If you also have big eyes and want to learn how to make up big eyes continue reading this article of dondomos.com where we are going to teach you all the tricks and tips that you can apply to be as favored as possible and with the results you want.
Foundation
Of course before starting with eye makeup we must prepare and make up the face completely. We will wash our face with a specific cleansing gel for face, dry gently, apply a little tonic to touches and then we will put on our moisturizer with sun protection and eye contour.
Once we have let our face have absorbed the cream it is time to make it up. Start by applying the concealers to hide dark circles, pimples, etc. in the area of the dark circle it is much better that you apply little product, better in liquid format and of great coverage so as not to exceed the amount of product and avoid adding volume to this area. Take your foundation, apply a little in the hand so that you take product from there with your sponge or brush. Remember that you must also make up your eyes, this will unify the entire skin tone of your face, and also, when applying the eye shadows they will be exactly the same because you will not have any eye darker than another, for example.
Then we must apply a little translucent powders to seal the makeup and make it look intact for longer. Then you can apply a little prebase for eyes, so you can also get the shadows to adhere a little more and the makeup also lasts perfect for hours.
Big eye makeup
When we are going to make up the big eyes we do not want their size to be too exaggerated, on the contrary we want to highlight your size and natural attractiveness. Large eyes are usually seductive and very expressive, and in general very attractive, so we must enhance these factors, but without exaggerating them, we must also be careful with makeup or if we could not end up with very large and bulging eyes.
For natural and day-to-day makeup you can use shadows in light tones, such as beige, vanillas, peaches or terracotta’s, but if you also choose them with a little brightness you will be able to bring luminosity to your look.
On the other hand we can choose shadows a little darker, such as browns or chocolates, this will make the size of your eyes balance a little with the rest of your facial features, in addition smoky eyes are perfect to highlight the color of your eyes and also your look. To make your makeup stand out a little more and make it more intense you can also apply a little shade flush with the lower eyelashes.
If you want a luminous makeup but that also gives you balance you could choose to make a makeup combining two tones, one light and one dark. We will apply the light shadow first on the mobile eyelid and then the dark one from the outer end of the eye blurring towards the eye socket and a little upwards.
You can also apply shadows in beige tone under the arch of the eyebrow, in this way you will provide greater luminosity and the makeup will stand out a little more in beauty, but you must be careful because it can also give the feeling that your eyes are too large, therefore, if you are going to make a luminous makeup, avoid getting shade under the arch of the eyebrow.
In the event that your eyes are large and also very round, then we will have to look at making a makeup that provides a little length and get them to look a little more with the almond shape, so you will have a much more beautiful and natural appearance. Of course you should not exaggerate this makeup, otherwise it will look very artificial and you will not achieve the desired effect, but quite the opposite. To get to lengthen the shape of the eye a little we must finish the makeup on the outer area of the eye making a kind of V but not too marked. To do this we can blur the shadow to the outside of the eye making the v-shape. Remember that this V should not exceed too much of the end of the eye.
Eyeliner
As for the eyeliner, large eyes are lucky, because although the feeling of dwarfing your eyes a little, it will also highlight its beauty and you will show intense, deep-looking eyes. In this case you can play with both the color and the thickness of the line. For example, you could make a fine line flush with the upper eyelashes simply to frame your eyes and give it a little intensity. If you lengthen the line a little by making a small corner at the end of it at the outer end of the eye can help you create the effect of a slightly more elongated eye. If you made a slightly thicker line on the upper eyelid the intensity will be much greater and even if it makes the eye a little smaller, it will highlight a lot both the color of your eyes and the size and natural beauty of your eyes. Finally, you can also apply a black eyeline to the water line of the lower eyelid to intensify makeup and get a deeper look. You can also opt for a dark brown color to outline yourself, but keep in mind that other more striking colors such as greens, blues or violets will make your eyes much more striking, and in this case we do not recommend making very thick lines, but it will seem that you have bulging eyes.
Mascara
As for the mascara, this is a product that cannot be missing in our makeup. First pass a curling iron to show beautiful curved eyelashes. Then we will apply dense mascaras. At night if you want to highlight your eyes a little more you can apply mascara effect false eyelashes (if you used false eyelashes you will get your eyes to look much larger). You should also keep in mind that you should not apply mascara on the lower eyelashes, but you will also enlarge your eyes a little more and they will look much more expressive than they already are naturally.
Mascara should be applied from the root upwards and with zigzag movements.
To make up your eyebrows you must choose a slightly darker shade to the color of your hair, and apply it to the eyebrows to fill the hairless holes and also to help you outline the shape of your eyebrow.
Lips
With the lips you can also get more concealment of your large eyes or highlight them. If what you want is to hide them then apply a striking shade of lipstick. On the other hand, if you want your eyes to stand out, try applying lipsticks in light tones, so your lips will not take away the prominence of your look.
Mistakes to avoid
Now let’s mention some mistakes in big eye makeup that you should avoid if you do not want to end up with disadvantaged eyes, too exaggerated in size or even bulging.
We should never use very light shadows on the lower eyelid, since when completely framing the look it will seem that you have bulging eyes.
Also do not give touches of light in the area of the tear by putting shadows or eye pencil in very light tones.
Never make up the water line of the lower eyelid with white or beige eye pencils.
Also avoid using eyeliners in very light colors, otherwise the same thing will happen to you, your eyes will look very exaggerated and bulging.
Nor should you overdo it when applying concealer of dark circles, providing a lot of volume in the lower part of the eye will make you lose a little of that natural beauty.
Fringe
Although this is not part of makeup, we could not stay without giving you this advice. Bangs are a great ally for those with big eyes, not only because it can make them look a little smaller, but also because it brings intrigue and drama to your look.
Example of makeup for the day
Let’s look at a makeup for the day a little dark but functional for your big eyes. The first thing we will do is prepare and make up our face as we have already explained above. Now we will continue with the eye makeup. Choose a chocolate brown shade and start applying it to the mobile eyelid just following the eyelashes. It blurs the shadow up and to the outer v of the eye giving it this flattering shape. Now with a slightly darker shadow we are going to highlight the eye socket. Now we will choose a black eyeliner, much better if it is khol type. We will make the line both in the water lines of the lower and upper eyelids and the line of the upper eyelashes. Remember that the line should be very flush with the eyelashes so that there is no white gap. Follow the natural line of your eye to the outside of the eye where we will lengthen the line a little making a small and thin corner diagonally in the direction of the temple. Now we will apply mascara on the upper eyelashes (better if it is a mask that provides density).
Then let’s not forget to make up our eyebrows to profile them and shape them and help highlight makeup and look.
Finally, as for the lips, if you want your eyes to stand out enough then you can apply a nude lipstick, which only brings a little shine to the lips or gives it a touch of very subtle color. If you want to hide your eyes a little you can opt for lips in dark brown or red.
Put into practice these tricks on how to make up big eyes to get the most out of your look and highlight its natural beauty, it is very easy and you will notice the difference. Remember also the most common mistakes that we must avoid when putting on makeup.
