Arrows for the impending century: which ones are suitable and how to draw?

A drooping eyelid is a common problem among women. Rather, the representatives of the fair sex themselves consider this a problem, and from an anatomical point of view, the overhanging eyelid is simply a feature of the structure of the eyes. If a woman nevertheless wants to get rid of this, in her opinion, a flaw, then the correct makeup will help to solve the problem.

The hanging eyelid is a “heavy” upper eyelid, lowered onto the movable eyelid, which creates the appearance of a kind of skin “hood”. According to some aesthetes, this feature gives the woman a slightly sad, languid and slightly mysterious look, but the bearers themselves do not think so.

Some ladies prefer to take drastic measures to eliminate this problem., for example, resort to surgical intervention. However, this is not the most affordable and safe option. In addition, the result may not live up to expectations - remember at least the famous Renee Zellweger, who after the operation lost her famous brand squint, and with it the individual charm.

Other women choose a safer solution to the problem - they change their lifestyle, do special exercises and exercises for the eyes, perform massage, apply ointments and creams, prepare masks and compresses according to folk recipes. However, these methods are not suitable for eliminating a flaw if it is congenital.

The third group of girls prefers, in general, not to eliminate this feature, they know the special tricks and subtleties of proper makeup, which can turn this seemingly disadvantage into an advantage.

A hanging eyelid may occur as a result of some factors or be an innate feature. Often the causes are hereditary predisposition, age, a sharp loss of excess weight, nationality, allergies, improper lifestyle or edema.

Despite the aesthetic “zest” that is given to the woman’s face by drooping eyelids, this feature also has disadvantages in the difficulty of applying makeup:

• cosmetic shadows stick weakly to the skin and slide into the crease of the eyelid;
• it’s difficult to draw neat lines, their ends may “break off”, the eyeliner may print;
• traces of mascara may remain on the upper eyelid.

Makeup artists advise women with heavy upper eyelids to apply thick arrows that fill the entire visible surface of the moving eyelid.

This is the main recommendation of professionals, but there are other options for various types and shapes of eyes:

• basic short arrow - gives eyelashes visual density;
• with two tails - to create the impression of a “cunning” look;
• classic - is a feature that thickens in the direction from the inner corner to the outer; it may be the only element of the cosmetic design of a woman's face;

• half arrow - recommended for eyes close to each other, running from the center of the ciliary line;
• wide arrow - is proposed for the formation of a "cat's eye";
• Arabic arrow - usually applied for stage makeup or photo shoots.

It is possible to avoid the “broken” line when implementing makeup on eyes with overhanging eyelids, focusing on the individual type of appearance. It is worth considering the reason for which you need to create an image. If it is a daytime everyday type, it is recommended to draw thin arrows. When designing an expressive image for a party or a rigorous evening event, lines with wide, visually increasing eyes are more suitable. And also the evening version may contain Egyptian arrows, known to us from the photo of Cleopatra. For subtle creative natures, it is recommended to draw arrow-wings.

When applying makeup, you must clearly adhere to the characteristic features of your appearance. For each type, there are specific varieties of design arrows. The application technique and even cosmetic materials may also vary.

For a narrowed eye shape with overhanging eyelids, a longer arrow is required. Upward from the line is shading directed towards the eyelashes. According to experts, the use of liquid eyeliner will provoke a visual narrowing of the already narrowed eyes, and therefore it is necessary to choose a pencil or shadow for work.

The fold of the eye is covered with dark shadows, lightened with a pale-colored cosmetic product, the moving eyelid and the area near the eyebrow.

The lower eyelid is distinguished by dark colors, draw a pencil line and carry out shading. To round the eyes, it is recommended to blend in the center.

In this situation, the shading of dark shadows over the moving eyelid is used to increase. Then an arrow of the same shape is drawn on the movable eyelid, in the outer corner both features are connected.

Ladies with an Asian type of appearance more often than others are carriers of this feature. In their case, lightening the heavy look will allow the correction of the shape of the eyebrows. As for the arrows, the following options are offered here: you can draw a moving eyelid in a light tone, and cover the outer corner and lower eyelid with dark color; you can also draw a crease on the upper eyelid, this will create the impression of expressive large eyes.

Big eyes are always a dignity of appearance, but with improper makeup they can seem not only too round, but also convex. The hanging eyelid will aggravate the situation. To apply the arrow, a broad line should be drawn in retrostyle and emphasize the lower eyelid and mucous membrane. This trick will visually limit and slightly stretch the shape of the eyes.

In this situation, it is required to abandon the expression of the lower eyelid with an arrow, concentrating on the upper. A good option, often used among famous women with this type of appearance, is to raise the tip, made in a vintage style, from the outside corner, along with this lower eyelid can be emphasized with a pale radiance of light tones, apply mascara with the effect of lengthening for eyelashes.

In each case, the angle of the arrow and the location of the bend are separately selected. In recent years, a mini-zigzag variant, that is, broken lines, has been popular among top models. Such makeup involves pronounced arrows that attract attention and light shadows that soften the accent. This is a good solution for girls with impending centuries.

Step-by-step technology for applying competent arrows on the eyes with overhanging eyelids is not so simple. It is better to start preparing for the creation of the image in advance, so that if an error is made, there is time for correction. Wash your hands, sit down or stand in a comfortable position so that your hands do not shake.

The technique consists of several stages.

• We lay the foundation for ever. Loose powder is also suitable as this composition.
• We mark the future arrow. It is designed to extend the line of the lower eyelid. The angle of the eye then rises, the gaze becomes more alive and wide.
• Makeup should be done with eyes open. This is how it is really possible to make the desired trait specifically in the area that will be visible in the open eye.
• We connect the tip of the line with the middle region of the eye and gently draw the line to the pupil.
• Using a pencil, paint over the gap between the marked lines.
• Extend the line to the inner corner. We pay attention to the arrow narrowing from the outer to the inner corner.
• Gently draw a line on the lower eyelid to the position of the beginning of the iris.
• To complete the image from above on top of the eyelids, apply shadows of light tones, tint eyelashes and twist slightly.

Hanging eyelids may be accompanied by close proximity of the eyes.

Then the technique of applying arrows will be as follows:

• retreating a small distance from the inner corner, draw a line;
• 1/3 of the length along the line of ciliary growth, draw a stroke along the upper eyelid;
• it is allowed to draw a similar feature on the lower eyelid - such a technology can expand the eyes;
• we draw a thin arrow from the center of the upper eyelid and gradually thicken it, while the expansion should turn out to be almost invisible.

There are techniques for other features of the eye in combination with an impending eyelid.

Below is the daily makeup option for Asian-type faces:

• we cover a mobile shade with a light shade;
• cover the outer corner with dark tones;
• draw an arrow along the upper eyelid, expand the line from the middle to the outer corner, but do not protrude beyond the borders;
• if everyday makeup, then just one layer of mascara is enough.

If an overhanging eyelid is an age feature, then the technique changes slightly. When creating a Smokey Ice makeup, you should abandon the rich black color, preferring brown tones for warm color types, gray for cold ones. When highlighting the area under the eyebrow, you should look at less pale colors. It is better not to draw a thin line under the eyebrow. The mucous membrane of the lower eyelid is recommended to be emphasized with a white pencil. A good technique is to apply an unconventional eyeliner color and draw attention to such unusual arrows.

An effective procedure that can permanently relieve a woman of a bored skin "hood" is eyelid tattoo. Usually for this type of face tattoo is used with a slight feathering. First of all, the master draws the contour of the eye, and then draws up a smooth transition in bright colors. This visually raises the eyelid, makes the borders softer and more natural.

Often overhanging eyelids is a problem for ladies of age. Tattooing can save a woman not only from a “tired” look, but also from other age-related problems, for example, masking small wrinkles. The procedure creates the appearance of makeup made with shadows and shaded with a pencil. It saves time, since independent morning makeup is no longer required, but has contraindications, characterized by pain. In case of an impending eyelid problem, it is recommended to combine tattooing of the eyelids and eyebrows.

To create the perfect make-up for a client with her upper eyelids lowered, makeup artists resort to various tricks and tricks.

• Pink and red shades - forbidden colors when decorating the eyes! These tones are not suitable, as they give the appearance of inflamed swollen eyes, which already seem heavy due to a lowered eyelid.
• Visually making the eyes wider will help drawing a false fold with brown shadows in combination with light tones applied under the eyebrow.
• For drawing arrows, shadows and a pencil should be used, as the eyeliner line is quickly smeared with a lowered eyelid. If you can not do without eyeliner, then you need to choose a tool with a waterproof effect.
• During makeup, the eyes must be open, otherwise the future result cannot be predicted.
• To smoothly draw a tail, designed to extend the lower eyelid, you can resort to using a plastic card. It should be attached to the lower eyelashes and draw a line of the desired length in the direction from the eye. A plastic card will help create a perfectly even line.

• When drawing a ponytail, you do not need to make it very long on the face with overhanging eyelids, but nevertheless there should be a small tail.
• It is necessary to avoid combining the eyeliner line of the lower part of the eye with the arrow, this creates the appearance of even more lowered eyelids.
• It is important not to allow the drawing of arrows of a disproportionate thickness. If in the central part the line is thicker and tapers toward the edge, then the eyes will appear distorted.
• Feather the line drawn with a pencil, it is better to use a special applicator. To apply arrows with shadows, you should purchase a small dense brush with a beveled edge.
• When selecting shadows, it is better to give preference to liquid structures, but not water-based.
• When creating an image, it is better, in general, to refuse to apply mascara to the lower eyelashes, and use it only when painting the upper ones.

Among the famous Hollywood stars, many actresses are owners of eyes with overhanging centuries. Thanks to skillful makeup, these famous women are the dream of millions of men.

For example, Blake Lively never uses pearlescent shadows on the upper eyelid in makeup and does not use heavy eyeliner. Basically, the actress in the photo can be seen with three-dimensional makeup, which is based on highlighting the lower portion of the inner corner with a slight unusual shading of the outer corners along the upper eyelid. This technique visually enlarges the eye. In addition, the actress refused a light smoky makeup with matte shadows.

Emma Stone is also not visible with a dense bright eyeliner around her eyes; she prefers neat, restrained arrows combined with shades of neutral tones.

Eva Mendes is another owner of eyes with overhanging eyelids. In her case, the makeup looks neat, since here the emphasis is on the eyeliner along the bottom edge. Stylists pay special attention to the eyebrows of the actress, and also use shades of neutral color.

Camille Belle never leaves the eyelids colorless, since in her case the lack of overhanging eyelids is especially noticeable. She prefers to use smoky makeup and lengthen eyelashes - with these tricks, the actress avoids the visual omission of the eyelid.

Women with looks like Rachel Bilson must have a special make-up art. In her case, overhanging eyelids are combined with lowered corners. In her image, we will not see thin eyebrows and arrows protruding beyond the boundaries of the outline of the eye. The most preferred option is to design the eyes with a matte liner and cover the eyelids with modest shadows without the effect of visual weighting.

Thus, the impending eyelid is not a serious drawback, it is the same feature of the structure of the face as a hollow on the cheek or a high forehead, it introduces languor, mystery and even sexuality into the female look. But if a woman still does not feel confident, being endowed with this “highlight”, then correctly selected and completed makeup will help to solve the problem.
