Drawing perfect arrows is an asterisked task. The lines are uneven, asymmetrical, too thick or crooked, the eyeliner smudges, and you want to forget about eyeliner makeup altogether.
In fact, it's just a matter of technique and practice, makeup artists say. You also need to choose the right eyeliner. Experts told us how to learn how to make perfect arrows.
How to choose eyeliner
Perfect eyeliner is a combination of practice, skill, and the best eyeliner formula. Trial and error is usually accompanied by too many makeup remover wipes.
One of the determining factors to consider when choosing an eyeliner is the comfort of application. Does it fit comfortably in your hand and can the tip reach the desired angles and draw clear lines? Is there any tugging or pulling on the skin as the brush moves across it?
Pay attention to the following aspects:
- how it feels when it comes into contact with the skin;
- how the eyeliner looks after the first application;
- how long it stays on the skin, whether it smudges due to contact with sebum;
- specific ingredients of the formula: some may cause irritation or allergies;
- how the applicator works.
If you like sharp and thin arrows, you should choose liquid eyeliners with a thin marker applicator. This allows you to create the smoothest, most saturated, and clear lines, the thickness of which can be adjusted.
How to apply liquid eyeliner
With time and experience, you'll learn to draw flawlessly smooth, symmetrical lines in minutes. Makeup artists say one of their top tips is to forget about your wrists. Use your pinky for stabilization and let the applicator glide smoothly and evenly over your skin to avoid fluttering or smudging.
If you make a mistake, don't worry. Have a makeup remover handy and try again. Making mistakes will always be part of the process of learning something new, so why should using liquid eyeliner be any different? If you can't create the perfect arrowhead, you can correct it with a damp cloth or cotton swab dipped in makeup remover.
Or you can try to mask your mistake with concealer for a quick result. This will save you from having to remove all your makeup and start from scratch.
