The arrow must be drawn, starting from the inner corner of the eye and leading to the outer. In this case, the arrow should gradually expand. Its end should be slightly rounded up.
Types of arrows on the eyes should be selected according to their shape. For example, small or close-set eyes should notoutline from the inner corner; no need to draw an arrow from the very beginning of the inner side of the eye. The arrow should be drawn as close as possible to the eyelash growth contour, while not protruding much beyond the edge (up to 3 mm).
The line on the lower eyelid should cover no more than a third of the outer corner of the eye. And do not forget to shade the applied lines. This will make your eyes more expressive.
Completely different types of arrows on the eyes should be used if the eyes are wide apart. In this case, the line should be drawn along the upper eyelid, outlining both the inner and outer corners of the eye. The arrow on the lower eyelid should reach approximately the middle of the eye and end at the outer corner.
