How to accurately draw eyeliner arrows. We draw arrows on the eyes with eyeliner and a pencil

Part 1.

I haven’t heard about the arrows this season, but I’m very lazy - there were a lot of them at the shows, different ones, the shapes went absolutely fantastic, the colors too. Meanwhile, not every crooked beauty blogger (this is me to myself) has yet learned to draw the most ordinary arrows with dignity -)). Therefore, for a comment on how and what to do arrows, we Nicholas II went to MAC to Katerina Ponomareva, the leading makeup artist. Because Katya is known for her ability to rrrraz - and draw the perfect arrow easily and simply.

What Katya said:

Arrows are always a timeless classic in eye makeup. This makeup is appropriate for a romantic date, a business meeting, and an incendiary party. The arrows go to women of any age, making the look more expressive, and the face younger!

How to draw

To create arrows, you can use the most convenient makeup tool for you: from pencils and cream eyeliner to felt-tip pen or shadows.

Eyeliner This method of creating an arrow is quite simple to use, allows you to mix several shades - what you need for daily and quick makeup! A clear thin line is easier to draw with a hard pencil, but a soft pencil is suitable for a richer line and drawing the inner eyelid. However, there is a small minus: the pencil can be quickly erased, so it is better to give preference to stable M.A.C. pencils.

liquid eyeliner Provides the most defined and long lasting eye make-up. When choosing an eyeliner, you should pay attention to the brush: a long soft brush is ideal for drawing a thin contour, an eyeliner with a fibrous tip resembling a felt-tip pen is perfect for a more voluminous line of the arrow.

Gel eyeliner very flexible, easy to apply and touch up with an angled synthetic brush.

felt-tip pen- the most convenient option for beginners eyeliner. A significant disadvantage of it is that the felt-tip pen dries out rather quickly.

You can also draw arrows with shadows and beveled brush. It is worth noting that before applying the shadows as an eyeliner, you should moisten the brush, and then proceed to drawing.

According to the shape of the eye

Eyeliner can not only make the look more expressive, but also correct the shape of the eyes! To create the perfect wing shape, you should choose not only the type of eyeliner, but also the type of liner that suits your eye shape.

For example, for almond shape absolutely any arrows will do.

If you are the owner round or protruding eyes, then you can adjust them using the arrows. Starting from the middle of the eye a little lift the arrow up for a wider line, then smoothly sharpen it. This method will help to visually give the eye a more almond-shaped shape.

The thin arrows ideal for oriental type. The tip of the arrow only needs to be slightly lifted up, slightly going beyond the boundaries of the outer corner.

If you have heavy eyelid or drooping outer corners of the eyes, you will also like thin arrow.

Visually enlarge small eyes you can use a light-colored eyeliner and elongated arrows.

First thing to remember: the arrow must be drawn with the eye open.

In order to make it easier for you to draw a more even and symmetrical arrow, with small strokes with a black kayal pencil, mark the line of the arrow as close to the ciliary edge as possible.

Pencil Eye Kohl Smolder

Then, using a #208 brush, outline the wing line with Fluideline Black gel eyeliner, starting from the center of the eye towards the outer corner.

MAC 208 brush and Blacktrack eyeliner

Put an inconspicuous point with dry shadows in the place where the arrow will end, then carefully connect the line of the main eyeliner with this point.

MAC shadows Naked Lunch and Shroom

Make sure that the tip of your arrow was not pointing down. Draw the outline of the arrow with the 263 brush, carefully filling in the gaps along the lash line.

For the most clean and clear result, it is better to draw the arrows after applying the shadows.

How to determine the direction of the arrowhead

Draw an imaginary line from the middle of the lower eyelid to the outer corner of the eye, and you can easily determine the angle of the arrow and the direction of the arrow tip. The length of the arrow depends on your desire, the most important thing is that it fits perfectly with your eye shape.

Chips

Before doing makeup, practice drawing "arrows", for example, on paper.

For a more even line, it is better to rest your elbow on a table or other stable surface.

When creating the outline of the arrow, look in the mirror straight ahead without turning your head to the side.

Nude shadows or translucent powder even out the surface of the eyelids to make the lines more clear and persistent.

The arrows create a strong emphasis on the eyes, so the area around the eyes should look flawless.

A wider line at the outer corner of the eye visually makes the eyes appear larger.

Part 2.

In the first part of the project “Learning makeup from makeup artists”, Katya Ponomareva, makeup artist at MAC, talked about how to draw arrows. This time, Nika Kislyak, the official make-up artist of L'Oreal Paris, shares her experience. Moreover, there is a reason - this spring the brand introduced new felt-tip pens and pencils for drawing arrows. And I saw how Nika draws arrows: once - and you're done. Dream))

Tips from Niki Kislyak, L'Oreal Paris

Form

Ideal arrows can be chosen for any eye, just for some eyes it will be a very thin arrow, more like a ciliary contour, and for others it will be wide, in the spirit of Amy Winehouse. The only exception is eyes with a strongly hanging upper eyelid.

Preparation

Eyelids must be prepared for applying eyeliner. Wipe them with Trio Active comfort cleaning wipes.

If you have oily eyelid skin, then after wet wipes, barely touching, lightly powder them with a fluffy brush, and then apply eyeliner.

If in makeup you focus on the eyes, then it is better to first draw the arrows, and then apply the foundation and other products - so you will be able to easily correct the line on clean skin.

Process

Do not try to immediately draw one solid line, it is much easier to outline it with a “dotted line” and then smoothly connect it.

Another tip that greatly simplifies the process: take an eyeliner of a not very dark shade and outline arrows on both eyes - length, bend. And only when the result suits you completely, circle the line with a liner. This can be quite time consuming at first, but once you've done something that fits you perfectly and memorized the shape, things will be much easier.

Help yourself: with the fingers of your free hand, pull the outer corner of the eyelid to the temple, and then draw a line. It is even better that the hand you draw with has a support, and does not hang in the air.

One of the main rules: there should be no gaps between the arrow and the eyelashes, otherwise it will look sloppy. The liner should go into the space between the eyelashes.

Error correction

If there is a need to correct the arrows, use the same napkins, a cotton swab dipped in a mild eye makeup remover (for example, also Trio Active). The most convenient way to remove errors in makeup is to use a stiff synthetic brush slightly moistened with the same product, it works like an eraser, you remove the excess in one sure movement.

If you see that the upper border of the line is not perfectly even, you can have time to blend it into a haze with a cotton swab or a hard brush, until the eyeliner has had time to dry, and “hammer” a little with shadows from above.

People do not immediately know how to speak, they do not immediately learn to walk, so why do you need to stop after the first unsuccessfully drawn arrows? Get your hand on a friend, practice in front of your own eyes, on the back of your hand, feel the texture of the liner. After 5-7 times everything will work out, I assure you!

Perfect shooters!

And finally - a bonus: how to create a dramatic makeup using arrows:

And I almost forgot: one more bonus.

What mascara to choose?

First of all, mascara should be combined with eyeliner. If you're drawing thick lines, you need bulk ink. If thin - in this case, choose lengthening mascara. First, apply mascara at the roots of the eyelashes - it will merge with the eyeliner line and fill in the unpainted areas. Then paint over the cilia at the outer edge of the eye - the look will turn out to be more open. Remember, you do not need to paint the lower lashes with lengthening mascara - this will make your look heavier.

Now for sure - perfect shooters).

Today, the question of how to draw arrows in front of the eyes (photo step by step) worries many women. And this is no accident, because the right eye makeup helps to hide imperfections: visually enlarge the eyes, stretch them or round them, visually correct the distance between them (wide / close-set eyes), give the look expressiveness and sexuality. Having learned this art, you will always look irresistible.

We make expressive eyes: how to choose cosmetics

Today, there is a fairly large selection of various cosmetics with which you can paint on your eyes so that your look becomes charming and memorable. You need to choose different eyeliners based on your experience and what result you want to get. Let's consider in more detail.

• Pencil. This is the perfect tool for beginners. It is easy to draw eyes with a pencil, it draws evenly and softly and can be corrected, but still has one drawback. If you do not sharpen the pencil before each use, then you will not achieve the ideal result. Remember this.
• Marker. Draws very thinly, but after a while the brightness of the line will decrease significantly.
• Cream eyeliner. Perhaps the most ideal option for drawing creative lines. All you have to do is choose the right brush for the thickness.
• Liquid eyeliner. They have a convenient brush applicator, which is quite easy to draw an arrow.
• helium liners. Their only drawback is that they harden too quickly, which makes it impossible to easily correct if the line is uneven or sloppy.
• Arrows stickers. An ideal tool for those ladies who do not know how or do not want to use cosmetics for eyeliner.

The shape and section of the eye: choose the line that emphasizes the beauty

Before you bring the arrows, you need to figure out what their shape will look perfect before your eyes. Only in this case the effect will be perfect.

• Arrows of any shape and color are suitable for an almond-shaped incision. The main thing here is to observe clarity and accuracy in the implementation of makeup.
• Narrow slit eyes (Asian). For this shape, the painted lines should be thin, their tips raised and not extending beyond the outer corners. It is most convenient to draw them with a felt-tip pen.
• Round eyes will look good if you move the arrow upwards from the middle of the eyelid, thus lengthening the eye, and at the same time gradually thickening the width of the line so that the effect of a heavy eyelid is not obtained.
• For small eyes, the main thing is to find an opportunity to enlarge them. To do this, draw a thin arrow near the cilia at the top (it is better to use light cosmetics for this). For the lower eyelid, take a light pencil and draw it along the inner line.
• For wide-set eyes, lines that look thicker at the inner corner of the eye and thin at the outer corner are suitable, but the transition should not be pronounced.
• For those eyes that are too covered by the eyelid, and it is difficult to draw an arrow on them, you should simply draw the lower ciliary edge with a light pencil.

How to Draw Classic Thin Arrows

Now let's take a closer look at how to draw arrows in front of your eyes: (photo step by step) thin classic ones. For this you will need:

• base for shadows;
• shadows satin light shade;
• matte shadows;
• shadows with shimmer;
• large flat brush;
• small flat brush;
• barrel brush;
• small brush-pencil;
• helium eyeliner with a thin brush;
• black waterproof pencil;
• ink.

As you can see, to create perfect arrows, you will need a lot of items, but the result is worth it. So, first of all, apply an eyeshadow base on the eyelid. Take a large flat brush and apply light satin shadows on top, blend them well on the moving eyelid. All this will create a kind of barrier, thanks to which the applied arrow will not be imprinted on the eyelid.

Take a barrel brush and matte shadows. Distribute them along the orbital line of the eyelid. This will make your eyes more expressive.

Now take a flat small brush and with the same matte shadows tint the lower eyelid from the middle to the outer corner.

Then take the helium eyeliner and make the first stroke. Draw a line from the outer point of the eye, leading it to the crease of the upper eyelid. You can make the ponytail a little steeper or vice versa. In the first case, it should be parallel to the base of the eyebrow, and in the second, it should be a continuation of the line of the lower eyelid. Make the same line on the second eye.

Draw a thin line on the eyelid with a brush right next to the cilia. To make it smoother, pull the corner of the eye a little. Do the same on the second eye.

With a neat, even line, connect the ponytail and the contour near the cilia.

Now take a black waterproof pencil and paint over the space between the eyelashes. So they will look much thicker and fluffier, and the arrow itself is neater.

Take a pencil brush and apply some shimmery shadows in the inner corner of the eyes. Next, draw a line under the eyebrow with satin shadows.

And the final touch is ink. Fine-tune your eyelashes with it.

How to draw expressive wide arrows

It is very easy to make a beautiful wide eyeliner in two steps. To do this, you need to outline a line from the outer tip of the eye and from the middle of the eyelid. Next, connect the line with the inner corner of the eye with the intended line in the middle. Color everything with a pencil or eyeliner.

Another version of the arrow, which is somewhat more complicated. It is ideal for those ladies who are not afraid and already know how to work with thin lines. You should also start with the outer part of the eye. Mark a sharp corner and draw a thin line from the inside of the eye. Shade. Here you can independently adjust the length of the arrow.

If you are afraid to ruin the arrow or sit behind the drawing for most of the evening, just use a stencil. Attach it to the eye and shade the cut out part.

And in the last version of the drawing of the arrows, you can use a regular spoon. Using a pen, mark a line from the outer part of the eye, and by attaching a rounded part to the eye, complete the shape of the arrow. You just have to shade it.

Now you know how to draw arrows on the eyes correctly (photo step by step). It remains for you to determine your type of eyes and choose the necessary cosmetics in order to beautifully draw lines above the cilia. And remember that everything should be in moderation. Makeup should be selected in accordance with the time of day, the event you are going to and just your mood. Be irresistible!

Eye shooting is a favorite and very accurate female weapon. It may not be possible to kill with it, but you can easily wound it in the very heart. And if for some reason it is not yet used in your arsenal, then you need to learn how to draw arrows in front of your eyes.

• Classic thin black arrows- this is already a kind of model and a good tone in makeup. Despite their traditional character, it is the classic arrows that are the most difficult to draw exactly. But they were and remain a universal make-up technique that suits 99.9% of women. Classic arrows can be very thin and invisible, but they always emphasize the shape of the eyes and make the look more expressive.
  
• cat arrows, or arrows in retro style - this is a somewhat exaggerated version of makeup, appropriate for a festive and / or evening environment. Such arrows are impossible not to notice, and they always focus on the makeup of the eyes, and at the same time allow you to slightly adjust their cut. In addition to eyeliner that runs along the lash line, cat liner can take almost half a century and combine the functions of liner and smoky eye makeup.
  
• long arrows look expressive, but not deliberately, if they are drawn taking into account the features of facial features. They help to visually balance the proportions if the eyes are set wide. A long arrow, starting from the innermost corner of the eye, visually corrects this deficiency and makes the face more harmonious.
  
• short arrows more suitable for girls with closely spaced eyes and a thin bridge of the nose. Their beginning is located approximately in the middle of the lash line on the upper eyelid, and the tail extends far beyond the outer corner of the eye.
  
• multicolored arrows is a great alternative to eye shadow, especially in the summer. Depending on the taste, clothes and appearance color type, you can draw arrows not only black, but also purple, blue, blue, green and even yellow, orange and red.
  

1. Eyeliner. The most inexpensive and versatile tool, therefore it is suitable for those who are just learning to draw arrows on their eyelids evenly. Keep in mind that a soft pencil lies on the skin more easily, but it also wears off faster because it melts from heat. A hard pencil requires some skill to draw straight arrows, but it will last longer on the eyelids.
   
2. liquid eyeliner, or liner - a classic tool for drawing arrows on the eyelids. On the one hand, its consistency allows the applicator to glide smoothly over the skin, drawing even arrows. On the other hand, you can’t quickly draw arrows with liquid eyeliner: it is imprinted and dirty until the line is completely dry on the skin.
   
3. Eyeliner-felt pen has all the advantages of a liquid eyeliner and compensates for most of its shortcomings. But even one wrong move spoils the entire make-up, because it is almost impossible to wipe off part of such eyeliner imperceptibly.
   
4. Compact eyeliner(dry, cream or gel) is one of the favorite products of professional makeup artists. To draw arrows on the eyelids with its help, you will need a special thin brush. Cream and gel eyeliners are ready to use, while dry ones require moisturizing. Compact eyeliner allows you to control the width and shape of the arrows like no other means. In addition, it is spent very economically, so it is suitable for those who often draw arrows.
   
5. Eyeshadow- This is a spare tool for creating arrows if none of the above is at hand.

How to draw smooth arrows on the eyes
Now that you have been able to decide on the shape of the arrows and the tool for drawing them, it's time to move on to practice. If before you have not been able to draw arrows on your own, then be prepared for the fact that drawing arrows in front of your eyes will not work exactly the first, or even the second time. But regular training guarantees excellent results. And for it to come as soon as possible, use these secrets of the technique of drawing arrows on the eyelids:
Both makeup artists and ordinary women have come up with many ways to draw arrows in front of their eyes evenly. Among them are such exotic devices as stencils, decals and other technical developments. The most daring girls decide to do permanent make-up on their eyelids so that the arrows do not have to be drawn again and again. And yet, all these methods are hardly worth using. Firstly, they are not safe for the delicate and thin skin around the eyes. Secondly, the ability to correctly draw arrows on your own is still much better than any tricks. If you are able to draw symmetrical arrows in front of your eyes, then you can do it in any situation with different cosmetics. And if so, then we are completely calm for your beauty!

Do you want your makeup to give the impression of a trendy, fresh look? You can not do without beautiful graphic arrows along the contour of the upper eyelid. A line drawn along the edge of the eyelashes will give the look brightness and expressiveness. By applying different colors and directions of the drawing, you can change the facial expression, give it sexuality, and correct the shape of the eye. It seems that the "cat's look" - as this make-up technique was dubbed in the 60s - has returned for a long time. Now he is at the peak of popularity and makeup artists on all fashion catwalks represent different styles of this type of makeup.

But it is important to know how to draw arrows correctly: inaccurate movement, too long and thick line - and instead of the intended piquant image, you can get just sloppy or vulgar coloring. An unevenly applied beauty product can destroy the symmetry of the face.

How to draw

First of all, let's define the "tool". Lines created with liquid eyeliner can look very impressive, but for beginners, a pencil is better. Why? A trace from it is much easier to correct than to wash off the eyeliner. It is better to use eyeliner when a confident possession of drawing techniques is acquired. In addition, only by working with a pencil, you can make another version of the make-up - “smoky ice”. The pencil mark can be shaded, really achieving a “foggy look”.

When choosing a "tool", pay attention to the degree of its softness and composition. The “correct” pencil does not contain paraffin and mineral oils. Moderately soft, at the same time it should not scratch the delicate skin of the eyelids, not cause discomfort. Make a test track on the outside of the palm. If it looks clear and continuous, not too easy to remove, then the pencil is of high quality and you can think about how and which arrows to draw in front of your eyes. To draw a thin line, you need a harder pencil, for a wide one - softer. Understanding relationships: softer - harder, easily achieved by practice.

The softest is kyle, it is used if they want to emphasize the ciliary contour from below, from the mucosal side. Therefore, its formula also includes natural (vegetable) antiseptics that guarantee safety. It is also used to create soft wide contours, the texture of the kyle is easy to blend with a brush. Ideal for creating a "smoky" look.

Individual approach

Determine which color will match the features of your appearance (eye and hair color), intended image, place and time, that is, the “purpose” of makeup. Universal colors suitable for any appearance and for every occasion - black and brown. Especially if you use them in moderation, avoiding intense saturation. Owners of young swarthy complexion and black eyes can afford a lot - not only jet black accents, but also bright purple, plum, olive shades. Blondes, especially those with a pale face, should be more careful with the choice of color, it is better not to go beyond the gray-brown range, for parties - silver-blue.

How correctly drawn arrows will help to “correct” the shape of the eye?

If you already know how to draw beautiful arrows with a pencil in stages, determine the shape of your eyes. Perhaps you can improve it.

1. Small eyes will visually increase if the arrow starts from the middle of the contour of the eye and gradually increases the thickness of the line. Pastel warm tones can be slightly shaded (rubbed) so that the outlines of the eye seem to be lost visually, and the coloring would be soft, not so noticeable.
2. Not everyone likes to have round eyes, but they can be disguised by using the "cat's eye" technique to make them almond-shaped. The line circling the upper eyelid must be thickened, starting from the middle, brought out beyond the outer corner of the eye with a sharp arrow (but no further than half a centimeter) pointing upwards.
3. If the distance between your eyes is more than usual, it is necessary to emphasize the inner corner - here the arrow is made as wide as possible, its continuation is drawn thinner. The line should not be longer than the lash line.
4. Closely spaced eyes (“double-barreled”) can be “pushed apart” if you draw a thin line as close as possible to the roots of the eyelashes, and then apply light shading.

Getting down to business

Before trusting the instructions for beginners on how to draw arrows with a pencil step by step, get acquainted with the general simple rules that make it easier for you.

1. In order for the hand to be firm when moving the pencil, the elbow must rest on a hard surface. Therefore, you should never draw while standing in front of a mirror. The mirror should be placed on the table at face level.
2. To make the line even, you need to slightly pull the eyelid up.
3. Drawing arrows with a pencil in stages, it is necessary to monitor the identity of both lines. If they lie unevenly: one is longer or wider than the other, the face will look asymmetrical.
4. To gain a skill, it's a good idea to practice on a piece of paper. Transfer a schematic image of the eye to a piece of paper and try to draw even and smooth features. You can go through different options for the technique of applying paint, and then transfer the experiments to your face.

1. The stylus should be sharpened sharply. Use with care to avoid damaging the eyelids. Demandingly treat the purchase of a special pencil, choose resistant and hypoallergenic. It does not hurt to have waterproof, for some cases.
2. When you're done, take a close look at yourself to see if you need any adjustments. Excess paint is easily removed with a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover.

How to draw arrows step by step with a pencil (see photo)

1. We draw an arrow from the inner corner of the eye along the edge of the growth of the eyelashes, trying not to leave the skin of the upper eyelid unpainted. In order to get a straight line, several tricks are used, especially useful for beginners:

• mark it with a few inconspicuous dots, and then draw a pencil along this dotted line;
• draw in two steps: bring from the starting point to the middle of the century, then lead to the intended end;
• first draw a very thin line, then work on its thickening (or shading);
• follow the direction of the line up, lowered down, it will give the look fatigue;

1. The next stage is the image of the tail. Draw a short line upwards from the outer corner of the eye. If you follow strict rules, it should, as it were, continue the direction of the contour of the lower eyelid.
2. Now we need to finish the tail by connecting it to the top line.
3. The final touch is to remove all the bumps with a cotton swab. You can use a special white pencil - liner. It is necessary to smoothly and carefully draw it along the entire arrow, painting over
   superfluous. Thus, you can make the arrow thinner, while the liner will enhance the expressiveness of the look.

Depicting wide arrows

Try to diversify the coloring of the eyes to go to a fun party.

1. We boldly draw the softest pencil along the contour of the eyelashes to the edge of the eyelid.
2. We depict the tail from the outer corner of the eye, and then add a few more lines along the top of the drawn one, connecting them with the tail. We make sure that there are no spaces between them, and we achieve the desired width.

Bold "cat eyes"

How to draw the most mysterious eyes with a pencil

1. Outline the contour of the upper eyelid as close as possible to the roots of the eyelashes. Leaning lightly on the outer corner of the eye, pull the line up, getting a ponytail.
2. From the end of the tail we draw a line to the middle of the century, connecting it with the already existing contour. Thus we get a triangular figure. This is the most crucial moment in applying make-up.
3. Carefully paint over the drawn triangle, avoiding going beyond the outline.

original parallels

If you have already mastered the art of drawing arrows correctly, allow yourself to double the lines near the eyes.

1. From the middle of the century or from the inner corner, draw a contour, continuing it with a small tail.
2. We draw exactly the same line along the edge of the lower eyelid, the tail of which should be parallel to the upper one. If you want to achieve the effect of "Egyptian style", the lower ponytail remains horizontal.

How beautiful to shade the look in unusual ways

In order for the tail to be even, they resort to various improvised methods. Someone uses a short ruler, putting it to the edge of the eye at the right angle and drawing a straight line along it. For this purpose, someone sticks a piece of tape at the outer corner of the eye. Then he draws an impeccable line for the ponytail along its edge as if along a ruler. This is perhaps the most acceptable option, since the drawing surface is still not completely flat.

Another woman's secret: if you have curling (eyelash curler) in your cosmetic arsenal, you can use it to aim arrows. After all, its metal shape already reproduces the growth curve of eyelashes on the upper eyelid. It remains only to draw a pencil along a rigid structure like a ruler, putting it to the eye.

They remain relevant at all times and, most likely, will never go out of fashion. Without such a detail, it will not be possible to make a sensual look. However, not everyone can draw smooth and symmetrical arrows. First you need to figure out what cosmetics to use for this, and choose the perfect shape of the arrows in accordance with the shape of your eyes.

How to draw arrows

Today, the cosmetics market represents a large selection of cosmetics for drawing straight arrows. The best product for yourself should be chosen based on the individual characteristics of the skin and personal preferences.

On request, you can purchase:

• liquid gel eyeliner or in the form of a felt-tip pen;
• regular or waterproof pencil;
• shadows.

The main thing is to choose and use the right tool that will lie evenly throughout the eyelid. The base must first be applied to the surface. It should be noted that for everyday make-up it is better to use shades of pastel shades, and for evening make-up - at your own discretion and in accordance with the chosen image.

What brushes are needed to draw arrows

For liquid textures, a comfortable synthetic brush is ideal. Its shape is chosen in accordance with your preferences: elongated or thin. For beginners, a beveled brush will be most convenient. Having got used to it, ideal arrows can be drawn with any tool.

How to draw perfect arrows with a pencil

If there is not too much experience in doing makeup, makeup artists advise you to first master the technique of drawing arrows with a soft pencil. Its main advantage is that fine lines can be easily achieved. Moreover, it is a soft pencil that is easiest to shade.

The arrow leads from the middle of the eyelids towards the outer corners of the eyes. Depending on the purpose, it can be drawn light or dark. However, a rich black color is considered a classic, which is suitable for any makeup.

How to draw perfect eyeliner arrows

With the help of liquid eyeliner, the arrows are the most difficult to draw. It takes a lot of time to master this technique. The color scheme of such funds is not as saturated as that of pencils. To make the arrow perfectly even, first you need to clean the brush of excess dye and lumps.

When thinking about how to draw perfect arrows with liquid eyeliner, you can use one trick. First, you should draw a thin line with a pencil, and then draw a second line on top of it with the help of an eyeliner. You need to paint over along the ciliary row and slightly lift at the outer corners of the eyes.

Apply dry eyeliner using an applicator or brush. Experts recommend using baked shadows. To get a rich arrow, you just need to wet the brush, and only then lower it into the composition. The eyeliner-felt pen is quite comfortable and dries quickly. Thanks to this tool, the paint does not need to be dosed. This will save time when doing makeup.

Easier to use, it combines the properties of liquid formulations and a pencil. This cosmetic product is applied with an angled brush.

Step-by-step instructions for drawing perfect arrows

After reading this instruction, you will learn how to draw perfect arrows without any problems (however, practice and skill are needed in this matter):

• First of all, you need to look down in order to clearly see where you need to lead the future arrow. They begin to draw it from the outer corner of the eyelashes and lead towards the temple (a thin line should look up).
• Almost from the middle of the eye, a second thin line is drawn and connected to the first.
• Thus, the outline of the arrow turned out, now you need to fill in the empty space.
• It remains to draw thin arrows from the inner corners of the eyes and connect them with the existing ones.

Selection of perfect arrows according to the shape of the eyes

• Owners of almond-shaped eyes just need to draw an arrow along the natural curve. In the first third, the line begins to thicken and bring it to the end in this form.
• Eyes with a narrowed shape (Asian type) go wide arrows, it is best to use a liquid waterproof agent for this.
• It is best to draw an arrow on the impending eyelid with an open eye, so all its residual area will be visible. Another way out in this case can be an elongated letter V, which lies “on its side”, it should outline the outer corner of the eye.

• If you don't know how to draw the perfect winged eyes with downturned corners, then focus on lifting them. The inner corners must be kept open and draw two identical arrows, bringing them up.
• Round eyes are best to lengthen. To achieve this effect, you need to draw an arrow, thickening it in the center, at the edges it should remain less thick.
• Owners of wide-set eyes should visually reduce the distance between them. In this case, it is necessary to slightly extend the arrow to the bridge of the nose and draw so that it does not leave the border of the outer corner.
• You need to do the opposite. When drawing an arrow, it is necessary to indent from the inner corner of the eye, and from the outer corner, the arrow is slightly lengthened and directed upwards.

Common Mistakes

Many girls fail to make up perfectly even arrows, because they constantly make the same mistakes. In training videos, few people voice those aspects that can interfere with drawing a beautiful arrow.

Therefore, this issue needs to be dealt with once and for all:

• Starting the drawing of arrows, many look in the mirror not directly in front of them, but from the side, thinking that it is much more convenient this way. But in the end, the arrows are not as smooth as they seem from the side. Therefore, when doing makeup, it is best to look straight ahead.
• There are many rules that tell how to draw perfectly straight arrows. However, it is best to start drawing a line from the ciliary row, so it will turn out to be more accurate.
• Many try to bring the tail of the arrow beyond the outer corner. However, it is best for a beginner to lead it in continuation of the mucosa - this way it will lie in the shape of the eye and visually lift it.
• When the arrow is ready, gaps can be seen between the cilia. To prevent this from happening, you can pre-fill dark shadows into the ciliary row.
• For eyes with an impending eyelid, you need to draw very thin and neat arrows. Wide lines will make the look even more heavy.

• Summing up the arrow, the skin of the eyelid should be lifted up with your fingers, while the eyes should be slightly opened.
• First you need to draw a thin line, if desired, you can always expand it.
• The arrow should be displayed so that the area between it and the lash line is carefully painted over.
• Most girls go with arrows, the tips of which are directed upwards at the outer corners of the eyes.
• If you find it difficult to draw a solid arrow, then apply it in parts, starting from the inner corner of the eye.
• Professional makeup artists recommend not using a liquid texture to draw a line on the lower eyelid - it looks vulgar. At the bottom, it should be thin, barely noticeable and shaded.
• If you want to give the look depth and expressiveness, then use a white pencil to highlight the lower eyelid.

Now, knowing how to draw perfect arrows, you can safely experiment and look for suitable daytime and evening makeup. To make the image more vivid and beautiful, you can use eyeliners of various colors or sparkles.
