Practice, practice and practice more… Only thanks to him can you get a master’s degree in the art of drawing arrows. So read our top tips and take action!
Prepare your eyelid skin
A mandatory step before applying eyeliner is to prepare the skin. Clean your face thoroughly, apply eye shadow base or primer to your eyelids and wait for the product to dry. This will help increase the durability of the wings and prevent them from smearing throughout the day.
Find a fulcrum for your elbow
This is really important in the early stages. It is quite difficult to keep your hand up and draw an arrow at the same time. They may appear uneven and wavy. So first find something to rest your elbow on and only then start applying makeup.
Do not pull the skin over your eyelids
No, this will not help, but on the contrary, it can distort the arrow line, creating an “accordion” effect. Moreover, since the skin of the eyelids is sensitive and thin, you should not stretch it too much. If you have droopy eyelids, in this material you will find tips on how to make perfect winged eyeliners of this type.
Move gradually
Start drawing an arrow from the inner corner of the eye, gradually moving towards the outer corner. If you are using liquid or gel eyeliner, apply it in a thin line, gradually increasing its thickness. If you have a pencil, it’s easier to apply it in short strokes to create an even line.
Use a life hack from TikTok
Recently, TikTok users came up with a life hack for perfect arrows that will help beginners in this regard. Place a dot on the outer corner of the eye (where you want to start the arrow), and then, without lifting the eyeliner from the eyelid, sharply turn your head in the opposite direction (for example, if the left eye, you need to turn your head to the right). The ideal line is ready, all that remains is to extend it to the outer corner of the eye.
