Liquid eyeliner or liner

Suitable for those who already have a full hand. It is the arrows drawn with liquid eyeliner that look stylish, neat and stay on the eyes for a long time. But beginners have a lot of chances to draw a curved line with a liner. If the arrow came out unsuccessful, it will have to be washed off and drawn all over again. Therefore, before using eyeliner, you need to practice well with a pencil or shadows.

Stages of drawing arrows

Having decided for yourself how to make up your eyes with eyeliner, you can proceed directly to eye makeup.

Before you paint your eyes with eyeliner, you need to complete all the other stages of makeup, for example, even out the tone of the face and color the eyebrows. But it is necessary to curl and dye eyelashes after summing up the eyes.

Draw a contour

Drawing a successful arrow right off the bat is a very difficult task. That's why it is better to first draw the outline of the arrow, and only then paint over it. This step will help insure against major flaws that cannot be corrected in any way. The contour is best done with small sharp strokes. At the stage when we learn to draw arrows, a beveled brush will be indispensable. With its help, the line is more even.

Rules for constructing arrows

There are many types of arrows. Many have to choose a unique form for themselves. However, the tail of the arrow must always point up.. Otherwise, instead of a seductive "cat" look, you risk getting sad, dreary eyes.

Fixing makeup

If a pencil was chosen as a tool, it is best to fix it with shadows or a liner. Then it will last longer, will not float and will not slip.

We remove the shortcomings

No one is immune from small mistakes. If the arrow came out a little sloppy, it can be corrected with a concealer. But you can’t overdo it with it, otherwise the whole makeup will look dirty.

Arrow and eye shape

Before you line your eyes with eyeliner, you should take into account the individual characteristics of the eyes, their shape, color, fit and cut. Arrows can hide some facial imperfections if you choose them wisely.

small eyes a line that starts from the middle of the eye, expands and lengthens beyond the outer corner, is suitable. It visually enlarges the eyes and makes the look brighter and more expressive.

Close-set eyes should be painted along the entire length of the eyelid, gradually expanding the line to the outer corner.

When wide-set eyes the emphasis should be on the inner corner. It must be carefully drawn, but not overdone.

overly round eyes decorate with a uniform long line extending beyond the eye. Thus, they will appear more elongated.

Narrow eyes decorate a long line along the entire lash line, but it should become thicker in the pupil area. Thanks to this nuance, the eyes will look wider and more open.

Having understood the system of how to properly line your eyes with eyeliner and what shape of the arrow suits your eyes specifically, you can easily create a successful and beautiful make-up.
