Back in the spring, news from the catwalks told us that the era of Instagram divas with tons of makeup on their faces was coming to an end. The main trend of the season is naturalness in everything. That is, glowing healthy skin and an even complexion are in fashion. Only bright accents are allowed, but there is complete freedom in the design of these accents on the eyes and lips.
Here every makeup artist can give free rein to his imagination. Therefore, you need to get out the rather forgotten black pencil and eyeliner. and, in addition, not only black colors, fashionable eye makeup in the 2021 season also requires eyeliners of various colors and shades.
They are the ones who will help realize the hits of the season: massive arrows; the tips of the arrows on the eyes; eyeliner along the inner edge; accentuated lower eyelid; unobtrusively shaped eyebrows; highlighter under the eyes.
More arrows, black and colored!
Makeup with arrows in 2021 is an integral part of a fashionable look; they can be different: thick, short or long - half the eye. Also in trend is colored kajal along the edge of the lower eyelid mucosa. If you don't have kajal, you can use colored eyeliner or colored eyeliner. It is important to blend the color a little onto the lower eyelid so that the transition is smooth and the accent is better visible.
On a note
A pencil is the most convenient way to create arrows. A special marker will be an ideal assistant when creating thick art arrows.
To create “soft” arrows, it is better to use shadows, and for a more defined eyeliner, liquid eyeliner is the ideal option.
Eyeliner eye makeup has been popular among women for decades. And all because it allows you not only to add expressiveness to your look, but also to adjust the shape of your eyes. Therefore, when choosing the type and color of the arrows, fashionistas should first of all be guided by the individual characteristics of their appearance. And to make the image truly attractive and irresistible, you should learn how to draw these arrows correctly.
Among the main fashion trends of 2021, colored arrows made using one or several shades should be highlighted. Eyeliners using gradient and color block techniques look extremely stylish and original, so if you want to stand out from the crowd or be the brightest at a party, give preference to this type of makeup.
Arrows according to the shape of the eyes
A universal option is the classic shape of the arrows, which will complement any makeup, make the eyes more expressive and open the look.
Almond shaped eyes
Girls with almond-shaped eyes look great with arrows starting from the middle of the upper eyelid. In this case, the arrow should thicken towards the outer corner. Make the arrow longer, going beyond the outer corner of the eye. Select the lower eyelid partially, no more than a third. The inner corners can be “highlighted” a little with a highlighter.
Eyes with raised corners
The “sly” raised outer corner of the eye looks very flirtatious, so don’t try to “drop” your eyes down. Your ideal wings either follow the shape of your eyes and barely extend beyond the outer eyelid, or they extend in a straight line beyond the outer border, widening slightly.
Eyes with drooping corners
In order to visually lift the corners of the eyes, try winged eyeliner with long, clear ponytails directed towards the temples. Don't close your eyes. You can draw an arrow starting from the middle of the century. At the same time, never draw your lower eyelid according to its shape! It’s better to model it by “lowering” it a little so that the corner of the eye “raises”.
Round eyes
For this eye shape, try arrows with horizontal tails, which will visually elongate the shape.
Droopy eyes
For such eyes, you need wide arrows that will almost completely fill the visible part of the movable part of the upper eyelid. Draw the arrow with your eyes open so you can immediately understand what it will look like (otherwise it may be distorted).
Close-set eyes
Long arrows from the middle of the eye will help “increase” the distance. You can also add light shadows to the inner corners of the eyes, and use well-shaded dark shadows to outline the upper border of the moving eyelid (just don’t make it rounded). The same goes for shooters. Draw straight lines with a slight upward curve at the end.
Wide-set eyes
If the distance between the eyes exceeds the width of one eye, then it is a wide-set type. To visually reduce the distance, you need to line the entire upper eyelid and lower eyelid, starting from the middle of the eye. In this case, there is no need to draw the arrow beyond the outer corner.
The arrow should not be wide and long. The tip of the arrow should not be clear, it is better to shade it a little. You can also line the lower eyelid.
Small eyes
To make your eyes look bigger, draw a line of medium thickness, slightly away from the lash line. The line should be thin at the outer corner and then widen slightly towards the middle. Blend the space from the middle of the eye to the outer corner using a dark shade of eyeshadow.
Popular arrow options
There are many types of arrows that women use to emphasize their eyes. However, this summer experts highlight only a few options for arrows that fashionistas should take a closer look at.
Base
A neat short arrow perfectly emphasizes the eyelash growth line, increasing their thickness. If you additionally paint the interlash line with a black pencil, you will get incredibly beautiful and attractive makeup.
Double ended
This version of the arrow allows you to make the eyelashes visually thicker, and the look more playful and interesting.
Classical
This option can be a stylish addition to your makeup or act as the main accent. The classic is suitable for large eyes, small, narrow - in general, it is universal.
It is convenient to draw such lines with a pencil or eyeliner (a regular brush or “marker”). The trick is to create the same wing curve and length on both eyelids.
Just draw a tail, a strip along the eyelashes, and then combine them with each other, evenly thickening the arrow to the outer corner of the eye. This eyeliner makeup goes well with any shadows and can complement any look, both everyday and evening.
Wide
This option is suitable for those women who want to emphasize the contour and achieve the effect of “cat” eyes. The main thing in this case is not to forget about the basic rule - the larger the tail of the arrow, the longer the eyelashes should be. Therefore, very large arrows are often required to be supplemented with false eyelashes.
Half-hearted
This option is ideal for eyes that are close to each other. In this case, experts recommend highlighting the inner corner and starting to draw the arrow from the middle of the eyelid.
Arabic (Egyptian)
Such shooters have become a real hit in 2021. They fit perfectly into the bright makeup of fashionistas, making them stand out from the crowd.
Haute couture
These types of arrows are used mainly on catwalks. They fill almost the entire eyelid and look best when paired with false eyelashes. However, women should be careful with such a tandem, because with one glance they can slay you on the spot.
Trend No. 3: Fashionable makeup 2021 in nude style
Makeup for every day should be light and at the same time emphasize external beauty. If you have healthy skin, this makeup comes down to just adding a few accents.
Makeup for spring 2021 can come down to a moisturizing and nourishing lip balm, as well as highlighting the eyelashes with mascara. Lips can be decorated using matte lipstick with a translucent texture. Shining eyes combined with healthy skin and well-groomed lips look as natural as possible in fashionable makeup 2021.
Light, discreet and natural shades can also be found in summer 2021 makeup. The emphasis will be on perfect skin. You will need to forget about thick foundations. The effect of radiant skin from the inside can be achieved using a light base with reflective particles.
Fashionable arrows by color
This year, eye makeup allows not only a wide variety of eyeliner shapes, but also a riot of imagination in color and decorative design.
White arrows
This is a real hit of the season, especially if you make asymmetrical reverse arrows. When decorating the eyes with white arrows, to lengthen the eye, draw the arrow along the inner corner of the eye. It is also worth considering that white arrows look more impressive on a base of light brown eyeshadow. Or bright colors.
Colored arrows
Another trend for the 2021 season is arrows in bright shades. Juicy yellow, sky blue, thin and made with broad strokes, they can be either clearly defined or shaded. Colored arrows can be made with thin tips, or rounded, double, or combining several colors.
Colored arrows should be drawn only along the entire length of the eye. The technique for creating colored arrows is practically no different from the standard one. The only point worth paying attention to is that often bright eyeliners are not pigmented enough, which means that for a bright and clear arrow it is better to apply an additional layer.
If you don’t have a bright eyeliner, you can apply the shadows wet or dilute them with a fixing spray. Or you can even use lipstick.
Neon arrows
If colored eyeliner has already become your usual makeup look, then another new trend for you is neon. Makeup artists demonstrated many ideas for neon eye makeup: bright corner-arrows, round, without shading, smokey eyes, colored eyelashes, classic arrows along the lash line and arrow-arcs that “fly up” almost to the eyebrows - everything will be fashionable: both graphics and abstraction.
The most current shades: orange, red, green, pink, yellow and turquoise. Experiment with shapes and colors. Neon looks beneficial not only in the form of details or an accent, but also in the form of a cat-like arrow over the entire eyelid.
Double arrows
A double arrow will look best on an open eyelid; add accents in the form of shimmer shadows and sparkles. Glued-on bunches will complement the look.
Glitter arrows
For bold and extravagant girls, glitter makeup will be fashionable. At the same time, the brilliant accent is placed not only on the eyelids or lips, glitter is used “to the fullest.” The shimmering accent is placed on the hands.
This eye makeup is more suitable for a spectacular evening out. To prevent the glitter from falling off, you need to apply it to a glitter base. This will make your makeup last longer.
Fantasy arrows
As the name implies, such colored arrows do not fall under the classical canons of makeup, but are created creatively, as your imagination dictates. These can be arrows made using the ombre or gradient technique. That is, creating a smooth transition from one color to another. In this case, the arrows can be drawn in different shades of the same color or in completely different colors.
Fantasy arrows can also be made not in the classic version, but by drawing lines encircling the section of the eye. Or in the form of broad strokes, as if it was done with a brush. There are many options for a creative approach to creating arrows - there is complete scope for imagination.
