How to draw arrows with eyeliner?

Arrows are a real make-up classic. With the help of arrow eyeliner, women create a charming, expressive look that can drive any member of the opposite sex crazy. Do not forget that eyeliner corrects some flaws, more precisely, the shape of the eyes, hides traces of fatigue. However, not every variation of the arrows is suitable for certain eyes. And drawing them is a real art.

The first people to use the eyeliner technique were the Egyptians. True, they pursued completely different goals than creating a beautiful image. They drew arrows as protection from bright sunlight and from multiple skin infections, of which there were a lot at that time. The eyeliner of that time was made of ash and antimony. This mixture was called kayal. By the way, these days this is the name of a greasy cosmetic pencil, which does not differ in the effect of durability.

Almost all professional makeup artists prefer gel liners. The plastic texture of the presented cosmetic product not only fits evenly on the upper eyelid, but also allows you to correct the shape of the arrows until the eyeliner is fixed on the eyes.A high-quality liner can last forever for a whole day, which is extremely important for every woman.

It should be noted that gel eyeliner fits perfectly on the mucous membrane of the eyes. Using a special brush of a small size, it is possible to process the space between the eyelashes. By the way, the gel-type eyeliner is an ideal option for compiling a smoky ice base.

To use the presented eyeliner option, a woman will need several additional tools: cotton swabs, sponges and a stencil. In this case, you do not have to purchase a brush: it is built into the eyeliner cap by default. With the help of a liquid liner, a woman can create arrows of various thicknesses. And also, make-up artists emphasize certain accents in the appearance of the fair sex.

A very convenient cosmetic tool for home use. In simple terms, this is a felt-tip type eyeliner. Remarkably, there is no need to use brushes to apply it. Such an eyeliner has a thin tip through which the coloring mixture appears. The convenience of using the eyeliner marker is the ability to change the thickness of the arrows at will. If necessary, you can draw thin lines with a sharp tip, or, conversely, make thick stripes.

Not every woman can draw arrows with a cosmetic pencil. And they use such a common cosmetic product only for shading. And for this work you will need a special brush. The main thing is to check that the pencil is sharp before you start drawing arrows. His lead should slide smoothly over the eyelid, and not move like sandpaper.

This option involves creating more effect from pencil arrows. With the help of shadows, it will be possible to draw perfectly even corners of the eyes. The main thing is to use a base for the shadows. After applying it, it is important to wait until the base is completely dry. Only after this is it allowed to start drawing. A dark shadow color is applied closer to the lashes. Feathering is done with lighter shades.

The existing makeup options require the use of different variations of the brushes. Some will be thin, others will be thick, there are also medium solutions. They are divided by numbers. With brushes, you can not only draw arrows, but also correct flaws, for example, from a gel liner.

Every woman should be able to draw arrows in front of her eyes. The prominent eyeliner line emphasizes the depth and expressiveness of the look. However, it is impossible to draw perfectly straight arrows the first time, especially if you use liquid eyeliner to create thin lines. It is much easier to use a gel-based liner. Without experience drawing arrows on your own, you should not tackle complex effects. First you need to learn how to correctly create classic lines.

And now we propose to study in more detail the method of creating beautiful and even classic arrows.

• Next, you need to go to the mirror, stand up straight, without throwing your head back. In no case should you be zealous with facial expressions. As men say, when women paint their eyes, they wrinkle their foreheads and open their mouths. In this case, it is important to keep your face completely calm and start painting only with an open eye.

• Initially, the upper mucosa and the distance between the eyelashes should be darkened. Otherwise, the drawn arrow will seem like a foreign object, and the makeup itself will be crumpled, unfinished.

• Further, on one of the eyelids, a neat thin line is drawn from the inner corner of the eye to the outer one. The second eyelid is painted over in a similar way.

• After creating identical lines, you need to set the direction of the arrows themselves. To do this, it is important to take a closer look at the lower line of the mucous membrane of the eye. From its outer corner, a small straight line should be drawn with the liner towards the temple. The same should be done on the other eye.

• Now the most crucial stage has come - the connection of the created lines. You need to look at yourself in the mirror, stand up straight. With a gentle movement of the hand, a line is drawn from the tip of the arrow to the middle of the eyelid.
