It is important to understand that cosmetic tools that provide feline contour and charcoal color have one thing in common. Their texture is moist and does not dry out completely when used. If you draw a line directly on the eyelid, then by the evening you will notice that it is imprinted on the eyelid and the makeup looks very funny and is no longer as perfect as it was at the beginning.

What to do to avoid such embarrassment? Must be applied to the moving eyelid a small amount of primer, using a brush to blend the shadows. Rice powder, which is part of Dream Minerals primers, effectively removes shine, being a natural absorbent. Since the eyelid has a small fold, it is always a little damp, which prevents it from fixing and it becomes smeared. And by lightly powdering your skin you will provide it with a slight shimmer and matte surface - they will be perfect even in the evening.

In order for the line to be without flaws, it must be drawn in several stages.

1. After you have powdered your eye, take the liner in your hands like a writing pen and draw a thin line continuing along the lower eyelid. It should look as if it is coming from the very corner of the eye at a 45◦ angle from the outside. The length should be about a centimeter, maybe a little less.
2. Next, from approximately the middle of the drawn segment, draw another one towards the contour of the eyelid, you should get a triangle that is not filled inside.
3. After this, from the middle of the base of the drawn corner, draw an arc tapering to the inner edge of the eye.
4. Paint the space under the arc.
5. Then shade the triangle.
6. You should end up with a light, pointed wave; run the liner over it a few more times to make it even more unified, eliminating any harsh transitions.

If you have eyeliner on hand, this won't be difficult.

1. They are drawn according to the same principle only with fewer stages. First of all, apply powder, primer or eye shadow of any shade you like to your eyelid. You can also shade the orbital fold. Next, draw a dense, voluminous line along the growth of the eyelashes. It is larger in the center and narrows towards the edges, creating a crescent moon.
2. Then we make a short stroke at a slight angle from the outer corner of the eye, which coincides with the end of our previously drawn arc.
3. The final chord will be drawing a small semicircle connecting the end of the stroke to the main line.
4. Then you paint over the resulting corner and you get a flirty arrow with a slight curl.

Arrows with shadows

Drawing these lines sometimes takes a lot of time; this type of makeup is not the most the best option when you need to go out in 15 minutes. In addition, they don’t always turn out smooth; you need to “train” your hand thoroughly before making such makeup as your business card.

An alternative to this technique is soft shaded shadows.

• Using a wide brush for shading shadows with soft bristles, apply a light base, this can be shimmering shadows with a slight tint or powder.
• Then take a brush with a beveled edge, lightly moisten it with water and with a damp brush apply a dark shade of shadow with a thin line. We do not let the bristles in the brush bend and move the tool smoothly so that the line turns out even.
• We draw the lower eyelid in the same way, connecting two arrows in the corner of the eye.
• Then again we take a softer brush with long bristles and lightly shade, but do not overwrite the contour completely. Apply a light haze of shadow more light shade. The movements should be slamming, as if you are imprinting these particles, so that the shadows, especially those natural composition, did not crumble onto the cheekbones during application.
• We complete the makeup by applying mascara.

You have learned about some types, but you can vary their shape depending on your mood. Experiment with color, curve and length and you will be irresistible. We suggest practicing the skill of creating a look like a cat’s and look.

How to make beautiful arrows on your eyes - video

Such arrows will suit almost every face type and eye shape. The makeup will not be overloaded, the eyes will simply become larger and the gaze more expressive.

You will need

• Pencil (preferably kajal) or eyeliner (for example, Glossy Eyeliner from Isa Dora). If this is your first time drawing arrows, take a pencil. It's much easier to work with him. As for color, makeup artists still recommend black, as it is universal and most expressive.
• Cotton buds.
• Micellar water.

Step 1. Paint the space between the eyelashes

Keep the tool as close to the eyelash line as possible and do not go into the mucous membrane, otherwise the color will be imprinted on the lower eyelid.

Start drawing from the middle of the eyelid and move to the outer corner. Stop where the eyelashes end: we will draw the tail of the arrow a little later.

Move to the inner corner and again paint only the lash line. Be especially careful here: the line in this area should be the thinnest.

Step 2. Draw the tail of the arrow

Bring the pencil or brush to the outer corner of your eye. Mentally draw a line. It should extend towards your temple and be an extension of your lower eyelid. Another strong point is the middle part of the eyebrow (before the break and tail). The line should be a repetition of it.

Using a slight pulling motion, draw the tail of your arrow.

Now connect the tip with the line drawn along the upper eyelid. The transition should be smooth.

Step 3: Adjust the arrow

The most common mistake that immediately catches your eye is the chopped off tip of the arrow. To avoid this, there is a trick.

Take a cotton swab, place it under the tail of the arrow and pull it up to the temple. It will remove excess and at the same time stretch the line, making it thinner.

If your eyelid is a little dirty, use cotton swab and remove all dirt.

Repeat the same on the other eye and apply mascara.

These arrows are more expressive and are more suitable for the evening. Depending on the occasion, the line can be lengthened and thickened, but let's start with the basics.

You will need

• Eyeshadow base (for example, from NYX Professional Make-Up).
• Paper tape or plastic card.
• Black pencil (for example, Kajal Define from Make Up Factory).
• Liquid eyeliner.
• Cotton buds.
• Micellar water.

Step 1: Prepare the eyelid

You can lightly decorate your eyes with shadows. Darken the outer corner and lighten the inner one.

Step 2. Paint the space between the eyelashes

As in the first method, thinly draw the eyelash line.

Step 3. Draw the tail of the arrow

The tail in this technique is the main part. Only a professional can draw an ideal line, but for beginners and amateurs it is better to use a stencil.

To do this, take a paper one. Apply a small piece from the outer corner of your eye to your temple. And now, using eyeliner, draw a line of the desired length. The tape will serve as your ruler. You can use a plastic card in the same way.

The base of the ponytail is ready. Now on both eyes, determine the middle of the eyelid and put small marks there using eyeliner.

Connect the tip to the middle of the eyelid. The line should be exactly horizontal and the movement should be easy. For ease of application, pull the skin slightly towards your temple.

Now use eyeliner to fill in the space between the two lines.

Step 4. Draw the arrow

All that remains is to use eyeliner to lower the line from the middle of the eyelid to the inner corner. Move clearly along the lash line. Add some dark shadows in the crease of the eyelid. For an evening or a holiday, false eyelashes or mascara with a volume effect are suitable for such arrows.

Such soft arrows are suitable for both daytime and evening wear. evening makeup. The application technique changes here: to get away from clear lines, we use shading.

You will need

• Eyeshadow base (for example, 3ina).
• Dark matte shadows (for example, Nude by Nature).
• At least two brushes: a hard, beveled one and a thin, soft one.
• Eyeliner (such as Perfect Contour Kajal from Isa Dora).
• Concealer or corrector.

Step 1: Prepare the eyelid

Apply an eyeshadow base to your eyelid. It will make blending easier and extend the wear of your makeup. Then, as in the previous methods, draw the space between the eyelashes with a black pencil. At this stage, you can afford to be a little careless: this is just the base, in the final it will be covered by shadows.

Step 2: Blend the pencil

Now take a clean brush. A beveled hard one is best suited. Start shading from the ponytail. Using a brush, draw the arrow towards the temple. Do not take any additional color, use only the pigment that you already have.

It is important to start shading as soon as possible. Then the pencil will be easier to follow your movements.

Step 3: Apply and blend eyeshadow

Now you need dark matte shadows. The brand and price are not important here, the main thing is that they should be shaded well.

Pick up the shadows with a thin soft brush and with light movements (never driving them in) go over the entire arrow. You can go beyond the main line, because we are achieving a haze effect.

Using the same brush, lightly pull the color upward. Before this you moved horizontally, now you move vertically.

Take a clean, soft brush (or wipe off the one you've already used with a napkin) and pick up some eyeshadow of the same color. Shake off any excess; there should be very little product left on the brush. Using light movements, go over the entire arrow and mix the layers. After this, there should be no clear boundaries left on the eyelid.

Step 4: Repeat the first layer

Take a black pencil and trace along the edge of your eyelid. This will enhance the color and make the look deeper.

To complete your makeup, take some black eyeshadow onto your brush and apply it to the base of your eyeliner. Blend them again with a clean brush.

Step 5: Adjust the arrow

Take concealer or corrector. These products are similar but differ in their density. The first is intended for the area around the eyes, the second precisely covers imperfections on the skin.

So, apply one of these products to a cotton swab and remove all the dirt under the arrow. Remember: only its lower border should remain clear.

In fact, there are countless types of arrows. Having mastered the basic ones, you can fantasize and experiment with shape and color. For example, draw a double arrow, replace classic black with white, or add glitter to clear lines.
