Description
Each nationality has its own characteristics, which lie in appearance. Almond shaped eyes are often found in girls who have oriental roots. This form is able to give the look attractive sexuality and mystery. However, for such a cut, you should correctly select a make-up that will emphasize the naturalness of such an appearance. Almond shaped eyes are the most attractive look that girls and women around the globe dream of.
Such eyes look attractive on the fair sex with a Greek profile. However, it is quite rare to find a girl of Slavic appearance who will have almond-shaped eyes.
The eyes are similar in appearance to water droplets or almonds. They are characterized by narrowed and oblong shapes along with rounded inner corners. The outer part of the eye is pointed. In most cases, the outer corner will be raised. There are practically no folds on the upper eyelid, so there is a large area for creativity for cosmetics.
To determine the shape more accurately, you need to look at the distance that is present between the eyes.Normally set - these are the eyes, the distance between which is one eye. If the given segment is longer, such a gaze is considered to be far-set. At a shorter distance, the eyes are called close-set.
The corners of the eye should be at the same level. If the outer corner is located below the inner one, such eyes are usually called falling. The opposite situation speaks of an oriental and upward view. And also the eyes can differ in bulge, deep set, overhanging upper eyelids.
These nuances should be taken into account when choosing makeup, so that decorative cosmetics emphasize the dignity of appearance.
What make-up is right?
When choosing a make-up for your eyes, you should consider their color and shape. Almond-shaped eyes are the most common form. The eyes are elongated, sharp points are located along the edges. The outer corner rises upward. Makeup artists call this form graceful, which is confirmed by girls from eastern countries. The almond-shaped look is considered unpretentious, as it will suit almost any type of makeup.
However, there are rules that describe how to color your eyes correctly to emphasize their natural attractiveness and sexuality.
- Arrows. The key benefit of the almond shape is its graceful curve. Therefore, you will need to focus on the arrows, the types of which are full of variety. Makeup artists recommend using the option where the arrow is drawn along the contour of the eyelashes. This solution allows you to emphasize the expressiveness of the bend. For such a make-up, you will need to adhere to clear lines, strict graphics. When working with eyeliner, it is necessary to make a long "tail", as a short arrow visually narrows the eye.
- The use of two shades. If you don't want to use arrows, you can pay attention to the smokey ice technique. This makeup requires only two colors. The lighter shade should be placed in the middle and inner corner of the eye, and the dark shade should be placed near the outer edge. The color should "stretch" towards the temples to make the eyes even more expressive.
- Work with the upper eyelid only. This point is a basic rule. In case of almond forms, it is unacceptable to apply makeup on the lower eyelid. Makeup artists advise against using pencils, liquid liners as eyeliners and applying shadows to the lower part of the eyes. There is no need to try to accentuate the lower lashes, as the outer corners of the eyes should be directed upward.
- Landing. The choice of makeup depends on the fit of the eyes. Smoky make-up types should be chosen for close or far-set eyes. Dark shadows should be placed near the center of the eyelid. Deep or close-set eyes will require the use of a shimmery shadow palette along with arrows equipped with a long tail.
- Working with eyebrows. The curvature of the eyebrows must follow the shape of the eyes. It is not allowed to create a straight shape, since the rule "on the edge" applies to the almond shape. The eyebrows should have an elegant curve that matches the contour of the eyes.
- Eyelashes also allows you to emphasize the expressiveness of the almond-shaped look. For this, hairs with a peculiar styling are suitable, in which the eyelashes are tilted towards the outer corner. To create the necessary bias, you need mascara. Curved arrows or cat-eye style make-up can be used with eyelashes.

The area near the eyebrows will be the lightest. Each transition must be carefully shaded.
- When creating a daytime make-up, only one layer of mascara from the extension series is used. For evening make-ups, you can use two layers. Tufts of false eyelashes decorated with rhinestones or sequins will look good on the outside of the eyes.

Correction of deficiencies
By choosing the right makeup, you can deal with the imperfections that almond-shaped eyes may have. Some women are trying to fight the overhanging eyelids. However, this is not considered a problem, but a feature. Just look at celebrities who use cosmetics to demonstrate the beauty of their eyes. When applying makeup on eyes with overhanging eyelids, do not hide the overhang, but raise the outer corners of the eyes. In most cases, matte shadows from a light palette are used.
You should choose natural tones, placing them throughout the eyelid.
Then you need to draw a fold with cold brown shadows. The procedure should be performed in front of a mirror. Shading the shadows is done up towards the outer corners. As a result of these measures, you can get "wide open" eyes. Then you can proceed to the standard actions, which consist in creating a highlight under the eyebrow, applying the lightest shade to the inner corner, and the darkest one to the outer part of the movable eyelids.
Most makeup artists believe that the arrows should not be used, but they can be used in such a way that the overhang is not emphasized, but hidden.
Makeup should be chosen carefully for a deep-set look, as deep-set eyes do not look dark with shadows. Better to use a light palette or shimmery products. Almond-shaped eyes will gain expressiveness if you apply one layer of mascara from the lengthening series to the eyelashes. The choice of eyeliner should be approached responsibly. Dark shades can visually reduce the eyes, which is undesirable for a deep-set shape.
If the almond eyes are too small, correction can be used to create a visual effect that makes the eyes look large. You will need to properly shape the eyebrows, create a symmetrical shape and optimal line thickness. Use a soft, dark pencil to line the eyelid. Large eyes can be safely summed up with a thick black pencil. Small eyes can be brought in only 1/3 of the outer eyelid, resorting to soft shading.
With the help of smooth lines, curled eyelashes, you can visually enlarge the look and make it more open.
Every girl who has eyes with this shape should be aware that she has a naturally beautiful look. Therefore, you should not try to emphasize it globally. The oriental look has always attracted attention with its mystery, so vulgarity will make it unpleasant and rude. In order not to spoil the almond-shaped eyes, you should familiarize yourself with the basic rules.
- Too much paint should not be applied. Ink should be used in a minimal amount. If the eyelashes themselves are long, it is better to refuse to use mascara from the lengthening series.
- The eyebrows should have a thin, feminine shape with curves.Thick eyebrows should be plucked, otherwise they will add extra years and give the face a stern expression.
- Choose a dark color for your eyebrows. In some cases, you can resort to highlighting with a gray or chocolate pencil.

- with the help of gray shadows, the eyelids are highlighted due to several strokes near the outer and inner edges, while the lower border should be dark;
- arrows are applied from the central part to the outer edge on the upper eyelid; it is impossible to draw a line along the entire line of the eyes, as this will lead to a visual decrease in the eyes;

Smokey ice is considered a decent option for almond eyes. For him, you should select a brown or black color scheme. A bright make-up with exotic flowers will also look attractive. To create, you will need to use two shades: light and dark.

The dark color scheme will be located on the outer corners and in the crease of the upper eyelids.
All transitions must be carefully shaded, creating smooth transitions. The outer corners of the eyes should be shaped like the arrows.
