Beautiful arrows on the eyes: briefly about the form

The impression of the makeup depends on both the accuracy and the shape of the drawn arrow. To find "your" option, you need to determine the shape of the eyes:

  1. European type- closer to the inner corner of the eyeliner should be as thin as possible, the arrow smoothly expands from the middle of the eyelid to the outer corner of the eye, the "tail" is raised and small;
  2. drooping eyelid- only the inner part of the eyelid (from the side of the mucous membrane) and the space between the eyelashes should be brought in, the “tail” is neatly displayed at the outer corner of the eye, you should not draw the arrow on the visible part of the upper eyelid above the eyelashes;
  3. Asian type- the eyeliner should be continuous from the inner corner of the eye outward, you need to draw a wide, even line, this technique will allow you to "round" the narrow shape;
  4. close fit- for close-set eyes, draw arrows starting from the middle of the eyelid and without affecting the area of ​​the inner corners;
  5. lowered outer corners- the line of the lower eyelid must not be overloaded, the "tail" of the arrow is displayed at an angle of 45 degrees to the eyebrow.

Which pencil is suitable for arrows?

A good eyeliner should have a creamy texture, it will allow you to draw the arrows neatly, without pressure or stretching the delicate skin of the eyelids. In this case, the lead should not be too soft, because for the perfect line, the pencil will have to be sharpened regularly. Mechanical liners will let you forget about constant sharpening - they have the optimal thickness for both thin and graphic eyeliners. For everyday use, options with a matte or satin finish are suitable, for an evening look or Smoky Eyes, you can use a liner pencil with a shimmery effect.

Two basic techniques for applying eyeliner

  1. Draw a line from pre-plotted points... It is necessary to carefully mark the place where the arrow will pass with small dots. Then smoothly connect the dots into one clear line.
  2. Drawing a line using the hatching method... When the arrow is drawn with small short strokes. Then these strokes are re-painted with a second even and even layer of eyeliner.
  3. Drawing a line with liquid eyeliner according to the outlined drawing with a pencil. Since it is easier to remove eyeliner imperfections than eyeliners. First you need to paint and draw the shape of the future arrow with an eyeliner, and then apply eyeliner on top.

For flawless and long-lasting eye makeup, you need to follow a few rules:

  1. So that the drawn arrow does not smear with such difficulty after a few hours and the eye makeup remains for a long time in its original form, you need to degrease the eyelid with a tonic or lotion before applying. Applying a primer or powder and using a waterproof, high-quality eyeliner will also help.
  2. Starting to draw an arrow, you need to find a comfortable position and rest the elbow of the hand with which you will draw on a flat surface. So, the hand will not move and you will get an even and neat line.
  3. There is no need to stretch the eyelid, as in this case there is a great risk of drawing the arrow in the wrong shape. The eyes should be open, looking slightly downward, the upper eyelid slightly lowered.
  4. Excess liquid eyeliner should be removed from the brush so as not to leave a stain on the eyelid, instead of a thin line.
  5. You can paint your eyes with eyeliner with or without an arrow. The eyeliner can only fill in the space between the eyelashes and draw a small line ending in the corner of the eye.
  6. If you draw an arrow, its slope is determined as follows: the arrow should continue the direction of the lower eyelid and go to the temples. The arrowhead can be short and visually create a shadow from the eyelashes or be longer for a cat-eye effect.
  7. You can also choose the thickness of the line and arrow to your taste, thin or thick. Usually, the line starts thinly at the inner corner of the eye and gradually widens towards the outer corner.
  8. For lower lash liner, choose a waterproof eyeliner.
  9. After you have drawn the arrow, let it dry and do not close your eyes or open your eyes too much so that there are no prints left.

To draw a thin arrow you need to start drawing from the inner corner of the eye. Very thinly, with the very tip of the brush, begin to move the brush as close to the lash line with gentle movements as possible. Draw a small arrow. We remove all the irregularities in the second step, once again we go through the eyeliner along the eyelid, removing all the shortcomings.

To draw a thick, spectacular arrow you must first outline its outline.

  • You can use eyeliner to mark the location for the arrow. Draw a small tick from the edge of the outer corner of the eye and up, connecting to the crease of the eyelid (Photo 1).
  • Continue marking, going into the eyelid itself and draw a thick line above the upper lashes - the line should be thin at the inner corner and widen towards the outer corner (photo 2).
  • Smoothly connect the arrow with the upper lash liner (photo 3).
  • If you are satisfied with the shape of the arrow - circle the top with liquid eyeliner (photo 4).

To paint your eyes with a gel eyeliner, you will need a brush, usually it comes complete with a jar of gel liner. First, you need to mark the angle and slope of the arrow, draw a line above the eyelashes and paint over the eyelid inside.

Part 1.

Only a very lazy one has not heard about arrows this season - there were a lot of them at the shows, different, the shapes were absolutely fantastic, the colors too. Meanwhile, not every crooked beauty blogger (I mean myself) has learned to draw the most ordinary arrows with dignity -)). Therefore, for a comment on how and what to do with arrows, Nikolai II went to MAC to see Katerina Ponomareva, a leading makeup artist. Because Katya is known for her rrrraz skill - and it is easy and simple to draw a perfect arrow.

What Katya said:

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

What to draw

You can use makeup that works best for you to create the arrows, from pencils and creamy eyeliner to a marker or eyeshadow.

Eyeliner This method of creating an arrow is quite simple to use, it allows you to mix several shades - just 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 of the inner eyelid. However, there is a small drawback: the pencil can be erased quickly, so it is better to give preference to stable M.A.C. pencils.

Liquid eyeliner provides the clearest and most long-lasting eye makeup. When choosing an eyeliner, you should pay attention to a 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 arrow line.

MAC Liquid Eye Liner

Gel eyeliner very pliable, easy to apply and adjust with a beveled synthetic brush.

Felt-tip pen- the most convenient eyeliner option for beginners. Its significant disadvantage is that the felt-tip pen dries up pretty quickly.

MAC Penultimate Eye Liner

Also, arrows can be applied using eye shadow and beveled brush... It is worth noting that before applying the shadows as an eyeliner, you should moisten the brush, and then start drawing.

By 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 arrow shape, you should choose not only the type of eyeliner, but also the type of arrow that suits your eye shape.

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

If you are the owner round or convex eyes, then using the arrows they can be adjusted. Starting in the middle of the eye a little lift the arrow up for a wider line, then sharpen it smoothly... This will help to visually give the eye a more almond shape.

Thin arrows ideal for oriental type... The tip of the arrow only needs to be raised slightly upward, slightly beyond the boundaries of the outer corner.

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

Visually enlarge small eyes you can use a light-colored eyeliner and arrows with extended tip.

The first thing to remember: the arrow needs to be drawn with an open eye.

To make it easier for you to draw a smoother and more symmetrical arrow, mark the arrow line as close to the eyelash edge with small strokes with a black kayal pencil.

Pencil Eye Kohl Smolder

Then, using the # 208 Brush, paint the outline of the arrow with Fluideline Black Gel Liner, starting a line from the center of the eye towards the outer corner.

Place an inconspicuous point with dry shadows where the arrow will end, then carefully connect the line of the main liner to this point.

Shadows MAC Naked Lunch and Shroom

Make sure that the tip of your arrow was not pointing down... Contour the arrow with the 263 brush, carefully filling in the gaps along the ciliary edge.

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

How to determine the direction of an 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 ideally fits your eye shape.

Chips

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

For a smoother line, it is best to rest your elbow on a table or other stable surface.

When creating the outline of the arrow, look directly in front of you in the mirror, without moving your head to the side.

Flesh-colored eyeshadow or sheer powder evens out the lids for sharper, more lasting eyelids.

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 makes the eyes appear larger.

Part 2.

In the first part of the project “Learning makeup from makeup artists”, Katya Ponomareva, MAC makeup artist, spoke 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 markers and pencils for drawing arrows. And I saw how Nika draws arrows: once - and you're done. Dream))

Advice from Niki Kislyak, L'Oreal Paris

The form

The ideal arrows can be chosen for any eye, just for some eyes it will be a very thin arrow, more reminiscent of an eyelash contour, and for others it will be wide, in the spirit of Amy Winehouse. The only exception is eyes with a heavily overhanging upper eyelid.

Preparation

The eyelids must be prepared for the application of the eyeliner. Wipe them with Trio Active Comfort cleansing wipes.

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

If you focus on the eyes in your makeup, 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.

Another tip that greatly simplifies the process: take an eyeliner of a not very dark shade and outline the arrows on both eyes - length, curve. And only when the result suits you completely, circle the line with the liner. This can be time-consuming at first, but when you do what works for you a couple of times and memorize the shape, it will be much easier.

Help yourself: With the fingers of your free hand, pull the outer corner of your eyelid to your temple, and then draw a line. It is even better that the hand with which you are drawing has support, and 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 lashes.

Error correction

If it becomes necessary to correct the arrows, use the same napkins, a cotton swab dipped in a mild eye make-up remover (for example, also Trio Active). The most convenient way to remove inaccuracies in makeup is to use a stiff synthetic brush slightly dipped in the same product, it works like an eraser, with one confident movement you remove the excess.

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

People do not know how to speak right away, they do not immediately learn to walk, so why do you need to stop after the first unsuccessfully drawn arrows? Stuff your hand on your friend, practice on 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!

Ideal shooters for you!

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

And I almost forgot: one more bonus.

Which mascara to choose?

First of all, mascara should be combined with eyeliner. If you are drawing thick lines, you need volumetric mascara. If thin - in this case, choose an extension mascara. First, apply the mascara to the roots of your lashes - it will blend in with the eyeliner and fill in the unpainted areas. Then paint over the cilia at the outer edge of the eye for a more open look. Remember, you do not need to paint the lower lashes with lengthening mascara - this will make your look heavier.

Now for sure - perfect shooters).

1. "Cat's eyes"Seductive and mysterious. Starting in the middle, thin lines lead along the lower and upper eyelids, gradually thickening them. In the corner of the eyes, in no case should you connect the lines - it is better to shade the gap between them with light shadows.

2. Wide arrows rising up will also become fashionable in the new season.

3. Thin sharp arrows, despite their tradition, will again be relevant. It is better to apply them from the edge of the eyelid to the edge, having previously shaded light shadows over the eyelid. In this case, a mechanical pencil will be preferable to a gel pencil.

4. Double color block arrows, so popular last season, will not give up their positions. The first arrow is best done with a bold eyeliner of a classic black color, and on top of it, it is already brightly contrasting colors: yellow, raspberry, light green.

Have you already settled on one of the proposed types? Before you learn how to draw arrows in front of your eyes, take the second step - find out if the shape of the arrows you have chosen matches the cut and shape of your eyes.

There are no universal arrow shapes: some of them emphasize the charm of slanted eyes, others open wide narrow eyes, and still others narrow too large ones. What exactly is right for you?

- for small eyes arrows drawn along the lower eyelid and black are contraindicated: a golden or silver line extending upward will visually increase the eyes;

- if you want to know how to draw arrows correctly with narrow eyes, it will be enough to take into account one nuance: do not draw arrows in the corners of the eyes, limit yourself to a wide eyeliner in the center of both the upper and lower eyelids;

- Round eyes need a wide line of dark eyeliner;

- to the owners close-set eyes it is recommended to start the eyeliner line only from the middle of the century, gradually thickening it;

- eyeliner line wide-set eyes should be extended in a thin line throughout the entire upper eyelid.

The secret of beautiful arrows is not only in their shape and eye shape. Correctly selected colors mean a lot.

How to draw arrows on the eyes: choose a color

The third step in drawing pretty arrows is to choose a color: - black: a win-win, classic version of the eyeliner, relevant in any situation and in any season;

- Brown: soft option for natural makeup;

- blue: cold eyeliner option;

- green: the most relevant, mysterious, incredibly beautiful color of the eyeliner should be in harmony primarily with the color of the eyes and clothes;

- bright hues (golden, silver, flesh, pearlescent, white, bluish): good for festive makeup, beneficial in that when applied to the lower eyelid, they visually open the eyes, making them wider.

Liner colors can be advantageously varied as follows:

- the upper eyeliner is darker than the lower one: the effect of wide-open eyes;

- perform general eye makeup in gray tones, bring the lower eyelid in a color that matches the color of the eyes: the eyes will become brighter and shine beautifully;

- when making up eyes in natural shades, make the lower eyeliner to match the clothes - this will feel the integrity of the image.
