How to draw arrows on eyes with eyeliner?

The arrows on the eyes, drawn with a pencil or eyeliner, instantly make the look more expressive, and the image - glamorous. This is one of the favorite elements of makeup women who came into fashion in the fifties and remain in trend until today. All this is determined by the incredible versatility of this element of eye makeup. It suits every girl and is able to decorate any eyes.

Not everyone manages to make even and beautiful arrows the first time. First, for their application requires some skill. Secondly, for each shape of the eyes you need to choose the most successful version of the arrow. All these problems disappear with practice. Be sure to remember: if it didn’t work out the first time, it’s the fifth or tenth.

It’s not so difficult to draw arrows to yourself. The success of such an enterprise is largely determined by the quality means intended for this. You can beautifully draw arrows with the help of all products: liquid or dry liners, pencils or felt-tip pens. Just each of them has certain features that should be considered.

Let's look at how best to handle each type of eyeliner:

Dry eyeliner

With its help to draw the easiest - with a certain experience and skill. Such a tool looks like a regular can of paint. By texture, it is dry and solid and needs to be slightly diluted with water for use.

The advantage of such an eyeliner over other means is that you can make any consistency of the composition that is convenient for you. It is best to do not too liquid, and creamy texture. So the composition is easier to apply, it will not spread and grease. Such a product has a not very saturated color (compared to liquid or gel counterparts), therefore, to create a clear black line, you may have to brush it several times. Another advantage of dry liner is their amazing economy. In a jar there is a concentrated product, it is required to create a little makeup, so you can use one package for a very long time.

Liquid eyeliner

Thanks to her, you can make very clear and spectacular arrows. To draw a line, you need to practice a little, because it can be somewhat unusual for a brush to be worn by someone who has always used a pencil. It can be gel or cream, a little different in texture, and is available in jars, as well as dry.

Gel option is more suitable for beginners, it does not dry out instantly, so in case of failure, the wrong strokes can be easily removed. Usually, liquid types of liner are waterproof, do not spread under the action of rain, moisture and tears. They have a rich charcoal color and allow you to create both everyday and bright festive image. Cream liner is not so bright color, but more convenient to apply and has a high resistance. Makeup with her will not have to correct all day.

Pencil

With it, it is easier to learn to draw arrows. The line thus turns easier and smoother. You can experiment with it with the thickness and length of the line, because to remove and erase the pencil is much easier. For those who already know how to use a pencil, but who he does not like, it is quite possible to draw the eyes in the usual way, and the result will be rounded with liner.This form of means is used to create wide arrows (along with the use of shadows). However, this option will not be able to maintain its durability for a long time.

Felt tip pen

You can use it about the same as a pencil. The marker (or liner) is a combination of a pencil and a liquid component. The shape of it is the same as the usual drawing tool, it has a felt tip. They are convenient to use, like a pencil, but you can get a clear and bright option, as when using the gel. It is very convenient when using this tool to use the method of initially putting points on the future path of the line.

Each type of liner can be used in different ways. Women in the process of using various means and creating various forms of makeup usually choose one way, which is then followed. In this case, there is always room for imagination and the application of new techniques.

The arrow line can be led from the middle, and you can start from the inner corner of the eye. In some situations, the arrow create strokes. First, spend a segment from the inner corner to the middle, then mark the tip, and at the end combine the resulting strokes, forming a single line. The contour can even be formed from a set of points that mark the future arrow. Points are put on the growth of eyelashes and set the bend. In the process of their connection, bending and line thickness can be adjusted.

Liners can vary not only in texture, but also in color. The standard shade for this product is black. It can be different saturation and shades, but is universal. This color is suitable for all women and is used to create day and evening images.

You should not stop your choice only on black, because the cosmetic industry offers other interesting options. Brown is also very popular. It can be various shades. Its use makes the image more light and weightless, perfectly completing everyday makeup. Even the dark shades of this color look more natural than black. The main thing is that they should be correctly matched to the hair color and not have unnatural redheads.

In addition to standard (brown, black eyeliner shades), the beauty industry also offers other bright colors: blue, green, purple. Such juicy shades (as well as the addition of sparkles) will help to make the evening make-up non-trivial and unique. Cosmetic companies also offer neon eyeliners that are becoming fashionable when creating creative makeup. Separately, they are usually not used. It is better to combine with black, in which case the eyes will be very bright and memorable.

A very important point when using a liquid or cream eyeliner is the choice of a brush. You can use the thinnest makeup brush to paint neat lines. Many girls use very fine, high-quality brushes that are not intended for cosmetics. A thin and even line allows you to draw a beveled brush. In any case, you will first have to try several options and then decide which tool suits you best.

Types of arrows a lot. They are distinguished by their thickness, the beginning of the line, eyeliner of the lower eyelid, tips. They can fit different types of eyes and create images suitable for different occasions. Consider the features of the main types of arrows.

• Simple - is a thin eyeliner of the upper eyelid, starting at the inner corner of the eye.

• Basic - The line on the entire width of the upper eyelid, thin, but somewhat thicker than the simple. The tips of a simple and basic species are not bent and end at the outer corner of the eye.
• Double - This is a continuation of the basic arrow with the transition to the lower eyelid to its middle.
• Classic - this form is a line above the upper eyelid, without a pronounced tip.Its main feature is a thin start and a gradually thickening tip.

• Corner down - has a basic shape, but the corner at the outer side of the eye is bent, continuing the trajectory of the outer eyelid. With such a form it is worth being careful, it does not suit every eye shape.
• Fatty - is a thickened version of the classic features.
• Pin-up - It is very similar to the classic arrow, but it has a characteristic flirtatious tip bent upwards. It is considered ideal when the direction of the tip visually continues the line of the lower eyelid.
• Cat - this arrow also rises up, but has a more pronounced thickening near the outer corner of the eye and a sharp tip that makes the line above the growth of eyelashes almost straight, and the look languid.
• Double corner - resembles a pin-up in shape, but has a forked tail at the end.

• Arab - The arrow goes all over the upper and lower eyelids and has thickening from the outer corner of the eye, but does not cover the slug in the inner corner. In this place it is torn and from above slightly hangs down, creating a special shape.
• Luxurious - the form is very similar to the Arabic one, but the inner corner of the eye is completely circled, which gives an irresistible expressiveness to the look and confidence in the image.
• Sleepy - the upper eyelid in this variant is emphasized in a basic way, and the lower one - with a rather thick stroke to the middle of the eye. The bottom edge can even be shaded to achieve the full effect. This option would be a good solution for eyes that have an elevated external angle.

• Egyptian - repeats the shape of a luxurious, completely outlining the eye, while it has a characteristic curved tail and a small branch of the line below in the outer corner of the eye. This makes the makeup look like an Egyptian hieroglyph, and the look makes it more open, giving it an almond shape.
• Modern - combines a classic top line, a thin eyeliner of the lower eyelid and an additional line from the tip of the arrow going along the crease of the moving eyelid.

• Open wings - quite a spectacular option, is a pin-up arrow on top, rather thick version at the bottom, with a small tip bent downwards. It creates an interesting and dynamic effect, not much loading image.

Draw all kinds of arrows you need, as close as possible to the contour of the growth of eyelashes. This will make the perfect thin arrows. If necessary, they are easy to expand to the desired volume. For large and wide arrows it is better to use a special wide brush. This, with proper skill, will make a clearer contour, and the makeup will eventually be more even and graphical.

Girls who are happy owners of large almond-shaped eyes can use any form of arrows. Such eyes are considered ideal and are excellent for various experiments with the image. Especially they fit the classic arrows.

Wide-set eyes should be framed by a rather wide stroke starting at the inner corner of the eye. In this case, the tail of the arrows should not move away much. You can complete the stroke with a thin line on the lower eyelid for the growth of eyelashes. Natalya Vodianova has wide-set eyes, you can draw a few ideas in her make-up.

If the eyes have a close landing, it is logical to start drawing an arrow from the middle of the century. Tail can be made arbitrary length. The lower eyelid can also be brought, starting from the middle. For understanding, you can look at the makeup, for example, Scarlett Johansson.

Small eyes like u Megan Foxcan be visually increased by starting the cat-like arrow from the visual middle of the eye. Its tip can be pulled out behind the eyelashes and have a thickening on the outer corner of the eye. The lower eyelid can also be let down, but with this you need to be especially careful. With this form of the eye, a bad eyeliner can narrow it even more, and make up a messy makeup.

Too big eyes help to visually make more narrow and close to the ideal eyeliner of both eyelids. In this case, the lower eyelid can be brought along the inner edge, closer to the eye. An example of this style can serve as makeup Mila Kunis.

Christina Ricci is the owner of the round shape of the eyes. In her make-up, the arrow begins at a quarter of a century's length, receded from the inner corner. Its tip can be extended, and the lower eyelid is also let down. However, you can not do this over the growth of eyelashes.

Narrow eyes, like Lucy liu, will help to expand the arrow, which has a thickening in the middle. Long tail should not be. You can use the classic option.

Eyes lowered like a Julianne moore, can be corrected with an upturned arrow tip. In the lower eyelid, the line is also allowed, but it should not go along the inner eyelid and be too thin.

Raised corners will help correct the line with a thickening in the middle of the eye. Let the tail be thin, and the lower eyeliner goes through the inner eyelid.

Double arrows can be made as usual with black color, and can be distinguished with some unusual one. And with the help of color it is emphasized branching. This will be a good option for going to a party.

For some types of makeup, you can use a specially prepared or purchased stencil. To create perfect arrows (like a cat's eye), you need to attach a stencil and draw a line along it, this will help to make it clear, do not stain the eyelid. The prepared stencil can be used further as many times as necessary.

In the process of applying eye makeup using eyeliner, you need to consider a few points that will make it more easy and correct:

• To improve the durability of eye makeup after the usual eye care product you need to apply a base under makeup, and then a thin layer of powder. Powder can be a usual shade or transparent. Then put the shadows that are suitable for the selected image. Even if the use of shadows is not intended, such preparation will not only make the makeup particularly resistant, but also visually present the look more open and expressive.
• To make the perfect arrows, you need to fix the elbow of the working hand. It is convenient to put it on a flat hard surface of the dressing table. This will not allow the hand to flutter and give the opportunity to hold the line evenly and accurately.

• You can sum up your eyes with different tools and using different techniques. Either the line is quickly and smoothly applied to the eyelid, or the future contour can be marked with dots, and then connected into a solid arrow. In the second embodiment, the arrow can be applied to any desired thickness, while adjusting its direction. This method is good for beginners and mastering a new tool for drawing.
• The drawing scheme of arrows can be any suitable for the type of eyes. At the same time the line should always be applied as close as possible to the border of the growth of eyelashes. Between the eyelashes and eyeliner should not be lumen.
• With the help of a brush you can shade the boundaries of the eyeliner. So you can make-up eyes in a very popular style "Smoky Eyes".

• On eyeliner you can apply dark shadows, you need to use a thin wet brush for this. This will help to emphasize and slightly lengthen the cilia.

Learning to beautiful and easy to sum up eyes is not that difficult. It is enough to regularly train as much as it is necessary for you. Small recommendations will help in this matter, in which we will consider how to apply eyeliner step by step for ever:

1. Draw a thin ruler with eyeliner or pencil as close to the eyelashes as possible. You can even draw the space between the pages. This initial line may not be very smooth and neat, because then later on it will be another eyeliner.But still try to make the eyelid more smooth, for this you can slightly tilt your head back, cover your eyes or slightly pull it with your finger.
2. Decorate the tip of the arrow and its outer edge. The tail can be of different lengths, bend up more or less, split apart depending on your preferences, make-up subjects and eye shape. In the classical form, the arrow tip continues the line of the lower eyelid and is not very long. The classic shape fits most girls and is universal for day and evening look.
3. The outer edge and the original border are carefully connected to each other, forming the contour of the arrow, and it is painted over. The tail of the arrow should be thin and spicy. The line itself should be thin at the inner corner of the eye and more solid at the outer.

There may be variations in applying makeup with eyeliner, but the meaning remains similar.

To make the line smooth with no proper experience, you can use some tricks:

• Some ladies give advice for creating a successful arrow. It is necessary to take a dry and clean little spoon, attach it to the eye from the outside so that the curved part forms the tail of the arrow. Using the cutlery to bring the arrow can be very easy, without fear of losing and getting into the wrong place.
• Others leave a recommendation to use sponge for makeup as a stencil. The sharp corner of this accessory is applied to the outer corner and a line is drawn along its edge.
• If the edges of the arrow turned out not very smooth, there is no way to erase them, as in the case of liquid eyeliner, use a light pencil or concealer to correct makeup.
• Plaster or tape can also be used as a limiter. It is glued under the upper eyelid, forming the line of the tail of the arrow, which must be drawn. With this device it is easy to make graphical and clear arrows, you can not be afraid to climb over the edge and make it uneven. The main thing when gluing is not to touch the cilia, the result can be deplorable.

• If your pencil for drawing arrows is too hard, hold the tip over a match or a lighter for thirty seconds and it will become noticeably softer and easier to use.

Judging by the comments on the Internet, it can be concluded that many girls have problems with drawing arrows for centuries. Many people like the recommendation to use adhesive tape or patch. Others say they used the ruler to learn.

It is important to remember that sooner or later you will still learn how to make out beautiful eyes. Your work will undoubtedly be rewarded, the main thing is not to deviate from the goal.
