Arrows have long been considered a “classic” of makeup. They suit any eye shape, face shape, hair color, etc. A fashion trend in recent seasons is a colored line on the eyelid. Using a varied palette, you can highlight the eyes and make the image bright and special. This is the ideal make-up option when you have to go to an important event.
Like any other make-up, colored arrows on the eyes have their own characteristics. What should you pay attention to when creating dramatic, colorful lines on your eyes? First of all, the type of cosmetics is of great importance. When choosing a liquid eyeliner, felt-tip pen, or liner, the lines will be bright and saturated. If you draw them with pencils, then you can achieve a translucent effect. The only exception is a tonal pencil, since it can be used to draw both bright and smoky lines.
If, when creating a make-up, the choice fell on colored arrows, you should take into account some nuances. For example, different shades of eyeliners and felt-tip pens suit different eye colors. Blue eyes can be emphasized with the following shades:
Green-eyed beauties can experiment with the following colors:
Eyeliners or felt-tip pens of any shade will help highlight gray eyes. Makeup with red arrows will look especially bright. But it is not advisable to use a red tone for those whose eyelid threatens to hang over the eye, since this color will visually make it even heavier.
Brown eyes will be shaded with lilac, green, and blue tones. Makeup with blue arrows will suit any eye color. Blue lines are just as versatile as black lines.
White arrows on the eyes look good in the spring and summer. White eyeliner, shadows applied using a wet technique, or a felt-tip pen will make your look brighter and more expressive. White lines on the eyelids go well with glitter. They are suitable for everyday makeup.
Arrows do not only mean single-color lines. Ombre or color block lines are very popular. These are lines consisting of two or more colors shaded together. In order to shade the line carefully and make the transition from one shade to another softer, you need to use a thin brush with synthetic bristles.
In order to correctly draw a colored stripe on the eyelid, first of all you need to decide on the number and palette of shades. Next, you need to prepare the skin before applying the eyeliner and apply the main color so that the eyeliner is not hidden behind the eyelashes or shadows. Below we discuss the technique of applying makeup with colored arrows step by step.
In order for the makeup to remain on the skin longer, the dermis is treated with degreasing agents before applying it. The eyelids should also be wiped with a cosmetic degreaser.
The skin color on the eyelids must be evened out using highlighter, foundation or foundation powder. Then shadows are applied, the color of which will be the background color for the eyeliner.
The next procedure should be to draw the interciliary contour of the lower eyelid. To do this, use a very soft pencil to paint the space between the eyelashes. Ideal makeup implies completely painted areas of the skin.
Next, you should paint the interciliary space of the upper eyelid. Considering that the line can be double, the colored one can be applied on top of the classic black one, then the space between the eyelashes must be painted carefully.
The next step is to apply the arrow. Depending on what type of arrow was chosen, a colored stripe is applied with a brush to the upper and lower eyelids. Some, in order not to waste time every day drawing a thin arrow, get a tattoo. With the help of tattooing on the upper and lower eyelids, the shape of the eyes is visually enlarged.
Finally, you should tint your eyelashes. At this stage you can also experiment. You can leave natural eyelashes, lightly touching them with mascara. This will soften the bright makeup a little. You can paint the lower and upper eyelashes well. This way you will get a spectacular, bright, evening make-up.
For brown eyes, stripes of all lilac shades and any green are suitable.
Pay attention! The most flattering eyeliner color for brown eyes is brown. In addition, it will look good on olive or dark skin and will emphasize a tan.
The brown shade should be chosen correctly. Under no circumstances should it be the same as your eye color. It is best to choose a shade a couple of shades darker. For a brunette with brown eyes, makeup with purple arrows will suit her.
For evening makeup, the lilac color of the stripes, with a light metallic tint, is suitable. For daytime - light lilac tones.
Green arrows will emphasize the depth of brown eyes. To create a mysterious image, a dark emerald color is ideal.
A good make-up should highlight your strengths and hide minor flaws. Thus, eye makeup should increase the cut, emphasize depth, and add shine. To do this, not only the color of the eyeliner, felt-tip pen or pencil is selected, but also the shape of the arrows and even their number. In most cases, for small, close-set eyes, a colored line is applied only to the upper eyelid, the lower one is emphasized with regular black eyeliner or is not drawn at all.

Select the arrows and draw correctly with your own hands
Lovers of highlighting the beauty of their eyes and making their makeup look truly bright, rejoice - your time has come! Eyeliner is back in fashion. Classic black, colored, thin or thick - choose to suit your taste.
Before moving on to the trendy and new arrow ideas, let's understand the new ones.
The simplicity and result of applying arrows depends on the method you choose.
There are 5 main assets:
Liquid eyeliner. One of the most difficult options and, practically, not a single beginner is able to cope with this tool in order to get the perfect arrow the first time. The eyeliner dries quickly, without giving a “second” chance, i.e. When applying eyeliner, you need to be extremely focused and careful, otherwise you will have to start all over again.
After long training, the result will be amazing. It is eyeliner that allows you to achieve graphically correct and perfect arrows with a glossy effect.
Eyeliner can be used both classic - black, and colored, which is very fashionable now.
Gel eyeliner. Not a bad option for beginners. Gel eyeliner is a cross between liquid eyeliner and eyeliner. The arrows are drawn with a convenient beveled brush, the gel dries quickly.
The harder you press on the brush, the thicker the shooter you will end up with.
Eyeliner-felt pen. An excellent option that allows you to easily apply eyeliner to your eyes; it’s not called a felt-tip pen for nothing. The product does not need to be dosed; it distributes itself evenly over the eye.
The best thing to do when making eyeliner is to pull the corner of the eyelid with your fingers and draw a single line, so it will turn out smoother and more beautiful.
Dry eyeliner. To apply this product, special brushes are required, and it is better to use baked shadows.
To make the arrow look brighter on your eyes, moisten the brush with water before applying.
Regular or waterproof eyeliner. Stylists' advice says that the best way to start learning how to draw correct arrows on your eyes is with a pencil - this is the easiest way.
But, when using a pencil, it is difficult to achieve the desired thickness of the arrow; in addition, the question of the symmetry of the resulting result arises and soft pencils quickly shade, losing the graphic effect.
Pencil arrows are best achieved if you choose a hard pencil and sharpen its tip sharply.
Beautiful winged eyeliner can take facial makeup to a new level, making it attractive and sexy in just 60 seconds. This is exactly how much time it takes a professional stylist to make the right arrows on the eyes.
Black classic arrows look seductive on the eyes, but often get boring. If you want to try something new, we suggest you

For brighter colors, wet the brush with face spray or plain water.
Step 3. We continue to draw the arrow in orange, which turns into yellow (gold), green, light blue and dark blue.
Make sure your brush is clean before applying each new color.
Step 4. Carefully blend the boundaries between the colors.
Step 5. Apply a white liner to the lower eyelid to make your eyes appear larger and more expressive.

The arrows on the eyes, photos of which we posted here especially for you today, as a way of decorating ladies’ eyes, have long since become a classic. But since the most famous fashionistas of this planet began to “draw” them, not many can boast of the ability to perfectly create a “cat look”. Despite the seemingly extraordinary complexity of the technique, having learned some secrets, any girl can comprehend this simple science. Do you want to master this skill? Shall we begin then?
Every woman secretly dreams of becoming the object of attraction for all the men around her. How we love to catch the gaze of members of the opposite sex, don’t we? But in order to be known as a “devourer” of hearts, you must always look stunning. And since the eyes are considered the mirror of the soul, they should be beautifully decorated. And what can more effectively emphasize the depth of your inner world, which is reflected in your gaze, than elegant and sophisticated arrows?
The history of this make-up goes back to the last century. In the mid-50s, such world-class stars as Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren made it their calling card. There was never a time when these ladies would appear on the red carpet without their stunning wings. And they, by the way, won the hearts of millions of men. Well, now it’s your turn to master the art of seduction and learn how to paint the perfect charcoal makeup on your eyes.
Did you know that this type of make-up has several varieties? Or have you already been informed that their development is due to a large number of individual characteristics of women’s appearance? Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves, everything is in order.
The most popular types:
There are often cases when a woman seems to have straight arrows and an ideal color, but the overall picture resembles caricatures and “smacks” of vulgarity. Why is this so? The answer is simple: incorrectly chosen make-up without taking into account the characteristics of the eyes.
To date, several decoration techniques have been developed. The most popular for beginners and “experienced” are:
Make-up is not just a matter of waving a brush a few times and running mascara over your eyelashes. If you want to feel comfortable all evening, do not run to the toilet every 10 minutes to eliminate periodically appearing defects, and do not carry a large cosmetic bag with you, read the recommendations for the correct execution of a beauty transformation.
Take the eyeliner brush in your hand and start moving from the inner corner of the eye. Move your hand as close to the eyelashes as possible. After making sketches, apply a second, more “confident” layer. Remove the shortcomings.
Before you start drawing your makeup, take a pencil and carefully trace the path that the eyeliner will follow in a few minutes. As a result of your manipulations on the upper eyelid, a tick should be clearly visible at the outer corner. Fill this space with pencil marks, and if you are happy with the width and curve, outline the result with liquid makeup.
Many of you who have wondered about the intricacies of creating super-arrows have probably already watched hundreds of videos on the Internet in which fashion bloggers demonstrated their ability to perfectly draw arrows. But none of them bothered to tell why, when making the same movements, for one girl everything turned out flawlessly, while for the other it turned out crooked and ugly. Now we will tell you about typical mistakes that beginners can make.
The final result largely depends on the choice of product. Buy only those products whose manufacturers you have a good impression of. And remember, the eyeliner should not be very liquid, but not thick either. Today you can see the following varieties on store shelves:
Every woman has at least once thought about how tedious these daily manipulations with foundations, mascara, pencils and liners are. Modern cosmetology is ready to solve this problem. Today, permanent makeup (popularly known as tattooing) allows you to visually enlarge your lips, that is, highlight their contour, shape your eyebrows and draw long-lasting lines on your eyes. Once you do the procedure, you can forget about daily cosmetic procedures for several years.
Permanent makeup has no restrictions. You can “stuff” a thin or thick arrow, from the inner corner and from the middle. Consult with a specialist who will help you choose an option based on the individual characteristics of your appearance.
Arrows are always beautiful, sophisticated, daring, defiant, stunning, etc. The list of praiseworthy characteristics can be continued endlessly. But few people know that such an effect is achieved only after dozens of failures. If you set a goal to learn how to draw with liquid eyeliner, do not deviate from your intended goal. It didn’t work out 15 times, but it will definitely work out on the 17th. The main thing is to follow all the rules and not make sudden movements.
We have previously described simple drawing techniques that you can use today. Do you have free time? Why not start now? Choose a comfortable place near the table in the bedroom or kitchen and place cosmetics in front of you. Sit in front of the mirror so that your back is straight and your elbow rests calmly on the surface. It is not recommended to hold your hand suspended - one uneven movement and you will have to wash everything off and start again.
Everyone is guided by different considerations, some choose their favorite color, while others want the arrow to match the color of the outfit, but there are several universal recommendations.
When choosing the color of eyeliner, you should remember the main rule: the color of the eyeliner should be combined not only with the color of the shadows that you will use in makeup, but also with the color of your eyes, skin color, and hair color.
The color of the eyeliner should never be darker than the color of the mascara.
Each woman decides for herself what color to choose for drawing an arrow, the main thing is that the arrow matches the shape of her eyes (read more here -) and makes the woman more attractive.
A small master class:
Colored arrows, in principle, are no different from black ones, but it is better to draw them with a pencil, because... The shadows fall better on the pencil. You can use adhesive tape, then the arrows will turn out symmetrical.
So, glue a small piece of tape to the outer corner of the eye. See photo (the line of the arrow should go at the same angle with the line of the eyebrow - then the eyes will not seem sadly drooping) Then we prepare the eye for colored arrows - apply eye makeup: any, but without an arrow))) I did not apply makeup, only white shadows . It turns out like this
We draw an arrow. Adhesive tape will prevent the arrow from turning crooked. Then we take the shadows of the desired color, moisten and paint over the arrow.
