Arrows are not only with cupid, but also with beautiful ladies. The art of applying makeup, especially this one, requires not only a sense of proportion and taste, but also jewelry accuracy. For all the "torment" associated with the development of eyeliner techniques, you will get real beauty, because no detail of makeup can compare in femininity, like arrows. Not for nothing that sex symbols of different times (such as Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn) adopted this particular element of “decoration”.
With it, you can visually enlarge the eye, adjust the shape and make the look expressive. In this article, you will learn how to beautifully bring your eyes down.
Kinds
There are several types of “tools” for arrows. Read here how to bring your eyes down in various ways.
Liquid eyeliner (liner). It is a viscous mixture that dries quickly and remotely resembles mascara. It is usually sold in cylindrical bottles closed with a brush cap. There are two types of eyeliner: pencil - giving a clear and thin line, it is convenient for beginners to use, and a brush-like one. A feature of this type is that the liquid base dries quickly, lasts a long time, but it is difficult to apply evenly.
How to properly apply eyeliner:
- You need to slightly pull the skin of the eyelids towards the auricle, so that the line turns out to be of the correct shape.
- Then visualize the path of the eyeliner.
- Touch the tip of the liner to the outer corner of the upper eyelid and stretch the line a little up, diagonally (make sure that the end is as thin as possible).
- Release stretched skin, correct errors.
- To do the same scheme with the middle part of the upper eyelid, carefully connecting its end with the previous line.
- Do the same with the line above the inner corner of the eye.
How to bring eyes with a pencil? Similar to the above scheme. But here there are peculiarities of choosing and preparing a pencil for creating arrows:
- Its core should be soft enough and easily applied to the skin.
- Using a sharpener, if this is not a new pencil, sharpen it to the thinnest tip.
- The peculiarity of this technique is that you can create “soft” arrows by blending them with a foam pad or a hard, short pile.
Thus, we learned the types of eyeliner and understood how to let our eyes down.
Primary requirements
There are classic indestructible laws in the implementation of makeup with arrows, breaking which, you can get a vulgar and sloppy makeup.
No. 1 - "sharp ending". The end of the arrow should be smooth and subtle with jewelry precision. Breaking the rule makes the look heavy.
No. 2 - “integrity”. The line cannot be discontinuous, because otherwise the arrow distorts the eyelid. The line should repeat the shape of the upper part of the eye.
No. 3 - "completeness." If you make the arrow too thick, it will visually reduce the eye, and if it is too thin, then it will look like an incomplete one. Therefore, the golden mean is important here: at the inner eyelid there is the thinnest part of the line, and it expands towards the end until the arrow bends upward at the outer eyelid. Then it thins to extinction.
The images
So, we already learned how to fail our eyes. Now consider the images that can be created using this makeup technique.
- A dramatic and magnetic look will create a black eyeliner. This is what the beautiful divas Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn used. This is a "classic of the genre."
- The effect of exoticism will provide green eyeliner. She especially looks good on tanned skin, creating associations with a stranger from unknown islands.
- A blue eyeliner will complement the romantic look - thanks to her look will look more tender.
- And finally, a bold version: blue arrows. They are very suitable for brunettes, and complement the style of sailors.
