The Diorshow On Stage Crayon Eyeliner Pencil by Dior is a versatile, high-pigment liner. it allows you to create anything from a soft, smoky look to a bold, graphic line. Its creamy texture glides on effortlessly and sets to a long-wearing, waterproof finish, making it ideal for both everyday wear and special occasions. Applying it correctly ensures your eyes appear more defined, expressive, and polished throughout the day.
Step 1: Prepare Your Eye Area
Start by cleansing your skin and removing any residual oil or makeup from your eyelids. This helps the eyeliner adhere better and prevents smudging.
If you have oily lids, lightly dust translucent powder or apply a small amount of eyeshadow primer to create a smooth, matte surface. You can also apply your eyeshadow first—eyeliner should generally come after your base eye makeup for a clean finish.
Step 2: Sharpen the Pencil
Use a good-quality sharpener to give your Diorshow On Stage Crayon a fine, precise tip. A well-sharpened pencil ensures cleaner lines and more control during application.
If you prefer a softer, smoky look, slightly dull the tip by rubbing it gently on the back of your hand before applying it to your eyelid.
Step 3: Apply to the Upper Lash Line
Begin at the inner corner of your upper lash line and work your way outward in small, controlled strokes. Instead of trying to draw one continuous line, use short dashes that you can later connect for a smoother result.
The creamy texture of the Diorshow On Stage Crayon glides easily, allowing for both thin, subtle lines and thicker, more dramatic ones. For a natural look, stay close to the lash roots. For more intensity, build up the thickness gradually toward the outer corner.
Step 4: Define the Lower Lash Line
To define the lower lash line, use the side of the pencil to gently trace along the outer two-thirds of the lower lashes.
Avoid lining the full length of the lower lid unless you want a very bold, editorial look—stopping near the pupil gives a softer, more lifted effect. You can also smudge the line slightly with the included smudger or a small brush for a blended, smoky finish.
Step 5: Tightline for Extra Definition
For a fuller lash appearance, gently lift your upper eyelid and apply the liner directly to your upper waterline (the area beneath your lashes). This technique, called tightlining, adds depth without looking overly made up. Because the Diorshow On Stage Crayon is waterproof, it holds up beautifully on the waterline without transferring.
Step 6: Blend or Set
If you want a smoky effect, quickly blend the liner before it sets using the smudging tip on the opposite end of the pencil.
For a sharp, graphic line, let the liner dry for a few seconds without touching it. You can layer a matching Dior eyeshadow on top to intensify the color and lock it in place.
Step 7: Finishing Touches
Complete your eye look with a few coats of Diorshow mascara for dramatic, voluminous lashes. Check that both eyes are balanced and that the liner shape complements your eye shape—adjust with a cotton swab or concealer if needed.
Pro Tip:
Because the Diorshow On Stage Crayon is waterproof and long-wearing, it’s perfect for long days or humid weather. To remove it at night, use a gentle bi-phase eye makeup remover designed for waterproof formulas to ensure complete cleansing without tugging at the delicate eye area.
