1. How to draw classic arrows
Such arrows will fit almost every type of face and cut eyes. Makeup will not be overloaded, just your eyes will be bigger, and your eyes will be more expressive.
You will need
- Pencil (better – kayal) or eyeliner (for example, Glossy Eyeliner from Isa Dora). If you are drawing arrows for the first time, take a pencil. Working with him is much easier. As for color, makeup artists recommend all the same black, as it is universal and most expressive.
- Cotton buds.
- Micellar water.
Step 1. Paint the intermittent space
Keep the instrument as close to the line of growth of the eyelashes and do not go to the mucosa, otherwise the color is imprinted on the lower eyelid.
Begin drawing from the middle of the century and move to the outer corner. Stop where the eyelashes end: the tail of the arrow will be drawn a little later.
Go to the inner corner and paint again, just the line of growth of the eyelashes. Be especially careful here: the line in this area should be the thinnest.
Step 2. Draw the tail of the arrow
Bring a pencil or a brush to the outer corner of the eye. Mentally draw a line. It should reach for the temple and be a continuation of your lower eyelid. Another strong point is the middle part of the eyebrow (up to the kink and tail). The line must be its repetition.
With an easy pulling movement, draw the tail of your arrow.
Now connect the tip to the line drawn in the upper eyelid. The transition must be smooth.
Step 3. Correct the arrow
The most common mistake that immediately catches your eye is the severed tip of the arrow. To avoid this, there is a cunning trick.
Take the cotton swab, wind it under the tail of the arrow and pull it up to the temple. She will take the surplus away and at the same time draw the line, making it thinner.
If you have a little dirty eyelid, use a cotton swab and micellar water to remove all dirt.
Repeat the same on the other eye and make up eyelashes with mascara.
2. How to Draw the Graphic Arrows
These arrows are more expressive and more suitable for the evening. Depending on the motive, the line can be lengthened and thickened, but we start from the bases.
You will need
- Base under the shadows (for example, from NYX Professional Make-Up).
- Paper scotch or plastic card.
- Black pencil (for example, Kajal Define from Make Up Factory).
- Liquid eyeliner.
- Cotton buds.
- Micellar water.
Step 1. Prepare the eyelid
For such a complex arrow, makeup artists recommend preparing the eyelid and applying a little base under the shadows. Then it will be easier to work with the piping and it will not go by the middle of the day.
You can lightly shape your eyes with shadows. Darken the outer corner and brighten the inside.
Step 2. Paint the intermittent space
As in the first method, thinly draw a line of eyelash growth.
Step 3. Draw the tail of the arrow
The tail in this technique is the main part. Ideal line can draw only a professional, and beginners and amateurs better to use the stencil.
For this, take a paper scotch. Attach a small piece in the direction from the outer corner of the eye to the temple. And now draw a line of the desired length with the aid of the liner. Scotch will serve as a ruler for you. In the same way, you can use a plastic card.
The base of the tail is ready. Now, in both eyes, determine the middle of the century and put small marks there with the help of the eyeliner.
Connect the tip to the middle of the century. The line should be exactly horizontal, and the movement – easy. For ease of application, stretch the skin slightly to the temple.
Now use the liner fill the space between the two lines.
Step 4. Draw the arrow
It remained with the help of the eyeliner to lower the line from the middle of the eyelid to the inner corner of the eye. Move clearly along the line of eyelash growth. Add some dark shadows to the fold of the century. For an evening or a holiday, such eyeglasses or mascara with a volume effect are suitable for such hands.
3. How to draw shaded hands
Such soft hands are suitable for both day and evening make-up. The technique of application here is changing: to get away from clear lines, we use shading.
You will need
- Base under the shadow (for example, 3ina).
- Dark matte shadows (for example, Nude by Nature).
- At least two brushes: solid sloping and thin soft.
- Eyeliner (for example, Perfect Contour Kajal from Isa Dora).
- Concealer or proofreader.
Step 1. Prepare the eyelid
Apply to the eyelid base under the shadows. It will facilitate shading and extend the makeup wear. Then, as in the previous methods, draw the intermittent space with a black pencil. At this stage, you can afford a little negligence: this is just the foundation, in the finale it will be blocked by shadows.
Step 2. Use a pencil
Now take a clean brush. Best fit beveled hard. Start shading from the tail. With the help of a brush, take the arrow to the temple. Do not take any additional color, use only the pigment that you already have.
It’s important to start growing as soon as possible. Then the pencil will be easier to succumb to your movements.
Step 3. Apply and shade the shadows
Now you need dark matte shadows. The firm and the price here are not important, most importantly – they should grow well.
Type the shadows on a thin soft brush and with light movements (by no means driving), go all the way through the arrow. You can go beyond the main line, because we achieve the effect of haze.
With the same brush, pull the color upwards with light movements. Before that, you moved horizontally, now – vertically.
Take a clean soft brush (or wipe the one that was already in use) and type a few shadows of the same color. Shake off excess, there should be very little product left on the brush. Lightly move around the entire arrow and mix the layers. After this, there should not be any clear boundaries on the century.
Step 4. Repeat the first layer
Take a black pencil and walk on the edge of the century. So you will strengthen the color and make the look deeper.
To complete the makeup, draw on the brush black shadows and apply them to the base of the arrow. Again, shade them with a clean brush.
Step 5. Correct the arrow
Take concealer or proofreader. These products are similar, differ in their density. The first is designed for the area around the eyes, the second is point-blank covers the imperfections on the skin.
So, apply one of these funds to the cotton swab and clean all the dirt under the arrow. Remember: only its lower bound should remain clear.
In fact, the types of shooters are innumerable. Having mastered the basic, you can fantasize and experiment with shape and color. For example, draw a double arrow, replace the classic black with white or add sparkles to the clear lines.
