Secrets of proper makeup for small eyes

When it comes to eyeliner, avoid thick, thick or dark lines. The exception is a neat eyeliner liner on the upper eyelid. Arrows can be drawn only if the eye has a pronounced round shape.

It is highly not recommended to highlight the lower eyelid with clear and dark lines. The only acceptable option is a colored and light shining eyeliner or a very thin shaded contour from the outer corner to the middle of the lower eyelid, retreating from the lash line.

If you use white color correctly, it will be a great helper for visual enlargement. A well-known professional technique is highlighting the inner contours of the eyelids with white color. And also, it can be used in the form of shining shadows, which can be used to highlight the inner corners of the eyes, but only if the eyes are not too far from each other. And also, with light shadows you can highlight the eyelid up to the crease.

All pearlescent and shimmering light shades of shadows help perfectly in this situation. Dark tones can be used only for sculpting, so that the look is expressive. For example, these tones can highlight the crease of the eyelid and the outer corners. An excellent technique is to arrange the shadows in the form of horizontal lines to achieve the effect of a maximally wide-open look.

Of course, many perceive colored mascara as a taboo in makeup, but here you can make an exception by arming yourself with blue or purple mascara. You can combine them by using blue at the bottom and purple at the top. Regarding the effect of mascara, you need to look for a lengthening one, but only one that does not weigh down your eyelashes.

About the color wheel, selecting shadows that match your eye color

Good afternoon

The topic is not new, but always relevant. And it’s relevant because not everyone can use the color wheel correctly and choose the right color.

Color circle

Everything seems to be very clear. The color wheel is designed so that combinations of any colors chosen from it will look good together. There are color schemes that offer a beautiful look when the colors are combined harmoniously.

According to color theory, harmonious color combinations are obtained:

- Of any two colors located opposite each other on the color wheel.

- When using any three colors evenly distributed across the color wheel, forming a triangle.

— When using any four colors that form a rectangle.

Now let’s take a green eye and paint it with red shadows...)) Already at this moment suspicions begin to creep in that something in this theory is not working quite right. And yet it works. It just works a little differently in makeup. It is not so simple and requires an integrated approach.

Let's start with the fact that any eye color is ambiguous and often heterogeneous. Blue eyes can be gray, transparent, cloudy, green, blue, the color of wet asphalt, etc. There may be inclusions in them. The same goes for other colors. Notice that the color brown is not on the color wheel at all! Turn out the lights, dry your oars :)) Why is this so? Yes, because brown is a derivative and can include almost any color.

So, when we talk about matching the color of shadows to the color of the eyes, our task is to carefully examine the eyes, highlight all the shades present in them, and understand in which direction we want to take them. There are always several options. But! This is where color type comes into play. The difficulty of choosing shadows always lies in the fact that we cannot act in isolation, without taking into account the color of the skin and hair. And there are also nuances in the form of vascular mesh on the skin or on the whites of the eyes, and it’s also impossible to ignore them. So it is a fact that the eyes will change color depending on the color of the shadows. And not just the eyes. Even skin color looks different.

For comparison. Photos were taken under the same lighting! And look HOW different eye color and skin color look.

In the first case, we use the opposite color scheme from color theory and emphasize the green color that is in the eyes, extracting it.

In the second case, we do not play with contrast, due to which the color remains unchanged. This option is the most neutral and most commonly used. But you can achieve the most interesting results using the first option.

Let's say the eyes
are green
. Pronounced green color. What color will look good on them? Mustard, red. The eyes will glow with this combination. But blue clothes really suit redheads. But blue shadows most often look too pretentious and heavy on white skin. In addition, of course, shades of lilac go with green eyes. We have already seen that they extract green even where there is little of it.

The color does not have to be expressed. It is enough to include it a little in your makeup:

Blue eyes

sandy shades, brown, gray-brown, golden and bronze shades are perfectly emphasized, going into brown, and not pink or red.

Please note that reddish shadows immediately turn your eyes green:

In addition, classic dark gray smokey eyes will look good

You can do it color to color, but it will look simpler:

Brown eyes.

Here a lot depends on the shade. We can only speculate in general terms. Rich brown eyes usually look great with pink shades. They enliven the eyes, as if adding a glow. That's why I often use pink. Not in its pure form, but adding a touch. I add it to bronze, brown, and lilac. The eyes immediately “come to life”

And then everything will depend on what colors your brown eyes are made of. If they have a hint of red in them, feel free to use green.

The bottom line is that you should choose the exact color that will make your eyes glow. And in combination with this color, you can use any others, but the eye will be highlighted. And the color wheel in this regard can definitely be your guide. If you have green eyes but have a touch of brown, this means you can safely use a brown color scheme and highlight it.

Selection of tones for different shades of small eyes

Contrasting tones will help to visually open small brown eyes of a dark, rich shade. For example, light pink or lavender.

If the shade is not rich brown, but nutty, a bright bronze color, khaki or muted tones with a reddish tint are suitable.

Green shades will decorate shaded lilac or purple tones with mother-of-pearl. Peach ones are great too.

Light gray, metallic silver and rich blue tones with mother-of-pearl can open up small blue eyes.

Makeup "silver"

Paint the inner corners of the eyes, top and bottom, with a shimmering white pencil. Next, we outline the eyelids up to the outer corner, going beyond the crease, with silver glossy shadows. Highlight the outer corner below and above with a matte dark gray eyeshadow.

The final touch is lengthening silver or black mascara.

"Autumn Rose"

It is not easy to create because it has some complex details. But, with the help of a step-by-step guide, you can master it in one go.

Step back half a centimeter from the outer corner of the eye towards the inner corner. Draw a vertical bracket with a dark brown pencil so that the smooth angle looks towards the outer corner. Highlight the outer corner below and above with dark brown matte shadows so that they do not overlap the bracket at the top, but only frame it.

Using burgundy matte shadows, make a vertical stripe half a centimeter wide near the other side of the bracket. Use pink shimmering shadows to outline the entire upper eyelid up to the burgundy stripe. Emphasize the inside corner with shimmering white pigment.

Outline the lower eyelid with burgundy shadows and blend them very well. Draw a thin black line at the top of the eyelid and draw a small arrow. We paint the eyelashes well with lengthening mascara, highlighting the eyelashes as much as possible in the outer corners.

Using an ivory-colored pigment with glitter, make a vertical diagonal stripe on the upper eyelid. The next stripe should be done with sandy sparkling shadows. The third diagonal stripe should be made using brown pearlescent shadows. We paint the fourth stripe, located in the outer corner, with a matte chocolate tone. We carefully shade the borders so that they are not noticeable.

Along the growth of the lower eyelashes we make a strip using sandy sparkling shadows. Underneath it we draw a thin strip of brown pearlescent shadows. Carefully blend the brown shade.

We line the upper eyelid with a thin brown pencil. Apply dark brown mascara to the upper and lower eyelashes.

Makeup “attractive classic”

Using liquid black eyeliner, we subtly line the growth area of the upper eyelashes, stepping back a little from it. We complete this line with a very small, neat arrow. Paint the upper eyelid, covering the crease, with matte dark beige shadows. We paint the lower eyelid with pearlescent beige. We use any mascara.

How to narrow big, bulging eyes with makeup

Makeup for large eyes should not be oversaturated with light pearlescent tones. Winning tones are dark, thick and matte. Light-colored pearlescent shadows can be used to highlight only the area near the eyebrows and the corners of the eyes, if they are close-set.

If you are going to line a large eye, do it so that the line is thick and covers the inner area of the eyelids, especially if it is convex. A great makeup look for large round eyes is one that is created with horizontal lines that extend to the outer corner of the eye. Draw arrows in the corners to visually lengthen it.

Don't use lengthening mascara. Better take the one with the effect of natural eyelashes or curling.

We frame the inner corner with shimmering golden shadows and draw a stripe on the upper eyelid from it to the tip of the black line.

Using a glossy black liner, make a wide strip on the upper eyelid and a thin strip on the lower eyelid, trying to draw it as close as possible to the growth of the eyelashes. Apply two layers of volumizing mascara to both the lower and upper eyelashes.
