6 Makeup Tips To Keep in Mind for Small Eyes

Says who that you’d need to smear your eyes with plenty of white eye shadow to make them look big? Yes, that could be one option, but there are other ways to use shadow or pencil and doll up the eyes- large and nice. Whites make the eyes look big for sure, they open the eyes and gives you the ‘doe-eyed’ look too; however, let’s try something new, shall we?

# Bold brows

Quite in vogue at the moment and super chic to flaunt as well- the thick expressive eyebrows; are a rage across the globe, and low on maintenance too. The brows have to be trimmed well and kept in place at all times – helps with facial complimenting while shaping is on. In doing so, the thick brows would maximize the eye area space- creating an illusion of largeness!

# Placement

Focus on placement to make the eyes look large and big. When applying liner or shadow to the lids, check on the crease extension – you would have to go all the way to the extension for the max effect. This helps accentuate the eye space around and also helps make the eyes look big.

# Choose the right eyeliner

It all depends on which eyeliner you’d be using and applying- we leave that to you. With the help of an intense dark pencil or eyeliner, you could make the eyes look large. Experimentation is the name of the game here- doll up only the lower or the upper lash and with different colours that too. Use kohl to rim the lower lash and a lighter shade for the upper lash.

# Mix and match

When using two different shades for the eyes; aim at making the eyes stand out. However, don’t use very dark colours; up and down. Lighter colours are preferred and they compliment any shade you choose to apply thereafter. Use lighter shades to compliment the skin tone and to make the eyes look large.

# Even distribution

While placement is the focus for eye shadow application, the right colours will sure help make the eyes pop out. However, here is a better way to make the eyes look big- place the eye shadow concentration, bang in the middle of the lash line. Since the middle is the widest, it would place more emphasis on making the eyes look wider than what they naturally are.

# Cooler tones

Blues and yellows help accentuate the ‘whites’ of our eyes- making the eyes look bright and big. Experiment with the bright colours or cool tones and use a dark pencil to line the eyes- helps make the eyes look heavy and big.
