Stencils exist in paper and plastic for a variety of types of arrows – thin, thick, "cat's eyes". The main disadvantage of paper – suitability for single use only. Lack of plastic templates – they get very dirty, so be careful not to apply the stencil to the eyelid with the used side. Otherwise, the makeup can hopelessly deteriorate, and everything will have to start over.
Working with stencils for arrows is extremely simple: apply to the eyelid – and fill in the empty space.

3. Use shadows as a base.If your makeup includes not only arrows, but also staining the eyelids with shadows, then cheat a little.
First, paint the eyelid with a neutral light shade, then draw lines in place of the arrows with a darker or just a contrasting color. Then, in place of these lines, draw arrows with eyeliner – it will be much easier to do this, since you will notice roughness and unevenness even at the stage of staining with shadows and then you can bring everything to an ideal state.

Try not to overdo it and erase the excess, and if you still overdo it, don't get upset anyway – eyeliner will finish everything again and fix it.
5. The final life hack – for the very, very lazy!Yes, there is a tool even simpler than even stencil drawing. Why draw arrows when you can just glue them on? And we are not joking now.
