in Rich Copper, £6,
avon.uk.com, has a slight metallic
sheen for an even softer effect.M AGIC
