One of the most difficult stages in eye makeup is the arrows. Without enough experience in this delicate matter, you are unlikely to be able to draw even symmetrical lines on the eyelids. So let's learn.
Arrows in eye makeup
Arrows in eye makeup are the best way to express your eyes. The eyes with arrows look sharper. The shape and thickness of the arrows depends on the creation of the image. But we must take into account that the types of shooters must be selected, first of all, under the shape of the eyes. Small eyes will not tolerate a complete outline of the contours of the eyelids. The arrow must pass only from the outer corner of the eye to the middle of the century or be carried out by a third of the length of the upper eyelid. Correct round eyes can be an elongated arrow. Too narrow eyes can be easily corrected with a comma raised above the outer corner.
But methods of drawing arrows directly depend on what they draw. Here are several options for cosmetics, with which you can create contours for the eyes:
- a pencil for eyelids;
- liquid liner;
- gel piping;
- shadow.
How to draw arrows with a pencil?
Before learning how to learn how to draw arrows, select a pencil. Pay attention to its hardness. Too soft pencil will blur on the eyelids. This is the best way to create makeup in the style of smoky eyes - it is easy to shade on the eyelids. A solid pencil will require effort to create clear lines. But it will suit drawing of hardly appreciable thin arrows. Ideal - a pencil of medium hardness. So, we begin:
- On a century it is necessary to put several points. Over time, this item can be missed. But at the stage of training, the points are needed in order to learn how to draw smooth lines.
- Connect the dots to a solid line of the required length. Depending on the style of make-up, the line can take up to half a century, from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner or go outside the outer corner slightly upward or to the side.
- If necessary, you can draw another line on top of the previous one. So you get clear and wide arrows.
How to draw beautiful arrows?
The most beautiful arrows are obtained by using the eyeliner. Liquid or gel - the choice is yours. The gel piping is more resistant. But, while you are just learning, it is worth trying liquid liner. It is easier to erase. Therefore, correcting inaccuracies and irregularities will be easier and faster.
To draw beautiful arrows, you need to choose the kind of arrows appropriate to your style and shape of eyes. But how to draw smooth arrows the first time? Just find ... support: lean your elbows on something stable. Even a slight twitching of the hand will spoil the arrow. It is not recommended to strongly delay the eyelid, because the thin arrow on the stretched skin will turn into a thick line when you release the eyelid. Do you still need points or small strokes? Of course, put it. Combining the "draft version" in a solid line, evaluate the result. Symmetry is observed, there are no unevenness - congratulations! Everything worked out. In any case, it will not hurt to practice again. Equip yourself with a cotton swab. It will help correct some errors.
Arrow options:
- Parallel - arrows that increase the eyes. Draw them, since the middle of the century. The upper line is drawn beyond the eyelid in the direction of the eyebrow, the lower arrow is parallel to the upper arrow.
- Double arrows help to "open" the eyes and create a sensuality effect. To do this, use two connectors contrasting tones. The dark contour is applied along the growth line of the eyelashes, the contrast is along the edge of the dark arrow.
- Wide arrows are applied with a pencil or shadows along the contour of the lower and upper eyelid. You can at the same time shade the line on the upper eyelid.
- Arrows in the style of the sixties: the bottom line is straight, and the top - in the form of an arc, slightly lowering the corners of the eye. Empty external corners are drawn with a pencil.
Now you know how to learn how to draw arrows in theory. A little practice - and soon you will amaze everyone with the depth and expressiveness of the look, as well as the flawless lines of beautiful arrows.
