Appropriately applied make-up is able to camouflage minor face flaws: a big nose, narrow lips and small eyes. How to enhance your eyes? Learn a few useful make-up tricks.
How to make small eyes look bigger?
– Preparations
Before you start applying eye-enhancing make-up, you have to get your face ready for this. Therefore, apply face scrub and pat either a moisturising cream or a high-quality foundation base. Allow the cosmetic penetrate skin and then proceed with appling a foundation. If needed, camouflage skin imperfections and dark circles under eyes with a concealer (go for a highlighting concealer to deal with the dark circles). As the last step, cover your eyelids with a thin layer of a concealer or light foundation.

Firstly, cover your entire mobile eyelid with a beige shadow and then draw either a black or dark brown line along eyelash base. Mind you, don’t start applying the line form the inner corner of your eyes so as not to make your eyes even smaller. After that use a dark shadow to coat the area above the mobile eyelid since this will gift your eye with depth. Now, reach for a nude eye pencil and use it in two ways: firstly, smudge it delicately under eyebrows, and secondly apply it to the waterline.
The key issue when it comes to making eyes bigger is the lash enhancement. Having this in mind, coat them with a mascara and then use an eyelash curler: there is no other better way to make your eyes more open than well-curled lashes. Also, you have to take care of eyebrows. If they are too short, our eyes look smaller than they really are. Therefore, the end of the eyebrows should converge with the end of imagined line running from the edge of the nose through the outer corner of the eye towards the temple. If the eyebrows aren’t long enough, it’s better to extend them using an eye pencil.

If needed, use a shadow to draw eyebrows or shape them appropriately. It’s also a good idea to fix brow with a special gel if they are already dark and dense. After that, cover the entire upper eyelids with a fair (cream or beige) shadow. Then, apply a fair shadow to the inner corners of the eyes and smudge it along the mobile eyelids. Use a light brown shade to mark the end of your eyelid and its crease. Blend it above the crease. Now, take a dark brown shade to mark the lower eyelids. Distribute it from the outer corner to, more or less, the middle part of it. You can extend the dark brown line up to the crease of the eyes. Next, apply a very fair highlighting shadow to the inner corners of the eyes. Finally, reach for a black eyeliner and use it to draw a line along upper lash base to proceed with coating eyelashes with a mascara thoroughly.
