How to draw arrows with eyeliner
Gel, felt-tip pen or classic – we know with which eyeliner you will draw the best arrows in your life.
It is impossible to imagine a seductive look without skillfully drawn cat arrows, they were the main weapon of geisha. Cosmetic brands offer us a wide variety of tools with which we can repeat even the most graphic arrows from the catwalks without much difficulty. We tested the most popular types of eyeliners and wrote an honest opinion about each.
Eyeliner The Color Eyeliner, 3INA, 550 rubles
The classic liquid eyeliner provides up to 12 hours of durability and is very easy to use. It is based on organic components: carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, which prevent dry skin, and the forming polymer film increases the durability of the product.
Nastya Obukhova, editor of the “Fashion” section:
Pros: 3INA eyeliner has a very rich color and amazing durability. Not only did she last all day and all night, but she also barely escaped. I managed to get rid of it only after cleansing with oil and gel for washing. Does not smudge, does not crumble, does not fade – in a word, the perfect eyeliner!
Cons: In my opinion, The Color Eyeliner from 3INA has a too thick sponge tip (yes, this is not a traditional brush). It will not work to draw very thin and graceful arrows.

Long-lasting eyeliner has a rich black shade for long-lasting wear. The felt-tip pen format is something between a classic eyeliner and a pencil. Thanks to the convenient applicator, the arrows are easy to draw, the felt-tip pen dries instantly on the eyes and does not get imprinted on the eyelids.
Alika Zhukova, beauty editor:
Pros: thanks to the fine tip of the felt-tip pen, the arrow is very thin, although if you like more intense, then with this tool it is easy to do this.
Cons: by the end of the day, the arrows were slightly smeared in the area of the inner corner, possibly due to the fact that I rubbed my eyes.
Gel eyeliner Inkstroke, Shiseido, 2050 rubles
The liner has an incredibly silky texture, which makes it very easy to apply to the skin and instantly provides a rich shade. It lays down evenly, does not leave lumps and does not smudge on the skin. The gel formula is resistant to moisture and sebum and does not fade throughout the day.
Elena Karlina, star editor:
Pros: the brush is super, I am convinced that everyone needs one! And especially if you say you can’t draw arrows. It costs nothing to draw straight lines. The eyeliner itself is gorgeous, in the first minutes it is corrected if suddenly the hand trembled, and then it sits tightly until you want to erase it. In general, if you want to shoot with your eyes on the beach, in the snow or rain, I highly recommend it.
Cons: I kept thinking, thinking, what to find fault with, but there is simply nothing.
Eyeliner pen Wing Liner, Pupa Milano, 730 rubles
The tapered eyeliner allows you to draw the perfect arrow along the lash line in one stroke in the outer corner of the eye. The water-based formula dries quickly for perfect coverage. Giorgio Forgani, the brand’s makeup artist, advises to apply the eyeliner from the inner corner of the eye according to its shape: place the applicator diagonally, starting from the outer corner of the eye.
Victoria Dudina, editor-in-chief:
Pros: the beveled corner helps you quickly and easily draw a line that is neat and intense in color. The arrows dry quickly and do not smear over the entire eye during the process of recreating them. At the end of the day, they are removed without effort. In my opinion, this is the best eyeliner I have ever had in my life.
Cons: arrows need correction throughout the day. However, a line that has lost its clarity can be easily corrected with a cotton swab.
Liquid eyeliner Long-wear Liquid Liner, Bobbi Brown, 2570 rubles
The eyeliner with a very fine brush creates a rich vibrant color and a glossy effect on the eyes. When dry, the eyeliner forms a stable elastic coating, thanks to which it does not wear off, does not crumble and retains its color throughout the day.
Anna Tok, editor of the He and She column:
Pros: the eyeliner was a real discovery for me – it is easy to use, does not smudge and lasted all day. The brush is not too thin, but, for me, just what you need.
Cons: requires careful handling, as it may leak out of the tube.
Gel liner for the eye contour Lasting Drama, Maybelline New York, 595 rubles
Gel eyeliner provides the perfect creation of arrows thanks to the formula with a high concentration of pigments, they are responsible for the durability of the product. The included double-sided applicator allows you to draw both arrows and smoky ice shading.
Olga Koval, photo editor:
Pros: the brush has two surfaces: wide and flat, the bristles are elastic, the arrows are smooth. The gel eyeliner is very persistent, during the day you can not worry that it will smear and rub off.
Cons: to wash off the eyeliner, you will have to use the makeup remover milk, the usual gel, alas, does not take it.
