Procedure how to enlarge small eyes with makeup
1. Lighten the arch of the eyebrow
Your eye will look bigger if you highlight the arch of the eyebrow; You can do this by applying an illuminator in that area or white shadow. Also remember to make up your eyebrows very well, if you naturally lack said arch. If they are natural and you do not need makeup, comb them with transparent eyelash to accentuate their shape. (The above is one of the tricks that you may not have known that you can do with this product).
2. Put shadow on the eyelid
Next, apply nude-colored shadow all over your eyelid; make sure the shade you chose blends with your skin color. Then, put white shadow on the mobile eyelid and blur both shades with a brush.
3. Shade the outside of the eyelid
Next, make an imaginary line starting from the outer part of the eye, as if it were continuing, and mark it with a micropore tape. This tape will be the guide to apply the dark shadows, which can be brown, gray or black. With the help of a brush, make a V with the tip on the outside and its two ends towards the inside of the eye (>). Remove the tape and blend with a brush. Use an angled brush to make a line on the outside of your lower lid, but only halfway out.
4. Apply eyeliner
Next, line the inside of your eye (or water line) with white pencil. We do not recommend doing it with a black pencil, as this makes the eye look smaller; in fact one of the makeup mistakes that age and make you look older consists of outlining your lower eyelid with dark colors, as they make you see more «crow’s feet».
5. Apply lash
Finally, apply eyelash. For a better enlarging effect, we recommend applying it upwards, and not outwards.
We found a video that explains the process. The youtuber uses contact lenses, but this technique enlarges your eyes even if you don’t wear any glasses.
