5 makeup mistakes that people with small eyes often make

If you think you have small eyes and you are trying to use makeup to make them look bigger, check out these tips. Your specific eye shape means a lot.

It requires good technique and skills to use makeup properly. Despite how easily online tutorials make it look like at times, do not get frustrated if something does not go well for you the first time you try. It takes time, patience and good quality cosmetics, to get good results.

Makeup Mistake # 1: Using eyeliner on the lower edge of the eye

Applying eyeliner on the lower wet edge of the eye actually makes your eyes look smaller. It gives your eyes a “harder” look. However, applying eyeliner on the upper eyelid will immediately make your eyes look bigger.

Also, do not use eyeliner colors that are too dark; Use lighter colors to brighten your eyes (which help them look bigger).

Makeup Mistake # 2: Making Your Eyebrows Too Thin

Your eyebrows frame your eyes. So if you have small eyes, pay attention to what your eyebrows look like. You want thicker, more well-defined eyebrows.

Be careful not to over-pluck or wax the eyebrows, because thin eyebrows will not make the eyes look bigger, nor will they create attention around them. If necessary, fill them in with an eyebrow pencil t the same color as your hair to create the illusion of density.

Makeup Mistake # 3: Using Cream Concealers

It is better to use liquid concealer because it spreads more evenly over your face. Plus it minimizes fine lines.

Makeup Mistake # 4: Using Eyeshadow Incorrectly

Eyeshadow is like a double-edged sword: it can either help or ruin your makeup. If you use dark eye shadow, you will make your eyes look smaller.

We suggest using more than one color, ideally complementary colors. Always use a lighter color on the inside of your eyelid, close to your tear ducts, and use a darker color on the outside for depth and dimension.

Makeup Mistake # 5: Using a low quality mascara

It is frustrating to apply a mascara that is lumpy and that causes the eyelashes to stick together. Therefore, it is best to choose high quality cosmetics. Lumps and overly thick eyelashes will make your eyes look smaller.

Tips and other normal makeup flaws

Finally, we have compiled a list of other common makeup flaws.

• To use too much eye shadow and exaggerate the “smokey eye” style. The result will just be that your eyes look even smaller.
• To use too much makeup in general. Do not overdo it with foundation, eyeliner, eyebrow color, lipstick, false eyelashes, etc. “Less is more” is still a valid motto to follow.
• To draw downward lines. Make all lines go up to some degree, otherwise you may end up looking sad.
• To apply your eyeliner too thick. This can actually be counterproductive, so try applying it thin and elegant.
• To use light colors and not combine them with darker colors. Complementary colors are better, and this applies not only to your outfit, but also your eye makeup.

If you keep these tips in mind, your eye makeup will be flawless. Do not forget to look for high quality makeup too because the health of your skin and eyes depends on it.
