We are not always satisfied with how we are, or what certain parts of our body look like. In the case of the face we can always resort to makeup to show off a perfect, luminous and imperfect skin. But it is also that makeup can help us to make some parts of our eyes look different, as is the case of the eyes.

For example, in many cases we are not usually satisfied with the size of our eyes, but thanks to makeup and the correct technique we can make the illusion that they look bigger and are more striking.

If you are also among this group of women I recommend that you continue reading this article of doncomos.com where we are going to explain some tips to make your eyes look bigger, as well as some eye makeup step by step to achieve the same effect.

Tips to make the eyes appear bigger

Eyebrows well defined, with good shape and populated. If you shave your eyebrows in the right way you can make your eyes appear larger, in addition, not only the shape is important, but that you keep them well shaved and trimmed, because excess hair will make your eyes seem even smaller. You can help yourself by drawing with a pencil the shape of the eyebrow you want and depilate the hairs that are outside the lines.

On the other hand we must make up our eyebrows to give it greater definition and also that they look more populated, this is an important key to make our eyes seem larger.

Most suitable type of concealer. As for concealers, it is better that you choose liquid concealers, especially if you are going to use them in the area of dark circles, since these in addition to being more hydrating are much better when applied and easier to blur, which is very important since they will mark the expression lines to a lesser extent.

Eye makeup in two shades. If you use this technique when it comes to makeup you will give greater dimension and depth to the eyelids, making your eyes appear larger. To achieve this you must use two shadows of the same color but in two different shades, one darker than the other. We will apply the darkest tone on the entire mobile eyelid and then apply the lightest shadow from the tear area to the middle of the eyelid.

Forget about the colors of very dark shadows. If you use shades of very dark eyeshadows you will get the opposite effect to the one you want, the dark tones dwarf and give depth. You, on the other hand, need more light.

Shadows in light colors will be your allies. Apply shadows in light tones, and even with a little brightness will bring you luminosity and make your eyes appear larger than they are. No doubt you can opt for pastel shades, but earth tones and pearly shadows will be what make you achieve your goal and make your eyes look bigger.

Smoked. If you want to get smoked for a night outing you can also do them, but instead of using blacks and dark grays try grays, ochre tones or even metallic shadows, which are ideal, since the shines will expand your look even more.

Eyeliner. If what you want is to make up your small eyes forget about the eyeliner, because it is your worst enemy. If you want to mark a little the expressiveness of the eye, just make a very fine line always flush with the upper eyelashes. The eyeliner dwarfs the eyes and makes it seem like a harder look, especially if we use thick lines and black tones, therefore, in addition to the previous advice try to use the brown pencil instead of black to make the line, or even some dark gray.

Following the previous line, also avoid marking the internal water line of the eye, both above and below, because if not you will also be able to dwarf your eyes even more and the look will also be hardened. If you still want to paint the inner line of the eye, it is best to do it with a light pencil, for example in a natural beige, this color will make your eyes look bigger, you will also be able to expand the effect if you paint only from the middle of the eye outwards.

Outline technique for small eyes. This is a technique used when you want to mark the expressiveness and make a line in the eyes. First of all, with your eyeliner you must make a very fine line and flush with the eyelashes from the middle of the eye to the outside. Then with a white or beige pencil we will paint the tear area and blur towards the area where we have not applied eyeliner. Thanks to this technique we will be able to give more light to the look and make the eyes seem larger than they are.

Mascaras. Mascara also plays a very important role in making small eyes appear much larger, so you should choose mascaras with volume effect and that provide length to the eyelashes. Before applying the mascara it is advisable to use an eyelash curler to comb and curve your eyelashes. Then we can apply the mascara always starting from the birth of the eyelashes, up and out. We must apply the mask with zigzag movements. Thanks to the mascara you will be able to cause the effect of almond eyes and larger eyes. Of course you should always avoid mascaras that are too dense, since your eye will be very saturated and in the end you will get the opposite effect. This will also happen in the event that you apply a mascara with lumps, so you should also avoid these masks.

Illuminator. The illuminator will also be your great ally when it comes to achieving the effect of larger eyes. The illuminator provides light, so it will give us greater amplitude. We must provide light in the area of the tear, under the eye and also in the area of means out just below the eyebrows.

Make up your lips. If you do not want to apply eye shadows, you can always resort to the trick of lips in bright color and mascara. The key is to have applied a good concealer and have blurred it correctly to cover the dark circles and possible stains. This trick will make your eyes appear much larger, plus you will draw attention to your lips.

Haircut. Of course, the haircut is essential when it comes to achieving greater proportion between your features. To get more proportionate eyes you can always resort to bangs. You can opt for soft, short and diagonal line bangs, one uneven, paraded, or even straight. The bangs will frame your gaze and make it the center of attention. One thing you should keep in mind is that the bangs should never be above your eyebrows, otherwise, you will get the opposite result to the one you want. Another option is also to paint wicks or reflections on the bangs. If on the other hand you do not like to wear bangs, no matter the reason, you can always resort to a layered cut, as long as when combing them these tend towards the cheekbones.

Full makeup for small eyes

First of all, the most important thing when it comes to making up your small eyes so that they look bigger is to cover the dark circles and eye bags very well, this we will do by applying a thin layer of concealer from the inside of the face to the outside and we will blur it very well. Hiding dark circles and bags is already a big step in making your eyes appear bigger. On top we can apply the makeup base if we wish.

Then we will use a very light beige shade and apply a little just below the eyebrow to give greater luminosity to the look. Now with a shadow in light earth tone we are going to paint the entire mobile eyelid, you can blur the shadow upwards, the banana area. Choose a slightly darker eye shadow (better in brown tone) and taking very little product apply with touches the shadow in the outer area of the eye, and then blur inwards and towards the banana area (the maximum area will be half of the eye, you should never exceed half of the eye with the darkest shadow, if not, we will not achieve the desired effect). In addition, when blurring the shadow, it should never exceed the eye excessively, and should not be below the external attachment point of the eyelashes.

Now with an eye pencil in brown tone we are going to outline the eye with a very fine line flush with the eyelashes. We will only make the line from the middle of the eye outwards.

Choose a luminous beige eye pencil and apply it to the tear. Extend this tone a little flush with the eyelashes (just the area that we did not paint before). In addition we can make the lower and upper water lines with this same pencil, so we will also be able to expand the look and show off larger eyes.

Use your eyelash curler to give them a nice, well-defined curve as well as to style them. Now I recommend that you use a mascara with volume effect, if you have one that at the same time lengthens and volume then it is ideal. We will start by applying the mascara from the root of the eyelashes upwards, and outwards and zigzags. Apply two passes to get the most effect. Apply a single layer to the bottom tabs, just to leave them defined, and the less product you use the better.

Now let’s apply the illuminator. As for the illuminator we can find them pen type, cream, bars, etc. there is a great variety, but to make the eyes seem larger I recommend that you choose some liquid, because it will not add thickness to your face and the eyes will seem even larger. We will apply a little of the product in the bone line under the eye, much better if you apply it from the middle out and up, also blurs the product well.

Finally we are going to paint our lips, we can choose a striking red color, or even with gloss to make the lips more striking and juicier. You can also use both textures, also getting the effect of fleshy lips.

If you follow these tips on how to make up small eyes or put into practice the complete makeup that we have shown you will get to show off larger and brighter eyes.
