A crisp eyeliner is the foundation for creating big eyes. Use a black eyeliner pencil to trace along the inner rim of the eye, filling in the lash line to make the eye contour stand out distinctly.
1. Trace the inner eyeliner along the eye contour, ensuring the outer corner matches the eye's width.
TIPS: To make eyes appear more vibrant, colored contact lenses can enhance the effect.
2. Extend the outer corner upward into a 7mm cat-eye flick. Position the upward angle along the imaginary line connecting the outer corner of the eye to the outer end of the eyebrow.
3. Connect the inner corners of the upper and lower eyeliner to form a "<" shape. This sharpens the eye contour, particularly beneficial for puffy eyelids.
4. Finally, trace the lower lash line to add dimensional depth. Use an eyeshadow brush to blend the liner seamlessly, creating a natural gradient where eyeliner meets eyelid.
II. Eyeshadow Techniques
Layered eyeshadow is the secret weapon for creating dimensional eye makeup. Brown shades suit Asian eyes best. Applying varying depths of color to different eye areas is key to achieving a wide-eyed look.
1. Apply a light eyeshadow shade as a base across both upper and lower lids.
2. Apply a slightly darker brown shade to the upper half of the upper eyelid, overlapping the base color slightly.
3. Apply the deepest brown shade to the crease and the outer third of the lower lash line.
4. Apply a light shade to the inner corner of the eye and gently blend the color transition with a brush.
III. Lashes Section
Thick, long lashes make your eyes appear bright and lively. Beyond false lashes, you can achieve natural-looking curl and volume with different mascaras.
1. Use an eyelash curler to achieve a natural curl.
2. Comb through lashes with a lengthening mascara featuring a small brush head.
3. Follow with a volumizing mascara as a base coat.
4. Quickly apply lash-extending fibers to the lashes already coated with mascara.
5. Finally, comb through your lashes with a small-bristled mascara wand to ensure the fibers adhere smoothly.
