The main thing is training. If you can’t apply eyeliner on your eyes the first time, you can do it the fifth time. If you don’t succeed the fifth time, you will succeed the tenth! Don’t doubt it, the main thing is not to give up your training and try to draw eyeliner or simply line your eyes every day. If it doesn’t work out, we erase it and start again or put it off until tomorrow.

Another important role is played by the quality of the eyeliner itself; it should be the right consistency, not dry and not too liquid. Choose a quality product.

There are different types of eyeliners:

  1. LIQUID LINERS. With their help, you get smooth, clear and elegant lines. They require some skill and practice.
  2. GEL LINERS. They have a gel-like structure and are easier to use. You can draw thin, clear lines, or soft ones with shading.

  4. There are also eyeliners different color- black, brown, silver and gold, blue, etc.

Two Basic Techniques for Applying Eyeliner

  1. Drawing a line based on previously drawn points. You need to carefully mark the location of the arrow 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. These strokes are then re-painted over with a second even and even layer of eyeliner.
  3. Drawing a line with liquid eyeliner along the intended drawing with a pencil. Since it is easier to remove the imperfections of an eyeliner than an eyeliner. First you need to apply makeup 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 several rules:

  1. To ensure that the arrow drawn with such difficulty does not smudge after a few hours and that the eye makeup remains in its original form for a long time, before application you need to degrease the eyelid with tonic or lotion. Applying primer or powder and using a waterproof, quality eyeliner will also help.
  2. When starting to draw an arrow, you need to find a comfortable position and rest the elbow of the hand you will be drawing on a flat surface. This way, the hand will not move and you will get a smooth and neat line.
  3. There is no need to tighten the eyelid, as in this case there is a high risk of drawing an arrow that is not the shape you wanted. The eyes should be open, looking slightly down, 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 apply eyeliner with or without an arrow. With eyeliner, you can fill only the space between the eyelashes and draw a small line ending in the corner of the eye.
  6. If you draw an arrow, its inclination is determined as follows: the arrow should continue the direction of the lower eyelid and go to the temples. The arrow 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. Typically, the line starts thinly at the inner corner of the eye and gradually widens towards the outer corner.
  8. To line your lower lashes, 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 marks 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 with gentle movements, as close to the eyelash line as possible. Draw a small arrow. We remove all the unevenness in the second step, once again we pass the eyeliner over the eyelid, removing all the imperfections.

To draw a thick, dramatic arrow You must first outline its outline.

  • You can use an eyeliner to mark the location for the arrow. Draw a small tick from the edge of the outer corner of the eye and upward, connecting to the crease of the eyelid (photo 1).
  • Continue marking onto 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 liner to the liner of the upper lash (photo 3).
  • If you are satisfied with the shape of the arrow, outline the top with liquid eyeliner (photo 4).

To apply gel eyeliner to your eyes, you will need a brush; it is usually included with a jar of gel eyeliner. First you need to mark the angle and inclination of the arrow, draw a line above the eyelashes and paint over the inside of the eyelid.

With the correct application of eyeliner, eye makeup becomes expressive and sensual. Eye contour was done by ancient Egyptian beauties many centuries ago. Facts prove: Akhenaten’s wife Nefertiti did not have natural beauty. The Egyptians were fascinated by her gaze. Black eyes with a cat-like cut had a special magnetism.

Modern beauties keep up with fashion and are constantly looking for ways to conquer men's hearts. The eye contour changes with new fashion trends, improves, changes. Young beauties are interested in the question: how to draw beautiful arrows? There are a number of rules, the implementation of which ensures beautiful eye makeup.

A well-applied contour on the eyes gives ladies expressiveness in their gaze and eliminates some defects in the shape of the eyes. Using arrows you can visually “stretch”, widen/narrow your eyes. Modern trends suggest using not a classic black pencil for arrows, but ultra-fashionable eyeliners - liners in bright colors.

Cosmetic tools for aiming arrows

The choice of tool for drawing eye arrows depends on the girl’s ability to use cosmetics. Ladies with “experience” easily draw arrows using shadows and a wet applicator. Beginners and lovers of classical techniques use pencils and eyeliner.

Cosmetic contouring tools have their advantages.

1. Cosmetic pencil

Among the beauties, the classic contour pencil is in the spotlight . Using black stylus, girls create masterpieces. Modern trends offer a whole palette of color spectrum. Beautiful arrows on the eyes can have a pearlescent or matte tint. There are two types of lead: hard and soft.

Benefits of a cosmetic pencil

An ideal tool for beginners.
Easy glide.
Soft lead based on wax and oily plant components.
Does not scratch the delicate surface of the inner eyelid.
Bright color of the arrows.
Easy to shade.
Easy line correction.
Doesn't run off the skin.

Flaws:

The choice of pencil is made difficult by the variety of hardeners in the lead. A base that is too thick does not give clear lines.
If the lead texture is soft, you won't get a fine line.

How to draw arrows with a pencil: pull the eyelid towards the temporal region. Draw a contour line at the roots of the eyelashes from the beginning of the eye.

Compact dry eyeliner

Advantages

Waterproof effect.
Doesn't spread.
Bright palette of shades.
Apply using a wet applicator.
Long lasting application.

Minuses:

Requires professional skill.

Liquid eyeliner

Liquid-based eyeliner allows the owner of charming eyes to create a bright, expressive look. The liquid foundation is applied using a brush or a thin stick with a rounded end.

Some liquid eyeliners come in the form of markers. The convenient shape of a regular felt-tip pen is a plus for beginners: the familiar shape of a pencil gives the hand confidence when creating lines.

There are two types of liquid eyeliner:

Liner. Refers to professional cosmetics. It consists of a glass bottle with liquid contents and a brush with a felt/synthetic tip. Technique for drawing arrows: lower the brush into the contents of the bottle, run it along the edge of the jar in order to remove excess amount of cosmetic product. Draw an arrow line.
Dipliner. A cosmetic tool for drawing arrows in the form of a twist-out marker. The principle of operation is the same: the contents of the automatic rod are released in doses.

Eyeliner based on cream/gel

Cream-contour and contour-gel are used by girls of the 21st century.

Advantages:

Intense shade.
Possibility of adjustment.
Ease of application.

What types of arrows are there on the eyes?

The contour lines framing the eyes vary in thickness, length, and structure of application.

Classic thin line. It is recommended to draw thin arrows with a classic pencil. Gel/cream eyeliners are not suitable in this case, since the result cannot be achieved with a liquid liner.

Double arrows. A bright, expressive look is achieved on both eyelids using a classic pencil. The first line starts from the inner corner of the upper eyelid. The line passes through the central point of the moving eyelid, thickens, and rises at the outer corner. The second arrow is applied to the lower eyelid. It is recommended to move the stylus from the outer edge of the eyelid to the inner one.

Colorblock outline. A contour is applied to the upper eyelid using liquid eyeliner or a black cosmetic marker. The arrow should be wide. A decorative line of bright color is drawn along the upper edge of the arrow.

"Cat" arrows. The most fashionable shooters of all times and generations. The cat outline is relevant in the 21st century. The starting point of the upper and lower arrow is the center of the eyelid. As they move towards the outer corner, the lines thicken, but do not intersect at the end.

Eye shape: which arrows are better

Little eyes. To emphasize the look, it is recommended to apply the contour only to the upper eyelid. The lower eyelid can be “decorated” with a silver/golden pencil. If you need to draw arrows on both eyelids, it is not recommended to cross the lines at the end of the outer corner.

Round eye shape. To frame the upper eyelid, it is recommended to draw a wide arrow. To correct the shape, you need to use a black shade of eyeliner/pencil.

Narrow distance between the eyes. Wide arrows that originate from the center of the eyelid will help to visually expand the distance between the eyes. It is recommended to apply white pearlescent shadows at the inner edge of the eye.

Wide distance between the eyes. Thin arrows along the upper eyelid, starting from the very beginning of the eye, will help narrow the distance. It is recommended to apply shadows of dark shades to the inner corner.

Color palette: how to choose the right arrow color

How to draw arrows on the eyes to increase the emphasis on advantages and not emphasize disadvantages? Effective eye makeup depends on the correct color of the eyeliner.

Classic “color black”. Suitable for all makeup options. Proper application of the contour guarantees a win-win option for any iris color.

« Blue color". Refers to a cool shade of the color spectrum. Recommended for use on special occasions. Suitable for black-eyed and brown-eyed beauties.

« Green color". The original green shade is suitable.

Pearlescent/light shades. Suitable for all representatives of the fair sex. When applied to the lower eyelid, the distance from the upper to the lower eyelid is “expanded”.

How to use arrows to correct a visual defect in the eyes

The arrows increase the size of the eyes, where the upper contour line is darker than the lower one.
To make your eyes shine, it is recommended to apply gray shadows to the upper eyelid. On the bottom there is a contour identical to the iris of the eyes.
The arrows on the lower eyelid to match the clothes will help give a complete look.

How to draw arrows: general rules

The eye contour line should run along the root zone of the cilia. Spaces between the arrow and the eyelid are not allowed.
To accurately draw the contour, it is recommended to cover the eyelid. This way, defects in the arrow drawing will be visible, which can be removed immediately.
The direction of movement of the arrow along the upper eyelid: from the inner corner to the outer; along the lower eyelid: from the outer corner to the inner.
It is recommended to first draw a thin “control” arrow, then widen it.
The arrow should end harmoniously at the outer corner of the eye, not break off, and have a finished appearance - the tip raised upward.
When drawing arrows using liquid-based eyeliner, it is recommended to apply mascara in several layers.

How to draw arrows with shadows: “smoky” makeup

Moisten the applicator in boiled water.
Remove excess moisture by blotting the brush in a napkin.
Place the tip of the applicator in the shadow and apply the required amount of cosmetic product to the brush.
Tap the applicator on the back of the brush to remove excess shadow.
Draw a straight line from the inner corner of the eye to the center of the eyelid.
From the center, give the line a curved appearance, bringing the arrow to the outer corner of the eye.
Lightly lift the tip of the arrow by moving the applicator upwards.
For special occasions, it is recommended to correct the main line of the arrow with darker shades behind the outer corner of the eye.

Makeup technique “Cat arrows”

The most common type of arrows is cat eyes. Can be done with any available contouring cosmetic: pencil, liquid eyeliner.

Liquid foundation.
Powder (matte/pearl).
Solid black eyeliner.
Set of brushes.
Shadows: white/black.
Mascara.

How to draw “cat arrows” correctly:

Cleanse your face with toner.
Apply moisturizer.
Blot the remaining cream with a napkin.
Apply base foundation.
Apply powder using a round brush.
Apply shadows with a pearlescent tint to the upper eyelid.
Draw an arrow on the upper eyelid: firmly press the pencil lead to the root zone of the eyelashes on the side of the outer corner of the eye. Using a brush with an asymmetrical end, continue the arrow line drawn with a pencil upward.
Draw the bottom arrow. Do not cross the arrow tips. Shade the resulting space between the contours with dark shadows, drawing the tip of the eye in the form of a pointed triangle (like a cat’s).
Complement the thickness of the arrows with eyeliner: starting from the middle of the eyelid, draw a line along the arrow to the outside of the eye, gradually thickening the contour.
Repeat the action with the contour of the lower eyelid.
Using an applicator, precisely apply pearlescent light shadows to the inner corners of the eyes.
Draw arrows on the second half of the face.
Apply mascara to the upper/lower eyelashes, starting from the center point of the eyelid, boldly painting the outer corners of the eyes. It is recommended to apply mascara in two layers. Attention: the second layer cannot be applied to a wet layer.

It is recommended to focus on the hand that draws the outline.
You should not close your eyes when drawing a contour line: you will end up with an uneven arrow.
To train the accuracy of the lines, it is recommended to draw an arrow in two stages: the first is to apply 3 control points with a pencil at equal intervals on the moving eyelid; the second stage is to connect the points with a straight thin line.
After preliminary application of thin arrows, it is recommended to evaluate the result. Asymmetry is not acceptable.

Every woman dreams of always looking perfect, including paying close attention to her eyes, lips and hands. By applying eye makeup, you can adjust their shape and disguise minor imperfections.

Classic arrows appeared back in the 50s, favorably emphasizing the depth of the look and giving the eyes playfulness. Much time has passed since then, but winged eyeliner has proven to be a universal means of correcting the shape of the eyes and has gained popularity among modern ladies.

When making arrows yourself, you should understand that the first time they may turn out to be completely imperfect. However, a couple of workouts - and even arrows will become the calling card of their owner. So, we should talk about the types of arrows and their use in practice, depending on the shape of the eye:

Eye shape · the almond-shaped eye shape is considered almost ideal and can withstand any type of eyeliner;

· close-set eyes need to be visually widened, and to do this, you should start drawing the arrow from the middle of the eye (orientation - pupil), slightly widening it to the outer corner of the eye or slightly exaggerating it;

· wide-set eyes suggest that the line starts right at the inner corner and extends all the way to the outer corner of the eye;

· round eyes must be outlined with a completely continuous contour of a soft pencil along the upper and lower eyelids; from the middle of the eye, the arrow should be gradually expanded, and the tip should be raised upward, and then the boundaries should be shaded;

· an arrow for a convex shape should start from the inner corner, gradually expanding and sharply going down to the tip, without prolongation or sharpening;

· small eyes can be easily enlarged with light eyeliner, applying a line only to the upper eyelid and lengthening the tip of the arc; the lower eyelid can be emphasized with white kajal;

· narrow eyes or oriental type are decorated with a thin arrow, slightly extending beyond the corner of the eye;

· drooping eyelids and drooping corners of the eyes suggest an exceptionally thin outline, slightly receding from the inner corner of the eye.

Types of arrows · thin arrows are indispensable in everyday daytime makeup;

· wing arrows visually “open” the eye;

· voluminous arrows are appropriate for evening receptions;

· Egyptian-style arrows are an exclusively evening option, which is inappropriate during the day;

· double arrows are usually made in black, combining it with a bright contrasting color;

· smokey-style arrows are very relevant in the new season, but only at evening events.

Thus, it is clear that arrows can be made in different colors and different techniques, using eyeliner, liner and pencil.

Simple ways to quickly apply eyeliner at home

How to learn to draw arrows on your eyes? When starting to conquer a new type of eye makeup, you should adhere to the mandatory rules, otherwise there is a risk of getting asymmetrically located arrows. So, you should consider a small scheme for ideally applying color to the eyelid:

This is how a regular thin arrow with an upward tail is drawn. If the arrow is voluminous, then using the same method, first apply the outline of the desired volume, and then paint the inside of the arrow.

In addition, some nuances of correct contour application should be taken into account:

  • the arrow should be located close to the eyelash growth line, without creating sloppy “gaps”;
  • the eyelid should be half-open to control the process of evenly drawing the line;
  • By lining only the lower eyelid, there is a risk of getting a comical facial expression.

Technique for drawing the correct lines with a cosmetic pencil

How to draw arrows on the eyes with a pencil?

Due to the fact that the pencil is softer than other means of applying eyeliner, and is also easy to shade and easier to erase in case of imperfections, many girls designate it as their favorite for everyday looks.

But even with this kind of makeup there are advantages and disadvantages that you need to know about:

  • the line must be continuous, because unevenness will be more difficult to correct than using a brush and eyeliner;
  • to begin with, you can draw a line from the middle of the eyelid to the edge of the eye, and then, if necessary, add a thin line at the outer corner of the eye;
  • It is difficult to draw a long and voluminous ponytail with a pencil, so it is suitable only if the line ends with a short line;
  • the color of the line will become brighter if, after the first thin line, a repeat contour is drawn from above;
  • a pencil with a harder texture is well suited for drawing fine lines and will last throughout the day;
  • a soft pencil will make the arrow more voluminous and the color more saturated, but the durability of the drawing is short-lived.

So, thin lines made with a pencil are more suitable for discreet daytime makeup, and for more professional and intricate arrow shapes, it is best to use eyeliner.

Draw arrows on the eyes with liquid eyeliner step by step

If the arrows in a pencil have long been mastered, it’s time to start conquering eyeliner, because the application techniques are almost identical. Let's talk again about how to draw arrows yourself, but now using liquid eyeliner:

  1. Look carefully at your reflection in the mirror, determine the shape of your eyes and mentally outline the thickness of the arrow and the length of the ponytail.
  2. Close the eyelid and place a small point from which the arc line will begin.
  3. You should draw a line as close to the eyelashes as possible, so carefully draw a line from the intended point to the middle of the eye and look at the result: the line should be smooth and thin.
  4. If everything turned out correctly, without lifting your hand, draw a line to the corner of the eye.
  5. You can add a spectacular ponytail to the resulting line by outlining a small line from the edge of the eye, visually tending upward to the tip of the eyebrow.
  6. Next, you need to connect the main line and the drawn tail, painting the distance between them.

The initial “training” of drawing a clear arrow may not work, but don’t despair. The main thing is to make sure that your hand is steady, otherwise the line will not be straight.

Using dry eyeliner

How to draw beautiful wings on your eyes with dry eyeliner? Don't be intimidated by the name, because dry eyeliner is just as easy to apply as liquid eyeliner. To use it, you will definitely need makeup tools - an applicator or a small brush. In order to use it correctly, the following rules must be observed:

  • You cannot wet dry powder, otherwise it will be hopelessly spoiled; To draw a line, just wet the brush and gently dip it in a small amount of paint;
  • in this version, it is better to start from the middle of the eye, drawing a line to the tip, and then draw the corner of the eye and make a small ponytail.

Dry eyeliner is indispensable where you need to shade colors. For example, with smoky eyeliners, it will be universal: with a dampened brush you can apply a thin line at the base of the eyelashes, and with a dry brush you can add and shade the main color on the eyelid.

Double arrows on the eyes - beautiful or comical?

At first glance, double arrows seem very difficult to execute, but technically, drawing two lines is done in the same way as a classic arrow. Let's consider the correct application technique for independent execution. How to draw double arrows on the eyes:

  1. Initially, you should make a graphic, clear arrow along the upper eyelid with the main color, usually a black version (done with a hard pencil or liquid eyeliner).
  2. The line is drawn close to the growth of the eyelashes and begins with a thin arc, increasing towards the middle of the eye and then decreasing again towards the tip.
  3. The tail of the arrow must extend beyond the eye line and must be directed upward.
  4. Next, you need to decide where the second arrow will be located - on the upper or lower eyelid.
  5. A double arrow on the upper eyelid will look very shocking. It is drawn from the inner corner to the outer one, overlapping the first arrow or lying exactly along its arc.
  6. The arrow on the lower eyelid is best done with a soft pencil. The application technique should mirror the work with the upper eyelid. You should start drawing the line from the edge of the eye towards the middle, you can shade it slightly to give the look depth. Only those with large eyes can draw the outer corner.

It is worth understanding that the use of double arrows in daytime makeup is completely inappropriate; it is better to leave such a theatrical option for attending various events.

Modern stylists and makeup artists advise experimenting with makeup, learning to play with color, without stopping only at monochrome black and gray shades. Makeup artists advise paying attention to the following nuances when doing makeup:

  • daytime makeup holds up well to blue, silver, and gold eyeliners, and they also visually enlarge the eye;
  • light shades of eyeliner give the face a fresh look, hiding the age of the owner of the arrows;
  • The effect of an “open” look can be easily achieved by using the following trick: we line the upper eyelid with a deep color (for example, green), and draw the lower eyelid with a color several tones lighter (light green);
  • a classic black line makes the eye smaller, but if you want to make a line with exactly this color, you should draw a very thin line;
  • deep-set eyes will help visually bring chocolate, coffee and gray shades of eyeliner closer to the ideal shape;
  • A well-drawn arrow can increase the volume of eyelashes several times.

In addition to all of the above, it is worth understanding that not all types of arrows will be appropriate in professional activities. It is best to leave the brightest options for special occasions.

Conclusion

Concluding the story about the art of making eyeliner, we should once again dwell on the key points of working with this precise technique in makeup:

  1. Before drawing any lines, you should find out what shape the eye has and what technique of execution can highlight its natural beauty.
  2. Choose for yourself the ideal means of applying eyeliner from the textures offered on the market: liquid, dry, gel, pencil.
  3. Make-up should be done, dividing it into daytime and evening, so as not to be branded as a lady with a lack of taste.

In this simple way, fashionistas perfect both everyday and evening looks, especially since beautifully and correctly lined eyes are the trend of the 2019 season.

How to choose the shape of arrows for your eyes

There are many forms of eyeliner, but girls need to remember that different types of eyes have their own version of eyeliner. Only the owners of flawless almond-shaped eyes can’t think about how to highlight them and the better way to draw arrows on the eyes - any makeup will look flawless. All other girls need to make an effort to properly highlight their beauty and hide imperfections with makeup.

Arrows are a universal way to give the eyes the desired shape. Women have resorted to such a trick at all times, and now representatives of the fair half of humanity cannot imagine makeup without eyeliner. However, unsuccessful eyeliner can completely ruin a girl’s appearance, so let’s find out what types of eyeliner there are, who suits them, and what lines should be drawn correctly for different eye shapes.

  1. If you have round eyes, then wide and bright arrows will emphasize their charm. You need to draw them from the inner corner to the outer one above the eyelash growth contour, gradually making the arrow wider, and draw the end slightly rounded upward.
  2. For close-set eyes, it is better not to outline the inner corner, but to start drawing the line from the first eyelash. It should be carried out closer to the growth of the eyelashes without going beyond the edge more than 3 mm. The lower eyelid should also be slightly emphasized, no more than a third from the outer corner and thoroughly shaded.
  3. If the eyes are wide apart, then the arrow should be drawn along the entire upper eyelid, capturing the inner and outer corners, and on the lower eyelid, draw a line from the middle of the eyelid to the outer corner.
  4. For drooping corners of the eyes, the upper eyelid should be drawn, starting from the outer end to the middle, emphasizing only the drooping corner. It is advisable to draw the lower eyelid brightly, but only in the inner corner. The upper arrow is drawn close to the growth of the eyelashes, gradually rising to the outer corner.
  5. Raised outer corners of the eyes (almond-shaped, Asian, cat-like, Egyptian) are the standard of female beauty. But if they seem a little slanted, then you can give the desired shape using eyeliner on the lower eyelid: from the middle to the outer corner. And draw the top one in reverse: from the middle of the eyelid to the inner corner.
  6. If your eyes are deep-set, then it is better to apply not a black liner to the upper eyelid, but a shiny and bold one, shading it towards the temples and upwards. You should not draw down the lower eyelid or lengthen the arrow so that your eyes appear visually open.

How to learn to draw arrows: step-by-step instructions

At first glance, there is nothing simpler than correctly drawing arrows on the eyelids, giving the look languid and attractive. But makeup is tricky: the lines are either drawn too low, or they are different in thickness, or even crooked. A fashionista definitely needs to know the best way to correctly draw eyeliner on her eyes, whether colored eyeliner will suit her, and what pattern should be used to paint eyeshadow on her eyelids. We offer step-by-step instructions for doing eyeliner with photos that will help you create flawless makeup for any woman.

Step-by-step makeup with a pencil

The most accessible and convenient tool for drawing arrows is a pencil. With its help, women quickly achieve ideal results in modern make-up. The pencil shades the line, making it soft, and the color is easily selected to suit the desired image. After all, not everyone suits black eyeliner, for example, a brown or green pencil is better for brown eyes, blue or silver for gray or blue eyes, and emerald or purple for green eyes. So, step-by-step instructions for pencil arrows:

  1. Choose a comfortable position in front of the mirror: leave one eye half open and rest your elbow on the table surface.
  2. Draw a thin line close to the growth of the eyelashes, drawing it from the middle of the eyelid, first to the outer and then to the inner corner.
  3. On the outer corner, move the tip of the arrow beyond the edge, slightly lifting it up.
  4. If any irregularities remain after drawing, carefully remove them with a cotton swab.
  5. To make the arrow visually thicker and the eyelashes more voluminous, paint over the distance between the eyelashes.
  6. To ensure that the arrow is drawn correctly, carefully go over it with a pencil a couple more times, clearly repeating the already drawn line.

How to make eyeliner with liquid eyeliner correctly

Drawing beautiful eyeliner with liquid eyeliner is the dream of most girls. It would seem that there is nothing complicated here: a couple of movements - and a clear line that enlarges the eye is ready. But in reality, everything can be much more complicated: either the hand trembled, or the tail went in the wrong place. Let's figure out how to correctly draw arrows using liquid eyeliner so that your look will captivate and beckon.

  1. Open your eyes, look in the mirror, determine the place where the tail of the future arrow should go.
  2. Squint your eyelid and place a dot at the intended location.
  3. To draw a straight line, first connect a point to the base of the eyelashes, and then extend the line from the outer corner to the inner corner about 2/3 of the way.
  4. Make the line thin right away, because a wide arrow is easy to draw at any time.
  5. If the shape allows, then extend the arrow to the end of the inner corner. This is a great option for evening makeup.
  6. In conclusion, you need to draw a beautiful tail. To do this, take the eyeliner brush so that its end is directed towards the temple, and apply it to the edge of the line so that the brush is imprinted on the eyelid. With this method, the tail of the arrow will be made as straight and sharp as possible.
  7. Fill in the distance between the eyelashes so that no gaps are visible - and the shape of the eye will be perfect.

Master class on drawing with shadows

Not everyone knows how to enlarge the eyes using arrows drawn with multi-colored shadows. But this option is very simple and quick to implement, and the contour comes out flawless. The shade of the shadows is chosen depending on the color of the eyes, making it even brighter and more beautiful. For makeup, it is better to use a dry natural bristle brush with a slightly beveled tip. Step-by-step master class on applying eye shadow:

  1. Apply a natural-colored foundation or eyeshadow to your eyelids.
  2. Begin to correctly draw a line from the inner corner to the middle of the eyelid, drawing an even outline.
  3. Try to move closer to the growth of the eyelashes to avoid gaps.

What do you need to draw arrows?

Let's turn to an issue that worries many representatives of the fair sex and tell you how to beautifully draw arrows on your eyes, what you need to pay attention to first of all.

First, you should familiarize yourself with the products and tools used for this procedure:


Of all the above, many give particular preference to a pencil. With its help, you get smooth, fairly even lines, and it lends itself perfectly to small adjustments. But there is a small nuance to note: if you use a regular pencil, the arrows may not last on your eyes for the whole day. There is a little secret here: apply eyeliner or, for example, shadows on top.

A waterproof pencil is more reliable, but it is not washed off very easily, you will have to try to remove it. Before using the pencil, make sure that it is perfectly sharpened. This will give you finer, more defined lines that you'll be delighted with.

Stages of creating arrows

Correctly draw arrows on the eyes, paying attention to every detail:

  • The first stage begins with performing the main aspects of makeup: tinting, powdering, makeup of the eyebrows themselves.
  • Shadows are carefully applied. Choose the shade that suits your liking and mood today. White, peach, brown - these are the best color solutions for the subsequent application of eyeliner.
  • It is important to point the tip of the arrow upward.
  • Use several tools to create arrows. For example, using a pencil, apply a small amount of shadow to your wings to enhance them.
  • When applying the arrow, your hand should have a reliable support. You can, for example, place your elbow firmly on the table. It is not recommended to do this while hanging, otherwise the lines will not turn out straight.

You can create perfect arrows using several modern schemes, which many women actively use today.

First, draw a tangent line through the center of the eyelid. At the intersection with this line and the lower eyelid, a second point is created. The outer corner of the eye is point 3. Through points 2 and 3, point 4 is made - the direction of the arrow itself. Line 6 is drawn (directly at the edge of the iris), resulting in a point with number 7. Here there will be a connection between the arrow and the tip. A visually perpendicular line - 8 - is drawn through the last point (at the intersection with the direction of the arrow, it creates point number 5). This will be the end of your creation.

Arrows and visuals
