How to draw arrows for the eyes? The types of this spectacular and universal way to highlight the eyes are very diverse, get acquainted with them and how to choose them.
Arrows are not for everyone, but in most cases this is a fairly simple and effective way to emphasize the eyes. By varying their thickness, shape and changing color, you can achieve a variety of effects. Below in the photo you can see how different types of arrows are able to change the same eyes.
Arrows for the eyes: types for eye type
- Arrows through the entire eyelid with a ponytail. Such arrows were worn by Marlene Dietrich. This is a classic thin arrow, gracefully framing the line of the upper eyelid. The tail is smooth, can be of different lengths, but in no case bends fervently up. These arrows look sensual, but strict.
- Arrows through the entire eyelid with the tail up. These are fairly thick lines that visually round the eye. They give the look a slight youthful flirty, innocence and make the eyes a little feline. These are the arrows that Audrey Hepburn wore.The tail, as it were, continues the line of the lower eyelid and visually slightly raises the outer side of the eye. Suitable only for girls with well-defined eyelids. Do not confuse these arrows with feline arrows - with feline arrows, the corner is more expressive and goes far beyond the border of the century.
- Arrows from the middle of the century. They can shape the outside of the eye and the inside. The second option is used much less often and only for eyes that need to be visually brought together (wide-set eyes). In any case, such an arrow smoothly ends in the middle. Arrows until the middle of the century to the outer edge are also called Marilyn Monroe arrows. They really add to the look of languor.
- Double arrows without connecting the tails. The lower arrow and upper do not meet each other. This technique allows you to open deep-set slit-like eyes.
- Invisible arrow. Not all girls can afford the arrow on the upper eyelid , for example, this is impossible with the impending century. How then to emphasize the line of eyelashes? Very simple - the arrow is drawn directly along this line. It is necessary to color the space between the eyelashes, and then draw the thinnest line with a sharpened pencil along their growth.
- Curved arrow. Another option for the impending century. Such an arrow is drawn so that with an open eye it appears solid, with a smoothly rounded tail.
- The double arrow on the upper eyelid is usually a bright and catchy option, a game with color, one arrow is drawn on top of the other. They are worn most often in the summer. They can be different in form, and therefore, any girl can use them using her own drawing scheme. Their only feature is that they are thicker than the usual arrows for the eyes.
Types of application technology
- By a liner. It gives the clearest graphical arrows.
- Cream eyeliner. In external effect, it is no different from the ayliner, but it is sold in jars. The arrow is drawn with a brush.
- With a pencil. The most versatile option. You can draw clear arrows with a pencil (though they will never have the sharpness and gloss that an airliner gives), and you can also blend it with a soft line.
- The shadows. In order to apply the arrow with shadows, you can dampen the brush or take a special shadow fixer - then the line will be thin and clear. If the shadows are quite saturated and give a bright trace, then you can do without these tricks.
Arrows for the eyes: types of color schemes
It would seem that everything is simple: you can choose any color. From classic black to any suitable. However, there are two varieties of arrows in color: modeling (using a natural color, gray, brown or black) and decorative. The first arrow can be almost invisible, the second is contraindicated - it replaces the shadow and should be bright. Although its corrective capabilities are not excluded. In addition, the arrows are not only solid, but also with the gradient effect. They are also called arrows degrade. In order to draw such arrows, it is better to use the colors of shadows that are close in hue, so that the transition turns out to be smooth.
