Eye Make up For small eyes

Hello!

 

Small eyes , present a challenge to do makeup on because with no makeup , they might not look prominent on the face, and with the incorrect amount of makeup, they can look even smaller!

Eyeliner for small eyes

• Avoid lining the inner rim of the lower lashes .
• Line on the outside of the lower lash line, leaving a gap between the liner and the lower waterline.
• For an even brighter wide eyed look- line the inner lower rim and inner corner with white eye pencil. This gives an instant wide eyed look (not shown in pics here)

Eyeshadow for small eyes

• Avoid dark colours- they make eyes look smaller . Avoid- dark browns, blacks, navy blues etc


• Wear lighter shades that reflect light to make eyes appear bigger- shimmer is a good option. Go with lavenders, golds, silver, cream, light browns, soft greens, etc
• Always highlight the brow bone (the area just under the arch of the eyebrow), with a light colour (white/silver etc). This draws attention to your eyes.



Darker shades recede the eye further



Lighter shades reflect the light and make eyes stand out

Mascara & Eyebrows for small eyes

• Apply heavier coats on the outer lashes and softer to the inner lashes (same funda as the extended liner)
• Shape Eyebrows so that they are thicker in the middle and thinner on the outside
