How To Draw A Eyelash
Drawing a foolproof eyelash can be a tricky task, even for the most experienced makeup artist. It often feels like a daunting undertaking, with artists stressing about the shape and symmetry of their creations. But with the right approach, drawing a perfect eyelash is actually quite simple! In this article, we provide you with a four step guide on how to master the art of drawing a brilliant eyelash.
1. Preparing the Canvas
The first and foremost step while drawing a perfect eyelash is to prepare your canvas. If you haven’t already, make sure to apply a primer and foundation before drawing the eyelash. This will create an even base that the eyelash will adhere to better. Additionally, a primer will improve the lifespan of the eyelash and help to avoid creasing or cracking.
2. Applying the Eyeliner
The next step is to apply the eyeliner. Start from the inner corner of the eye and draw a thin, subtle line that gradually thickens towards the end. Make sure to evenly draw this line as it will define the shape of the eyelashes. Also, make sure to draw closer to the lash line rather than the eyelid, as this will make the eyelash appear more natural.
3. Applying the Mascara
Once the liner is applied, it’s time to apply the mascara. Start from the base of the lash and carefully apply mascara, making sure not to clump the lashes together. Then, switch to a smaller wand and lightly apply mascara to the tips of the lashes to give them a natural curled look.
4. Drawing the Eyelash
Finally, it’s time to draw the eyelash. Using an angled brush, dip it in the black eyelash paint and carefully draw individual lashes on top of the mascara. Make sure to draw them wispy and curve them lightly to give them a more natural look. For a luxe finish, add some glitter or shimmer to the middle.
5. Finalizing the Look
The last step before open eyes is to finalise the look. Gently separate the lashes with a lash comb and remove any excess mascara. Then, apply a generous coating of mascara to the lower lashes and finally, set the look with a light layer of translucent powder.
6. Enhancing the Look
If you’re looking to take the look up a notch, you can apply some false eyelashes along the lash line. Make sure to measure the lashes carefully and cut them to fit the eye before applying them. Use a small amount of glue to secure the lashes and blend them in with the drawn lashes for a natural finish.
7.Perfecting the Look
For a truly flawless eyelash, work on perfecting the look. You can do this by elongating the tail or creating more defined curves with a thin brush. Don’t forget to set the lashes with a loose powder and use a lash brush to add more volume and definition.
8.Highlighting and Refining
The final step is to highlight and refine the look. Use a light-reflecting highlighting product like a cream or powder eyeshadow to the lower tip of the lashes. This will add a glamorous finish that will instantly open up the eyes. Finally, use an eyelash curler to enhance the shape of the lashes and voila, you’re all set!
