Makeup with white arrows and pearls: step-by-step technology

Creative makeup always inspires and allows the makeup artist to show freedom of imagination. Eye makeup with white arrows on a mother-of-pearl base and delicate pearls along the crease of the upper eyelid looks fresh and unconventional and is great for creative photography or video shooting.

In 2020, pearls have become a full-fledged beauty accent: they add sophistication and femininity to makeup, and pearls can be used on eyelids, cheekbones, eyebrows, lips and even in hair. Complete it with a light dewy finish on your face and neutral lip makeup.

How to repeat makeup with white arrows and pearls is demonstrated by professional makeup artist-stylist and teacher at New Look Studio - Marta Rodyk .

Step 1. Apply foundation to the face using an artificial brush and sponge. For the area under the eyes, we use a concealer with a denser texture and correct the oval of the face using a cream method. We carefully extinguish all products with a sponge.

Step 2. To correct the shape of the eyebrows, use a pencil. For a more natural effect, blend it out with a clean eyebrow brush. We use pearlescent eyebrow gel in the shade “brunette”.

Step 3. Apply golden pearlescent shadows to a clean eyelid. For a wet eyelid effect, we use cream or dry shadows with large pearlescent to make the makeup last longer. Use a small fluffy brush to blend out the edge.

Step 4. Using a thin brush, draw white arrows. You can use white eyeliner or face painting. For additional durability, we fix the arrow with white shadows.

Step 5. Using black eyeliner or a pencil, carefully draw the eyelash growth line and paint the eyelashes well with black mascara. For additional thickness of eyelashes we use bunches.

Step 6. Slightly above the crease of the eyelid we glue decorative pearls: larger ones in the middle and smaller ones at the edges.

Step 7. Apply a peach-colored cream blush to the apples of the cheeks, and use a cream highlighter on the cheekbones for extra shine. Set the makeup with a small amount of powder.

Step 8. For lip makeup, use gloss in a beige shade. Apply gloss to the center of the lips and blend the contour.
