An article on the topic: "make-up to enlarge the eyes and expressiveness of the look. make-up instructions" from professionals.

And again, hello everyone!
I have one friend whom men (and not only) constantly say compliments. They even write poetry. And all about the eyes. Yes, her eyes are gorgeous. Large, expressive, radiant. As they say, you can drown. In fact, her secret is simple. This is not at all Eastern heredity and not even plastic surgery, but skillful makeup! And everyone can make “deep eyes” with a makeup brush and a jar of shadows. Read on if you want to know how makeup creates expressive eyes!

How to make expressive eyes makeup: instructions at home

To begin with, let's answer the question, which eyes can be considered expressive?

The answer is on the surface - those that express the deep inner world of their owner! Such eyes tighten, rivet, bewitch. A man is ready for a lot for the sake of SUCH female eyes!

Step one: Determine the strengths and weaknesses of the face.

The ideal oval of the face, the correct features and sizes? Congratulations, you are the owner of a classic appearance, the beauty of which only needs to be emphasized with cosmetics. Well, if the appearance does not correspond to the canons of beauty, it does not matter. Any problem is easy to solve.

Eyes close to each other? It will be useful for you to read the post about makeup for close-set eyes, which I will publish soon.

Eyes that are too round? Align the oval with the arrows, lengthen it.

Narrow eyes? Apply mascara only to the upper lashes, leaving the lower ones intact: this technique will visually expand the eye section.

Bulging eyes: we apply dark shadows on the moving eyelid, and light shadows under the eyebrow and on the lower eyelid. Eyelashes paint over both lower and upper.

"Heavy" eyes, as if the eyelids floating on the eyes can be visually “lightened” if you apply shadows of warm shades only on the corners of the eyes (internal and external), and leave the eyelid clean.

Step two: Apply the base.

Just as a house cannot stand without a foundation, so makeup will “float” without a foundation. High-quality foundation and / or powder should be applied to the face, and concealer or corrective pencil should be applied to the area around the eyes.

Opt for a concealer a tone lighter than your facial foundation for a more open and fresh look.

Step 3: Choose shadows.

When choosing a shade, remember the results of the first step of this instruction. So what shape are your eyes? If you have “perfect” tonsils, you can choose any, even a bright shade of shadows. Bright shadows look very expressive, but visually reduce the eyes, and must be applied very carefully. The main thing is not to overdo it and not become like a clown!

If you have small eyes - choose light shades of shadows, using dark ones only in the crease of the outer eyelid.

When doing daytime makeup, do not use mother-of-pearl shadows: they look out of place in daylight. And vice versa, they will shine in the evening, under artificial lighting.

I will dwell on the next point: many find themselves confused in front of a cosmetic store window, not knowing what to choose from the modern variety of shadows. Shadows liquid, dry, baked, in the form of a pencil ...

Each of these types is good in its own way. Liquid shadows and in the form of a pencil are usually available in a portable form, convenient to carry in your purse (retractable pencil, sticker, marker). They can be easily used in the ladies' room of a restaurant, office to touch up makeup.

But to create complex image they are unlikely to fit, as they are not amenable to shading.

baked shadows- a heat-treated mixture of coloring pigment and pearlescent particles. Such shadows are easy to apply and hold well on the eyelids, do not crumble and do not roll. More suitable for evening make-up, as they give a shimmer effect.

My choice is a palette of high-quality shadows in the usual format, from a well-known trusted manufacturer, bought necessarily in a certified store.

Step four: Apply shadows.

Now is the hardest part. It's time to get acquainted (if you are not already familiar) with the smoky eyes makeup technique, or eyes in smoke.

We apply shadows, as if enveloping the eyes with a haze: on the inner corner of the eye - the lightest shade, on the crease of the upper eyelid - the deepest, darkest. On the moving eyelid - medium tone.

Now blend until you get a hazy effect. Output dark shade outward and upward.

Step Five: Draw the "arrows".

"Arrows" will enhance the effect and add mystery to the look, as well as help to adjust the shape of the eye to the ideal.

Narrow eyes fail only along the upper eyelid, without going beyond the edges.

For round eyes, on the contrary, “arrows” are needed, tending to the temple, extending beyond the eye by 0.5 cm.

Bulging eyes are drawn along the contour both from above and below to visually reduce their size.

Be always beautiful!! makeup

The eyes are the mirror of the soul. Women use their eyes as a weapon to hunt down men who are powerless against female beauty.

What could be better than big expressive eyes with a captivating look? But not all nature has endowed with perfect beauty. Therefore, women adopt makeup to enlarge their eyes in order to get as close to the ideal as possible.

Eye enlargement methods

If your eyes are too small by nature, then you can enlarge them in only two ways:

Only plastic surgeons know how to make eyes bigger without makeup. Is it worth going under the knife for an unknown result? This method is often used by great actors, famous singers to create a stage image. But for ordinary women, this is too radical a way to attract male eyes.
To visually enlarge the eyes, women master special makeup techniques. With the help of the play of colors and their shades, you can achieve many effects that hide the natural imperfections of the face. With their help, the eyes become wider and more expressive. But if you focus on the eyes, then slow down the intensity of the lipstick color so as not to turn into a painted doll instead of a beautiful girl.
Perhaps to enlarge the eyes without makeup, without resorting to help plastic surgery, you can do it in another way - by shaping the eyebrows. But this method is often used in conjunction with makeup.

To make the eyes bigger, you need to shape the arches of the eyebrows by plucking the hairs from below, not from above. Here the rule applies: the greater the distance between the eye and the eyebrow, the better.

How to shape eyebrows - video:

It is necessary to take into account the shape of the face:

Round face - eyebrows with a smooth break.
Elongated - horizontal.
Oval - arcuate;
Square - with a sharp break.
The heart is arched.
Triangular - with an average break.

Pay attention to the thickness of the eyebrows: "strings" often make the eyes even smaller, but thick arches do not cope with the task.

A special brush for combing, as well as eyebrow pencils, will help to emphasize the shape of the arc. You need to take care of your eyebrows regularly, removing growing hairs in a timely manner.

Top myths about visual enlargement of the eyes

All girls like to do eye make-up, but not everyone knows the principle of its application. As a result, makeup does not paint the face, but spoils it.

Below is a list of the most common mistakes made by women with little makeup experience. Remember them and try not to repeat such mistakes.

To enlarge the eyes, you need to trace the contour of the inner eyelid with a pencil.

If you circle the inner eyelid with a pencil, then the eyes will become even smaller and narrower. For small eyes, such makeup is a disaster.

But there is one exception: this method is ideal for enlarging brown eyes.

The fact is that the brown color successfully contrasts with the black eyeliner on the white background of the eyeball. However, for fair-skinned female representatives, this trick is very dangerous.

Eyes can be enlarged with false eyelashes

False eyelashes cannot enlarge the eyes. They increase eyelashes. But in order to use false eyelashes, you need not only the appropriate makeup, but also a reason.

Their everyday use is tasteless and ugly, unnatural, if we are not talking about natural counterparts. They are several times more expensive, and hardly anyone can distinguish them from natural eyelashes.

Only rich makeup can enlarge the eyes

With heavy makeup, it is clearly easier to solve the task, especially if you use the technology of applying classic smoky makeup.
But you can not use this technique every day. Daily makeup should be light and casual. You can make big eyes even without a ton of paints and mascara.

The thinner the eyebrows, the bigger the eyes

Eyebrows are like a frame for a picture. If the picture is framed ugly, then it itself does not make an impression. To make the eyes appear larger, you need to choose the right shape of the eyebrows.
Thickness does not play a big role in this. However, critically thick or critically narrow eyebrows can spoil even the most beautiful picture.

Since light shadows enlarge the eyes, they need to be applied to the entire upper eyelid.

Indeed, makeup artists use pearlescent light shadows to enlarge their eyes. But this does not mean that they need to be applied to the entire surface under the eyebrow and on the eyelid: this will create the effect of tired and painful eyes.

To achieve the effect, it will be enough to apply light shadows to the inner corner, as well as to the center of the movable eye. Often lighten the surface under the eyebrow.

To enlarge your eyes with makeup, you need to acquire certain cosmetics. In the arsenal should be:

Ink eyeliner or contour pencil.
Shadows.
Mascara.

You will also need a set of brushes for applying shadows and blending them. A brush for combing and styling eyebrows will not be superfluous. So, how to increase eye makeup using this makeup kit?

Emphasizing the contour of the eyes

A soft contour pencil will help you enlarge your eyes.

If the contour line seems too sharp to you, then blend it to a subtle haze: this technique very effectively enlarges the eyes.

Opening your eyes, pay attention to the line drawn along the moving eyelid. It should not be too dark and thick, wide, so as not to narrow the eyes. You can also reduce the eyes with the help of a bold contour under the lower eyelashes. The expressiveness of the look is needed, but it needs to be achieved with rather thin and discreet lines.

When you outline the contour of the moving eyelid, keep in mind that the line from the middle of this eyelid to the end of the outer edge should be as thin as possible. This is especially true if eye enlargement is unthinkable for you without the formation of arrows. But the pencil should not be too dark or too light. Choose an average color saturation.

Makeup can increase the size of the eyeballs. To do this, use a white pencil to line the inner contour of the lower eyelid. But special effect can be obtained using flesh, gray or silver colored pencils.

How to use shadows?

Magnifying eyes make-up is unthinkable without shadows. But it is important to follow the technique of applying them step by step. Otherwise, you can achieve optical reduction, and not widening of the eye.

Remember two principles:

Dark shadows visually reduce.
Light shadows visually increase, but make the eyes discreet and inexpressive.

It is impossible to perform makeup completely light, so as not to make the look nondescript. But using dark shadows is also dangerous: there is a risk of narrowing your eyes even more.

There is only one way out: finding a compromise between light and dark shadows. Usually the outer corners of the eyes are dark, and the inner corners are light.

Eye makeup for enlargement is performed step by step:

1. First, shadows are applied, which are the basis.

In the shadow palette, the lightest shadow is the base shadow. It should be in harmony with the natural color of the skin. If the skin has a cold tone, then the base should have a pastel cold tone, for warm skin choose warm colors. For a visual lift of the upper eyelid, the base is applied to the entire moving eyelid and the skin under the eyebrows.

2. Then apply shadows that emphasize the contour.

To increase the size of the eyes with makeup allows a contour shadow that opens the eyes. It is applied to the crease, and then shaded. As a shadow-contour, shades with medium intensity are chosen. For a visual increase, it is not even necessary to apply a base, it is enough to darken the folds.

3. The process ends with the application of shadows-accents.

by the most bright color has a shadow accent, which is needed to model a moving eyelid. The color should match the color of the iris, but you can choose a color that contrasts with it. It is important to take into account the color of the outfit: the shadows should be in harmony with it. Shade accent shadows from the outer corner to the end of the eyebrow arch. This will help visually lift the eye outline.

Last touch with ink

How to make eyes bigger with makeup at the final stage?

This will require a thick black or dark brown mascara that does not have lumps and has a uniform consistency.
Do not experiment with colored mascara: it will visually narrow your eyes.

Before coloring eyelashes, it is desirable to curl them, but this can also be done during painting with a mascara brush. To do this, brush from the root of the eyelashes to the ends, bending and at the same time pressing them to the upper eyelid. This will help achieve the effect of wide-open eyes. The lower lashes also need to be well painted over.

This completes the eye makeup. It is unlikely that anyone could make it perfect the first time. Therefore, before a grand event, you need to leave time in order to practice.

So you focus on exactly this point, from which you can draw smoother and lighter lines along the upper eyelids.

3. We are not afraid to use a bright pencil or eyeliner

“Experiment with blue or purple eyeliner,” says makeup artist Laura Geller. Eyes magnify everything that seems bright. It is these shades of pencil, when used correctly, that give the eyes incredible depth.

4. For an open look, follow the “fold rule”

8. The classic smoky eyes technique will help make the look fatal.

The creation of any makeup begins with summing up the ciliary contour. Then, so that the eyes do not look too black, apply skin-colored shadows to the entire moving eyelid.

Blend these lines to give the makeup a smoky effect, and highlight the corner of the eye with white.

9. Line the eyes using only shadows

Make your eyes look fresh and open with the help of brown and pearlescent shadows. First, highlight the inner corners of the eyes with a white pencil, then apply the main shadows on the entire moving eyelid.

All makeup artists believe that the smoky eyes technique magnifies the eyes and is ideal for the overhanging eyelid. For brown and blue-eyed, it also looks very original, so we can say that there are absolutely no restrictions, except that it is only suitable for the evening. I propose to remember the main tricks:

2. Dark shadows paint over the lower and mobile eyelids. It is good to shade the borders. For a soft transition from black to beige, you can add some brown shadows to the border and work well with a brush.

Classic smoky eyes

Makeup should highlight beautiful features faces, highlighting them and making them expressive. For those whom nature has endowed with big eyes, do not worry - they just need to tint their eyelashes a little, and the image is ready. How in this case to be the owners of small eyes? You can draw arrows to enlarge the eyes and attract male attention. It is very simple to do this, you just need to stock up on the necessary cosmetics and take a moment of theory.

Why draw arrows

Eyes are a mirror of the soul, in addition, they are also a female weapon that slays men on the spot. Also in Ancient Egypt knew how much makeup changes a person’s appearance, just remember the wide arrows of Cleopatra. If earlier people also put a mystical meaning into makeup, then today make-up has become a way of expressing their inner world, the very soul, the mirror of which is considered to be the eyes. That is why expressive and bright make-up was not neglected by Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and other famous beauties.

Visual enlargement of the eyes not only gives femininity. The chosen type of makeup can tell a lot about its wearer: some try to achieve the image of a vamp, others look gentle and young. Any image is available if you pick up the right means and application method.

How to visually enlarge the eyes

Arrows for small eyes are applied depending on the chosen image and the external data of the girl. One rule remains the same for all options: the cosmetics used must be of high quality and resistant.

Cosmetics

Cosmetics for drawing arrows that enlarge the eyes are selected individually. The cosmetics market offers the following options for products:

Liquid eyeliner. It is sold in a jar with a brush that applies lines. They are clear, glossy, very graphic and expressive. In addition, such cosmetics have a high level of durability, do not flow or smear. It can be used both as a final touch of evening makeup, and as an independent accent on the eyes for daytime. The only drawback of liquid eyeliner is that it is hardly suitable for beginners. In order for the arrows to enlarge the eyes to be even and symmetrical, you will have to train for a long time.
Pencil. A simpler drawing tool. Far from everything is going smoothly with his durability - during the day you will have to repeatedly correct a smeared or faded arrow. This is especially true for girls with oily skin. An overhanging eyelid can also become an obstacle to maintaining the stability of the lines. If you first cover the eyelid with beige shadows, mark the arrows and “hammer” them with shadows of a dark tone from above, then such a make-up will last long enough. The advantage of the pencil is its softness, ease of shading. Drawn strokes will be neat, delicate and perfect for everyday use. day makeup.
Marker. An eyeliner option that has already managed to fall in love with many girls. Thanks to the tube, which looks like a regular marker with a hard core, you can draw neat thin arrows without any problems. They will not yield to those drawn with liquid eyeliner either in durability or in color saturation. However, the marker dries quickly enough, after about 1.5-2 months of use, you will have to buy a new one.
Gel eyeliner. A beauty innovation that is suitable even for beginners. A small jar of eyeliner, to which you will have to buy a brush, is useful for those who care about the durability of cosmetics. This product is very difficult to wash off with water. Unfortunately, this handy beauty product won't last long either - with frequent use, the gel eyeliner dries out quickly.
Shadows. Ordinary eye shadow, if applied with a thin brush, completely replaces any pencil and eyeliner. The resulting arrow will not be too bright and clear, the blurring of the contours will visually enlarge the eyes, which was required from makeup. If you want more color saturation, you can try to slightly moisten the shadows and apply them as an eyeliner.

Important! There is another interesting beauty product - dry eyeliner. It is similar to regular shadows and can be used as such if desired. If you moisten the dry substance, it will turn into a full-fledged, fairly bright eyeliner.

Tools

To draw magnifying arrows, you will need:

Mirror without magnification effect;
Pencil sharpener, which must be sharp;
Cotton swabs and sponges to quickly remove makeup errors;
Foundation and eyeshadow palette, which has nude, neutral colors;
A thin long brush that allows you to draw both thin and wide arrows;
A curved brush, the tail of which does not differ from the tip of a thin long brush, due to the shape of the handle it is more convenient to draw with such a tool;
Angled brush, which is indispensable in makeup. The thin edge allows you to bring the tip of the arrow perfectly even and sharp.

Which of these tools are useful depends on the features of the makeup and the habits of the girl herself. For those who want to try different options and work out the process of applying cosmetics, it is advisable to acquire all of the above.

Application steps

The arrows are the central part of the eye make-up. Their application is preceded by preliminary stages of makeup.

Applying cosmetics to visually enlarge the eyes step by step:

Foundation is applied to the upper eyelid. You can spread it with your fingers or a brush, as it will be convenient. The main thing is to carefully shade the remedy from the moving eyelid to the eyebrows. If the base seems too sticky, you can apply a thin layer of beige shadows or powder on top of it.
The outer corner of the eye is slightly darkened. To do this, at the edge of the eye, some dark shadows are applied to the eyelid, which are slightly brought up, beyond the orbital line, and sideways, to the temple. A light stroke of eyeshadow of the same color should be applied to the outer edge of the lower eyelid, blending them so that they cover about a third of the space under the lower eyelashes.
Where the border of dark shadows passes (towards the inner corner of the eye), apply a little lighter shadows. Gently blend, slightly going beyond the orbital line and smoothing the transition between tones. Shadows should be matte.
In the middle of the moving eyelid, apply some shadows with a shimmer, blend. This step will help refresh your eyes and visually expand the upper eyelid. To make the shadows play brighter, they can be driven into the skin with your fingers, without using a brush. If desired, you can add a radiant accent to the inner corner of the eye.
Next, you need to take a beige or light brown pencil and draw it along the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid. This is one of the main techniques to help make the eyes visually larger. It is not recommended to use a pure white pencil for this purpose - it often looks unnatural.
Twist eyelashes with a curler, add false tufts or properly paint over the hairs with mascara. Bright curled eyelashes visually open the eyes, making them larger.

Important! Having typed the shadows on the brush, you need to draw it along the back of the hand. This will help remove excess makeup, which, when applied to the eyelid, would inevitably begin to crumble.

How to draw arrows

When the preliminary stage is over, it's time to move on to drawing arrows. It is more convenient to do this when the eyelashes are not yet made up, so do not rush to take up mascara. First you need a pencil, eyeliner or shadows.

Pencil

Stages of drawing pencil arrows:

Take a comfortable position in front of the mirror. The elbow of the hand that holds the hand must necessarily lie on a solid support;
Draw a thin line along the lash line with a sharpened pencil. It is necessary to start from the middle, moving first to the outer corner of the eye, then to the inner;
On the outer corner, mark the tail of the arrow, drawing the line beyond the lash line and “raising” it up, towards the tail of the eyebrow;
Having removed possible irregularities with a cotton swab, it is necessary to carefully draw the space between the eyelashes and once again go over the arrow with a pencil, making it clearer and wider.

Eyeliner

Draw a line from the point to the outer corner. Then draw an arrow on 2/3 of the upper eyelid, along the lash line. You can bring the arrow to the inner edge of the eye, gradually making it thinner;
Take the eyeliner brush so that its tip is located towards the temple. Attach it to the edge of the line so that the imprint left fills in the gap between the tail and the main line along the edge of the eyelid.

shadows

Increasing arrows with shadows step by step:

Apply makeup base
Pick up dark shadows on a beveled brush and draw a line with it from the inner corner of the eye to the middle of the eyelid. Along the way, it is worth carefully hammering the inter-eyelash space with shadows;
Continue to draw a line from the middle to the outer corner, slightly expanding it.

Note! If the arrows with shadows turned out to be not too even and neat, you can shade them. This will hide imperfections and allow the eyes to visually enlarge.

Wide or close set eyes. In the first case, the line of the arrow must be continued to the bridge of the nose, without lengthening the outer tip.

A few tricks, for example, will help you learn how to visually enlarge your eyes with makeup. This method is ideal for evening events or a photo shoot, as well as for those who want to slightly correct their appearance with the help of cosmetics.

Basic rules for eye makeup

The eyes are the mirror of the soul. It is the look that conveys emotions, fills silence with meaning and is able to kill on the spot. In Asian countries, girls go to great lengths to enlarge a small slit in the eyes. In the course are special glue for the eyelids, false eyelashes and even plastic surgery. Girls with a European type of appearance were more fortunate. And for greater expressiveness, it is enough to correctly apply makeup that enlarges the eyes.

Before proceeding to the analysis of visual magnification techniques, you should know the basic rules of eye makeup. Used to enlarge the eyes different ways. But first of all, you need to prepare the face for the make-up. If you plan a dense make-up with an emphasis on the eyes or lips, you can’t do without an even tone of the face. Skin texture and color should be perfect. Otherwise, the makeup as a whole will look sloppy.

Don't forget about the undereye space. Concealer alone can't cover the bruises or redness under the eyes. The concealer works well for this. And also apply a base under the shadows on the eyelids. So the shadows will better convey the pigment, it will be easier to shade, and the makeup will hold on better.

In accent evening make-up the sculpture of the face as a whole is important. If you do not draw shadows in the right places, the face will look even, like a pancake. Walk with dark powder under the cheekbones, on the temples and on the wings of the nose.

Zoom in shadows

After the face is prepared, you can go directly to how to enlarge the eyes. At home, the easiest way to use the shadow technique. Absolutely any shades of shadows are suitable for this. It is only important to follow the basic rules of application. The algorithm for applying shadows in basic beige-brown shades is the simplest. These shades are suitable for absolutely any type of appearance. Just choose the right undertone of the shadows (warm or cold).

After applying the base and concealer to the entire area of the moving eyelid (avoiding the area under the eyebrow) the lightest beige or peach shade of shadows is applied. Use a highlighter to highlight the area under the eyebrow, the inner corner of the eye and the middle of the moving eyelid. In the fold of the moving eyelid, shadows are applied with driving movements that are a tone darker than the base shade. The transition boundary is well stewed. With the same shade, but using a thinner brush, walk along the border of the eye under the eyelashes. This will give additional volume and expressiveness to the look.

Tip: Use the fluffiest, softest brush available to blend your eyeshadow. The softer and smoother the shading is, the neater and more natural the make-up looks.

The darkest shade of shadows is applied to the outer corner of the eye. The geometry of the application is similar to a tick< >. That is, it is necessary to apply a tone not only on the eyelid, but also under the eyelash zone of the outer corner of the eye. Shade everything thoroughly.

Tip: when applying shadows, the movement of the hand should be smooth. Pick up some product on the brush. The shadows should be stretched, as it were, by shading to the temples, creating the correct almond-shaped shape.

Shadow technique helps to highlight the eyes, create the correct geometry and volume. Shadows can be used as a base stage when creating an expressive look.

Pencil technique

In pencil technique, you can work in two ways, depending on the type of pencil. If you use kajal (it's a pencil with a greasy base that is easy to blend), then such a pencil is suitable for darkening the outer corner of the eye or will be the perfect base for smoky eyes.

Tip: do not use a kayal to draw an arrow. The oily base of the pencil will not allow you to create clear lines, and the makeup will look dirty.

If a regular pencil is selected, use it to draw the ciliary edge. Necessary put the pencil rod literally between the eyelashes or as close as possible to the ciliary edge. Apply the pencil in small areas, as if with strokes. This technique will create the feeling of thicker eyelashes. If the pencil is persistent and hard, then it is suitable for creating an arrow with shading. This type of arrow is perfect for daytime makeup. The bottom line is that the arrow is applied in the same way as with eyeliner. But the outer tip of the arrow is a little underdrawn. And it is drawn out with a brush using the shading technique.

Tip: it is a mistake to think that the full drawing of the ciliary edge along the entire contour can visually enlarge the eyes. In 99% of the cases, this will greatly reduce them. Especially if the pencil is black. Do not bring the outline along the lower edge of the eyelashes to the inner corner. It is better to stop in the middle of the pupil, and shade the rest with a brush so that the border does not abruptly break off.

IN modern make-up one pencil alone is rarely used. It is quite difficult for them to create a basic shadow on the eyelid. And if there are no transitions and volume in the makeup, the eye looks flat and small.

Tip: in all cases, except for the arrow, the pencil must be shaded. Facial makeup does not like clear lines. It looks vulgar and unprofessional.

Using eyeliner

Eyeliner in the form of an arrow can deservedly be considered the queen of the evening look. There is no such shape of the eyes that the arrow would not fit. The arrow can be small and barely noticeable or regal, half a movable eyelid, classic black, colored, and even with glitter (these are small sequins). In a word, the choice is simply huge. Drawing an arrow is not the easiest thing to do. And certainly you should not start it two hours before a responsible event. It is necessary to fill your hand long before this. Because curves and different arrows- it's a fiasco.

draw perfect arrows ordinary paper tape or a band-aid will help. Glue a small piece of tape under the lower lashes. It is necessary to glue so that the adhesive tape sets the direction of the future arrow.

If the form is chosen correctly, and the technique is performed perfectly - arrows can take your makeup to the next level. Here are a few points on choosing the type of arrow for different types eye:

for close-set eyes, an arrow is drawn from the middle of the upper edge of the eyelashes and pulled as far as possible towards the temples;
almond shape will fit any arrow. Observe only the direction of the arrowhead. The tip should be parallel with the inner corner of the upper eyelid;
for wide-set eyes, the arrow can be slightly turned over the edge of the inner corner of the mucosa.

With the shape of the arrow, everything is clear, but we should not forget about the eyeliners themselves. Here are the most popular types of eyeliner:

3. Light shadows are successfully used in makeup for small eyes. Choose beige, light yellow and pinkish shades. Makeup for narrow eyes provides for a light eyeliner on the inner eyelid.

Make an arrow along the upper lash line with a pencil and blend it a little with a brush. Do not make the arrows too long and do not raise the ponytails high to the temples (unless, of course, you have round eyes).

5. Makeup for small eyes obliges you to comply correct technique applying shadows. Apply the darkest shade from the palette to the outer corner of the eye, the lightest - to the inner corner and under the eyebrow.
