For a competent make-up it is recommended to do one accent: either on the eyes or on the lips. Girls who are not rewarded by nature "bottomless eyes", it is better to choose the first option. Moreover, with the help of simple make-up techniques, a very impressive result can be achieved - expressive eyes wide open. And what was considered a disadvantage will become a virtue.
Features
Decorative cosmetics provides great opportunities in terms of appearance correction. But, as often happens, the inept use of these tools can not only beautify, but even make invisible those virtues that are by nature. So, when the eyes are small, the main thing is not to make them even smaller. In this case, it is best to experiment with light shades of shadows. Dark ones can add the effect of an impending century, which weights the gaze.
The contour clearly delineated in black pencil, as they say, is not the topic. And without that small eyes can be turned into two narrow holes. For our purpose, a white pencil is better suited, refreshing and opening look. If, after all, you do not want to part with black color, then you can bring, for example, only the upper eyelid from the outer edge. By the way, it will help to visually dilute the eyes to the side when they are close planted.
So, a few recommendations on how to make beautiful, but small eyes even more attractive.
What is needed?
To do makeup for small eyes, it is worth using several tools.
- Shadows - This is the main tool in order to visually enlarge the eyes. The palette is better to choose natural colors. It is necessary to take into account the color of the eyes, the choice of shadows in the tone will be a mistake, they simply merge. It is necessary to achieve the opposite result - to give the look depth and expressiveness. Therefore, it is better to play on the contrast. The tenderness of blue eyes is emphasized by beige shades, the warmth of hazel is blue-green, the depth of gray is brown-pink, and the originality of emerald is the best way to set off purple-violet tones. Pearlescent, golden, shiny shadows in makeup for small eyes may be appropriate, but in its evening version.
- Corrector. It can be used when there are flaws on the skin that I would like to hide: spots, pimples, moles. The color is chosen according to what you want to mask.
- Concealer applied to the area of the lower eyelids to remove dark circles, if they, of course, are. It is recommended to choose a half tone lighter than the main skin tone. This tool will help avoid the impression of tired eyes.
- Highlighter. A bit of wet gloss under the eyebrows will add shine to the look.
- Eye pencil. Eyeliner should be light, it is better to use a white pencil.
- Mascara. You can choose the black one, as the fluffy curled eyelashes will open the eyes even more and visually enlarge the eyes. But if you wish, you can use brown or gray, especially for girls with fair skin. Color, blue or green mascara would be appropriate except for New Year's or other costumed parties with emphasized decorativeness and theatricality.
How to choose and apply make-up correctly?
A step-by-step guide will help make makeup for small eyes so that they appear larger.
- Preparation is important for any make-up. First you need to clean the skin with a product suitable for a particular type of person.
- If the upper eyelid looks wider, then the eyes will appear larger, so pay attention to the eyebrows. You can increase the distance to them simply by plucking the lower hairs with tweezers. But to bring to the state of a thin thread is also not necessary. Eyebrows should look natural. You can paint them with shades of natural shade or with a pencil, imitating hairs, fix the result with gel.
- Now need mask minor imperfections with a corrector and even out skin tone tonal basis, distributing it over the entire face with the help of a sponge or brush.
If the necessary tool was not at hand, you can do it with your own fingers.
- Concealer "erased" circles under the eyes and refreshing look.
- The main means for obtaining the desired effect is a game of shadows. A lighter tone is superimposed on the upper eyelid. Dark fold slightly underlined and stands on the outer corner of the eye. Everything needs to be gently shaded.
- Under the eyebrows is applied a thin strip of highlighterThat will help to visually lift them and open their eyes more. A little bit of the same means - on the inside corner.
- Now you need to bring the contours. Clear dark lines are undesirable, so you should take a white pencil, especially since this is one of the trends of the season. It should be applied almost on the mucous. In the lower eyelid, you can grab the lash line.
- Beautiful eyelashes - this is one of the important accents.. If they are long and curved - great. If not (unfortunately, more often this is the case), you can curl them with the help of special forceps (curler). Mascara must be selected with the appropriate properties. By the way, with low-hanging eyebrows, a lengthening effect may not be necessary. It should be painted in two layers and then thoroughly comb the eyelashes. They should be fluffy, not like spider legs.
If the eyelashes do not look good enough, overhead is acceptable. But here, however, as in everything else, it is important a sense of proportion.
Make-up for every day and make-up for special occasions and parties have their own nuances.
Daily
Makeup artists, as a rule, advocate naturalness, especially in daytime makeup. But this does not mean that he does not need to pay attention. It often happens this way: in the morning they got up, washed, they put lipstick on their lips, they touched the eyelashes with mascara - that's all, they made up. When in a hurry, this approach may be acceptable. But in order to look beautiful and attractive every day, everyday make-up should be performed in stages almost as carefully as the evening one.
For example, the popular Smokey Aiz technique, which consists in blending shadows from a richer shade to a light shade around the century, was originally intended for evening makeup. But at the same time, the look is “served” so effectively that the stylists have developed a daytime version of “smoky” make-up, for the creation of which one should follow these steps:
- the shade of the average natural color should be applied to the upper eyelid, creating a light haze;
- instead of a bright eyeliner, you should use a contour of dark shadows;
- the inner corner of the eye should be highlighted with bright shadows;
- Finally, paint the eyelashes with brown mascara.
For daytime makeup it is recommended to choose products with a light delicate texture and light shades.
Evening
When you need to look particularly impressive, makeup Smokey Aiz is what you need. But in the case of small eyes, you will have to deviate a bit from the classic version. Clear black outlines are not recommended. Lower eyelashes do not need to stain, as this will make the look heavy. You can use the above technique, but the shadows should be chosen brighter. It is worth adding a little shine or nacre to the inner corner of the eye and under the eyebrows.
If there is a desire, it is permissible to make a small arrow, but you should start it from about the middle of the century and bring it up a little beyond the corner of the eye.
When performing this make-up, you need to be especially careful when blending, so that the light haze conceived does not turn into a dirty spot.
Wedding
Makeup for this special event should also be special. The bride is always the prettiest of all, but this does not mean at all that her make-up is the brightest. It is intended to emphasize the beauty, but at the same time, tenderness and modesty. Therefore, flashy shades are inappropriate, especially if the traditional white dress is chosen.
You should pay attention to the following version of makeup:
- shades of beige shades are applied to the upper eyelid, you can add pinkish;
- over, from the center to the inner corner, you need to put silver;
- the fold is allocated shadows about 2 tones darker than the main ones;
- shadows emphasize the lower eyelid along the lash line;
- white shadows, it is possible with a light pearlescent effect, should be applied in the area under the eyebrow and in the inner corner;
- the arrow is not drawn, but rather is outlined in black or dark brown pencil;
- the final accent is fluffy eyelashes made up with black ink.
Useful tips
First of all, when choosing shades it is necessary to focus not only on the color of the eyes, but also on the color of hair and skin. A bright palette that adorns a dark brunette, most likely, will make a white blonde blonde vulgar.
To further accent the eyes, lipstick should choose natural light shades or even limit colorless lip gloss.
About age make-up
Often with age it happens so that the upper eyelid falls, making the eyes even smaller. The recommendations will be the same, with some exceptions. It is better to choose light shades of a cold range. Warm colors can add the impression of a tired face, which does not decorate at all. Categorically unacceptable naive pink colors.
Bright eyeliner is better not to use. Pencil can be shaded, giving the contours of the smoothness and softness. But the makeup should not look smeared, so the line should be traced. Flicker and glitter may look out of place even in evening make-up, therefore it is better to refuse such means.
Very refreshing face lipstick in red shades. Even if the focus is on the eyes, it is worth taking a dim, having a light texture.
Skin care
The area around the eyes is very sensitive. And if she lacks care, the edema and dark circles that appear are sometimes unable to hide any makeup. Therefore, it will be useful to use for this zone special creams with vitamin C, to perform lymphatic drainage massage in the evenings with tapping movements of the fingers, helping to drain excess fluid and improve circulation. It should also be remembered that stress and lack of sleep are the main enemies of beautiful eyes.
