What is eyeliner?

Eyeliner can not be shaded, it can not draw the mucous. High-quality pigment hardens in 1-2 minutes and remains stable for more than 8 hours.
Arrows are a quick and easy way to make your eyes look more open, sexy and highlight the entire makeup. No matter how the fashion has changed, the arrows always remain in the top of the favorite tricks of the girls.
High-quality eyeliner:

Types of eyeliners and how they differ
Liquid eyeliners are water based or alcohol based. Alcohol dry in seconds. To draw a beautiful and even arrow a liquid product will have to be trained, we need strong movements and a steady hand.
The eyeliner in the form of a felt-tip pen is more convenient to use, but you need to find a felt-tip pen with a convenient brush. It should be thin, soft and elastic. Drawing arrows with this helper is easier than liquid liner.
Gel liners are more viscous in texture and have a dense coating. The errors in the make-up are not amenable to adjustment, the hands hold for more than 12 hours.
Using a dry eyeliner, you can create smoky arrows or sharp graphical, if applied with a wet method. The product is suitable for beginners.

By drawing an arrow with a felt-tip pen you can notice a greater number of gaps and bald spots between the ciliary edge and the arrow; you will have to spend more time filling the arrow. The line is clear and graphic.

Dry liner

- wet application.
Dry eyeliner is sold in round or rectangular jars that resemble shadows. Apply in a wet way, i.e. with a wet brush. When applied, it produces a smooth, dense black arrow, which becomes matte when dry. Suitable for daily makeup, endurance is enough for an 8-hour working day. Not a waterproof product.
Arrows drawn using a dry texture are smoother than those drawn by a liner or a liquid product. Using a dry product, you can create smoky arrows.
How to use liner and draw arrows
To find your unique arrow shape you will need a mirror and a thin brush or pencil. Substituting it to the lower eyelid, draw a visual line to the outer corner of the eye. This way you can determine the ideal direction of the tip of the arrow.
If you lift the arrow too high, your eyes round and the look will be puppet. If you send it down or pull it out smoothly, the eye seems downcast and sad. The ideal arrow is obtained if you focus on the direction of the lower eyelid.
For round eyes, it is better to start the arrow from the middle of the century, and not from the inner corner. Such a trick will help to further stretch the shape of the eye. The longer the arrow, the stronger the eye will stretch.
Before you start to draw the arrow be sure to paint over the upper line of growth of eyelashes and the upper mucosa. The best of all for this purpose is suitable waterproof black soft pencil. Otherwise, the arrow will look unfinished, and the bald spots will spoil the whole impression.
It is better to keep the liner as close as possible to the base of the rod, so control over the situation will increase.
Be sure to use the base under the shadows, draw lines will be easier, increase the resistance of makeup.
The arrows can be corrected using a corrector or micellar water.
In the age of make-up is better to abandon clear and graphic lines, they only emphasize the imperfections of the skin and highlight wrinkles. A soft gradient in the form of an arrow opposite will hide flaws and highlight the eyes.
Point drawing
First, put a dot in the inner corner of the eye - this is the beginning of the arrow. Then we put a dot in the middle of the century - this is the middle of the arrow. The highest point in the outer corner of the eye is the end of the line. Now we connect all the points together, filling the voids. So that the hand does not tremble and was relaxed, it is better to put it on a support, and to slightly tilt the head back.
Drawing with adhesive tape
By sticking a piece of masking tape in the right direction, you can easily draw a straight arrow. The only difficulty is to put it in the same directions so that the arrows are not asymmetric. Before applying the adhesive tape, you must glue the adhesive tape on the brush to remove the top adhesive layer, which can damage the delicate skin around the eyes. Scotch tape to impose under the cilia in the upward direction, as if continuing the lower eyelid. In order for the arrow to be straight, it is necessary to stick the adhesive tape evenly, getting rid of all air bubbles or creases.
Pencil drawing
To be sure of your movements, you can draw a "rough" arrow with an eyeliner, having the opportunity to correct it. Apply a waterproof, dense product from above.
Jerky drawing
