All women are individual, but no one is perfect. And if you consider too small eyes to be your disadvantage, then our article is for you. We will teach you how to paint small eyes to make them appear larger and reveal the nuances of specific makeup.

The correct approach to correcting problem areas of appearance is a whole science, consisting of a lot of subtleties that need to be known and applied in practice.

How to dye small eyes to make them appear bigger

Proper eye makeup can save your face even after a sleepless night or in a painful condition, which means you definitely need to learn it! Bring small eyes closer to perfect shape It is possible by applying the following basic rules in practice:

1. The correct eyebrow shape is very important. You don't want your face to look like you're crying or overly surprised. For the first time, it is recommended to shape your eyebrows with the participation of a professional cosmetologist, and then maintain and correct it yourself.

Remember: the extended tip of the eyebrow visually opens up the look, and unplucked hairs above the upper eyelid make it heavier and even visually narrow it. To avoid pain, first stretch the skin. As for the color of the eyebrows, according to the canons of makeup, they should match the tone of the hair or be several shades darker.

Before applying mascara, it is recommended to powder your eyelashes, which will make it possible to draw even the smallest hairs. Make sure that the roots of the eyelashes are well painted, do not allow the formation of lumps and sticking of the eyelashes.

How to paint small eyes with drooping eyelids

Drooping eyelids make you look sad and tired. And if your eyes are small in size, then it is very important to learn how to apply. Be sure to pluck your eyebrows to avoid making your eyes look heavier. It is advisable to use shadows: darker ones for the crease of the eyelid and the outer corner of the eye, and light ones for the inner corner. You should not allow pronounced contrasts that focus attention on problem areas. The tones should smoothly transition into each other and be softly shaded.

Don't forget to line your lower eyelid with dark shadows, but also be sure to blend them and make them as natural as possible. For evening options women with drooping eyelids should choose “smoky eyes” in muted, soft colors.

The main rule of makeup for this type of eyes: when applying the main shadows to the moving eyelid, grab a little more skin from above the crease. Then draw the shape using dark shadows and blend them. Place white or light beige shadows just under the eyebrow. And remember: no clear lines!

This cannot be done:

• use bold shadows that collect in the folds and make the eyes look heavier;
• apply pearlescent shadows;
• draw clear arrows and eyeliners.

Let us immediately inform you that bright and catchy makeup is contraindicated for owners of small eyes, the rich tones of which can visually “crush” the eyes. We need to achieve the opposite goal, so moderation, and moderation again!

However, too pale makeup is also not suitable: natural tones in the “nude” style do not help highlight the eyes. Our task is to select such color scheme, which will maximize the look and allow the eyes to look larger.

Makeup example for small eyes

Let's start with preparing the eyelids: we need swelling, redness or... You probably know that even with swelling, they visually appear much smaller, so to get rid of the problem, apply a cool compress of green tea or raw potatoes to your eyes for 10 minutes. After this, additionally wipe the skin with ice.

Now we mask the area around the eyes using a universal liquid corrector. Attention: a prerequisite is that the color of the corrector must be one tone lighter than your skin! With its help you remove bruises and even out skin tone.

Now let's start applying shadows. It is important that their color does not merge with the tone of the eyes, but is contrasting. For blue eyes Brownish-golden colors are perfect; For brown-eyed women, different shades of purple are suitable. Contrasting accents will make your eyes appear larger.

First, a specialized base is applied to the eyelids, which will prevent the shadows from quickly rolling off. This must be a product in light colors, sometimes with mother-of-pearl. After this, a contrasting base color is applied, and the shadows are carefully shaded.

Now it’s time for eyeliner, which is used as liquid or pencil (you can learn the secrets of proper eyeliner in one of ours). A thin strip is drawn from the top of the eyelid along the growth of the eyelashes. At the same time, approaching the outer corner of the eye, it must be widened, and behind the corner it must be moved upward to create everyone’s favorite “cat look.”

Whether or not to apply dark eyeliner to the lower eyelid is a matter of taste, but you need to be careful: if you draw it inside the eye on the mucous membrane, it will make the eyes appear smaller! And the arrows along the outer edge of the lower eyelid often look sloppy. The best option is to blend the shadows along the lower eyelid.

How to color small deep-set eyes

When the eyes seem to be pressed into the socket, it makes them small and unattractive. Our task is to reveal and highlight the look. Remember: if you have deep-set eyes, pearlescent shadows and even glitter are recommended. And in everyday use, give preference to light shadows and nude makeup.

It is forbidden:

• darken the fold of the upper eyelid;
• heavily paint the lower eyelashes and line the lower eyelid with dark colors;
• paint your eyes pink or lilac tones, giving a painful and tear-stained look;
• use black and dark blue eyeliners.

For evening outings, choose the notorious “smoky eye”, which makes your look mysterious and attractive.

We told you how to paint small eyes in different cases. Try to follow the rules described, but don’t be afraid to experiment and practice: then you will definitely learn how to do perfect makeup.

Makeup helps girls emphasize all the advantages of facial beauty and hide certain flaws. If you know how to paint your eyes correctly, you can highlight their depth and brightness, make your look more languid or dramatic.

How to apply eye shadow correctly

The first thing that is important to remember is that you need to use high-quality cosmetics. Any cheap shadows (regardless of whether they are liquid or pressed) tend to crease in the creases of the eyelid. This looks extremely sloppy and spoils the overall image. The second thing you need to focus on is the base. Without foundation and powder coating, the colors of the shadows will be inexpressive.

Step by step:

Why should you mix the two? dark colors, and not use one? Most drama shades look garish on their own, and some (brown) can even add age or redness. To avoid this, they are combined with each other.

How to apply makeup with a pencil

If previously it was recommended to paint your eyes with either a white or black pencil, now it is correct to use any shades. The brighter the more interesting. This is a huge scope for imagination, because you can choose the right option for any color. But the most popular ones are still black, brown and dark blue.

How to paint wings on your eyes correctly

Classic arrows suit almost all girls. They are the basis of the favorite makeup of Marilyn Monroe, Dita Von Teese and many other symbols of seductiveness. Despite its apparent simplicity, a clear line with an elegant tail is quite difficult to draw.

Instructions on how to make arrows in the style of Kylie Jenner:

1. You need to apply a light base to the upper eyelid. We recommend using dry eye shadow or powder. To make the eyes appear more open, shadows of a darker color are also applied to the hollow of the upper eyelid. After this shadow is shaded;
2. Pearlescent shadows are applied to the main part of the eyelid over the base. They should also be applied to the corner of the bridge of the nose and under the eyebrows. This will make the image more harmonious;
3. The liner is used to paint the eyelash growth line. To do this, use the edge of the brush to apply thin small strokes up to a third of the eyelid. To learn how to draw arrows beautifully, you need to do them exclusively with your eyes open. This way, the curvature or unevenness will be immediately noticeable;
4. The ponytail is drawn at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the lash line. Then a thin line is drawn from its extreme tail up to a third of the century. It is painted over with eyeliner or pencil;
5. The rest of the eyelid is also painted over with thin strokes. The most inconspicuous lines should be in the corner of the eye;
6. Next, eyelashes are painted. But Kylie often uses extensions (by the way, they can also be painted with mascara). Then they will look very natural.

Learning to apply eyeliner

With eyeliner you can draw not only thin “cat-like” arrows on yourself, but also spectacular art. They are fundamentally different from thin and ultra-thin in their shape and size. Considered incredibly popular thanks to the style trend of the 80s and 90s.

Tips on how to paint with liner for beginners:

• Regardless of the type of eyeliner (matte, glossy, liquid, pencil, etc.), it is applied only to a powder base. Otherwise, the line will be smeared and imprinted on the upper fold of the eyelid;
• All girls face problems with “different” arrows. To avoid this, you need to apply makeup only with your eyes open. Please note that even templates will not help in this case: the eye sockets have different shapes, which are especially noticeable when painting the arrows;
• To properly apply liner to your eyes, you cannot draw one continuous line. The strokes are painted first, and only then are they connected to each other;
• The most important rule when working with eyeliner is that the first line should be as thin as possible. If necessary, it can be thickened, but it cannot be made thinner. You will have to completely wash off your makeup.

How to paint with mascara

Without applying mascara, eye makeup will not be complete. This is a unique cosmetic product that, even on its own, can make your eyes look spectacular and bright. It is best to use black and brown mascara, although you can adapt to using brighter shades: blue, green, purple.

Makeup for drooping eyelids

When the eyelids droop, the eyes immediately become visually smaller, this gives extra age and creates the effect of “chronic” fatigue. By carefully darkening the problem area, you can not only immediately become younger and refresh your image.

Master class on how to apply makeup to drooping eyes:

1. The base is applied to the upper eyelid, the lower eyelid is lined with a light pencil or highlighter. The fold of skin at the outer corner is carefully shaded with brown shadows or liner;
2. The brown shade is stretched to a third of the lower eyelid; a tail is made at the corner to create a small arrow. Professionals shade the shadows or pencil with a brush, but at home you can use a sponge;
3. To beautifully darken the overhanging part of the eyelid, apply a dark shade of eyeshadow on top of it, as close as possible to the natural palette. It blends out very well. Beige light shadows are applied to the outer part and also blended;
4. To make it look as natural as possible, the shadows of the two shades are gently mixed together. This will ensure a transition from light to dark;
5. Only after this is an arrow drawn on the outer corner. To do this, it is best to use a dark shade of eyeshadow: brown, graphite gray or another of your choice;
6. If the eyelids droop a lot, but you also need to create a reflective accent on top of the darkened crease. To do this, pearl-colored shadows or shimmer are applied under the eyebrows and before the beginning of the darkened area;
7. A thin line of black eyeliner is drawn along the lash line. The lower eyelid can be tinted with a bright liner. It is selected depending on the color of the eyes;
8. The corners are brightened with highlighter. It also tints the area under the lower eyelid.

Protruding and large eyes

If almond-shaped eyes do not cause their owners any problems at all, then girls with convex and overly large eye sockets have to visually narrow them all the time.

How to properly make up bulging round eyes:

1. A clear black outline is applied to the cream base. The easiest way to create it is with eyeliner. The liner line is shaded with a beveled hard sponge or brush to create a spectacular tip;
2. The moving part of the eyelid is covered with a matte, calm shade of shadow. Additionally, the fold under the eyebrow is lightened;
3. Afterwards, just a little dark is applied on top of the light color. You shouldn’t completely darken your eyes - this will give extra emphasis to the convex part;
4. Only after this is the classic arrow drawn with a dark liner. Some makeup artists use black shadows for such purposes, which are applied with a very small and thin moistened brush;
5. Using a brush, small upward strokes are made, the shadows seem to stretch towards the middle of the eye. This will darken the moving eyelid and make it as neat as possible;
6. Apply highlighter or shadows with shimmer to the corners;
7. Now from the middle of the lower eyelid it is created light natural shadow of eyelashes. It is most convenient to do this with the same shadows that were used for the base on the upper part. Be sure to emphasize the lower rim of the eye. To do this, you need to outline it with a gray or dark beige pencil. It is unacceptable to use light shades.

Painting narrow and small eyes

Slanted or narrow eyes most often have a small shape. But despite this, with the right makeup they look incredibly impressive and beautiful.

Makeup for narrow eyes

How to properly make up oriental eyes at home:

1. The entire moving eyelid is worked on with the lightest shade. Ideally, it should be close to porcelain or white;
2. After this, the skin is covered with mother-of-pearl or shimmer;
3. A thin line is applied with a liner to the inner corner of the eye and the outer part. Next, select a cool shade of brown and apply it to the upper fold of the eyebrow;
4. Now the most interesting point. The painting scheme for narrow eyes is radically different from all those described above. In particular, the fact that the fold between the moving eyelid and eyebrow is emphasized thin line dark color. It needs to be created when open eye, so at first you will have to practice a little;
5. This “bird” stretches the tail, it remains open. Then a second arrow is drawn from the middle of the eye to the outer corner, and its tail will cover the upper eyelid. Naturally, the lines are shaded according to the growth of the eyelashes;
6. Afterwards, the eyes are lined in a classic (cat-like) way with liquid eyeliner. All that remains is to add a little mascara and gloss under the lower eyelid.

Evening smokey eye is done according to the same scheme, but brighter colors are selected for it.

Deep-set eyes

The main problem with deep-set eyes is excess volume above the upper fold. If the eyelids are sunken, then the eye socket is “lost” under them. Here it is important to darken not the fold itself, but the space above it.

Instructions on how to do daytime makeup for deep-set eyes:

1. For this type, the optimal color scheme is beige-brown with a small splash of red. This will create the most natural shadow;
2. A dark shadow is applied over the problematic crease. It is shaded at a slight angle, as if stretching the eye. The same shade is applied in very small quantities under the lower eyelid;
3. To prevent your eyes from looking tired, a thin classic liner is painted along the eyelashes. This subtle outline will also help lift the outer corner, making it look slightly stretched;
4. For the winged line on the upper eyelid, it is best to use liquid eyeliner, but do not extend the tip. This will only emphasize the hollowness. Leave it sort of uncovered. Emphasize the lower lash line from the middle to the edge with a dark shaded line;
5. A small amount of glitter is applied to the inner corner. For deep-set eyes, we recommend working exclusively with matte shadows in a natural palette - this will make you look much more natural than when using flashy shades;
6. Afterwards mascara is applied and eyebrows are drawn in. Please note that the eyebrow area should not be highlighted either. Leave it practically untouched (except for foundation).

According to all the laws of color, if you use the “correct” shades in the shadows, you can achieve an incredible effect: the color will become bright, expressive, and deep.

Brown eyes

Dark, cool shades suit brunettes very well. These are purple, lilac and the whole range of blue. For daytime makeup, we recommend paying attention to delicate lilac tones and matte beige (they are natural and suitable for everyone).

Greens

For girls with such a unique color, shadows with a reddish pigment are suitable. These are brown, red, peach and other “warm” shades. Red and pinkish palettes look especially cool.

Gray and gray blue

These are almost perfect colors. Almost all shades are suitable for their owners, including black and dark gray.

Blue

Light gray shades of eyeshadow, yellowish, beige and pearlescent are suitable for all blondes. Black and dark gray liners would be ideal for eyeliner. But it is better to avoid brown and bright shades.

Read our step-by-step instructions and tips on how to properly apply eye shadow, and you will quickly master the necessary skills.

1) Use a quality primer

A good base is even more important than the quality of the shadows themselves. The base will make them more durable: they will not smudge or crumble. In addition, the shade will be more saturated. To beautifully make up your eyes, you can use not only a special primer as a base, but also cream shadows in pastel colors.

2) Shade

The main rule for applying shadows is good shading. Yes, this will take some time, but the result in the end will be excellent.

3) Don't forget about brushes

Many people use the standard applicator that comes with the palette for eye makeup. But with its help it is almost impossible to achieve perfect shading. To apply crumbly shadows, it is advisable to use special brushes, but cream shadows can generally be applied with your fingers.

4) Smooth transitions

How to apply eye shadow correctly? Using several shades, try to avoid too clear boundaries between zones. You can achieve smooth transitions using the same shading.

5) Be careful with the lower eyelid

Colored eyeshadow on the lower eyelid often creates the effect of dark circles under the eyes, even if you don't actually have them. For the lower eyelid, it is best to use eyeliner or light shadows, and save dark ones for the outer corners of the eyes.

6) Concealer and powder

Bright eye makeup will attract additional attention to them, so do not forget to correct the area under the eyes with concealer. If you plan to do a smoky eye, be sure to powder your skin over the concealer so as not to smudge it if the dark shadows fall off.

7) Minimum 3 shades

For beautiful makeup- it doesn’t matter whether it’s evening or daytime - you will need at least 3 shades: medium for the middle of the eyelid, dark for the outer corners, and light for the inner corners. You will find such a set in any palette! But if in the morning you don’t have time to apply and blend several tones, use only a light pale pink shade - it suits almost everyone and allows you to make appearance more fresh and rested.
