Makeup for small eyes: basic rules. Video
When performing makeup, women often prefer to accentuate the eyes to emphasize the expressiveness of the look and attract the attention of men. Correctly selected cosmetics will help not only create an elegant look, but also correct imperfections. Small eyes, it will make it bigger, more expressive and more attractive.
First of all, you need to work with the skin of the eyelids. Dark circles and puffiness can make already small eyes look even smaller. Use concealer to even out the skin tone and lighten it a little if necessary. If you have fine expression lines, mask them with a reflective corrector. Already after applying the base of the make-up, you will notice a visual effect: the eyes will appear a little larger.
If the skin of the eyelids is very swollen, apply a compress with a decoction of chamomile or green tea before applying makeup. This will help brighten the skin, soothe it, and reduce swelling.
Owners of small eyes need to choose the right shadows. Cosmetics of dark shades in such cases are completely unsuitable, since they only enhance the adverse effect, making the eyes even smaller. On the contrary, the best option would be light shadows, preferably with a pearlescent or glossy sheen. It is desirable that the cosmetics differ from the shade of the iris. For example, when performing makeup for small brown eyes, it is advisable to use lilac, blue, silver shades. For blue eyes, peach, beige, cream tones are suitable. Experiment and look for the options that are right for you.
Another taboo for girls with small eyes is dark eyeliner. The contour should be thin, barely noticeable, drawn as close as possible to the lash line and always light. Breaking this simple rule will only make your eyes look smaller.
How to make small eyes big
To “open” your eyes, you need to properly apply cosmetics. Apply some light shadows on the inner corner of the eye and on the area under the eyebrows. Then on the movable eyelid, apply cosmetics a few shades darker. Apply the darkest shadows to the outer corner of the eye. Then, to enhance the effect, draw a soft glitter pencil across the upper and lower eyelids.
Mascara plays a very important role in creating beautiful makeup for small eyes. Long fluffy eyelashes make the eyes look much more attractive and expressive. To achieve the desired effect, first twist them slightly with special forceps – this will help to visually enlarge the eyes. Then paint over the lashes with mascara that increases length and volume. Cosmetics should be applied in two layers, carefully “combing” the hairs and removing lumps that can ruin the makeup.
