Makeup tricks for small eyes

Makeup tricks for small eyes

A lot of people often struggle making their eyes appear bigger with makeup and never know what products to avoid when doing this, that is why I have put together the number one makeup trick for people with small eyes.

To make your eyes appear bigger and stand out, WHITE eyeliner is simply the trick. Black eyeliner can make eyes looked closed up when placed in the waterline especially if you are wearing a dark smokey eye.

Natural product?
My go to product for a natural white eyeliner is NYX jumbo pencil in milk, it doesn't look over the top and can simply be worn with minimal makeup during the day.

Here is a before and after picture of what the product looks like when placed in the waterline and inner corner of the eye.

Dramatic product?
If you have a more dramatic makeup look on for a night out, I would recommend the Inglot eyeliner. This is a very bright white and would instantly stand out from the dark eye shadows you have used on your lid, making your eyes look bigger yet still dramatic. Place this in your waterline with a thin liner brush.


How to make it last?
To make the liner last through the day/night simply use a white matte eyeshadow and a small flat brush and place it above the eyeliner in the waterline with small movements. This will make the liner stay put without affecting the original product too much, I use a flat brush which was just a eBay brush and my white/cream matte eyeshadow from my morphe 35N eyeshadow pallet. 


I hope this makeup trick has helped you to make your eyes look bigger, but this makeup trick can simply be used for anybody wanting their eyes to stand out more.
