How to do makeup for small eyes?

For a competent make-up, it is recommended to make one emphasis: either on the eyes or on the lips. For girls whom nature has not awarded with "bottomless eyes", it is better to choose the first option. Moreover, with the help of simple make-up techniques, you can achieve a very effective result - expressive wide-open eyes. And what was considered a disadvantage will become a virtue.

Decorative cosmetics provides great opportunities in terms of appearance correction. But, as often happens, the inept use of these means can not only not beautify, but even make invisible those advantages that are by 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 lighter shades of shadows. Dark ones can add the effect of an overhanging eyelid, which will make the look heavier.

The contour clearly outlined in black pencil, as they say, is out of topic. Already small eyes can be turned into two narrow slits. For our purpose, a white pencil is better suited, refreshing and opening the eye. If, nevertheless, you do not want to part with the black color, then you can bring, for example, only the upper eyelid from the outer edge. By the way, this will help to visually open your eyes a little to the sides when they are close-set.

So, here are some recommendations on how to make beautiful but small eyes even more attractive.

To do makeup for small eyes, there are several tools to use.

• Shadows - This is the main tool in order to visually enlarge the eyes. It is better to choose a palette in natural shades.It is necessary to take into account the color of the eyes, the choice of shadows to match will be a mistake, they will 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 will be emphasized by beige shades, the warmth of brown - blue-green, the depth of gray - brown-pink, and the originality of emerald is perfectly set off by violet-lilac tones. Pearlescent, golden, shiny eyeshadows in 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 you would like to hide: spots, pimples, moles. The color is chosen according to what needs to be masked.
• Concealer applied to the area of ​​the lower eyelids to remove dark circles, if there are any. It is recommended to choose one half tone lighter than the main skin tone. This remedy will help to avoid the appearance of tired eyes.

• Highlighter. A damp sheen under the eyebrows will add a shine to the look.
• Eyeliner pencil. The eyeliner should be light, it is better to use a white pencil.
• Mascara. You can also choose black, as the fluffy curled eyelashes will open your eyes even more and visually enlarge the eyes. But if you wish, you can use brown or gray, especially for girls with fair skin. Colored, blue or green mascara will only be appropriate for New Year's or other costume parties with emphasized decorativeness and theatricality.

Here's a step-by-step guide to make small eyes appear larger.

• Preparation is important for any make-up. First, you need to cleanse your skin with a product suitable for your particular face type.
• If the upper eyelid looks wider, the eyes will appear larger, so it is worth paying attention to the eyebrows. You can increase the distance to them by simply plucking the lower hairs with tweezers. But it is also not necessary to bring it to the state of a thin thread. The brows should look natural. You can paint them with shadows of a natural shade or with a pencil, imitating hairs, and fix the result with gel.
• Now you need mask minor imperfections with a concealer and even out skin tone foundation, spreading it over the entire face with a sponge or brush.

• Concealer "erases" circles under the eyes and the look is refreshed.
• The main tool for obtaining the desired effect is the play of shadows. A lighter tone is applied to the upper movable eyelid. The fold is slightly emphasized in dark, and the outer corner of the eye is highlighted. Everything needs to be gently shaded.
• Apply a highlighter under the eyebrows, which will help to visually raise them and open their eyes more. A little of the same means - on the inner corner.
• Now you need to draw the contours. Clear dark lines are undesirable, so it is worth taking a white pencil, especially since this is one of the trends of the season. It should be applied almost on the mucous membrane. On the lower eyelid, you can also capture the lash line.

• Beautiful eyelashes are one of the important accents... If they are long and curved, great. If not (unfortunately, this is more often the case), you can curl them using special forceps (curler). Mascara should be chosen with appropriate properties. By the way, with low overhanging eyebrows, the lengthening effect may not be needed. It should be painted in two layers and after that, thoroughly comb the eyelashes. They should be fluffy and not spider-like.

Makeup for every day and make-up for special occasions and parties have their own nuances.

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

For example, the popular smokey eye technique, which consists of blending the eyeshadow from a more intense shade to a lighter one around the eyelid, was originally intended for evening makeup. But at the same time, the look "is presented" so effectively that stylists have developed a daytime version of "smoky" make-up, 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, use a contour of dark shadows;
• the inner corner of the eye should be highlighted with light shadows;
• in conclusion, you should paint the eyelashes with brown mascara.

When you need to look especially impressive, the Smoky Eyes make-up is what you need. But in the case of small eyes, you will have to deviate slightly from the classic version. Sharp black outlines are not recommended. The lower lashes do not need to be painted over, as this will make the look heavy. The technique suggested above can be used, but the shadows should be brighter. It is worth adding a little glitter or mother-of-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 eyelid and bring it up slightly behind the corner of the eye.

Makeup for this special occasion needs to be special too. 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, you can add pinkish ones;
• on top, from the center to the inner corner, you need to apply silver;
• the fold is highlighted with shadows about 2 tones darker than the main ones;
• with shadows, the lower eyelid is emphasized along the line of growth of the eyelashes;
• white shadows, can be 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 is outlined with a black or dark brown pencil;
• the final accent is the fluffy eyelashes painted with black mascara.

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

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

It is better not to use bright eyeliner. The pencil can be shaded, giving the contours smoothness and softness. But the makeup shouldn't look smudged, so the line should be visible. Shimmer and shine can look out of place even in an evening make-up, so it is better to refuse such funds.

The area around the eyes is very sensitive. And if she lacks care, the emerging edema and dark circles are sometimes unable to hide any makeup. Therefore, it will be useful to use special creams with vitamin C for this area, perform lymphatic drainage massage in the evenings by tapping finger movements, which helps outflow of excess fluid and improves blood circulation. It should also be remembered that stress and lack of sleep are the main enemies of beautiful eyes.

• Day makeup for a brown-haired woman with brown eyes looks gentle and beautiful.

• Makeup for green eyes gives the image a mystery.

• For a blonde with blue eyes, the play of shadows is perfect.

• Makeup for gray eyes requires a clear contour around the eyes.
