Eye Makeup Tips For Big Eyes
1. Smokey Eyes:
You might be on a routine of applying black eyeliner and eyeshadow, but it’s high time you try something new. Instead of using black eyeliner that is dated and harsh, you can use a rich chocolate brown or plumb liner with a shadow on top, it will give longevity and will look softer than a liquid black liner. See, that’s the point with big eyes, you don’t really have to worry about incorporating new shades or techniques. Besides, colors are more interesting and flattering too. Start building the drama in your eyelids by applying shades like greys or deep chestnut tones – which suits the shape the best – to the top of your lid and back into the hollow of the eye. Once done, take a smudge brush and blend the colours outward from your lashline to create a soft fade.
You can also opt for shimmery eyeshadows, which look wonderful on big eyes and instantly gives you a glamorous look. You can add the shimmer right under the brow and also in the corners near the eye towards the nose. Keeping the middle of the eye light gives a pop! Basically, you can apply any color which matches with your dress or lips. [ Read: Smokey Eye Makeup For All Eyes ]
2. Dark Eye Shadow:
A basic rule in eye makeup: The darker the eye shadow, the smaller your eyes look. And that is because the dark color recedes space and size. Pale, light colors emphasize and sharpen your facial features. So avoid dark colors and opt for lighter shades to give a shadow effect to your eyes. Brush up complementary darker colors into your eyelids to contour and dramatize your eyes. Dark eye makeup looks great when you use the darkest of shades for rim lining. The lining should be thin and close to the lash line. A heavy thick line is going to close the eye in appearance. A thin shadow on the lower lashes will give an extra hint of drama. A thin line will also make the look more natural. Also, if you want your protruding eyes to stand out, ensure to highlight your lower eyelashes as well.
3. False Lashes:
A strip of natural false lashes will bring your eyes out easily, so you can experiment and have fun if you want to go dramatic with your big eyes. However – here comes our favourite part – before applying your fake lashes remember to curl both your natural lashes and fake ones. You can use black mascara on the top and bottom lashes before adding the false lashes. It makes the false lashes look more natural due to the extra color and thickness. An eyelash curler is the most essential makeup tool for a woman, especially if you want to enlarge your eyes. This will help your lash separate and in return will add that perfect fold to the ends that will give a fuller effect. We recommend Shiseido Eyelash Curler – a simple reason behind your perfect ‘U’ shape lashes. Before you place the lashes on with the lash glue, put them on the lid of your eye to make sure that they are not too long. If they are, trim the ends. Once they look good to you, apply glue to the lashes and blow on them so the glue is ready to dry quickly. Once done curling your falsies, stick them on your eyes and apply – what we call our saving grace for makeup – a good mascara. We recommend Maybelline Great Lash Mascara, this can make your eyes look bigger and thicker in no time. Just try sticking 3-4 coats to the outer corners and bottom lashes of the eye to create a doe shape look. You can also over extend the corners of the lashes with mascara. Does Kajal look good on big eyes? Yes, Kajal looks good on big eyes as it makes them pop by defining the lines neatly. Does white eyeliner make eyes bigger? Yes, white eyeliner can make the eyes look bigger. When applied on the lower lash line, it lifts the eyes and makes them appear awake. But you may skip it if you already have big enough eyes and do not want to make them look too prominent.
