Tips for a beginner: how to draw straight arrows

Recommendations:

1. Drawing base and shadow on the upper eyelid.  First of all, when drawing arrows, you need to apply a tonal tool that will allow you to better fix the eyeliner. After that, the base foundation is applied on the eyelids with shades of light shades (when choosing the color of the shadows, eye color should be taken into account). In this case, it is necessary to shade the shadows at the corners of the eyes and eyebrows well. And in the middle part of the eyelid, where it forms a fold, shadows of brighter colors can be applied;
2. Arrow drawing.  Typically, the execution technique involves drawing from the middle of the eye to the outer corner or directly from the inner corner of the eye. It is carried out in one motion without interruption. It is important to draw it as close to the eyelash line as possible. The arrows should turn out to be as even and neat as possible. If there is a gap between the arrow and eyelashes, you need to paint over it;
3. Application of shadows on the lower eyelid and mascara tinting.  After the arrows are finished on the lower eyelid, apply shadow. And only after that the eyelashes are stained with mascara. It is advisable to paint only the upper eyelashes with mascara.

The arrows on the eyes (photo step by step) with the eyeliner should be as symmetrical as possible. If they are different, you need to redo the work. If the pencil allows for minor errors, then the eyeliner in this sense is less convenient. Noticeable even a slight roughness.

Life hacks when drawing arrows with eyeliner

Life hacks when applying arrows incredibly simplify the process.

These include several useful techniques:

1. If you get too hard or hard pencil, you can soften it. For this, it is necessary to heat the lead with a lighter or hairdryer. It is not necessary to warm for a long time, it takes from 2 to 5 seconds. From heating, the pencil heats up and becomes a little softer, the process of applying arrows is much easier.
2. If the eyeliner is over at the most inopportune moment, you can use mascara. It is necessary to dip a brush in mascara and draw a line closer to the eyelash growth line. The line should go exclusively through the outer eyelid.
3. If the arrows do not come out straight, you can use a business card or other flat and hard object. It is applied to the corner of the eye and an arrow is drawn over it. Some girls use a regular piece of paper.
4. The second option for applying straight arrows is ordinary tape. A small piece of adhesive tape is cut off, applied once to the skin, which will slightly weaken its stickiness. After that, it is glued to the corner of the eye with a gap between the adhesive tape and the eyelash growth line. Then an arrow is drawn. Instead of adhesive tape, a band-aid is also used. The sequence of the procedure remains the same.
5. You can draw arrows in the opposite direction. This means that drawing starts from the outer corner of the eye to the inner. Thus, it is much easier to make arrows for beginners.

Even the beginner can make arrows in front of a photo representing the entire sequence of actions. However, before picking up eyeliner, you should learn how to draw arrows according to step-by-step instructions in another, easier way, for example, with a pencil.
