5 things to avoid from makeup if you have small eyes

If you consider that you have small eyes and have tried to make up to make them appear larger, before trying again, pay attention to the following tips.

Makeup requires specific techniques and skills. Inspired by online tutorials we can think that it is very simple, do not get frustrated if something does not come out the first time.

It takes time, patience, and good cosmetic products to get a good finish.

1. Don’t get an inner line on your eye

The inner stripe on the eye gives the feeling of making it smaller. What this line does is that it gives a harsher look to the look. Therefore, outline only the first half of the eye to enlarge it. The effect will be instantaneous.

On the other hand, do not delineate it with very dark colors, use light colors to give luminosity and amplitude.

2. Don’t pluck your eyebrows too thin

The eyebrows draw our gaze and our eyes. Therefore, if you have small eyes, you should also focus on your eyebrows.

It is preferable to have bushy and well defined eyebrows. Do not overdo it if you have to pluck them, thin eyebrows will not help you to enlarge the area, nor will they make it more striking.

If you need it, fill them in with an eyebrow pencil of the same tone as your hair, you will create the sensation of density.

3. Do not use cream makeup concealers

It is preferable to opt for liquid correctors that are distributed over the face and eyelids in a more integrated and uniform way.

In addition, it is a product that prevents expression lines from being marked.

4. Beware of eyeshadow

Eyeshadow is a double-edged sword. It can help you or destroy your makeup. If you use very dark colors you will cause your look to be smaller and your eyes do not stand out.

We advise you to use more than one eye shadow and use complementary colors. Always paint the inner part of the tear duct in a lighter tone, so that the outer part is the one that gives it depth and dimension.

5. Use quality mascara

It is very frustrating to put on a mascara that creates clumps and clumps on our lashes.

Therefore, buy quality cosmetic products so that you do not have clumps or very thick eyelashes. This would make your eyes look smaller.

Tips for putting on makeup correctly in general

Finally, we want to collect some of the most common mistakes when applying makeup:

• Use a lot of eyeshadow and smoke excessively. The effect it gives us is that of a look with small eyes.

• Putting on a lot of makeup is also a very common mistake. Don’t go overboard with foundation makeup, eyeliners, painted brows, lipstick, false eyelashes, etc. Many times, the “less is more” premise is very true.
• Beware of creating a sad look. Don’t look for low lines, try to make the lines go up.
• A very thick eyeliner may not have the desired effect. Try to make it fine and elegant.
• Use very light tones and do not combine them with dark tones. Ideally, look for complementary colors and have the shadows blend. Not only with our wardrobe but also with the color of the eyes.

With these tips, the next time you want to put makeup on your eyes, you will  not make any mistakes. Do not forget to always buy quality products because the health of our eyes could be in danger.
