Large, expressive eyes have always been considered one of the main signs of female beauty. But with the right make-up for small eyes, they will look no less bright and expressive.
There is an erroneous opinion that small eyes can be made visually more by using a black pencil, but this is not so. In fact, dark colors and stroke make the eyes look even smaller. The apparent increase in the size of the eye can be achieved through a number of techniques and small tricks.
Basic principles of makeup for small eyes
To create a beautiful make-up for small eyes, you need to consider their shape, color, how eyebrows and eyelashes look, and many other nuances. However, there are simple rules that need to be taken into account in any case.
- Light shadows visually increase the eyes, give them a bulge.
- Shadows, applied in the form of a bird's wing at the outer edge of the eye, visually extend it, which is important in makeup for small round eyes.
- Bruises and bags under the eyes make them seem less, because such problems need to be cleaned (with the help of cold compresses) and masked with a tonal cream.
- Long eyelashes visually increase the eyes, so you need to use lengthening mascara and twist the eyelashes up. In addition, it is necessary to stain eyelashes not only on the upper, but also in the lower eyelid. Color mascara, as in the daytime and in the evening make-up for small eyes, is not recommended.
- Broad and thick eyebrows need to be adjusted, making them thin, with a smooth curve.
- Thick black eyeliner, makeup in the style of "cat's eye" and " tiki ice " for small eyes are not suitable. A romantic haze that makes big eyes expressive, small eyes just absorb. A dark arrow drawn to the inner corner of the eye will make it seem even smaller.
Contour pencil for small eyes
As already mentioned, a black eyeliner is best not to use or take very thin. Stop on softer shades - they should match the color of the shadows that you plan to use. The contour should be done very carefully, slightly receding from the line of growth of the eyelashes, which will visually enlarge the eye. The remaining line is then stained with a white or beige pencil.
With make-up for small narrow eyes, it is necessary to draw an arrow from the middle of the upper eyelid to the edge of the eye, gradually reducing the thickness of the line, and to the corner of the eye, reducing it to none. For round eyes, the opposite line should be bent slightly upward, beyond the real outline of the eye.
Eyeshadow
When selecting shadows, it is also recommended to avoid too dark shades. You can use gray and dark brown tones above the crease of the upper eyelid, but by no means black. In everyday make-up for small eyes, shadows are best applied in two colors: lighter on the inner edge of the eye, darker on the outer. Another subtlety - the shadows should contrast with the color of the iris, then the eyes look more expressive.
In addition, mother-of-pearl shades also visually increase the eyes, make them more prominent, but can also emphasize wrinkles, dryness and other skin defects. So, in the presence of wrinkles in the corners of the eye, it is better to choose matte shadows.
Visually increase the small brown eyes will help makeup using green or purple shadows, and for small blue eyes it is better to use brown shades. A large number of shades are suitable for green eyes, in particular warm brown tones. But in make-up for small green eyes, to make them seem bigger, it is recommended to use purple shadows.
