For competent makeup, it is recommended to make one emphasis: either on the eyes or on the lips. Girls whom nature has not awarded with “bottomless eyes” are better off choosing the first option. Moreover, with the help of simple make-up techniques you can achieve a very effective result - expressive eyes wide open. And what was considered a flaw will be a virtue.

Features

Decorative cosmetics provides great opportunities in terms of correction of appearance. But, as often happens, the inept use of these funds can not only not decorate, but even make invisible those virtues that are from nature. So, when the eyes are small, the main thing is not to make them even smaller. In this case, it is best to experiment with light shades of shadows. Dark ones can add the effect of the impending century, which will make the look heavier.

The outline clearly outlined in black pencil is, as they say, not a topic. And without that, small eyes can be turned into two narrow slits. For our purpose, a white pencil that is refreshing and revealing is best suited. If you still don’t want to part with black, then you can let, for example, only the upper eyelid from the outer edge. By the way, this will help to visually slightly open your eyes to the sides when they are close set.

So, a few recommendations on how to make beautiful, but small eyes even more attractive.

What do you need?

To do makeup for small eyes, it is worth using several means.

  • Shadows - This is the main tool in order to visually enlarge the eyes.It is better to choose a palette of natural shades. It is necessary to take into account the color of the eyes, the choice of shadows in tone will be a mistake, they simply merge. It is necessary to achieve the exact opposite result - to give the look depth and expressiveness. Therefore, it is better to play in contrast. The tenderness of blue eyes is emphasized by beige shades, the warmth of brown - blue-green, the depth of gray - brown-pink, and the originality of emerald green shades of purple can perfectly complement the originality of the emerald. Mother of pearl, golden, shiny eye shadow makeup for small eyes may be appropriate, but in its evening version.
  • Corrector. It can be used when there are imperfections on the skin that I would like to hide: spots, pimples, moles. The color is selected according to what needs to be masked.
  • Concealer It is applied to the lower eyelids to remove dark circles, if they are, of course. It is recommended to choose a half tone lighter than the main skin tone. This tool will help to avoid the impression of tired eyes.
  • Highlighter. A slightly damp shine under the eyebrows will add radiance to the look.
  • Eyeliner. The eyeliner should be light, it is better to use a white pencil.
  • Mascara. You can choose black, as fluffy curled eyelashes will open your eyes even more and visually increase your eyes. But if you wish, you can use brown or gray, especially for girls with fair skin. Colored, blue or green mascara will be appropriate only at New Year's or other costume parties with emphasized decorativeness and theatricality.

How to choose and apply make-up?

A step-by-step guide will help you make up for small eyes so that they look larger.

  • For any make-up, preparation is important. First you need to cleanse the skin with a product suitable for a particular type of face.
  • If the upper eyelid looks wider, then the eyes will seem larger, so pay attention to eyebrows. You can increase the distance to them by simply plucking the lower hairs with tweezers. But to bring to the state of a thin thread is also not necessary. Eyebrows should look natural. You can paint them with natural shades or a pencil, simulating hairs, and fix the result with a gel.
  • Now need mask minor imperfections with a corrector and even out skin tone tonal foundation, distributing it throughout the face with a sponge or brush.

If the right tool was not at hand, you can do it with your own fingers.

  • Concealer "erased" circles under the eyes and a refreshing look.
  • The main tool for obtaining the desired effect is a play of shadows. A lighter tone is applied to the upper movable eyelid. The crease is highlighted slightly dark and the outer corner of the eye stands out. Everything needs to be carefully shaded.
  • Highlighter is applied under the eyebrows with a thin strip., which will help visually lift them and open their eyes more. A little of the same means - to the inner corner.
  • Now you need to draw the contours. Clear dark lines are undesirable, so you should take a white pencil, especially since this is one of the trends of the season. It should be applied almost over the mucosa. On the lower eyelid, one can also capture the eyelash growth line.
  • Beautiful eyelashes - this is one of the important accents. If they are long and curved, great. If not (unfortunately, this is often the case), you can curl them using special forceps (curler). Mascara must be chosen with the appropriate properties. By the way, with low overhanging eyebrows, an extension effect may not be needed. It should be painted in two layers and then comb your eyelashes well. They should be fluffy, not resembling the legs of a spider.

If the eyelashes do not look good enough, false eyelashes are acceptable. But here, however, as in everything else, a sense of proportion is important.

Every day makeup and make-up for special occasions and parties have their own nuances.

Daily

Makeup artists, as a rule, advocate naturalness, especially in daytime makeup. But this does not mean that he does not need to pay attention. It often happens like this: in the morning they got up, washed, put lipstick on the lips, mascara touched - all done. When in a hurry, this approach may be acceptable. But in order to look beautiful and attractive every day, everyday make-up needs to be done in stages almost as carefully as the evening one.

For example, the popular smoky-ais technique, which consists in blending shadows from a more saturated shade to light around the eyelid, was originally intended for evening makeup. But at the same time, the look “moves” so spectacularly that the stylists developed a daily version of the “smoky” makeup, for the creation of which the following steps should be performed:

  • shades of medium natural shade should be applied to the upper eyelid, creating a slight haze;
  • instead of a bright eyeliner, you should use a contour of dark shadows;
  • the inner corner of the eye should be highlighted with bright shadows;
  • Finally, dye your eyelashes with brown mascara.

For daytime makeup, it is recommended to choose products with a light delicate texture and light shades.

Evening

When you need to look especially impressive, make-up smokey ice is what you need. But in the case of small eyes, you have to step back a little from the classic version. Clear black outlines are not recommended. Lower eyelashes do not need to be tinted, as this will make the look heavy. You can use the technique proposed above, but the shadows should choose brighter. It is worth adding a little sparkle or pearl to the inner corner of the eye and under the eyebrows.

If there is a desire, it is permissible to make a small arrow, but you need to start it from about the middle of the century and bring it a little up to the corner of the eye.

When doing this makeup, you need to be especially careful when blending, so that the light haze conceived does not turn into a dirty stain.

Wedding

Makeup for this special event should also be special. The bride is always the most beautiful of all, but this does not mean at all that her make-up is the brightest. It is intended to emphasize beauty, but at the same time tenderness and modesty. Therefore, flashy shades are inappropriate, especially if a traditional white dress is chosen.

    You should pay attention to the following makeup option:

    • shades of beige shades are applied to the upper eyelid, pinkish can be added;
    • on top, from the center to the inner corner, you need to apply silver;
    • the fold is highlighted in shadows about 2 tones darker than the main;
    • shadows emphasize the lower eyelid along the line of eyelash growth;
    • white shadows, with a slight pearlescent effect, should be applied in the area under the eyebrow and in the inner corner;
    • the arrow is not drawn, but rather outlined in black or dark brown pencil;
    • The final accent is fluffy eyelashes painted with black mascara.

    Useful Tips

    First of all, when choosing shades, it is necessary to focus not only on eye color, but also on the color of hair and skin. The bright palette that adorns the dark-skinned brunette is likely to make the blonde white woman vulgar.

    To further accentuate the eyes, lipstick should choose natural light shades or even limit yourself to colorless lip gloss.

    About age makeup

    It often happens with age that the upper eyelid drops, making the eyes even smaller. The recommendations will be the same, with some exceptions. It is better to choose light shades of cold colors. Warm colors can add the impression of a tired face, which does not decorate at all. Naive pink colors are categorically unacceptable.

    Bright eyeliner is better not to use. The pencil can be shaded, giving the contours smooth and soft. But makeup should not look blurry, so the line should be traced.Flickering and shine may look inappropriate even in the evening make-up, so it is better to refuse such funds.

    Very refreshing face lipstick red shades. Even if the main emphasis is on the eyes, it is worth taking a dull, light texture.

    Skin care

    The area around the eyes is very sensitive. And if she lacks care, the appearing edema and dark circles are sometimes not able to hide any makeup. Therefore, it will be useful to use special creams with vitamin C for this zone, perform lymphatic drainage massage in the evenings with tapping finger movements, which helps outflow of excess fluid and improves blood circulation. And also remember that stress and lack of sleep are the main enemies of beautiful eyes.
