Makeup for narrow eyes: video
The eyes are the most attractive and mysterious part of a woman’s face. Narrow eyes also have their own uniqueness, but they can be made visually larger and even more expressive with the help of the right makeup.
What is contraindicated in makeup for narrow eyes
When doing makeup for narrow eyes, it is highly undesirable to use black. This is especially true for eyeliner, pencil and mascara. An excessive amount of mascara on the eyelashes will visually make the eyes narrower. If you are not experienced enough with eyeliner, it is best not to use it, as you can turn your eyes into very narrow slits. Therefore, it is better not to use arrows for narrow eyes at all, especially black ones.
Makeup for narrow eyes: a choice of eyeshadows
For owners of narrow eyes, it is advisable to abandon dark shadows and use light colors. For brown-eyed women, professional stylists recommend doing makeup using green, brown, pink colors, as well as noble shades of precious metals.
For green and gray narrow eyes, shades of blue, lilac, gray and brown are best. Blue and pink should be used sparingly and in small amounts, as they dull eyes and give them a somewhat tired look.
Applying makeup correctly for narrow eyes
Start doing your makeup the classic way. Apply base foundation, concealer and foundation to your face for an even skin tone. Apply a small amount of powder, thereby setting the tone. Then you need to create a foundation tone in front of your eyes. To do this, apply light, shiny shadows, pearlescent or white, to the moving eyelid, and blend them thoroughly.
Recommendations on how to make makeup for narrow eyes, photos and videos of professional makeup artists will allow you to easily navigate with the correct selection of shadows. It is better to use shadows of the same color palette: dark and light tones. For example, for green and brown eyes, dark and light green shades are perfect.
For green eyes, dark shades of the lower eyelid are undesirable.
Apply the shadow exclusively to the movable eyelid. Divide it visually into two halves. Paint the outer side with dark shadows, and the inner corner of the eye with light ones. Blend the border carefully so that there is no too sharp contrast transition. If you wish, you can also use the eyeshadow for the lower eyelid. It is necessary to grind them thoroughly so that the line turns out to be fuzzy, as if smoky. Use dark shadows only on the outer corner of the eye, not going all the way down to the middle.
The look will become more expressive if you apply a dark brown pencil, tracing it along the contour of eyelash growth. This line needs to be shaded properly so that it is barely noticeable. Otherwise, instead of beautiful eyes, you can get the effect of squinting small eyes. The contour is very expressive, and therefore should not be abused in daytime makeup, using it in the evening version.
Brown or black mascara is applied to the eyelashes, slightly curled with tweezers. Curling will make your eyes look wider and more open, especially if you naturally have straight lashes. In this case, you should not apply several layers of mascara; one fairly dense layer will be enough, which will paint over the entire length evenly.
