Master class on drawing arrows with shadows. How to draw arrows on different types of eyes with your own hands

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 get the perfect make-up.

Mistake No. 1: There is a gap between the arrow and the lash line

“I see this on every third shooting 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 over the roots of the eyelashes from the BOTTOM. It's simple and effective reception!»

Mistake No. 2: Eyeliner only on the lower eyelid

“Makes the eyes optically smaller, alas. To avoid this, do not draw the pencil all over 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 visible, but at the same time make the eyes bigger.

Mistake #3: Using liquid lower eyeliner

“For top shooters, liquid liner is the perfect solution. But on the lower eyelid, it looks too heavy and rough. If you want to bring the lower eyelid, it is better to paint over with a pencil kayal - a thin strip of the eyelid between the eyelashes and the eye.

Mistake #4: Liner as marker

“Throwing your eyes with a pencil, like a marker, you achieve only a tired look and a feeling of flabbiness of the eyelids. At my trainings, girls say: “Well, no one does that!” Only on the streets, for some reason, I meet this option all the time. Many people mistakenly believe that a lined lower eyelid optically enlarges the eyes. Nothing like this! To really make your eyes look bigger, remove that creepy bottom liner, make the top liner a little feathery, and go over the lower lid with eye shadow a tone darker than your skin tone. It is better to do this with a brush, then the shadows blend more evenly.

After reviewing a large number of video on youtube, I concluded why many do not get those very beautiful “ideal” arrows that you see ?! In the video, everything seems to be simple and beautiful, but few people voice those mistakes, because of which those very “ideal” arrows do not work out in any way. Therefore, we will solve this issue once and for all! Let's start….

First mistake.

When drawing arrows, many look in the mirror not directly in front of them, but from the side. Many are sure that with such a look in the mirror, the arrow will turn out to be smoother and more correct. But if after that you look in the mirror directly in front of you, you will see that it turned out to be not at all the form that it should be. Of course, it can look perfect from the side, but more often we look people in the face directly, and not from the side)

Rule.

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

Second mistake.

There are different interpretations of where to start drawing: from the corner of the eye or the eyelash line? Most draw from the corner, and for a beginner, this can complicate the task. The arrow is much easier to connect 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, it may very well be that you are 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 with the ciliary row.

Third mistake.

This is the most common and gross mistake. Many of you, after watching numerous videos, are trying to repeat the majority of makeup artists to draw an arrow just like they do with eyes closed, bringing her ponytail along the natural growth of eyelashes! Yes, make-up artists have a hand already “stuffed” to automatism. 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 turns out that the corners of the eye either rose excessively, or, on the contrary, fell!

Rule.

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

Fourth mistake

When the arrow is already ready, then you suddenly find that there are gaps between it and the cilia, and this upsets

Solution.

You can pre-fill dark shadows in the ciliary row, and only after that start drawing an arrow. As a result, the arrow will be single without a hint of any gaps!

Fifth mistake

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

Rule.

Be sure to consider the shape of the eye!

If you possess round shape eyes, you should not draw an arrow from the outer corner of the eye, thereby you will emphasize their roundness even more! 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 are 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 there is no bad weather, just as there are no bad eye shapes, there are incorrectly drawn arrows. But I hope that these tips will help you, and your dream of “perfect” arrows will turn into reality)
