Close-set eyes: features and correction with makeup

Each woman is naturally rewarded with unique data. To imagine a world in which absolutely everyone is identical and similar to a single stereotyped ideal, you must admit, is simply scary. But it is very common for the fair sex to look for flaws among their external features, and even worry about them. Although it is not difficult to correct the appearance with the help of the competent use of cosmetics. The article will discuss such an individual facial feature as close-set eyes.

Before applying cosmetics, every woman should decide on her type and features of external features. Sometimes it is not quite easy to determine exactly whether the eye location is really close. The ideal parameter is the gap between the eyes, equal to the width of the eye itself. In close proximity, this distance is correspondingly less.

To determine your type, stand in front of a mirror and mentally try to draw two vertical lines from the corners of the eyes. This will be the width. The size of the bridge of the nose is determined by measuring the distance from the inner corners of the eye sockets. Compare these indicators visually. If the width of the bridge of the nose differs from the parameters of the eye contours in a smaller direction, this is a clear sign of closely spaced eyes.

Often, due to this feature, women's eyes look small in size. This is especially true for round eye contours. At the same time, the look seems to deepen and it seems that the person looks as if from under the brows.However, in the case of the correct selection of the makeup color scheme and knowledge of some of the secrets of its application with a similar facial feature, you can easily correct your appearance.

Next, you will find a step-by-step explanation of how to properly apply classic everyday and evening make-up.

To begin with, you should even out the complexion with foundation and powder.

After that, you can start applying shadows on the eyelids. First, dark shades are applied to the outer corners of the eyelids. Brush movements are neat and short, directed upwards. Thus, the eye contours will visually stretch to the outer edges.

Blend the applied shadow well. You can also use a soft pencil for the outer contours.

The next step is to apply shadows to the inner corners. The challenge here is to highlight them in tone. Thus, the edges will visually move slightly away from the bridge of the nose. For this area, choose the lightest shades of the shadows.

At the final stage, you need to make up your eyelashes and shape your eyebrows.

Apply a lighter base product to your upper lids. A beige or pale pink shade is best. From the middle of the eyelid to the outer corners, draw a line with a pencil along the base of the cilia.

The crease above the upper eyelid at the outer edge of the eye should also be darkened with eye shadow. Blend well the applied shadow and pencil line closer to the corners.

The final touch is the drawing of the arrow. It should be thin and graceful. A dark eyeliner is used to draw it.

However, you can do without it if, in your opinion, the makeup is already somewhat overloaded.

Since the main rule for proper makeup and eyeliner for close-set eyes is to darken the outer corners, arrows are often used to create an image of the owners of this type.

The so-called retro style is very popular and original. The emphasis on the eyes is further enhanced by the fact that the lips remain dim. With an eyeliner or a very thin pencil, you need to draw arrows at the outer contours. Long arrows will visually extend the eyes.

An additional effect will help to create a thicker coloring of the eyelashes on the outside. After applying the main layer of mascara, an additional layer is applied to the cilia at the outer corners of the eyes, which will darken this area.

Also, with the help of the arrow, you can correct the too rounded shape of the eye contour. To do this, you need to draw a clear arrow that will protrude about a centimeter beyond the edge of the eyelid. If everyday makeup is applied, then it is better not to make the arrows longer than 0.5 cm.

To use makeup correctly and apply makeup that is suitable for your type, you need to remember a few simple tips and tricks from professional makeup artists.

• Owners of close-set eyes should remember the most suitable corrective makeup scheme. It consists in the fact that the inner corners are lightened with shadows or a pencil, but the outer ones, on the contrary, are shaded. The lightening and darkening boundary should be selected individually. For example, the rounder the eyes, the longer the dark area should be. Since in this case, the goal will be the maximum narrowing and stretching of the eye contours to the outer edges.
• Dark eyeshadow or pencil should only be shaded near the outer corners. In the middle of the eyelid, the line should remain fairly thin.

• Black or dark eyeliner should not be continuous across the entire lid. This applies to both the lower and upper eyeliner.
• For extra emphasis, you can use false eyelashes or eyelash extensions at the outer edges of the eyelid.The cilia are attached approximately from the middle to the edge of the upper eyelid.

• Eyebrows play an important role in the visual perception of the gaze. For the closely spaced type, it is best to lengthen the outer ponytail of the eyebrows using a pencil drawing. At the bridge of the nose, the eyebrows should be made thinner. Light and light brown eyebrows do not need to be drawn with a black or very dark pencil.
• Cream eyeshadows are not very convenient to use. Many of them tend to roll into small lumps and make the tone of the eyelid uneven.
• Peach and turquoise shades should be applied in moderation. Applied too thickly, they can create the illusion of sick, tired, and puffy eyes.

You should also touch on the topic of the most suitable shades of shadows. The selection of the color scheme very much depends on the shade of the eyes themselves, as well as the size and shape of the contour.

• Under the green color of the iris shades of shadows close to copper and light brown are perfect. You can also emphasize the natural color of the eyes by using a small amount of green eyeshadow, but not too bright.
• For brown eyes Makeup should include dark brown, chocolate and light beige shades. Black eyeliner will make your look especially expressive. Classic blue and purple shades are also acceptable for brown-eyed girls and women.

• To eyes of cold shades (gray, blue) shadows of a similar cold spectrum should be selected. Shadows with a metallic sheen look good on the eyelids of blue-eyed and gray-eyed girls.
• For small, close-set eyes it is better to use more natural and light tones and not overdo it with eyeliner. Since excessive darkening of the eyelids will further reduce the eyes visually.

If you look very, very carefully, removing the effect of makeup mentally, you will notice that not a single celebrity is the owner of an absolutely perfect face. Individual characteristics obtained from nature are simply correctly emphasized and harmoniously corrected with the help of cosmetics. So, every girl and woman can study the rules of applying makeup for their type of face and use them when creating their own image. The result will be a beautiful appearance that will delight both yourself and those around you.
