Colored arrows are definitely the brightest trend this fall. How to understand which ones suit you? And how to draw them correctly? Master class from the leading makeup artist M.A.C in Russia Ekaterina Ponomareva.

Blue thin hands from Kenzo, azure and very wide - from Dior, acidic - from Chanel. Makeup artists at fall-winter 2014/2015 fashion shows disassembled all shades color wheel... Which ones to choose for life?

Brown eyes: yellow or orange arrows

Chanel F / W 2014/15

Trainee Yana Karimova has brown eyes. According to makeup artist Katya Ponomareva, such eyes can be emphasized with blue, green and yellow arrows. The latter is undeservedly rarely exploited by girls, so it was decided to stop at it. By the way, yellow arrows are suitable for both blondes and brunettes - here eye color is more important than hair color and skin tone.

For Yana's makeup, Katya chose M.A.C. shade Chrome Yellow. To make her makeup look bright and long-lasting, she applied the eyeshadow with a wet method. Keep in mind: Colored eyeliners are often not pigmented enough, so sometimes they will need to be applied in several layers.

Katya uses a flat beveled brush N 263

Yana has a "heavy eyelid", so the eyeliner line should be thin. It is convenient to draw it with the same thin brush. In M.A.S. - this is No., and. Katya used a flat with a beveled tip №263 , but she's a make-up artist to draw perfect arrows with any device-)

To avoid the “comma” effect, the tip of the arrow should be short. Do not take him out of the eye.

Such eye makeup requires perfect (well, or close to ideal :) eyelashes.

Before applying mascara, it is better to curl them with Full Lash Curler Pliers.

Make-up mascara with colored arrows should be charcoal black. Katya used False Lashes ExtremeBlack.

But the lips are best left neutral. Any bright lipstick in combination with such arrows is already overkill. For Yana, a lipstick of a natural shade was chosen Creme d nude.

Final Result:

• foundation Face and Body Foundation, shade N1 + brush Duo Fiber Brush No. 187;
• corrector Mineralize Concealer;
• Powder Blush Buff + Powder / Blush Brush # 129 - to highlight the cheekbones.

Green eyes: purple arrows

Girls with green eyes, like Sveta Grishina, are suitable for purple, plum, bronze or Brown color eyeliner. The main rule is this: the stronger the color of the eyes contrasts with the color of the eyeliner, the brighter the eyes will appear.

The peculiarity of the Shining eyes is the slightly lowered corners and the so-called overhanging eyelid. In this case, it is recommended to make the eyeliner line thin and be sure to draw not only the upper, but also the lower eyelid.

And first, be sure to apply (flesh-colored shadows, regular powder or primer) - otherwise the skin sebum will "dissolve" the texture of the eyeliner and it will be imprinted on the upper eyelid. And of course, this way the eyeliner will fit better and last longer.

The main character of Sveta's makeup was chosen M.A. pencil with Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner in Designer Purple.

Katya showed how to draw arrows if you also have slightly lowered corners of your eyes. It turns out that the tail of the eyeliner on the upper eyelid does not need to be pulled up too much. On the contrary, it is drawn slightly lower than usual; then you need to bring the lower eyelid and connect the lines.

With an overhanging eyelid, you may get the feeling that the arrow is "eating up" all the free space. To avoid this and make her look more open, Katya additionally painted the fold with shadows. Blooming mad.

Finishing touches: black mascara Studio Sculpt Superblack Lash and creamy lip gloss Creemesheen Glass Partial To Pink.

The eyeliner line on the almond-shaped eyes can be any, Katya made it wide and with a bright, clearly defined tail:

To determine the direction of the tip of the arrow, imagine that you are drawing a line from the middle of the lower eyelid to the outer corner of the eye. This is the correct ascent angle.

The eastern arrow is notable for the fact that one is long, curved and slightly stretches the outer corner of the eye. This is a great way to enlarge the eyes and make them more almond-shaped. But keep in mind that such arrows in everyday life can look vulgar - this is a story for an evening or a themed holiday.

Double, ombre-style and bright geometric contours turned the models' makeup into a real work of art. Arm yourself with colored pencils and liners and create your own vibrant eye makeup by following today's tips.

How to apply

In the arsenal of tools for creating arrows for most brands, you will find many helpers - liners, liquid eyeliners, felt-tip pens, shadow pencils, pencils. Depending on what you choose, you will result in get different effects... For example, liners, felt-tip pens and liquid eyeliners paint rich, bright arrows, pencil shadows give a translucent shade. The contour pencil occupies a special place in this list, because it is versatile, it can create both bright and translucent arrows, depending on the intensity of application. Plus, if you want a subtle haze effect, you can always blend it with a brush.

How to match the shade of the arrows to your eye color

Out of the whole rainbow of colors, blue stands out, which is the most popular shade in makeup for the second season, it suits almost everyone.

How to draw double colored arrows

Geometry is on the minds of makeup artists this season, and double arrows are one of the simplest examples of geometric shapes in makeup. This is an interesting enough option for those who are afraid to experiment with bright colors... Double arrows suggest a combination of color and classic black or brown outline. There are two application options.

First option: a bright stripe is drawn over the traditional black line.

Second option: first, a colored arrow is drawn as wide as two arrows, and then the outline of the eyelashes of the upper eyelid is highlighted with a black liner. This is how the black arrow appears on top of the colored one. The “tails” of the arrows can be brought together or left parallel to each other.

If you do not want to create a geometric contour, draw a black arrow on the upper eyelid along the eyelash growth contour, and a colored arrow on the lower one. Or play with flowers: draw a purple outline on the upper eyelid, and green on the lower eyelid, or vice versa. The combination of colors can be any according to your taste and desire.

Ombre and color block colored arrows

If you are not afraid to experiment with bright colors and are ready for unusual color solutions, makeup artists offer you two options for interesting arrows - ombre and color block.

Ombre outline is created using shades from the same color palette, but different in intensity, for example, light green, green and dark green. The arrow should start with the lightest shade and end with the darkest one. This version of the contour will emphasize the beauty of the shade of the eyes, their depth and expressiveness.

Unlike ombre, color block arrows quite exotic - they can consist of several different colors... For example, white, pink, purple or gold, green and blue. But, as in the case of the ombre outline, the arrow should start with the lightest shade, the most dark color should be in the outer corner of the eye, and the remaining third act as a connecting link.

How to draw correctly

Colored arrows do not require as much clarity as black ones, so they are much easier to draw. But remember that colored arrows should only be drawn along the entire length of the eye. The technique for creating colored arrows is practically no different from the standard one. The only thing worth paying attention to is that often bright eyeliners are not sufficiently pigmented, which means that for a bright and clear line it is better to apply an additional layer.
