Tattoo arrows with shading: features of art - permanent makeup

Tattoo eyelids with the effect of shadows can be classified as art - permanent makeup. With the help of eyelid tattooing with shading, it is possible to round the eyes, make their incision almond-shaped and, importantly, hide skin defects, for example, scars or scars. An arrow with shading eliminates some imperfections in the shape of the eyes, makes the look clear and open, and gives the face a well-groomed and fresh look. At the same time, the master should not proceed with the procedure if he understands that the arrow or shading will not suit the client.

The visual effect is reminiscent of decorative make-up "arrows + shadows" or. Drawing can be done with black, graphite or colored pigment. The tint range is selected individually in accordance with the desires and external data of the client. There are complex color combinations and transitions. But, considering this or that tint palette, the master needs to take into account that the selected tones will suit the client’s color type and harmoniously fit into the image, they will look good separately from the general make-up. And remember that natural tones are universal and allow you to achieve a natural tattoo. More saturated colors, characteristic of the evening make-up palette, will suit those women whose lifestyle involves the constant presence of cosmetics on their faces.

Expressive look and well-groomed look

Who suits the arrow with feathering? We all know that no one is perfect, and this procedure helps to hide individual congenital or acquired defects and correct various aesthetic problems.

• Asymmetry and correction of the shape of the eye . The feathered arrow visually improves the shape of the eyes - in the case when you need to hide an overhanging eyelid or make your eyes bigger. With the help of an arrow and shading, you can mask the lowered corners (“sad” look), too bulging pupils, a narrow cut or a deep set of eyes. With natural age-related changes (for example, the skin is covered with a network of wrinkles and has lost elasticity), it is quite difficult to draw a perfectly clear classic arrow. This is where the shading technique comes to the rescue. It softens the transition from coloring shade to skin color, opens the eyes and masks the primary signs of fading. After the procedure, a lifting effect is achieved: the eyelid is visually lifted, the eyes look younger. This will give confidence and harmony to the image.
• Make your eyes look brighter and more expressive. If the client has sparse or light eyelashes, after filling the space between the eyelashes with pigment, the eyelashes will appear thick, as if they were made up with voluminous mascara.
• Camouflage of scars and small scars, for example, due to surgical or plastic intervention.

Nuances of the procedure and features of the application technique

Even an experienced master should always pay attention to the following nuances:

• if the client has deep-set eyes, then in this procedure you need to use a technique with a denser shading line;
• for owners of bulging eyes, create a thick shading that will make the look deeper and slightly reduce the eyes;
• for girls with low-set eyebrows and slightly hanging eyelids, offer a thin line of shading;
• if the main request of your client is to make the look brighter and slightly enlarge the eyes, then your choice as a professional is a fuzzy and blurry eyeliner effect.

Most often, a permanent with shading as a single technique is chosen for processing the upper eyelid. There are several varieties of tattoo technique for arrows with shading.

• A solid feathered arrow is the simplest version of this technique. Continuous spraying along the entire contour of the eyelid with a smooth transition from dark to light and a slight accent on the outer corner of the eye is used for an almond-shaped eye. First, a dense dark line is applied along the growth of the eyelashes, and then the color is gently stretched for 1/5 century. The result looks very delicate and natural, creating a slight feeling of “make-up”.
• The "Banana" option (this code name comes from one of the main eyeshadow techniques in makeup) should be used if you need to slightly "stretch" the eyes. In this variety, only the outer corner is tinted with a coloring matter. The feathering goes beyond the edge of the eye and ends in a slightly curved tip. The oval unpainted part of the eyelid (hence the name) visually enlarges the eyes, and makes the look sincere and open.
• The "Loop" technique is another one that came from the classic make-up. This technique resembles Banana, but leaves an empty space inside, where in the future the client can apply shadows of any color. Using it, you need to draw a line along the ciliary contour and instead of bringing it out of the outer corner of the eye and getting a pointed arrow, round it towards the crease of the eyelid - you get a loop, which, after shading, helps to give expressiveness to the eyes. The area without pigment is more rounded, and the permanent does not extend much beyond the outer corner. Such a tattoo visually enlarges small eyes, corrects deep-set ones.
• Emphasis on the crease of the eyelid. The permanent resembles an overly wide arrow that goes around the eyelid along the crease. Visually corrects wrinkles, smoothes the effect of an impending eyelid.

Important: do not make a mistake with the shade!

Ideally, you should stick to naturalness and give preference to tones that do not contrast too much with the color type of the face. Excessively catchy elements that are relevant for a festive or themed make-up do not fit into everyday life and can quickly get bored by the client, and it will not be possible to get rid of them promptly. Soft, calm gamma focuses on natural beauty and will be an excellent basis for creating an attractive image, appropriate during the day at work or school, and at night - at a cocktail or club party.

The master can listen to the wishes of the client in the selection of the tonal palette, but it is better to take on this crucial moment. After all, you can quickly find the most successful option, in harmony with the eyes, hair and overall style of the client, thanks to extensive practical experience and constant work with pigments from various manufacturers.

Before the procedure, the shades must be “try on” to see how everything turns out in reality. This will allow you to timely make a correction or make the necessary amendments to the makeup sketch.
