How can you draw perfect arrows?

Tips to help you draw the right and perfect arrows
Top Tips for Drawing Arrows:
- If you are not confident in your abilities, but want to have bright and graphic arrows, then first draw a line with shadows, and then outline the result with eyeliner. The first product is easier to wash off, so you can always fix the mistake quickly.
- Don't draw too thick arrows at once. It is better to start small and gradually add thickness to them. This way you can see at a glance when you need to stop.
- Do your makeup in front of a large mirror. Usually, when you paint your eyebrows or eyes in front of a small mirror, you don’t get the result you want. If you immediately look in large, then the picture will be visible in full.
- Remember that there must always be support. If the handwill constantly hang out, then the arrow will turn out to be uneven.
What are the shapes of the eyes?
Any makeup artist will say with confidence that the arrows must be drawn based on the shape of the eyes. This way you can hide flaws, emphasize advantages and get an excellent result:
- Almond shape. These eyes are usually small, slightly squinted. Girls with such eyes will suit medium-thick arrows with a short, highly raised tip.
- Round eyes. The main problem of this type is volume. When drawing arrows, you need to try to stretch the eye a little. Therefore, you need to make a smooth increase in the thickness of the line from the inner corner to the outer. It is worth remembering that the tip should be long enough.
- Asian eyes. Girls with this shape of eyes fit thick arrows with a small tip. They will help visually expand and slightly reduce the length of the eye.
- Eyes with downturned corners. Here the main task is to raise the outer part. To do this, you need to make a fairly long, highly raised tip.
Perfect Arrow Drawing Technique
So now let's learn how to draw classic arrows:
- Correct position. You need to move as close as possible to a larger mirror. Now you need to make sure that the hand has support.
- Find the tip and the highest point of the arrow. We bring the pencil to the corner of the nose, mentally draw a line through the pupil and put an inconspicuous point. There will be an inflection of the arrow. Now we put the pencil to the corner of the nose, visually draw a linethrough the outer corner, mark the point of the end of the arrow.
- Now connect all the dots. If you can’t immediately draw a straight line, then you can do it in several stages, and then smooth out the bumps.
- At the end, you need to draw a corner, which is a continuation of the cilia. After that, you need to connect the highest point with the base and paint over the empty triangle.
Perfect Shooting Technique for an Evening Event
If you want to make a beautiful make-up with classic arrows for an evening event, then you need to use slightly different rules:
- Create the perfect face tone. Clear bright arrows require perfect skin. Any imperfections will become more visible.
- Underlined eyelid crease. In evening make-up, it is necessary to highlight the eyes more strongly. To do this, you need to take a medium brown shadow and a fluffy brush, which must be applied to the orbital crease.
- Arrow. It should be deep black. If you want to add a touch of unusualness, then you can use a pigment to match the color of the dress. Yes, do not forget that the line should be thicker and the tip longer.
- Underlined lower eyelid. This will help frame the eyes to the end. To do this, you can use the same shadows that highlighted the fold. The main thing is to add a slightly darker shade near the ciliary contour and blend smoothly. In addition, you can paint over the lower mucosa with a white pencil, so the makeup will look fresh.
Techniqueperforming classic feathered arrows
So, let's learn how to draw classic arrows on the eyes with a feathered effect:
- We take a fat pencil of rich brown or black color. It is they who can create a clean and beautiful transition.
- Use it to draw an arrow. You can not make it even.
- Now using a densely packed brush, which is called "barrel", blend the pencil upwards. To make things go faster, you can use the shadows. True, it is worth remembering that if you want black arrows, then you can not use gray shadows. It's easier to make "dirt" with them.
- Once you've created a neat transition, you can overlay some bright color like red or green on top.
- At the end, don't forget to repeat the same steps on the lower eyelid. It is worth remembering that as soon as the arrows are ready, you need to trim the tip with a dense flat brush and foundation. This will result in a cleaner and more professional result.
