Once you’ve given your lashes a good curl, start at the base of your eyelashes and wiggle the mascara wand as you move up to the tips. First off, use an eyelash curler before you finish your daytime look with mascara. No eye makeup for small eyes is complete without mascara and naturally, there are some suggestions I have if you want your eyes to appear bigger. This will elongate the eyes and make them more beautiful and defined. Draw a wing at the outer corners of the eyes and gently smudge it to make the look softer. If you want to use a pencil eyeliner, avoid contouring the entire lash line and carefully use back and forth motions to push the color between the lashes. The choice is up to you!įor a daytime look, the best way to make your eyes look bigger and brighter is to subtly shade the outer corner of the eye using a fine line. I’m not against white eyeliner, I just find it more suitable for a glamorous party look or a 60s makeup inspired look, rather than a daytime use. While you can still use white pencil to do this, I find it looks more natural and thus more believable when you use a beige pencil.īesides, no one has perfectly white eyeballs, so the beige pencil would counteract any broken capillaries and camouflage injected eyes caused by sleep deprivation or late night parties that you’ve attended.

One of the best makeup products for small eyes is a neutral beige eye pencil that you can use to line the inner rims of your eyes and make them appear bigger and really stand out. This attracts light to your eyes and makes them stand out more. If you are not too keen on using shimmery eye shadows on the entire lid, place some on the inner corners of the eyes, on the center of the lid, just above the pupil and on the brow bone, just under the brow arch. Frosty, pearly or metallic eye shadows will catch the light and make your small eyes appear bigger and brighter. Moreover, the dark hues around your eyes will have the same negative effect, so you must learn the art of camouflaging dark circles, by using an under eyes concealer to mask any imperfections and give your eyes a wide awake look.Īlthough neutral, matte eye shadows are great for small eyes, an even better option are eye shadows with a little shimmer.

If the eye area looks swollen, than your eyes will appear sunken in and even smaller. One thing you must always try to avoid is puffiness or dark circles around your eyes. This will fall into place nicely once you’ve elongated the shape of your eyes as well, in order to make them appear bigger.Īlso make sure that you don’t have any stray hairs around the eyebrow shape, because these will stand out when you apply lighter shades of eye shadow on your brow arch and draw attention from your eyes. If anything, your eyebrows should be a little more elongated at the outside corners, so fill them in using a brow pencil or gel to get the desired effect. If you have small eyes, it is important that they’re not too thick nor too thin, as to not draw attention from the eyes.
