Small Eyes

Are your eyes smaller than average when compared to your other features? Then, you need to focus on making them look larger.

• Eye shadow - Use a light shade of eye shadow, maybe your skin colour. Brush over entire lid, right from the lashes to the brow bone.
• Eye liner - Use a darker shade of eyeliner along your upper lid. Extend a little beyond the eye.
• Mascara - Use lightly on your upper lashes.

Caution

Don`t draw dark lines around your entire eye. It will produce a boxed in, closed effect and make your eyes look smaller. You need a light open-out effect that will make your eyes look bigger.

Large Eyes

Sometimes, large eyes with prominent upper eyelids tend to look bulgy. You need to counteract that effect.

• Eye shadow - Use a light shade across the brow bone. A darker shade should be used on the lids. Extend beyond the outer edge of the eye.
• Liner - Subtly use a liner beyond the outer edge of the eye. This gives a more elongated look.
• Mascara - Concentrate your mascara on the lower lashes.

Wide SeT Eyes

Are your eyes too wide apart? You can make them look closer together with some artful make-up.

• Emphasise the inner part of your eyes.

• Eye shadow - You need two tones. Use the lighter shade on the outer area of your eyelids. The darker shade should be applied on the inner area of the eyelids.
• Blend gently in the middle to get a soft gradation of the two shades.
• Liner - Draw the liner around your eyes, including the upper and lower lids.
• Eyebrows - Emphasise the inner part of your brows by darkening it.

Caution

Do not elongate your brows or eyes by extending your make-up beyond the natural eye area.

Close Set Eyes

Eyes set too close together don`t always look attractive. Emphasising the outer half of the eye can counteract this.

• Liner - Line the outer half of the eye with a dark colour. A lighter line on the inner part is also required. Extend the dark liner beyond the eye.
• Eye shadow - Use a light shade on the inner part of the eyelid.
• Eyebrows - Darken the outer part of your eyebrows and elongate them a little.
• Mascara - Should be used more heavily on the outer lashes. The inner lashes need only a light delicate touch.
