It is important to remember that fashionable 2019 makeup with arrows depends not only on trends, but also on the shape of the girl’s eyes. It must be taken into account so that the image as a whole looks beautiful and harmonious.

Arrows for different eye shapes

Eyes can be almond-shaped, round, large, small, hooded or protruding. If the eyes have a straight axis, their inner and outer corners are on the same line. When the outer corner is higher than the inner corner, the axis of the eye is called ascending. And if it’s the other way around, it’s falling. Makeup artists rarely emphasize a drooping eye using arrows, because they droop the eyes even more. In this case, it is better to correct the shape with shadows or a shaded arrow that does not reach the outer corner of the eye and not focus on the eyelash growth line. If a girl has an upward shaped eye or one with a straight axis (especially if her eyes are almond-shaped), you can play with any shape of the arrows and come up with different bends of the ponytail. If the client has large eyes , you can also use different variations of the arrows. Girls with drooping eyelids need to choose their eyeliner with special care, sometimes even with their eyes open. In this case, the ponytail should be modeled taking into account the peculiarities of the shape of the eyes. In this case, it is worth paying attention to the product that will be used to draw the arrow. Pencils and wax eyeliners can leave marks on the hood. It is better to give preference to gel eyeliners or duplicate the pencil on top with shadows. Small eyes can be enlarged using an arrow, but in this case we draw a fashionable arrow only on one eyelid: either on the upper or lower, so as not to visually make the eyes even smaller. Makeup artists also advise using shaded eyeliner for small eyes - this visually enlarges the eyes, and choosing colored products for eyeliner rather than black ones.

If the eyes are round , without a doubt we draw arrows both on the lower and upper eyelids. Various options for smokey eyes with arrows will also be relevant - they will help to visually elongate the eyes. Be sure to try to complement your makeup with kajal, a pencil for mucous membranes in both dark and bright colors. This drawing option will make the eyes visually narrower. If the eyes are bulging , I recommend darkening and elongating them, and making bright, expressive lips. In this case, the arrow will not always be appropriate, as it can focus attention on the features of the eyes. In addition, you should try various kajals for staining the mucous membrane of both the upper and lower eyelids - this will help visually lengthen the eyes.

How to draw fashionable arrows?

To create the perfect classic ponytail, you need to bring the arrow along the lash line to the last eyelash and turn the ponytail to the first crease along the moving eyelid. Then the arrow will look harmonious and fit perfectly with any dress code, including business. A cat-like arrow or an arrow in the style of the twentieth century must be in harmony with the client’s style and suit her image. And it is important to choose the color of the arrow not only based on your wardrobe and eye color, but also according to your mood! As for the combination of fashionable eyebrows and arrows. For girls with large facial features, wide eyebrows suit, and for girls with small features, narrower eyebrows. If the eyes are small in relation to the overall shape of the face and the width of the eyebrows, then the arrow should be small. If the shape of the face, eyes and eyebrows as a whole look harmonious, then you can safely draw various shapes of arrows.

Fashionable arrow shapes in 2019

Fashion moves in a spiral, and in 2019 the eclectic makeup of the 20th century has returned to us. For example, a 70s-style liner can be complemented by modern trends such as shimmery highlighter, dewy glow and beautiful satin lipstick. 80s makeup with its abundance of color and shine is also incredibly relevant now. Hyper-expressive forms have also returned to fashion. If you combine the blue glossy eyeliner of the 80s with a soft tone, light correction, shine and delicate lilac or pink shadows, you will get a wonderful replica of the makeup of that era.

Beauty products for drawing arrows

An image with an arrow in the style of the 50-60s a la Marilyn Monroe or Twiggy would also be appropriate. Especially this kind of makeup with fashionable arrows on the eyes in 2019 will be suitable for all kinds of parties. In this version of makeup, in addition to arrows, it is worth adding bunched eyelashes, placing them in bushes along the entire eyelash edge. Playing with the fashion of the 20th century with modern products that cosmetics manufacturers now produce helps us expand the range of types of makeup. We can take some standard image for ourselves, but play it up in a fresh way: do not powder the skin, give the eyebrows a natural shape and shade, make minimal correction and slightly highlight the apples of the cheeks with blush to refresh the face. All the girls on the planet are beautiful in their own way. The main thing is to highlight this beauty. Arrow is a wonderful opportunity to do this in style.
