Makeup for Eyes - Bringing out Small Eyes
How often do you look at babies and think of how magnificent their eyes are? They're beautifully large and expressive and make grown ups weak with a single glance. News Flash! This knee bowing power is not the prime property of babies. Your eyes also have that potential and here's how to make the most of them.
If you have small eyes, essentially you want to bring the attention to them first so that they appear bigger and more attractive. Choose eye makeup colours that are lighter like pastels, with some shimmery aspect to them or that are pearlescent. The formula should also be satiny and very blendable.
Shaping the Eye
Take the palest shade and sweep lightly over the entire mobile and fixed lids.
On the mobile lid, pat on the medium shade. Ensure that you do not pass the crease and leave the inner eye area by the tear duct clear.
Blend well where the two shades meet.
Apply a taupe colour or a different colour to the crease lightly.
Blend some more so that this third colour appears only as an impression and not as a statement.
Adding Points of Light
Take a shimmery shadow with a small brush and carefully dot it on the inner tear duct area. This would brighten up the eyes and make them appear bigger too.
Take that same shimmery shadow and pat it just under the arch of the brow. This shade here would lift the eyes.
Take the first shade and pat gently on the centre of mobile eyelid, blending well with the surrounding colours.
These points of light would draw wanted attention to the eyes.
Opening the Eye
On the water line use a flesh or vanilla coloured eye pencil. This gives the eye a bigger appearance.
Repeat the same tactic on the inner upper lash line. This may be a little difficult to accomplish initially so if you're having trouble, apply extra product to the waterline then blink hard. This should cause the eyeliner to be transferred to the upper waterline.
Defining the Eye
Apply a thin line of eyeliner to the upper lash line. Mark the line from the lachrymal area and extend a little way past on both ends of the eye. Liquid liner works best for this as there is little smudging.
Smudge the lightest eye shadow shade on the outer lash line and then smudge the taupe colour just under it, lightly blending the two.
Apply a thin line just on the outer lower lash line. Meet the corners of the eyeliner on the upper lash line.
Brightening the Eye
The last steps are for the lashes.
Curl the lashes close to the roots.
Apply two coats of lengthening mascara on the top and bottom lashes or false eyelashes that are slightly longer than your natural ones.
What big beautiful eyes you have!
