How to draw arrows?
Yes, yes, I know how much time and nerves you spent near the mirror, trying to make up a beautiful arrow! And here it is, it seems to have turned out beautiful and perfect, but there is a problem - to make the same on the second eye.
Today I will share with you life hacks on how to make up arrows. Here we go?!
Lifehack number 1! Tinting the interlashes
If you tint your interlashes, then any, even the thinnest and most inconspicuous arrows, will look much cooler. To tint the interlash area, you can use:
- waterproof pencil,
- kajal,
- gel eyeliner,
- liners.
By the way, this technique can also be used independently, it is not necessary to draw it only with an arrow - due to the tinting of the interlashes, the eyelashes will appear even thicker.
Lifehack number 2! Sketch with shadows.
I think that every girl is faced with the fact that when you try to immediately make a clear arrow, you get a lot of dirt. Out of habit, it is extremely difficult to choose the direction for the arrow.
If you don't have time and no practice, then you can use light brown shadows as guides or arrow outlines. The shadows will not be very noticeable and it is much easier to correct.
For application, you need a flat brush to get a clear line. And already on the finished "sketch" feel free to draw arrows.
You can, by the way, replace the shadows with a light pencil, but as for me, the shadows are more suitable.
Lifehack number 3! Symmetry on the open eye!
The most common mistake girls make is to draw arrows on their closed eyes. It would be more correct to look directly into the mirror and sketch on one eye, and then on the other. So you will be sure of their symmetry and at this stage, it is much more convenient to correct any mistakes than when you have already drawn an uneven arrow.
Lifehack number 4! Using a stencil.
Manufacturers have come up with special stencils. How do they work? You apply the stencil to your eyes and draw the correct arrow along its contour. There are such stencils by beautyblender, for example. But they have their own pitfalls: it is inconvenient to use gel liners with them.
Lifehack number 5! It does not look clearly - shade.
If your arrow does not turn out to be clear and even along the top line, then just shade them. If it is a gel liner, its fresh texture can be easily shaded. You can do this with a flat brush or any other convenient for you.
And it looks like there is a clear arrow along the bottom line, and no flaws are visible along the top.
By the way, such arrows are now in trend!
These were my life hacks for creating perfect arrows. Of course, these are not all existing techniques, there are actually a lot of them! But these are the ones that have been tested on personal experience and I really like them.
