1. Sketch in pencil
Eyeliners are quite insidious. Therefore, if you are new to drawing arrows, first bring your eyes up with a soft pencil of the same shade as the liner. The line is likely to turn out quite wide and you are unlikely to be able to get close to the eyelashes. But then this gap between the eyelashes and the line of the pencil can be easily painted over with eyeliner. Well, that wide arrows are back in fashion.
5. Find a fulcrum
Professionals who know how to properly color their eyes with eyeliner can draw perfect arrows without even looking in the mirror. But for beginners it is better to fix the hand so that it does not flinch at the most crucial moment. Put your elbow on the table, and slightly raise and fix the center of the eyebrow with the finger of the other hand. This will allow the tip of the applicator to reach the roots of the eyelashes.
6. Start with the shadows.
If you have no idea how to apply eyeliner or the right shade is not at hand, use shadows. This is the easiest option. Moisten a thin brush lightly with water (the color on the eyelids will turn out to be more saturated, but the shadows will not crumble) and apply it several times along the eyelash growth line. After applying the second, and if necessary, the third layer to enhance the color and straighten blemishes.
7. Move backwards
Of course, real makeup artists who know how to properly bring their eyes with eyeliner always draw an arrow from the inner corner of the eye to the outer. However, not everyone can do a straight line with one stroke. Beginners are allowed to let their eyes from the outer corner of the eye. Try it - it’s so much easier!
13. Think Creative
Multi-colored liners, which recently embarrassed us, are increasingly entering everyday life. Gray, brown, blue are suitable for everyday wear. Gold, silver, neon - for the grand exit. Makeup looks very beautiful when at first a black arrow is drawn, and above it a gold or silver arrow. You can use several colors, but it is not always possible to purely technically execute it yourself. It’s easier to first draw your eyes with a colored pencil, and then draw a thin black line along the cilia.
15. Stay tuned
The question - how to color your eyes with eyeliner - still baffles you? We suggest using the help of overhead arrows. Unfortunately, the accessory will not be released in large quantities. But he regularly appears in seasonal makeup collections for some brands. For example, the Mirror Eyes set with fake arrows was included in the Dior Christmas collection. They stick to the upper eyelid, and you can use them many times. A great solution when you need to quickly create a spectacular look.
