Arrows for the impending century: which ones are suitable and how to draw?

A drooping eyelid is a common problem among women. Rather, the women themselves consider it a problem, and from an anatomical point of view, the drooping eyelid is just a feature of the structure of the eyes. If a woman still wants to get rid of this, in her opinion, a flaw, then the correct makeup will help to resolve the issue.

The drooping eyelid is a "heavy" upper eyelid, lowered to the movable one, which creates the appearance of a kind of skin "hood". According to some aesthetes, this feature gives a woman a slightly sad, languid and a little mysterious look, but the carriers of this trait themselves do not think so.

Some ladies choose to take drastic measures to eliminate this problem., for example, to resort to surgery. However, this is not the most affordable and safe option. In addition, the result may not live up to expectations - remember at least the famous Renee Zellweger, who after the operation lost her famous trademark squint, and with it her individual charm.

Other women choose a safer solution to the problem - they change their lifestyle, do special exercises and gymnastics for the eyes, perform massage, use ointments and creams, prepare masks and compresses according to folk recipes. However, these methods are not suitable for eliminating the defect if it is congenital.

The third group of girls prefers, in general, not to eliminate this feature, they know special tricks and subtleties of correct makeup that can turn this seemingly disadvantage into an advantage.

A drooping eyelid can occur as a result of some factors or be a congenital feature. Often the causes are hereditary predisposition, age, sudden weight loss, nationality, allergies, improper lifestyle or edema.

Despite the aesthetic "zest" that drooping eyelids give to a woman's face, this feature also has disadvantages, which are the difficulty of applying makeup:

• cosmetic shadows adhere poorly to the skin and slide into the crease of the eyelid;
• it is difficult to draw neat lines, their ends may "break off", the eyeliner may be printed;
• traces of mascara may remain on the upper eyelid.

For women with heavy upper eyelids, makeup artists are advised to apply thick arrows that fill the entire visible surface of the moving eyelid.

This is the main recommendation of professionals, but there are other options for different types and shapes of eyes:

• basic short arrow - gives eyelashes visual density;
• with two tails - to create the impression of a "sly" look;
• classic - it is a feature that thickens in the direction from the inner corner to the outer, may be the only element in the cosmetic design of a woman's face;

• half arrow - recommended for eyes close to each other, performed from the center of the ciliary line;
• wide arrow - suggested for the formation of a "cat's gaze";
• arabic arrow - usually used for stage make-up or a photo shoot.

You can avoid the "broken" line when embodying eye makeup with overhanging eyelids, focusing on the individual type of appearance. It is worth considering the reason for which you need to create an image. If this is a daytime everyday type, then it is recommended to draw thin arrows. When designing an expressive image for a party or a strict evening event, wide lines are more suitable, visually enlarging the eyes. And also the evening version may contain Egyptian arrows, known to us from the photo of Cleopatra. For subtle creative people, it is recommended to draw wing arrows.

When applying makeup, you must clearly adhere to the characteristic features of your appearance. For each type, there are specific types of arrow design. Application techniques and even cosmetic materials can also vary.

For tapering eyes with overhanging eyelids, a longer arrow is required. Up from the line, shading is carried out, directed towards the eyelashes. According to experts, the use of liquid eyeliner will provoke a visual narrowing of already narrowed eyes, and therefore it is necessary to choose a pencil or shadows for work.

The fold of the eye is covered with dark shadows, the mobile eyelid and the area near the eyebrow are lightened with a pale-colored cosmetic product.

The lower eyelid is highlighted with dark colors, a pencil line is drawn and shading is carried out. It is recommended to blend in the center to round the eyes.

In this situation, shading of dark shadows over the movable eyelid is used to increase. Then an arrow of the same shape is drawn on the movable eyelid, in the outer corner, both lines are connected.

Ladies with an Asian type of appearance are more likely than others to be carriers of this feature. In their case, adjusting the shape of the eyebrows will facilitate the heavy look. As for the arrows, the following options are offered here: you can decorate the movable eyelid in a light tone, and cover the outer corner and the lower eyelid with a dark color; you can also draw a crease on the upper eyelid, this will give the impression of expressive large eyes.

Big eyes are always a virtue of appearance, but with the wrong make-up, they can seem not only too round, but also bulging. A drooping eyelid will aggravate the situation. To draw an arrow, draw a broad line in retro style and emphasize the lower eyelid and mucous membrane. This trick will visually limit and slightly stretch the shape of the eyes.

In this situation, it is required to abandon the expression of the lower eyelid with an arrow, concentrating on the upper one. A good option, often used among famous women with this type of appearance, is to raise the tip, made in a vintage style, from the outer corner, at the same time, the lower eyelid can be emphasized with a pale shine of light tones, and mascara with a lengthening effect can be applied to the eyelashes.

In each case, the angle of inclination of the arrow and the place of bending are selected separately. In recent years, the mini-zigzag version, that is, broken lines, has been popular among top models. This make-up offers pronounced eye-catching arrows and light shadows that soften the accent. This is a good solution for girls with overhanging eyelids.

The step-by-step technology of drawing competent arrows on the eyes with overhanging eyelids is not so simple. It is better to start preparing for the creation of the image in advance, so that if a mistake is made, there is time for correction. Hands should be washed, sitting down, or standing in a comfortable position so that the hands do not shake.

The technique consists of several stages.

• We put the base on the eyelids. Loose powder is also suitable as this composition.
• We mark the future arrow. It is designed to extend the lower eyelid line. The corner of the eye then rises, the gaze becomes more lively and wide open.
• Make-up should be done with eyes open. This is how it is really possible to make the desired feature specifically in the zone that will be visible in the open view.
• We connect the tip of the line with the middle region of the eye and gently draw a line to the pupil.
• Using a pencil, paint over the gap between the indicated lines.
• Extend the line to the inner corner. Pay attention to the fact that the arrow tapers from the outer to the inner corner.
• Carefully draw a line on the lower eyelid to the position of the beginning of the iris.
• To complete the look, apply shadows of light tones on top of the eyelids, tint the eyelashes and slightly curl them.

Sagging eyelids may be accompanied by close eye position.

Then the technique for drawing arrows will be as follows:

• retreating a small distance from the inner corner, draw a line;
• 1/3 of the length along the line of ciliary growth, we draw a stroke along the upper eyelid;
• drawing a similar line on the lower eyelid is allowed - this technology is capable of expanding the eyes;
• we lead a thin arrow from the center of the upper eyelid and gradually thicken it, while the expansion should turn out to be almost invisible.

There are techniques for other features of the eyes in combination with a drooping eyelid.

Below is the daily makeup option for Asian faces:

• cover the moving eyelid with a light shade;
• cover the outer corner with dark tones;
• draw an arrow along the upper eyelid, extend the line from the middle to the outer corner, but do not go beyond the borders;
• if the makeup is everyday, then one layer of mascara is enough.

If drooping eyelids are an age-related feature, then the technique changes slightly. When creating smokey ice makeup, you should abandon the rich black color, preferring brown tones for warm color types, gray for cold ones. When highlighting the area under the eyebrow, you should look at the less pale colors. It is better not to draw a thin line under the eyebrow. It is recommended to emphasize the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid with a white pencil. A good trick is to apply an unconventional eyeliner color and draw attention to such unusual arrows.

An effective procedure that can permanently relieve a woman of the annoying skin "hood" - permanent makeup of the eyelids. Usually, for this type of face, a tattoo with light shading is used. First of all, the master draws the contour of the eye, and then makes a smooth transition to light colors. This visually lifts the eyelid, making the borders softer and more natural.

Often drooping eyelids are a problem for older ladies. Permanent make-up helps to relieve a woman not only of the “tired” look, but also of other age-related problems, for example, it masks fine wrinkles. The procedure creates the appearance of makeup done with shadows and shaded with a pencil. Saves time, as independent morning makeup is no longer required, but it has contraindications, is characterized by pain. In case of the impending eyelid problem, it is recommended to combine eyelid and eyebrow tattooing.

To create the perfect makeup for a client with drooping upper eyelids, make-up artists resort to various tricks and tricks.

• Pink and red shades are forbidden colors in the design of the eyes! These tones are not suitable as they give the appearance of sore, puffy eyes, which already seem heavy due to a drooping eyelid.
• To visually make the eyes wider, draw a false fold with brown shadows in combination with light tones applied under the eyebrow will help.
• To draw arrows, you should use shadows and a pencil, since the eyeliner line is quickly smeared by the drooping eyelid. If you can't do without eyeliner, then you need to choose a product with a waterproof effect.
• During make-up, the eyes must certainly be open, otherwise the future result cannot be predicted.
• To evenly draw a tail designed to extend the lower eyelid, you can resort to using a plastic card. It should be applied to the lower lashes and draw a line of the desired length in the direction from the eye. A plastic card will help create a perfectly straight line.

• When drawing a tail, you do not need to make it very long on a face with overhanging eyelids, but nevertheless there should be a small tail.
• It is necessary to avoid combining the eyeliner line of the lower part of the eye with the arrow, this creates the appearance of even more drooping eyelids.
• It is important to avoid drawing arrows of disproportionate thickness. If the line is thicker in the center and narrows towards the edge, then the eyes will appear distorted.
• It is better to shade the line drawn with a pencil with a special applicator. To apply arrows with shadows, you should purchase a small thick brush with a beveled edge.
• When choosing eyeshadows, it is better to give preference to liquid structures, but not water-based.
• When creating an image, it is better, in general, to refuse to apply mascara to the lower eyelashes, and use it only when dyeing the upper ones.

Among the famous Hollywood stars, many actresses have eyes with drooping eyelids. Skillful makeup makes these famous women a dream come true for millions of men.

For example, Blake Lively never uses pearlescent shadows on the upper eyelid in her makeup and does not apply heavy eyeliner. Basically, the actress in the photo can be seen with a three-dimensional make-up, which is based on the highlighting of the lower part of the inner corner with a slight unusual shading of the outer corners along the upper eyelid. This technique visually enlarges the eye. In addition, the actress ditched a light smoky makeup with matte eyeshadow.

Emma Stone is also not to be seen with dense bright eyeliner around the eyes, she prefers neat discreet arrows combined with shadows of neutral tones.

Eva Mendes is another owner of overhanging eyelids. In her case, the makeup looks neat, since here the emphasis is on the eyeliner along the bottom edge. Stylists pay special attention to the actress's eyebrows, and also use shadows of a neutral color.

Camille Belle never leaves the eyelids colorless, as in her case the lack of hanging eyelids is especially noticeable. She prefers to use smoky makeup and lengthen the eyelashes - with these techniques the actress avoids visual drooping of the eyelids.

Women with the appearance of Rachel Bilson should have a special art of make-up. In her case, drooping eyelids are combined with lowered corners. In her image, we will not see thin eyebrows and arrows protruding beyond the outline of the eye. The most preferable option is to design the eye with a matte liner and cover the eyelids with modest shadows without the effect of visual weight.

Thus, a drooping eyelid is not a serious flaw, it is the same feature of the structure of the face, like a hollow on the cheek or a high forehead, it brings languor, mystery and even sexuality to a woman's gaze. But if a woman still does not feel confident, being endowed with this "zest", then competently selected and performed makeup will help to solve the problem.
