Arrows are one of the makeup trends of 2019. And although the fashion for shades and shapes of arrows is constantly changing, they always remain relevant. Let's remember the girls who personified entire decades, from Marlene Dietrich and Marilyn Monroe to Svetlana Svetlichnaya, Sharon Stone and Claudia Schiffer - they always had arrows on their eyelids. Either bright and accentuated, or muted and soft. In the 90s, Yoji Yamamoto brought asexuality and androgyny into fashion. For the first time in history, during this period, arrows lost a little of their relevance, but with the beginning of the 2000s they returned to fashion again. Now let's figure out which arrows are among the trends in 2019.

Fashionable makeup 2019 with arrows

Both professional and non-professional cosmetics brands have recently been actively producing colored eye makeup products: pencils, liners, kajals. The last product is quite new for us, despite the fact that it has been known in the Eastern beauty industry for a long time. Even in ancient times, girls lined the inner mucous membrane of their eyes with antimony, which was prepared from lamb fat, almond oil, usma, basma and antimony itself. It was applied with a thin wooden stick, sometimes adding ash. And Egyptian beauties in ancient times painted their eyes with a thick black liquid called “mastim,” applying it to their eyelids with a brush or a special thin stick. Nowadays, soft wax kajala pencils are used for this, which do not wear off even after moisture gets on the mucous membrane. Their wax base perfectly seals the color, so they can be found in classic graphite, black and gray shades, as well as incredibly bright ones: aqua, green, blue or red.

Last year, the Givenchy brand released a collection of burgundy beauty products (liner, mascara, pencil and kajal), although such colors are rarely used for eye makeup. Makeup artists fear that they can create the effect of sore eyes. The Dior brand had a similar practice: a few years ago it released mascara in the shade of rotten cherry. Now these products are very popular, and any mascara except black is in fashion. The same goes for eye pencils. Every girl should have several shades in her arsenal this year. I really like the hands in deep tones reminiscent of black - dark blue, dark green and purple. They perfectly highlight the color of the eyes. At the same time, you should not choose the color of the pencil to match the color of your clothes or accessories - this is not fashionable now. Makeup in 2019 is an independent element of the image. How to choose a pencil to match your eye color for winged makeup? It is worth focusing on the color wheel and choosing shades that are close to the color of your eyes, or, conversely, contrasting ones. For example, girls with green eyes should pay attention not only to emerald and grassy shades, but also to deep red, burgundy and overripe cherry shades. This will not only highlight the eyes, but also emphasize the makeup as a whole.

Considering the non-standard approach to eyeliner in 2019, you can use the most extraordinary colors in eye makeup, ranging from yellow to the shade of living coral - the most fashionable color of 2019 according to Pantone. Of course, you don’t need to paint such wings every day for work, but why not surprise your boyfriend on a date or go out with such spectacular makeup? The more eyeliners you have, the more emotions they can convey!

How to Draw Fashionable Arrows: Product Review

For eye makeup in 2019, girls can use different cosmetic products. The pencil gives the softest line, as it has a waxy texture and can be shaded; They can also highlight the eyelash line. Pencils can be used alone or combined with shadows. The next product for creating eyeliner is a regular wax eyeliner . It can be in the form of a tube with a brush or a separate jar. In the latter case, the makeup artist draws arrows on clients with an elastic synthetic brush. In this case, the arrow will be brighter, richer and more durable - an excellent option for young girls who are not afraid of bright makeup. I recommend that older women use calmer color options. If you want your eyeliner to last for a very long time, I advise you to use gel eyeliner rather than wax. It will also be relevant in winter if the girl has a tendency to watery eyes. Liner is the same eyeliner, enclosed in a tube for convenience. Ideal if you need to take the product with you to touch up your makeup. Another product that makeup artists love is aqua paint . As a rule, it is used for fashion shooting and is not designed for a long-lasting effect. If there is any moisture, for example, if the eyelid sweats, you are caught in the rain or snow, all the makeup can run down your face. If, after all, you chose watercolors to create the arrow, I advise you to duplicate it with tone-on-tone shadows so that it is more durable.

An alternative way to draw arrows is with a damp thin brush and eye shadow . In this case, it will not be possible to achieve particularly bright shades, and the contour will be diffuse. Arrows can also be drawn using a variety of cream products , while varying their saturation. These can be gold or silver arrows - they look very beautiful and fashionable on the eyes. Unfortunately, cream products do not last long, so they should only be used on special occasions. For the third season in a row, all kinds of shimmers, glitters and highlighters are breaking popularity records. If we want to decorate the arrow with some kind of shimmer, it is best to use glitter - shiny particles of the coarsest grind. First, you should draw an arrow with a pencil or wax eyeliner: they have a soft texture that absorbs other products well. Then we apply glitter along the line with a brush and as a result we get a very beautiful, spectacular shine. Such arrows will be especially relevant during the holidays, but, of course, they are not suitable for everyday makeup. The main rule at all times is that makeup should be done with taste and a sense of proportion.
