How to apply?

Proper application of makeup will help to cope with the problem of small eyes, especially for eye makeup, but do not forget about the general rules of make-up of the face, these are also very important points. In the video tutorial at the bottom of the article, you can get acquainted with the stages of creating such a make-up.

The basis

Of course, according to tradition, we start with the basics, regardless of the size and color of the eyes. Of course, you can console yourself with the fact that dark circles under the eyes will visually increase them, but this is not at all the effect that we need. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to apply a corrector on the area under the eyes, and also do not forget about small pimples and problem areas. A lighter shade of the corrector than the shade of the foundation will help us create the visual effect of the glasses, and make the eyes just a little bit bigger. The foundation should match the color of your skin, the blush should not be too bright, just to emphasize the sculptural face.

Brows

Well! When will we move on to eye makeup? Eyebrows something to do with it? Very much so. Very thick eyebrows, which are now in fashion, visually reduce the eyes. From low-set eyebrows, too, you will not achieve an increasing effect, they only make the look heavier. You need to lift the eyebrow line, removing excess hairs from below. This will increase the space between the eyebrow and the eye - hence the eyes will become a little larger. The main thing - do not make eyebrow threads, it has long gone out of fashion.

Shadows

Well, finally got to the shadows. If you have small brown eyes, light shades will be your salvation. But at the beginning of the article it was said that this is the number one enemy for enlarged eyes? Not certainly in that way. You can not use only light shades, they will make the look tired and tearful, you should also avoid very light and warm shades. You can choose light purple, beige, peach, light pink, sand shade of shadows. Pearlescent shadows will help to open the eyes. Particular attention should be paid to the arrows. Line your eyes with a medium brown pencil, blend it thoroughly. There is a little secret - to visually enlarge small eyes - tint the lower eyelid, behind the lash line, with a white pencil (in the photo above you can see how it looks, the line on the lower eyelid of an Asian girl is tinted with a white pencil). Apply your regular pencil under the lash line. It is also recommended to apply shadows on the lower eyelid a shade darker than those on the upper eyelid.

You can use mascara of any color, everything will suit brown eyes, although black mascara will make the look somewhat heavier. But, there is a way out of this situation. If you have small eyes, but long and thick eyelashes, twist them with tweezers, this will visually make your eyes look bigger. If nature has deprived you of eyelashes, it doesn’t matter either. Feel free to go to a cosmetics store and buy fake long and thick eyelashes. The open look is a great effect when zoomed in.

Lips

The emphasis on the lips can distract from your eyes, so feel free to use bright and saturated colors of lipstick, especially for brown eyes this lipstick is just right. If you are doing a full-fledged make-up to enlarge your eyes, choose lipstick in muted tones, a light lip gloss with a shimmer.

Sadly, only one girl in a thousand can say with her head held high: "I am completely satisfied with my appearance." Even if, according to the people around them, girls have simply excellent data, they will still find a reason for dissatisfaction with themselves. First of all, it is easiest to find fault with the face, and it is either thin lips, or a large nose, or, most often, small eyes. But even if you really have small and deep-set eyes, in modern cosmetology, in particular make-up, there are many tips and methods that, if followed, will remove all the flaws and emphasize the dignity of your face.

In order to visually reduce the nose, make lips fuller, eyebrows more even and graceful, and eyes more expressive and attractive, you need to know a small number of little tricks with which you can do makeup no worse than in expensive salons. In order for the eyes to acquire exactly the size and shape that you dreamed of, you just need to stock up: eyeliner, pencil, shadows and mascara, which betrays volume.

1. Brows. Most likely, all women know that eyebrows should have a neat shape, and some of their hairs should not stick out in different directions. Girls with small and deep-set eyes need to remember that their eyebrows should be located at the highest point of their growth, as this will visually enlarge the eyes. To make the eyebrows as neat and beautiful as possible, and not leave thin threads instead of eyebrows, you need to carefully and slowly remove excess hairs and only at the bottom of the eyebrows. Try to match the shape of the eyebrows with the shape of the eyes, then the image will be harmonious and perfect. And one more thing, with the help of light shadows, you can visually raise the eyebrow line, and even more and better “open your eyes”.
2. Dark circles under the eyes. All spots, dark circles, rashes or any other defects in the eye area visually make the eyes even smaller. In these cases, masking agents will be salvation. You can use skin tones, but for the best result, be sure to take a pink or flesh corrector. With their help, you can easily correct the complexion, and even draw dark circles under the eyes.
3. The right combination of shadows. The first thing you need to know is that if you want to increase the size of the eyes, then at least two colors of shadows should be present in the makeup. As a rule, lighter shades are applied completely to the moving eyelid, under the very eyebrows. It is also necessary to lighten the corners of the eyes near the bridge of the nose as much as possible, this will contribute to the expressiveness and piercing look. Dark shadows, each girl can already choose for herself, for her image and the time of day for which she needs to do makeup. But, as a rule, in daytime makeup we use lighter shades, and in the evening, even coal-black shadows can already be used. First of all, it is necessary to apply shadows along the lash line, both above and below, but not further than the pupil, and the outer corner of the eye must be emphasized. Do not miss one more moment, you need to draw a line of shadows over the crease of the eye socket. And the last thing to do when applying shadows is to blend them well in the direction of the temples.
4. Pointing clear arrows. First of all, the line of arrows should not be catchy and thick, its task is only to emphasize the eyes a little naturally and neatly. The arrow gradually starting from the outer corner of the eyes should narrow towards the middle, and disappear altogether near the iris. The end of the arrows must be made short, and the other should never be drawn to the inner corners of the eyes, because this will certainly lead to a decrease in the eyes, and not to their increase. The outer corners of the eyes are well shaded, creating a shading effect.
5. "Water Line" To create even more beautiful and big eyes, apply not a dark, but a white pencil on the inner region of the lower eyelid, it is also called the “water line”, due to the fact that it is the mucous membrane of the eye. Such an application of a white pencil will surely create a “mirage” of large eyes. Indeed, thanks to the white color, which seems to merge with the white of the eyes, their size increases significantly, they acquire shine, and the whole image becomes natural and natural.
6. Inner corners of the eyes. Never forget that the corners of the eyes near the bridge of the nose should always, always be painted only in light shades, mother-of-pearl is even better. After all, it is mother-of-pearl shades that create the impression of living and shining eyes.
7. Eyelash curlers. A very important point, which many people forget, if you curl your eyelashes with tweezers, then this procedure will open your eyes as much as possible, make them even bigger, and your look more expressive. If you do not have this cosmetic accessory, then our advice is to purchase it and use it every time before applying mascara.
8. Eyelashes. It has long been no secret to anyone that long and voluminous eyelashes give the look depth, beauty, expressiveness, and significantly increase the size of the eyes. Of course, there are girls who have too short eyelashes, and the main problem here is that no matter how much they are painted, they will not grow out of it. But there is no need to despair, because in such cases false eyelashes come to the rescue, only they should not be continuous, but in the form of small bunches, and be superimposed evenly, one after another. Applying these eyelashes is easy and does not take much time. It is necessary to squeeze out cosmetic glue on your hand, take a bunch of false cilia with tweezers, dip it in glue, and put it on your eyelid. You need to do this as close to your eyelashes as possible, while holding them for 25-30 seconds. The only thing to consider is that the cilia will need to be applied, starting from the outer corner, and gradually moving towards the middle of the eye. That's all, this will be the final touch in creating large and attractive eyes.

Now, knowing the basic rules and tricks of applying cosmetics, you can make your look expressive, deep and attractive. Also, you can easily make yourself a professional make-up no worse than in expensive salons.

Almost all types of make-up differ in that they are suitable for large eyes, but it is important for some females to know how to do makeup for small eyelids. A small eyelid often makes it problematic to use the classic methods and options for designing the eyes, and it is almost impossible to find special information on applying cosmetics to them. Meanwhile, there are a lot of girls with such a feature in appearance, and all of them will be interested to know what is more suitable in their case. The main thing you need to tune in to is that small eyelids are no worse than voluminous ones, and with the skillful use of decorative cosmetics, no one will even pay attention to this feature of the eyes.

In fact, not a problem, but a feature of the structure of the eyes is a small eyelid, the makeup of which is not fundamentally different from, but, nevertheless, has important features and nuances. You need to start shaping the eyes, framed by small eyelids, in the same way as any other - clean and moisturize the skin, preparing it for applying decorative cosmetics. Everyone selects creams, foams, mousses individually, here you can give only one piece of advice - do not use products that are not suitable for the skin type and age of the woman. Another important point is that the skin of the eyelids must be handled gently and carefully; when applying funds, it should not be strongly rubbed and stretched so as not to harm the eyes.

But the preparation of the eyelids for makeup does not end there, since you still need to create a uniform skin tone, so that the overall look of the make-up will look more harmonious. To do this, it is better to use a fast-absorbing concealer that ideally hides all minor skin defects in the form of redness, wrinkles, and the like. On top of the corrector or foundation, the skin is covered with powder, which is also processed without fail and eyelashes, for better application of mascara on them. Such a base for makeup, in addition, will increase the life expectancy of the latter.

Get to the point: working with staining a small eyelid

Making out a small eyelid, makeup should begin with the eyebrows - it is important to give this part of the face the correct shape, removing excess hairs and laying the rest in a straight line. To color the eyebrows, you can use soft contour pencils, or even better, make them tattoo, which will save you from everyday care about them.

Shadows for small eyelids must be selected with special foresight, taking into account the fact that they have to stay on a small area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe skin and therefore the most persistent means are needed. In makeup for small eyelids, it is advisable to use shadows that are suitable for the color type, which are combined with the color of the eyes and hair, skin tone and other points. For evening make-up, brighter shades are suitable, and in the daytime version, only light colors should be used. The procedure for coloring small eyelids has a standard course: first, their moving part and the area under the eyebrows are treated with the base, lightest shade from the range selected for makeup, the darkest of the shadows are superimposed along the crease of the eye, and the intermediate shade must be applied to the transition line, which will facilitate shading of colors .

Dark shadows make the already small eyelids even smaller, so it is better to avoid smokey ice makeup, it is more suitable for. But with a strong desire, you can try to perform smoky makeup, but you need to do this in advance, and not before leaving the house directly. Dark gray shadows and eyeliner in this case should be well shaded, and all lines should merge into a single shade. It would be best to use the “corner” makeup technique.

A small eyelid makeup has a classic finish - applying mascara to the eyelashes, and blush on the cheeks. The use of lipstick is a matter of taste, but according to the rules of make-up, you cannot highlight both the eye area and the lips at the same time. So, since we have highlighted the eyes, the lips only need to be slightly tinted, and it is even better to use a light and delicate lip gloss to complete the overall make-up.

Not all girls can boast of big expressive eyes. There are nationalities for which wide-open eyes are not typical at all, such as the Slavs have. For example, Kalmyks mostly have small eyes, but with a beautiful slanting cut. In the photo in magazines and in video presentations of cosmetics, all models seem to be big-eyed, although by nature they may not be so. The canons of beauty dictate their ideals: the hair should be thick, the eyes should be large, the waist should be thin, and the neck should be long. And what to do in such a case, lovely girls, whom nature has not rewarded with saucer eyes? We will teach you how to do makeup for small eyes to visually expand them. Read tips, see photos and training videos.

Small eyes can be visually enlarged with the right tones of cosmetics.

The size of the blue eyes visually differs upwards from the dark ones, although they may actually be the same. The thing is that light always seems more dark.

You will find many videos on the topic of enlargement and makeup of blue and dark eyes, among them there are very sensible ones from famous makeup artists. First, study the proportions of the face in the mirror. Perhaps your eyes only seem small because you have wide cheekbones and temples? If this is indeed the case, then first of all you need to tone the side parts of the face with different shades of the palette, making it a little narrower. Carefully even out the skin tone so that transitions are not visible.

Now it's time for the eyebrows. They need to be given a classic shape so that the bend coincides with a straight line that extends from the wing of the nose through the outer line of the iris, and the eyebrow ends on a straight line from the wing of the nose through the outer edge of the eye, as in the photo of our models. Why are we talking about eyebrows? But because improperly shaped eyebrows can reduce the eyes and plant them visually closer than they really are. If you slightly shift the bend of the eyebrows to the bridge of the nose, then the eyes will appear smaller. See eyebrow shaping tutorials for different types. So, the eyebrows are framed. Now let's move on to makeup.

The beauty of the eyes is unique and individual, but, unfortunately, improperly selected makeup can nullify this beauty. Makeup can be chosen under the eyes with different features. So, for example, if by nature you have not very expressive and small eyes, the use of a certain makeup technique will help correct this deficiency and show the individuality of your eyes. Makeup for small eyes can be done using modern cosmetics and application techniques.

The main rule in makeup for small eyes is to maintain balance in the application of cosmetics. Remember that very bright colors or, conversely, very pale ones will not give the desired result.

Features of makeup for small eyes

So, skillfully selected makeup is not only a technique for applying, taking into account the individual characteristics of the eyes, but also a successful color scheme. In the latter case, brown eyes have advantages, because despite their shape, almost any shade will suit them. And yet, in makeup, there are general rules for small eyes of any color.

As already mentioned, the first guarantee of the correct make up is shades to match the color of the eyes. For the base color, you should always choose natural light tones that will contrast with the eyes. Shades of purple are much better for this purpose. But due to its optical effect, mother-of-pearl shadows visually expand the eyes. They are recommended not to be worn on the upper fixed eyelid.

Makeup for small blue eyes is best done in shades of brown, since shadows in the color palette with eyes are not desirable. The little ones prefer purple shades.

One of the main mistakes when applying makeup for small eyes is the use of shadows in the same color scheme as the eyes. In addition, very bright makeup can create the effect of deep-set eyes, which will make them look even smaller.

To make the eyes wider, and the look more expressive, it is necessary to draw them correctly. So, it is recommended to bring only the outer corners of the eye. The line should decrease towards the end and go up slightly. Do not line your eyes with a black pencil, it is better to choose gray, brown or blue.

Eyelashes for small eyes should be lush and long. If the mascara glues the cilia together, they must be combed. Eyebrows should also be taken care of, giving them the correct shape with a soft arch.

Day and evening makeup for small eyes

The ideal daytime makeup for small eyes, like any other, should start with the skin around the eyes, eliminating all imperfections with the corrector for the skin of the face and around the eyes.

Visually make the eyes larger will help increase the distance between the eyebrow and the movable eyelid. To do this, remove excess hairs from the bottom of the eyebrow. However, do not overdo it - turn your eyebrows into thin threads. Remember, they should look more natural.

Daytime makeup for small eyes is preferable to perform in light shades. Shadows should be applied with a brush upwards on the moving eyelid, and dark shadows on the crease. To visually refresh the face and make the eyes wider, apply light shades to the eye area under the eyebrows. The corners of the eyes from the outside must be lined with a pencil (for light eyes, gray or blue, for dark eyes, with a brown pencil), and from the inside, lighten with a white pencil.

According to all the laws of make-up, evening should be made in brighter and more catchy colors, however, in the case of small eyes, such makeup should not be oversaturated with dark shades.

Evening makeup for small eyes begins with applying light-colored shadows to the upper eyelid area. It is advisable to apply shadows with a brush, not an applicator. So they lie more evenly on the skin. On the part of the eyelid that is motionless, you need to apply mother-of-pearl shadows of golden color, and slightly above the outer corner of the eye - chocolate shadows and blend. Gold shadows must be applied to the outer part of the moving eyelid. Starting from the middle of the upper eyelid, draw a thin line with a brown pencil along the contour of the eye, lifting it slightly up. A thin white pencil should lighten the lower eyelid.
