Now it remains to take the last step: learn how to draw arrows on the eyes correctly.

Eyeliner is a popular eye makeup element that can work wonders if done right.

Using the arrows, you can not only adjust the shape, size of the eyes and their fit, but also change the facial expression.

Neat arrows require skill from every woman who wants to emphasize the look in this way. In addition to craftsmanship, quality tools and cosmetics, created specifically for drawing arrows.

Modernity has given women and girls the opportunity to do makeup with high-quality and convenient cosmetics. Gone are the days when you had to be sophisticated and draw arrows with lead paint using a tool that vaguely resembles a spoon.

Today, eye arrows are created using the following means and tools:

contour pencils
liquid eyeliners
Gel eyeliners
Pressed liners
Felt pens (markers)

New generation contour pencils are distinguished by a variety of colors and lead quality. The latter can be soft, medium and hard. Thanks to this, you can choose a pencil for oily and dry skin of the eyelids, for young or old skin.

In addition, the different quality of the stylus allows you to choose the best pencil for drawing different arrows: whether it’s a “cat’s eye” or “ smoky eyes" and so on.

The color palette of pencils allows you to individually approach each color type and preferences of girls. Various shades of gray, black, blue, brown - allow you to adjust the shape, size and shape of the eyes, as well as the depth and width of the fit.

Recently, another variety of pencils has appeared - shadow pencils. This tool differs in a more rounded and wide stylus, and the diameter of the entire pencil. These pencils are presented in a very wide range. color palette, and therefore will become excellent remedy to create festive and outrageous arrows.

Pencils currently available are mechanical and automatic, wooden and plastic. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages, which we wrote about earlier.

Liquid eyeliners, they are liners appeared much later than pencils. Today they are produced by all leading manufacturers, and have found their fans among millions of women. Young girls especially like these eyeliners for their glossy finish and rich pigment.

The packaging of liquid eyeliner is a small vial and an elastic thin brush. This makes it very convenient to use. It is worth remembering that drawing arrows in front of the eyes with this tool requires a little experience. This is especially true for those who have "trembling" hands. But it’s worth getting the hang of how the arrows turn out to be just perfect.

Eyeliner allows you to create arrows of varying complexity. Thanks to the ability to shade the arrow, you can create different makeup.

Liquid eyeliners are typically black, jet black and brown. It is rare to find colored liquid eyeliners. At the same time, some manufacturers have a collection of eyeliners with glitter to create a festive make-up.

Gel eyeliners conquered many girls at first sight. This product has long gone beyond the professional environment. Today, gel eyeliner is available to everyone. In addition, this product is now also produced by budget companies, so you can purchase such an eyeliner at a very nice price.

Gel eyeliner has a consistency corresponding to its name and it is stored in a small jar. Eyeliner, as a rule, is completed with a brush for application.

Unlike liquid eyeliner, gel eyeliner gives a matte finish, while its color can be deeper.

Like liquid liner, gel liner requires a little skill in drawing arrows. From the first time, despite its consistency, it will be difficult to draw a smooth and neat arrow.

The color range of gel eyeliners is similar to liquid eyeliners. Knowing the application technique, you can draw arrows of varying complexity, with and without shading.

Pressed (dry) liners- These are, in fact, shadows that have a denser consistency than eyeshadows. Thanks to this, with the help of a brush, you can draw a rich arrow that will not “disperse” along the eyelid, and will remain clear throughout the entire time the makeup is on the face.

Unlike other types of eyeliners, this product allows you to create softer arrows. At the same time, eyeliner is suitable for any make-up - evening, day, everyday and so on.

The color range of pressed eyeliners is varied, so this a good option for summer and holiday make-up.

Felt pens (markers) is the most modern variety eyeliner. Outwardly, the cosmetic felt-tip pen is very similar to its artistic "brother". This product combines the benefits of a pencil and liquid eyeliner.

Thanks to the easy glide of the felt tip over the skin of the eyelids, even beginners will be able to draw simple arrows.

The color scheme of felt-tip pens can be varied. The most popular color is, of course, black.

Thus, today every woman, girl has a huge assortment for creating beautiful arrows.

To do right and beautiful make-up, it is not necessary to be professional makeup artist. Of course, knowledge and skills are needed, but for this it will be quite sufficient to watch video tutorials on makeup.

For example, it is quite realistic to learn how to draw arrows in front of your eyes, video, watching. After several views of different videos, you can feel confident in your hands, even the most “trembling”.

To make the training video as useful as possible, you should do this:

View several videos and select those in which the author / model has similar facial parameters.

Further, learning to draw arrows in front of your eyes, the video should be selected in the direction of complicating the lessons. Having learned how to clearly draw an arrow for daytime makeup, you can begin to study the rules for correcting eyes with the help of arrows.

So, watching the video, you will find out that the thickness and size of the arrow, as well as its color, can change not only the physical parameters of the eyes, but also change the facial expression beyond recognition.

For example, with the help of a white and black pencil, you can significantly increase the shape of the eyes. To do this, draw the inside of the eyelid with a white pencil. This will widen the eyes. Then, any suitable arrow is drawn - simple or with a "tail".

But if you draw arrows on both the upper and lower eyelids, slightly extend them to the temples, you can narrow your too round eyes.

About other ways to correct the eyes with the help of arrows - we wrote earlier.

Separately, I would like to note the frequent mistakes and misconceptions about the arrows, which prevent you from gaining the right knowledge and skills in drawing arrows and creating makeup - in general. And this is not always talked about in commercials.

The most popular misconceptions are:

Arrows are for everyone! This misconception is often the reason why a big mistake is made in the creation of makeup. Arrows, no matter how fashionable it may be, are categorically contraindicated for women with small eyes.

It doesn't matter how you draw the arrow! Today, this is not at all true, since in addition to pencils there are many other eyeliners. Each eyeliner gives a different result, so to begin with, you always need to decide on the type of makeup, and then select the tool for drawing the arrow.

Drawing arrows is extremely difficult! Not at all, to comprehend this delicate matter is given to everyone who wishes. Therefore, you should not even allow such a thought, otherwise the matter will never come to training.

Everyone needs to know how to quickly draw arrows in front of the eyes with any type of eyeliner. After all, time for makeup, especially in the morning, as a rule, is not enough. And you always want to look perfect.

So, the first method: draw arrows with a pencil:

Apply base under eye shadow, blend well;
Take a pencil with soft or medium softness, lead and put down three points - one near the inner corner, the second in the middle, just above the growth of the eyelashes and the third - just above the second parallel to the outer edge of the eye;
Connect the lines carefully, trying to make smooth transition. In this case, you need to make sure that the arrow passes clearly along the lash line.

Method two: draw arrows with a pencil and liquid eyeliner:

With a pencil with a hard lead, draw a contour - from the inner edge to the middle, after which we smoothly rise above the lash line. Then, continuing the movement, draw a "tail";
With a liquid eyeliner of the same color, paint over the arrow, leaving no white border between the lash line and the upper outline of the arrow. Instead of a liquid eyeliner, you can take a gel one, but this will take more time.

Method three: draw arrows in front of the eyes with a marker:

Apply a base under the shadows on the eyelids;
Place the felt tip of the marker near the inner corner of the eye at the beginning of the lash line;
Draw a suitable arrow with short movements;
If desired, fix the arrow with a colorless loose powder.

Any of these methods can be easily and quickly performed even for beginners. In addition, these three methods are a good basis for creating more complex arrows and a variety of eye makeup.

In order to draw correct arrows in front of your eyes, you need to start learning how to do it.

Knowing how to make arrows, you should remember the importance of choosing the right type of arrows, eyeliner - its type and color and application technique.

Arrows for the eyes are selected based on the shape and size of the eyes:

Almond shaped eyes are the perfect eye shape that will accentuate any arrows.

Round eyes are favorably emphasized by wide arrows with an overestimated “tail”.

Narrow eyes are best summed up in this way: at the beginning and at the end of the lash line, the arrow should be thin, and wider in the center. At the same time, the transition should be smooth.

It is better not to let small eyes down with arrows. Only in some cases it is possible to make a very thin arrow along the lash line.

Wide-set eyes are emphasized by arrows drawn clearly along the length of the lash line. No need to step back from the inner edge.

Close-set eyes can be emphasized with an arrow that starts from the middle of the eyelid and is drawn along the lash line without a significant upward lift.

T Now, depending on the shape and size of the eyes, the type of eyeliner is selected:

Almond shaped eyes can be lined with any type of eyeliner.
Round eyes are best lined with a pencil. This line is the easiest to shade.
Narrow eyes are best lined with pressed eyeliner or shadows. A pencil with a soft lead is also good.
Small eyes are best lined with liquid eyeliner, which allows you to draw the thinnest arrows.
Regardless of the fit of the eyes, it is equally good to use any type of eyeliner.

Next important point is the color of the eyeliner. Because she happens different color, you can choose the one that most favorably emphasizes the beauty of the eyes.

The main criteria for choosing the color of the arrow are:

Without eyeliner, it is impossible to imagine women famous all over the world - Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe, for whom arrows have become calling card style

How did they appear?

Just since the time ancient egypt originates the history of arrows. Moreover, those first ones had a religious meaning and reproduced the cut cat eyes, but cats were worshiped by the Egyptians as sacred animals. The arrows were applied to the eyes with black paint (a mixture of clay, henna and Nile silt). A narrow stripe from the corner of the eyes reached almost to the ears.

With the campaigns of Macedonian, the Greeks began to let their eyes down, then the Romans. I must say that lead was used for the production of paint. That is why the beauties from Rome grew old early, their skin was literally corroded by lead.

The inhabitants of medieval harems belong to the birth of a new, oriental “arrow” tradition, when the arrows were already drawing with a mixture, where there was antimony from mutton fat, almond oil and basma. It happened that ash was added here.
After a temporary oblivion of the Renaissance, the fashion for summed up eyes was reborn. Italy was the first in Europe of the XIV century to remember them. They painted on the face, which was covered with white so abundantly that it seemed as if an artist was painting on canvas: eyebrows, arrows above the eyes, lips. The flourishing of cosmetics could not be stopped even by the prohibitions of the church. Not only women had to adorn themselves with arrows. The men did this too.

The French took over from Italy. It was here that not just long large lines came into fashion, but ornately curved, twisted into rings, black, purple, blue, burgundy colors.

To XIX century cosmetics were already produced by manufactories. Eyeliners were sold dry, and diluted with water before application. Natural make-up, airy beauty is in fashion. The arrows themselves have become shorter and thinner, often quite short - barely noticeable notches at the corners of the eyes. It was permissible to draw them long and thick only for the ladies of the demimonde.

The last century has made its own adjustments. First small and timid, then sharp and clear, thick with a pointed end on the upper eyelid, like Audrey Hepburn, or very thin, like Twiggy's. The hands went from black to gold and silver, then turned back to black, longer and thicker, but so smooth, curved, feminine.

The modern choice of arrows is not limited by anything, except perhaps by imagination and taste.

Arrows must be perfect

With them, the look becomes expressive. Every woman knows this. But if you think it's not worth it to draw straight arrows - this is a delusion.

Advice!Try to do it the first time. Never again will you call such a thing easy.

Draw the arrows unevenly, crookedly, or not matching one another in length or height, and your makeup will be hopelessly ruined. Will have to start over. Indeed, the impeccability of your image depends on these seemingly ordinary lines drawn on the eyelids.

How to draw arrows correctly?

First, choose the appropriate option for you:

the arrows are sharp and thin, traditional;
wide lines, always in fashion;
double arrows, mystery and chic;
"cat's eyes", cunning and so seductive.

And you need to start with a general make-up on the face, while not touching the eyes: tone the skin, powder, correct the eyebrows. Then, depending on the purpose of makeup (daytime or evening), apply shadows. If there are no shadows in your plans, you skip this moment.

Secrets of the right arrows

Try to draw the line as close as possible to the lash line. You will get the visual impression that the eyelashes are very thick, and at the same time avoid the white strip between the corner of the eye and the arrow - it looks so ugly.
If you don't want your eyes to look sad, point the tip of the arrow up. Usually the line of the lower eyelashes serves as a guide. The arrow serves as its continuation.
On the inner side of the eye, the contour should be barely noticeable, and on the outer side, it should be specially brought up several times.
If shadows are also applied to the eyelids, you should draw arrows on top of them, and fix them on top with shadows of a similar shade.

All irregularities are removed with a cotton swab, which is dipped in a mild makeup remover (without oils) or tonic. When the line came out especially uneven, dark shadows applied from above and shaded to the outer edges of the eyes will help out.
Equally bright eyelashes should be added to bright arrows, so do not forget about mascara.

Having made such a noticeable emphasis on the eyes, take care of the impeccable looking area near the eyes: these are disguised circles under the eyes and even out skin tone.

Advice! Be guided by the given secrets, and the result will not disappoint you.

Arrows and eye shape

When summing up the eyes, their shape is always taken into account. This rule remains very important. An incorrect line, just like an uneven one, is a spoiled make-up, not to mention the image.

For eyes that hang over the eyelids, a thin, unsweeping arrow is ideal.
A wider arrow will become a decoration for round eyes.
Having eyes set close, it is better to draw a line from the middle of the century, thickening it at the same time. When the eyes are set, on the contrary, wide, a thick line of arrows should be drawn along the entire upper eyelid.

Remember! Eyeliner suits all absolutely women. The main thing is to draw them correctly and choose from the many those that suit you perfectly.

Makeup Options

There are many options for arrows for the eyes. The most famous and popular:

Through the entire upper eyelid. Suitable for the eyes round shape. By changing the thickness of the arrow, directing it to the temple, you will visually stretch the eye.
Through the upper and lower eyelids. They can connect at the outer corner of the eye, or the inner. They may remain isolated. The thickness of the arrows may also depend on the situation. They will perfectly complement the evening, masquerade or holiday make-up.

On the lower eyelid. The arrow serves as an addition to the existing makeup created by the shadows, even completing the look. Black color is completely optional for her. You can use eyeliner in the color of your eyes, and on the upper eyelid - any other shadows.
From the middle of the century. This will make your eyes look a little bigger. The arrows should look natural, without sharp boundaries, and it is quite appropriate to use them in the daytime.
Follows the contours of the eyes. The eyes will become clearer. These arrows do not go to the temples, but end at the outer corners of the eyes. You can use it if you create smoky makeup.

Advice! Try various options, experiment, fantasize and be sure to find your own option.

What and how to bring eyes?

You should also think about this. Drawn arrows must be persistent. In the modern beauty industry, various manufacturers of cosmetic products have tried to solve this problem for a long time. So a woman today has a variety of means at her disposal.

In your cosmetic bag for these purposes, you must definitely have a choice of:

The liner is the same liquid eyeliner. Beginners should not use it. It takes good practice here to get the hand full.
An eyeliner-felt pen - it will be more convenient than a liner, but also not for beginners.
Eyeliner is a great tool for beginners. There is always an opportunity to erase or correct flaws. There are also disadvantages. The eyeliner won't last all day. But you can apply eyeliner or shadows on top of it. By the way, the pencil should be perfectly sharpened.
Dry eyeliner/eye shadow is a cool thing for newcomers. Always blend, if the hand trembles, thereby saving makeup.

All these tools vary greatly both in consistency and in result.

Ways of drawing arrows

Starting from the inner corner of the eye. The contour begins to lead from the inside of the eyelid along the lash line to the outside.
Starting from the middle of the eye. First of all, from the middle to the outer edge, then from the inner corner to the middle. This makes it easier to make the arrow straight.

If you think it's easier to draw with one solid line, you're wrong. It is much easier to do this in two steps: the inner corner - the middle, from here - to the outer.

On the upper eyelid, along the entire contour, several points are placed with eyeliner and connected in a line.

Drawing technique

Depending on the tool you choose, it varies slightly.

To draw straight beautiful arrows liquid eyeliner, it is better to smear an excess amount from a brush on the edge of the tube. Then attach the brush to the base of the eyelashes as close as possible, and now you can confidently, but smoothly, draw the desired contour. If the hand still trembles, the line can be corrected with a cotton swab. The line will be clear and not at all greasy.

Draw arrows: step 4

Liquid eyeliner, drying, tightens the skin. To prevent this from happening, powder your eyelid. If shadows are applied, contraction does not happen.

Eyeliner-felt pen is convenient for thick arrows. It is drawn a little above the lash line, then the middle is painted over.

Pencil is a more versatile tool. In order for the process to proceed smoothly, the eyelid should be slightly lifted with the finger of one hand, for which, in the place of the bend of the eyebrow, pull the eyelid up. And then draw an arrow neatly along the lash line.

To draw arrows with shadows, pick up a thin brush so that its end is beveled, moisten it a little and draw shadows.

Advice! Don't take too many shadows, they will crumble upon application. After the arrows are drawn, the remnants are brushed off with a wide brush, and the area around the eyes is slightly powdered.

By the way, with the help of shadows you can create an effect smoky eyes. In this case, the arrows are drawn with a pencil, and then shaded with shadows of the corresponding color.

Other options

By the way, many female representatives prefer permanent makeup to sitting in front of a mirror drawing perfect arrows. When it bothers, use henna.

But here it is necessary to remember some subtleties. Henna painting is appropriate if your skin is oily or damp. Otherwise, you risk earning irritation.

Expressive eyes are one of the main female weapons. Correctly executed makeup helps to correct the shape of the eyes and place important accents.

Arrows drawn on the eyelids can radically change the image of a woman, giving her a mysterious or playful spontaneity. At the same time, a roughly made-up eyeliner easily spoils even an impeccable appearance, which is why it is important to learn how to draw arrows clearly and beautifully. To apply arrows, eyeliner, a special brush or pencil are used.

Draw arrows with a pencil

First you need to understand the basic principles of drawing arrows with a pencil, which is considered the best choice for inexperienced makeup artists.

The first thing you should do is to take care of the surface of the eyelid and make the skin as even as possible. As a base, use beige matte or special agent for eyelids. Lighten dark circles under the eyes, if necessary, using a concealer: this will open up the look.

Pencil hardness

Then choose a pencil. To avoid scratching or injury to the eyelid, do not use an overly sharpened pencil (test it on the tip of your finger beforehand). But keep in mind that too soft will not allow you to draw an elegant, refined line.

It is better to choose a pencil of medium hardness, which allows you to draw clear lines, but at the same time lends itself to shading.

Color

As for the color of the eyeliner, it would be wrong to dwell only on the black version. Silver, blue or green arrows are perfect for light-eyed women. Also, light eyeliner is suitable for visual. Do not add brightness to your image!

When doing daytime makeup, try to make the eyeliner look as natural as possible.

As for evening options, there is room for fantasy to roam. Everyone's favorite "smoky ice" looks gorgeous in combination with shaded arrows. And for freestyle parties, you can afford unusual geometric arrows.

Tips for drawing arrows with a pencil:

You need to draw eyeliner on an open or half-open eye.
To keep your hand from trembling, put your elbow on the table.
Excess makeup can always be removed with a cotton swab.
If you have little experience in drawing arrows with a pencil, first draw a dotted line, and only then outline it.
Drawing a thick arrow starts from the thinnest section, and ends with shading of the eyeliner.

Due to the fact that the pencil arrow can be easily adjusted, even completely inexperienced women can learn to draw it.

Important: a pencil arrow is unlikely to last all day. To strengthen it from above, you need to walk with liquid eyeliner or shadows.

If you're using a waterproof eyeliner, remember that it doesn't easily rub off the skin, and if the strokes are wrong, you'll most likely have to wash off all of your makeup.

When drawing arrows with a pencil, you don’t have to worry about the fact that it will be problematic to correct an uneven line. It can always be shaded or partially covered with shadows.

Draw arrows with eyeliner

Arrows are drawn using liquid, cream eyeliner or a tool similar to a felt-tip pen. In order to understand which method is right for you, you should try to draw the eyelid in different ways.

The easiest way to line your eyes is with a felt-tip pen, which is often used when switching from pencil to liquid products. The resulting arrow does not smear, dries quickly, but does not last too long.

Be sure to apply the base tool to the entire surface of the eyelids. This will visually make the eyes bigger and brighter, and also ensure the durability of the makeup. Grab your eyeliner and get started.

What to choose is up to you. Try all or a few and you will understand how it is most convenient for you to draw arrows.

How to learn to draw arrows on the eyes

So, the basic rules that will help you learn how to draw beautiful arrows in front of your eyes:

Sit down and put your elbow on the table. Put your little finger on your cheek. This will allow you to fix your hand as much as possible and protect you from accidental movements.

Do not try to draw an arrow in one motion (it can work out over time, but a beginner can't do it). Do a few moves.

You can also put dots or dotted lines, which then need to be connected. This method of drawing an arrow is quite simple and can work even if you are holding a pencil or a brush with eyeliner in your hands for the first time.
