But let's first start by saying white eye pencil makes a great concealer. For anyone who likes white concealer (to hide dark circles or give u a nice glow and what not) burn the tip of your white eye pencil for about a second and a half. Don't let the tip melt too much! Blow on the tip (it should still be semi sharp) check the temp with your finger and apply any where you put concealer (i.earound your eyes, up to the brow, or just under your eyes) A tip I always use is to first apply a crme concealer as a base. The pencil lasts longer!

Now, on to the eyeshadow. I had the perfect red eye shadow until my boyfriend knocked it to the ground and it cracked and turned to powder. I looked up and down for a matching color but never found it. Finally I bought a red lip pencil. And a cheap one at that. It works great as eye shadow. The color is actually deeper (depending on the shade you want to achieve just apply more or less) than regular eye shadow. For a true deep color, use the melt-the-tip method. Put a lighter to the tip for a second or so and once it's cooled off, but not too cool, apply!

WARNING:
Robert Smith of The Cure applied lip stick to his eyes in place of eye shadow and said he got pink eye or some type of eye infection. Hasn't happened to me yet *knock on wood* But I haven't actually gotten the stuff in my eyes and I wouldn't recommend using your eye/lip liner as a lip stick.
