When we say everything is possible with makeup, we aren’t kidding. From getting a razor-sharp chiselled jawline to faking the much-loved doe-eyed look, with the right makeup products and techniques, achieving any and every look is achievable.
Makeup is all about creating an illusion. Even without naturally big eyes, you can create an absolutely fabulous doe-eyed look! If you are wondering how to make small eyes look bigger with makeup, you’ve stumbled on to the right blog post. Here are 8 handy tips that will help enhance small eyes with makeup.
A concealer is one makeup product that you just can’t do without. From blurring out imperfections to brightening, this makeup essential can do it all. Nothing makes small eyes look smaller than dark circles & wrinkles around the eye area. Wrinkles and dark circles make small eyes look more tired & droopy, and even sunken in some cases.
Before you begin your eye makeup for small eyes, your first step needs to be to cancel out the dullness of dark circles with a buildable coverage concealer. Pick a shade that matches your complexion, and follow up with your foundation to even out your complexion. Don’t forget to set it with a setting powder to avoid creasing.
While a thick eyeliner is a perfect way to make your eyes stand out and create a bold statement, this makeup tip does not work in favour of small eyes. When doing eye makeup for small eyes, make sure to stick to a thin eyeliner to avoid making your eyes look more sunken & small.
Another eye makeup technique for small eyes is to apply eyeliner only on the outer corners of your eyes instead of covering the whole of it. This will help make your eyes look wider. To create a thin, yet defined eyeliner look, use Simply Nam The Ultimate Kajal in the shade Ink Black using a thin brush to get a clean, sharp line close to the upper lash line. This is the best eyeliner for small eyes, thanks to its intense pigment that helps you achieve the desired look in just one swipe.
Another makeup technique for small eyes is to create a winged eyeliner to create an illusion of wider eyes. This not only helps enhance small eyes with makeup but also helps you create a sharp, yet clean look that is fit for any & every day and every occasion.
For those with small eyes, a lash curler & a volumising mascara are your best friends (we mean it!) On any given day, at any time, the easiest way to enhance small eyes with makeup is by curling your lashes & coating them with a layer or two of volumising mascara.
The Simply Nam Clean Lashes Waterproof Mascara is the best mascara for small eyes. The unique comb brush helps curl your lashes and avoid clumping, making way for smooth application with each swipe. Not to mention the length & volume it adds are perfect to enhance small eyes with makeup. To enhance them further, apply mascara to your outer lower lashes too.
For special occasions when you feel mascara for small eyes isn’t enough, go the extra mile and give false lashes a shot. Sticking on falsies every day can be quite a task, but for special occasions, take your pick from the Simply Nam Flawless Lashes range. From cluster to strip lashes, light ones for everyday use to heavy ones for special occasions, we have it all! Just stick them on and get flutter-worthy perfect lashes in seconds.
Just like how contouring, when done correctly, helps make the face appear more structured, doing the same for your eyes can also help them look bigger. When doing eye makeup for small eyes, stick to neutral colours to make them look open.
Weighing them down with heavy, dark colours will only make them look smaller & sunken. Use a brown eyeshadow around the crease of the contour of the eye area. Apply your eyeshadow slightly higher than one would usually apply and blend it up to your eyebrows to fake the appearance of bigger eyes. Blend it out well to create a seamless effect.
Pro tip: Use eye shadow around your lower lash line too, to enhance small eyes with makeup.
The best way to highlight small eyes is by using a shimmery eye shadow, because let’s face it, a little bit of sparkle makes everything better! When doing your eye shadow for small eyes, resort to a mix of neutral colours paired with the glam touch of shimmery shades. Shimmer eyeshadows reflect light giving an illusion of bigger eyes. Use a brush or use your fingers to seamlessly blend out your shimmer eye shadow for small eyes to get the desired effect.
From applying an extended winged eyeliner to playing it smart with shimmery & neutral eye shadow for small eyes, you can’t miss out on one last step: a dab of highlighter on the inner corners of your eyes. Use your pinky finger to dab a small amount of highlighter on the inner corners of the eyes to make them pop. Opt for any of the 2 shades of the Simply Nam Cosmic Glow Highlighter Duo to get it right. As a finishing touch, apply your highlighter on your brow bone as well to give your eye area a more lifted look.
Be it for your eyeliner or your waterline, steer clear of dark colours as they can make small eyes appear even smaller. Use a light or better, white kajal pencil to tightline your waterline when doing your eye makeup for small eyes. This helps make your eyes look bigger effortlessly.
Even for your eyeliner, choose jewel tones or slightly lighter colours like natural browns or even blues to make your eyes pop. Simply Nam The Ultimate Kajal in the shade Intense Brown is sure to come in handy in this case. Also, if your look requires a darker shade of eyeliner, create a very thin eyeliner with just enough to highlight your eyes.
