Draw arrows on the eyes with eyeliner and pencil

Expressive eyes are one of the main female weapons. Properly done makeup helps to correct the shape of the eyes and place important accents.

Arrows drawn on the eyelids can radically change the image of a woman, giving her mystery or playful spontaneity. At the same time, roughly applied eyeliner easily spoils even an impeccable appearance, which is why it is important to learn how to draw arrows clearly and beautifully. To apply arrows, use eyeliner, a special brush or pencil.

Draw arrows with a pencil

First, you need to understand the basic principles of drawing arrows with a pencil, which is considered the best choice for inexperienced makeup artists.

The first thing you should do is take care of the surface of the eyelid and make the skin as smooth as possible. As a base, use matte beige or a special eyelid product. If necessary, lighten dark circles under the eyes using concealer: this will make the look more open.

Pencil hardness

Then select a pencil. To avoid scratches or injury to the eyelid, do not use an over-sharpened pencil (test it on the pad of your finger first). But keep in mind that too soft will not allow you to draw an elegant, sophisticated line.

It is better to choose a pencil of medium hardness, which allows you to draw clear lines, but at the same time lends itself to shading.

Color

As for the color of the eyeliner, it would be wrong to stop only at the black version. Silver, blue or green arrows are perfect for light-eyed women. Also, light eyeliner is suitable for visual. Don't add brightness to your image!

When doing daytime makeup, try to make your eyeliner look as natural as possible.

As for evening options, there is room for your imagination to run wild. Everyone’s favorite “smoky eye” looks gorgeous in combination with shaded arrows. And for freestyle parties, you can afford unusual geometric arrows.

Tips for drawing arrows with a pencil:

1. You need to draw eyeliner on an open or half-open eye.
2. To prevent your hand from shaking, place your elbow on the table.
3. Excess makeup can always be removed with a cotton swab.
4. If you have little experience in drawing arrows with a pencil, first draw a dotted line and only then outline it.
5. Drawing a thick arrow begins with the thinnest section, and ends with shading of the eyeliner.

Due to the fact that a pencil arrow can be easily adjusted, even completely inexperienced women can learn to draw it.

Important: a pencil arrow is unlikely to last all day. To strengthen it, you need to apply liquid eyeliner or shadow on top.

If you use a waterproof eyeliner pencil, remember that it is difficult to remove from the skin and if you apply the wrong strokes, you will most likely have to wash off all your makeup.

When drawing arrows with a pencil, you don’t have to worry about the fact that it will be problematic to correct an uneven line. It can always be shaded or partially covered with shadows.

How to draw arrows on the eyes correctly: photo step by step with a pencil

If you don't know which arrows suit you, you need to choose a time and experiment with looks. This way you will get the hang of it and decide on the eyeliner style.

So, stock up on pencil, eye shadow and cotton swabs. Let's start drawing:

1. Sit so that you can clearly see your eyes in the mirror (if necessary, point an additional light source at your face).
2. Look straight into the mirror (not from the side or from below).
3. Start drawing an arrow from the very middle of the upper eyelid, gradually moving the line towards the outer corner.
4. Try to draw eyeliner closer to the eyelash growth area.
5. It's time to thicken the arrow, giving it its final length and adjusting its shape. It doesn’t matter whether you do this from the outer corner to the inner one, or vice versa.
6. If necessary, draw the corner inside the eye.

Helpful advice: to draw a classic arrow with a pencil, it is advisable to maintain parallelism of the lines, that is, the bend of the arrow should be parallel to the inner curve of the eyebrow.

Another way to draw pencil arrows is presented in the following step-by-step photo:

Everything here is clear without words. Sit down and try it now! The only thing that needs to be taken into account: bright, expressive arrows are more suitable for evening makeup.

After you have mastered the pencil technique, you can start drawing arrows using eyeliner.

Drawing arrows with eyeliner

The arrows are drawn using liquid, cream eyeliner or a tool similar to a felt-tip pen. In order to understand which method is right for you, you should try to line your eyelid in different ways.

The easiest way to line your eyes is with a felt-tip eyeliner, which is often used when switching from pencil to liquid products. The resulting line does not smear, dries quickly, but does not last too long.

Liquid eyeliners are also called liners. They often have uncomfortable brushes, which take a long time to get used to, because managing liquid eyeliner is quite difficult. At first, the arrow may not be wide enough or even crooked, but over time you will definitely learn how to draw rich, bright eye makeup.

The algorithm for applying the arrow is the same for all types of eyeliner. Remember: bright eyes will look attractive only with smooth and visually healthy skin, so don’t ignore foundation and do eye makeup last.

Be sure to apply the base product to the entire surface of the eyelids. This will visually make your eyes larger and brighter, and also ensure the durability of your makeup. Pick up your eyeliner and get started.

To make the drawn arrows look perfectly even, you can glue adhesive tape to the outer corners of the eyes and draw a line clearly along it.

1. After gluing the tape on the side of the 2 eyes, draw arrows along the lash line with thin eyeliner.
2. We move the outer corner of the arrow along the adhesive tape.
3. We thicken the arrows and paint the eyelashes.

Step-by-step makeup in a classic style is done like this:

• first draw an arrow in the corner of the eye with eyeliner;
• extend it to the middle of the upper eyelid;
• carefully shade the area around the eyelashes;
• carefully draw the arrow to the inner corner of the eye, gradually making the line thinner;
• apply eyelashes.

Beautifully and clearly drawn arrows will turn your gaze into that of a cat: attractive and mysterious. This gives charm and fits almost all life occasions. ( 1 ratings, average: 5,00 out of 5)
