7 ways to make your eyes look bigger with makeup

Expressive eyes are a gift from nature that not all girls have inherited. For those unlucky, don't despair as makeup artists have come up with 7 ways to make your eyes look bigger with makeup.

Method number 1: Correct the shape of eyebrows and eyelashes

Experts advise:

1. Raise the corners of your eyebrows. The technique allows you to remove the effect of the overhanging eyelid, get rid of the 'sad look'. It is better to change the shape of the arc with a specialist.
2. Fix the hairs with transparent gels or products to match the eyebrows. Too dark pigments will highlight the forehead, against which the eyes seem small. It is better to comb the hairs up towards the outer edge of the arch.
3. Extend and curl the lashes at the outer corners. The method will instantly make your eyes bigger. For this purpose, special tweezers, two-phase mascaras, and false eyelashes are used. You need to be careful with building up. Thickly pasted 3-D tufts will hide your eyes instead of making them bigger.

Do not use dried ink. The lumps will glue and lower the lashes, negating the efforts to curl and lengthen.

Method number 2: Mandatory use of corrective agents

Make-up is applied over a base, which is used as concealers Mineralize Concealer, Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat, Matchmaster Concealer, creamy Maybelline Color Tattoo 93 shades or MAC in Painterly colors. These products mask dark circles, prominent veins, unwanted pigmentation and redness that highlight the small eye shape. Concealers moisturize and prevent the eyeshadows from crumbling.

Method number 3: Highlight the inner corners of the eyes

A technique that makes even close-set, small eyes bigger. On the lacrimal tubercle, apply some light shadows of white or milky color, blend. The same pigment can be used to highlight the lower lash line. Both matte and glossy palettes are allowed.

Highlighter on the cheekbones will enhance the effect of enlarging the eyes with lightened corners. If the decorative agent is not at hand, it can be replaced with a colorless hygienic lipstick. Cheekbones are touched with it several times, and then shaded with a sponge or fingertips.

Method # 4: Apply more makeup to the outer corners

Reception helps to visually expand the eyes, reduce the severity of the overhanging eyelid. The effect is achieved with arrows and shadows.

Sharp graphical arrows are a great way to make your eyes look bigger. They can be used as an accent in nude makeup or as a component of complex techniques such as Cut Crease or Loop. It is important that the tails of the stripes are directed upwards towards the edge of the brow arch. This will add expressiveness to the look, make the eyes larger. Smooth or downward lines make the face look sad.

Do not line the lower lashes with arrows. The dark lines dim the eyes. For the same reason, those who seek to make their eyes larger are not recommended makeup in the style of Smoky eyes.

If shadows are used, their color should be 2-3 tones darker than the main makeup color. The pigment is spread in smooth movements towards the edge of the brow arch. For a make-up, a brush with a short dense bristle is preferable, like the MAC 239 or ZOEV 234.

Method number 5: use vertical makeup

Vertical lines with smooth color transitions are a good way to make the eyes look bigger. The method is suitable for girls with European and Asian appearance. For makeup, you need 4 pigments of the same color from the lightest (1) to the darkest (4), as well as lengthening mascara, white gel liner and a black liner.

Stages of applying cosmetics:

1. Masking skin defects. Use a sponge or brush to apply a corrective product in a suitable tone. Better to use creamy textures.
2. Distribute the lightest shadows (1). We paint the movable eyelid with pigment from the inner corner of the eyes to the area above the pupil.
3. Fill the middle part with the second shade.
4. Draw a triangle with the fourth color on the outer corner.
5. Shade the transition between the second and fourth shades with pigment number 3.
6. Select the area under the eyebrows with the lightest color.
7. With a white eyeliner, draw an arrow along the lower lash line.
8. With a black liner, we emphasize the outer corner of the triangle, made with dark shadows.
9. Apply mascara.

To make the eyes as large as possible, at the final stage of vertical makeup, it is necessary to emphasize the cheekbones with powder and highlighter.

Method number 7: Adopt Cut Crease makeup

A method in which the crease of the eyelid is clearly distinguished by a dark stripe. The area above the line turns out to be smoky, and below it – sharply outlined. The contrast visually stretches the eyes, makes them larger and more expressive. The method is suitable for girls with a European appearance, but is contraindicated for owners of an Asian type.

For a make-up, you will need 2 shades of eyeshadows of the general color scheme, liquid black eyeliner and lengthening mascara. The Cut Crease technique looks most advantageous in a sandy-chocolate palette.

Execution stages:

1. Apply the base, matting the skin with shadows of the main color. For this purpose, shades of a warm palette, such as ivory, porcelain, powder, are more suitable.
2. With a light movement, select the entire fold with dark pigment (milk chocolate, caramel). Brushes with dense, long bristles and a pointed tip, such as the ZOEVA 224, do this well.
3. Using a gel liner, draw a thin, short arrow from the corner of the eye to the eyebrows.
4. We make out the fold with bronze shadows, connect the strip with the tip of the arrow, lightly shade with a large brush.
5. Distribute the light pigment above the line under the eyebrow.
6. Fill the movable eyelid with a beige shade.
7. Shade the strip with a pencil brush.
8. Duplicate the arrow with dark pigment. It is convenient to do this with a thin short-haired taclon brush.
9. Apply mascara.

Don't forget to apply blush and lipstick.

Method number 7: Makeup using the 'Loop' technique

A classic pencil technique with an emphasis on contrasts. Its peculiarity is to highlight the mobile eyelid with a clear, rounded line in the form of a loop. Such a make-up makes the eyes larger, provided there is a well-defined brow bone. In the impending century, 'The Loop' looks vulgar.

For makeup, you will need a foundation, a highlighter, 3 shades of shadows: light, intermediate and dark. It is better to take a palette with a dense texture, transparent ones will not work. You also need a soft dark pencil or kayal to match the shadows, lengthening mascara, black gel liner.

Methodology:

1. We treat the skin with a correcting agent.
2. With a pencil (kayal) draw an arc. From the middle part of the movable eyelid along the fold we lead a strip to the outer corner of the eye, we draw the bend 3-4 mm beyond it. The edge of the arch should remain 2-3 mm above the lash line.
3. Draw the lower eyelid with a pencil. With a line directed to the temple through the outer corner of the eye, we connect it with the upper arch. Draw a loop in the transition area, shade it.
4. With a highlighter we go under the eyebrows.
5. Paint the border between the loop contour and the eyelids with an intermediate pigment, apply a layer of dark shadows on top, thereby creating a haze effect.
6. We emphasize the boundaries of the mobile eyelid with foundation. The easiest way to do this is with a brush ZOEVA 227, MAC 217 or their analogs.
7. Apply the lightest tone of the palette to the foundation.
8. Draw a thin arrow along the upper eyelid with a gel eyeliner, and draw the line into a dark shading.
9. Apply mascara.

Smart makeup is a great way to visually make your eyes look bigger. Lighten the inner area, draw arrows, darken the outer edges, but do not forget to balance the shades, select the palette to match the skin tone and eye color. Pay attention to the quality of your cosmetics. Only proven products will provide the make-up with durability for up to 12 hours. Also, don't neglect basic eye care. Swelling, swelling cannot be hidden with makeup.
