To visually enlarge the eyes, it is enough to resort to the help of decorative cosmetics. If you use it correctly, you can add clarity and depth to the look, emphasize the color of the eyes and focus on them.
What does the shape of the eye depend on?
From genetics, of course. Thus, narrow, narrowed eyes are a characteristic feature obtained by Asian nomads in the course of evolution. It is necessary in order to effectively protect the eyeball from fine dust entering it. And in some Northern Asian peoples, this feature does not allow the snow sparkling in the sun to” blind ” a person.
The differences between the Asian type of eye incision and the European type are:
- lower position of the outer corners in relation to the upper ones;
- some swelling caused by the accumulation of fat on the upper eyelid;
- the presence of a small additional fold of skin on the upper eyelid;
- the presence of a specific fold in the inner corner of the eye, called the epicanthus.
How to make your eyes look bigger
It is obvious that any independent attempts to increase the eye section are doomed to failure in advance. All of the above differences are anatomical in nature, and therefore no conservative effects can change them. Of course, there is always the option of competent use of cosmetics.
Properly selected and applied shadows, as well as other makeup techniques, will help visually make your eyes look bigger. But, of course, this is not a solution to the problem, but only a temporary disguise. The only effective way to increase the incision of the eyes plastic surgery, which will really make the eye gap larger.
Get rid of under-eye circles
Signs of fatigue and dark circles visually reduce the eyes and make them look painful. Use a moisturizing patch or cream, and then apply concealer to the under-eye area and mobile eyelid to get a uniform color. Choose a concealer that is a shade lighter than your skin and carefully blend it with your fingers or a makeup sponge.
Draw the interstitial space
You don’t need to draw arrows to make your eyes look brighter. It is enough to emphasize the lash growth line with a liner or pencil — so the eyes will get a clear shape. Another way: draw a thin, neat line with a pencil from the center of the eye, making it slightly thicker to the corners. Do the same with the lower eyelid and carefully blend — the eyes will become more saturated.
Curl your eyelashes with tweezers
Wide and curled lashes will instantly make the look more expressive and deep. It is especially important to do this for owners of straight eyelashes — they can cast a shadow on the area around the eyes, visually narrowing them.
Use mascara
Lengthening mascara is an essential tool for visually making your eyes look bigger. Carefully color your lashes, moving from the roots to the tips and twisting them a little to create a beautiful curve. Separate the clumped lashes with a brush and remove any excess mascara. For evening makeup, stick a few false lashes to the outer corners of your eyes, and for a more natural daytime look, use brown mascara.
Underline the outline of the lower eyelid
Use a cream or light pink pencil to draw the outline of the lower eyelid (a water line). The light line will merge with the white of the eye, making it appear larger, and the look will become fresh and rested.
Don’t forget about the highlighter
Highlight the inner corner of the eye and the area under the eyebrows with a highlighter — this will raise the eyes and reveal the look. For light skin, use warm cream colors, and olive-golden shades.
Combine dark and light shadows
To visually enlarge your eyes, use a combination of different saturation shades. Apply dark shadows to the outer corner of the eye and the crease of the eyelid-this will emphasize the natural contour of the eye. Accent light shades should be applied in the center. Carefully blend the shadows to avoid sharp transitions.
Watch your eyebrows
Extra hair above the eyes will look sloppy and reduce the space around the eyes, so do not forget to pluck and adjust your eyebrows in time. To make up look harmonious, paint over the bald spots in the eyebrows with a pencil or eye shadow and shape them with a transparent gel.
Conclusion
Finally, use eye shadow to draw up the lower eyelid, connecting the line with the tail of the arrow. Make-up artists claim that such arrows visually increase the eyes by about 25 percent, and combining them with other tricks, you simply do not recognize yourself in the mirror. Now you know how to visually make your eyes look bigger with makeup.
