Many believe that perfect eyes are ninety percent of a woman's beauty. But there is no perfection in the world, so this part of the face often needs to be corrected. Makeup is the tool that can turn Cinderella into a princess. But if it is used incorrectly, then the opposite effect is possible. We offer you to figure out how to correctly bring your eyes up. You can adjust their shape and bring it closer to the ideal, or you can increase the size.
How to correctly line your eyes (correction of their size)
Some lucky ones are interested in how to make big eyes, because beauty is harmony. For size correction, it is the bottom eyeliner that is very important. If the eyes are small, it is better to refuse it altogether, or limit yourself to the thinnest line clearly at the base of the eyelashes, or lower, and not solid, but starting from the middle. Dark eyeliner is strongly not recommended. But the use of kajal and a dark pencil no higher than the lash line is really a good option, opening your eyes.
Owners of large eyes can circle them almost completely. Solid eyeliner from the bottom along the water line, starting from the inner corner to the outerwill make expressive look of any beauty.
How to properly line your eyes (correction of bulge or deep planting)
In this case, we are not talking about the size. Although it is clear that bulging eyes will appear larger than deep-set ones. But if the eyelids cover the iris, then the eyes can be considered deep-set. They need to be summed up extremely moderately, using light shadows. If whites are visible from under the eyelid, the eyes can be called bulging. However, this does not mean that it is not necessary to emphasize the lash line at all. You just need to give up a clear and bright graphic eyeliner, it is better to blend it gently so that it seems that the eyes are framed by thick eyelashes. For bulging eyes, a discreet style is recommended. Excessively bright eyeliner will draw attention to them, but the flaw will not correct. On the other hand, the lack of eyeliner and overly light shadows will increase their relief and bulge. Therefore, you should stick to the golden mean: eyeliner and makeup should be in neutral colors: not very bright, but not too pale. You can also use false eyelashes - they make the eyelids heavier and visually make the eyes languidly closed (pay attention to the makeup of Marilyn Monroe).
How to correctly line your eyes (correction of the distance between them)
If the distance between the eye sockets is equal to the length of one eye, then some special correction is not needed: everything is perfect. If it is smaller, as often happens, then the eyes are considered close-set. If the distance is greater, then they say that the eyes are widely spaced. So, in the first case, the goal is to increase the distance between the eyes: to make the area between them as light as possible. It is better to start the eyeliner from the middle of the eye and make it bright from the outside, perhaps shade it. In the second case, in order to reduce the distance between the eyes, the eyeliner starts from the very edge of the inner corner, and it is drawn thickly at once, and gradually becomes thinner towards the outer edge. True, the shape of the eye should also be taken into account.
How to properly line your eyes (eyelid correction)
The eyelid can be harmonious, overhanging or sunken. Let's talk about the last two. It is better for owners of overhanging eyelids to refuse eyeliner altogether, or to limit themselves to the thinnest lines as close as possible to the lash line. You can also paint over the space between the eyelashes with a pencil, then the need for eyeliner will disappear. Curly arrows are also suitable, which are drawn in such a way that they appear even when the eyes are open.
As for sunken eyelids, here, on the contrary, bold lines are recommended above the upper eyelid: this will "eat" the extra distance.
How to line your eyes (correction of lowered or raised corners)
Down corners are a common problem for women with bulging eyes or older women. In this case, the arrow along the upper eyelid should smoothly bend upwards so that the tail playfully wraps towards the end of the eyebrow.
Darkening the outer corner is contraindicated, because this will make the eyelid even heavier. The best makeup is light shadows and eyeliner. Fashion cat arrows are recommended. You can also line the lower eyelid, starting from the inner corner and ending towards the middle of the eyelid.
Eyes with high corners are also called slanting. Owners of such eyes will be useful to carefully study the makeup style of Audrey Hepburn. And although she tried to enhance the effect of "cat's eyes" by bending the tip of the arrow up, still something can be taken into service. Namely - the thickness of the eyeliner. The arrow on the upper eyelid should be quite thick, and its widest part should be either on the inside of the eye, or in the middle, but not from the outer corner. As for the lower eyelid, on the contrary, you should focus on the outer corner: the eyeliner should be thicker here.
How to bring round eyes (shape correction)
Such eyes must be summed up and down. If you limit yourself to only the top eyeliner, they will appear even more round. Feel free to draw bright and clear lines, bringing them as close to the eyelashes as possible. From below - along the water line (now you can purchase special eyeliners that do not irritate the eyes). Both the top and bottom lines need to be connected from the outside, and if the distance between the eyes allows, then from the inside - this will visually make the shape narrower. All lines smoothly stretch to the sides, and the tail should go far enough. Sometimes it even makes sense to leave a triangle of skin on the outside, drawing an eyeliner beyond the border of the eye. The arrow should thicken and narrow so smoothly that it is impossible to noticechanging its thickness.
How to line narrow eyes
A common mistake is to bring narrow eyes close to the eyelashes. This makes them even narrower. Owners of this eye shape should draw a stroke just above the lash line. And in no case do not connect it along the upper and lower eyelids from the outer corner. In addition, you should not paint your eyelashes with mascara, it is preferable to curl them to make the look more open. It is better to abandon the use of bright black eyeliners and give preference to gray, brown and colored pencils. There are several options for narrow eyeliner:
- The contour is drawn completely from above, from below - only one third from the outside. From the inside, the lower eyeliner is not drawn.
- The contour is applied from above, barely noticeably stepping back from the lash line, and then shaded.
- Draw a thin clear line along the upper eyelid, but make it noticeably thicker in the middle.
You can draw narrow eyes without continuing the contour along the entire lash line, but only where they need to be expanded: in the middle, slightly shifting to the outer or inner corner.
There is another important nuance in how to properly line your eyes. The photos for this article clearly show that the proverb "drawing an eyebrow, do not gouge out your eyes" is absolutely true. All the features of the eyes that need correction are often combined with each other. For example, the eyes may be prominent, close-set, and slightly drooping at the corners. In this caseit is necessary not to focus on only one shortcoming, but to combine correction methods, also taking into account the features of the face.
