Makeup Tips To Make Small Eyes Look Bigger
Step 1: Use a Light Eyeshadow Base
The eyeshadow hack for small eyes is to apply a matte eyeshadow slightly above your natural crease to create the illusion of a higher crease. This helps the eyes appear larger and brighter. Apply a champagne or light beige shimmer on the inner corner of your eyes and center of your eyelid.
Step 2: Master the Eyeliner Technique
Avoid applying thick liner that takes up your lid space. Instead, go for a thin eye liner close to your lash line and a small upward wing to lift your outer corner. You can also use a gel kajal pencil to tightline your eyes for a fuller lash look.
Step 3: Brighten Your Eyes
Use a white kajal pencil on your lower waterline to make your eyes appear bigger. Using black kajal on your lower waterline can make your eyes smaller because it defines the shape and size of your eyes. White kajal will help create the illusion of a larger eye area, giving you a fresh and awake appearance.
Step 4: Choose the Right Mascara
Curled lashes are ideal for small eyes, so use a volumizing mascara that curls and lifts your lashes. Place the wand at the base of your lashes and move upwards in a zig-zag movement to coat each lash properly and avoid clumps.
Step 5: Don’t Forget the Brows
Well-shaped brows add definition and lift up your eyes. Use an eyebrow pencil to fill in sparse areas and create a natural arch. Brush up the eyebrows to blend in any harsh lines. Avoid making your eyebrows too thick or dark, as it can overpower your eyes and look unnatural.
