Arrows can make your eyes bright and expressive, or they can “kill” even makeup that is flawless in all other respects. Makeup artist and beauty blogger Evie Boyd talked about the most common mistakes and techniques that will help you create the perfect make-up.

Mistake #1: There is a gap between the arrow and the lash line

“I see this on every third arrow lover! And I understand how difficult it is to draw a line perfectly along the roots of the eyelashes. Life hack: free hand, thumb, pull upper eyelid up. And paint the roots of the eyelashes from BOTTOM. It's simple and effective technique!»

Mistake #2: Applying eyeliner only to the lower eyelid

“It makes the eyes optically smaller, alas. To avoid this, draw a pencil not over the entire lower eyelid, but only along its outer part, and be sure to add an arrow on the upper eyelid. Then close your eye and blend the pigment on the outer corner: this will make the makeup less noticeable, but at the same time make your eyes look bigger.”

Mistake #3: Using liquid eyeliner on the lower eyelid

“For upper shooters, liquid liner is the ideal solution. But on the lower eyelid it looks too heavy and rough. If you want to line your lower eyelid, it’s better to fill in the kajal with a pencil—the thin strip of the eyelid between the eyelashes and the eye.”

Mistake #4: Liner as a marker

“By lining your eyes with a pencil, like a marker, you only achieve a tired look and a feeling of sagging eyelids. At my trainings, girls say: “Well, no one does that!” For some reason I see this option all the time on the streets. Many people mistakenly believe that a rimmed lower eyelid optically enlarges the eyes. Nothing like this! To really make your eyes look bigger, remove that creepy bottom line, make the top line slightly shaded, and go over the bottom eyelid with a shade a shade darker than your skin tone. It is better to do this with a brush, then the shadows will blend more evenly.

Viewing a large number of video on YouTube, I concluded why many people don’t get those beautiful “ideal” arrows that you see?! In the video, everything seems simple and beautiful, but few people voice the mistakes that result in those “ideal” arrows not being obtained. Therefore, let's resolve this issue once and for all! Let's begin...

First mistake.

When drawing arrows, many people look in the mirror not directly in front of them, but from the side. Many are sure that when looking in the mirror this way, the arrow will turn out straighter and more correct. But if after that you look in the mirror straight ahead, you will see that it is not at all the shape it should be. Of course, it can look perfect from the side, but more often we look people straight in the face, and not from the side)

Rule.

When drawing arrows, look in the mirror straight in front of you!

Second mistake.

There are different interpretations of where to start drawing: from the corner of the eye or the lash line? Most people draw from a corner, and for a beginner this can make the task more difficult. It is much easier to connect an arrow with a pre-drawn line, and the likelihood that you will get it thin and neat increases significantly! If you start drawing with outer corner eyes, then it is very possible that you will be mistaken with its thickness. But for those whose eye shape allows wide and expressive arrows, then this option is for you!)

Rule.

Draw an arrow starting from the eyelash row.

Third mistake.

This is the most common and serious mistake. Many of you, after watching numerous videos, are trying to follow the majority of makeup artists and draw an arrow just like them - with eyes closed, bringing her ponytail along the natural growth of eyelashes! Yes, make-up artists are already “stuffed” to the point of automaticity. But, if you are a beginner, then it will not be so easy for you to repeat this maneuver; of course, you can repeat it, but as a result it will turn out that the corners of your eyes are either raised excessively or, on the contrary, drooped!

Rule.

The arrow needs to be drawn in continuation of the mucous membrane of the eye, and then exactly according to your eye shape it will fall into place, visually lifting the corner of the eye!

Fourth mistake

When the arrow is ready, you suddenly discover that there are gaps between it and the eyelashes, and this is upsetting

Solution.

You can fill the eyelash row with dark shadows in advance, and only after that start drawing an arrow. As a result, the arrow will be uniform without a hint of any gaps!

Fifth mistake

If you have eyes with drooping eyelids, the arrow should be very thin and neat; you should forget about the image of a “predator” with wide arrows, otherwise you will make your look even heavier.

Rule.

Be sure to consider the shape of the eye!

If you have round shape eyes, you should not draw an arrow from the outer corner of the eye, thereby you will further emphasize their roundness! Start drawing from the middle of the eye, increasing its thickness towards the end of the outer corner.

And those who have almond-shaped eyes (you’re lucky) can afford all of the above methods when drawing arrows, including wide ones)

All recommendations are personally from my experience, which is not unimportant in our profession. And therefore I declare with confidence that just as there is no bad weather, there are no bad eye shapes, there are incorrectly drawn arrows. But I hope that these tips will help you, and your dream of “ideal” arrows will turn into reality)
