How to Make Eyes Look Bigger with Makeup
Girls with larger eyes often appear more expressive and attractive. But what if you were born with smaller eyes?Are there any good ways to make small eyes appear larger? Of course, makeup can solve this! Today, let the experts teach you a few tricks on how to make your eyes look bigger with makeup!
Step One
Choose eyeshadows with less intense pigmentation. Beginners often fear applying too heavily, resulting in overly dark colors, or misjudging the eyeshadow area, making the eye makeup look off.As a makeup novice, pay close attention to color selection. Opt for eyeshadows with subtle pigmentation. Even if you apply too much or get the placement wrong, it's easy to fix.
Step 2
Start with the lightest shade as your base. In recent years, monochromatic eyeshadow looks have fallen out of style. The latest technique involves layering shades to create a gradient effect.First, select the lightest shade from your palette (whether it's 2-3 single eyeshadows or a multi-color palette). Apply it generously across the upper eyelid and under the lower lash line to brighten the eye area and make your eyes appear more vibrant.
Step 3
Fill the crease with the next darkest shade. Next, choose the second-darkest shade and carefully fill the crease of your eyelid. To prevent the shadow from being obscured by the crease, apply it in thin layers. Keep checking your reflection in the mirror as you build the color gradually until you achieve the desired effect.
Step 4
Create a gradient effect with the darkest shade. Apply the deepest eyeshadow color from the center of the eyelid toward the outer corner to build a gradient effect.
Step 5
Frame the eye socket with light shades. Finally, lightly apply the light-colored eyeshadow around the eye socket—specifically on the upper and lower eyelids—to enhance the brightness and luminosity of the pupils.
How to Make Monolid Eyes Appear Larger
1. Apply Double-Eyelid Tape: First, use an eyeliner brush to apply black eyeliner gel along the lash line. Cut a thin strip of double-eyelid tape, about 0.5 cm shorter than your eye length. Center and adhere it along the lower edge of your natural eyelid crease.
2. Blend the eye socket. Apply light cocoa-colored eyeshadow to blend the eye socket, covering about 2/3 of the entire eyelid.
3. Draw the eyeliner. Next, use an eyeliner brush to dip into black eyeliner pencil and draw a thin black line along the lash line from the outer corner toward the inner corner. Remember not to make it too thick.Then lightly blend brown eyeshadow along the lower lash line toward the inner corner.
4. Apply false lashes: Curl your natural lashes upward with an eyelash curler first to facilitate false lash application.
