Introduction.
If you're looking for a way to make your eyes look bigger and rounder, try these tips from celebrity makeup artist Simone St. James.
Apply a Darker Colored Eye Shadow On The Back of Your Eyelids.
To make your eyes bigger and rounder, you can apply a darker
colored eye shadow on the back of your eyelids. Use a dark shade for this step.
You should also apply a light shade of eye shadow to the inner
corner of your eyes (the part closest to where you see yourself in the mirror).
This will give that area some definition and help it stand out from its
surroundings more clearly.
Another trick is to apply light-colored eyeshadow along either
side of each eye near its center point, as well as around both outer corners;
this will create an elongated look for those two areas which are usually not
exaggerated when using only one color alone!
Line Your Upper Lashes Heavily With Black Liquid or Gel Eyeliner.
Line your upper lashes heavily with black liquid or gel eyeliner.
Use a brush to apply the eyeliner and make sure you’re not using
too much product, as this can cause them to look cakey.
The best way to line your eyes is by first applying mascara on your upper lashes, then following that step with an eyebrow pencil along their outer corners; this will ensure that any liner makes it onto those areas and won't be too sparse or thickly applied in other places like underlines.
Cut The False lash Into Three Individual Pieces.
To make your eyes look bigger, cut the false lash into three
individual pieces. You can do this by using a pair of sharp scissors or an
embroidery pen—the end result will be the same either way.
Now that you have your individual pieces of false lash on hand,
it's time to apply them to the outer corners of your eye:
- Apply one piece
just above each pupil (i.e., where light enters) with a makeup brush or
another applicator tool like a spoolie brush; use short strokes and make
sure not to stretch out any fibers as you go along. This step should take
about 30 seconds total depending on how much space there is between each
piece and how much product needs applying at once; if possible avoid
pressing too hard when applying this portion so as not leave creases
behind!
- Repeat step #1
but this time place another piece under each lashes' root; again use short
strokes and make sure not only does nothing fall off onto other areas but
also don't press overly hard while doing so either!
- Start by
applying foundation to your eyelid and then set it with powder in a small
amount. Don't worry about getting this perfect—it's best to just get
started and see how things go from there.
- Next, use an
angled brush held at about 45 degrees so that it reaches all parts of your
lid evenly but softly enough not to create creases in there when you go
over them again later on!
Apply a Lighter Shade Eye Shadow to The Corner of Your Lid and Under The Brow Bone.
The second step is to apply a lighter shade of eye shadow to the
corner of your lid and under the brow bone. Lightly sweep this color down, then
blend it into the crease.
Next, take an eyeliner pencil and place it along your lower lash line as close to that top edge as possible (in other words: not at any point where there's already too much color).
Next, take another liner and draw on two small lines inside each eye (one for the upper half and one for lower half) so that they meet in the middle—this will help create a more defined shape for your eyes!
Create a Dramatic Cat Eye With Black Liquid Eyeliner.
To create a dramatic cat eye with black liquid eyeliner, follow
these steps:
Once the foundation is applied, take a pencil
brush (or finger) and blend out any harsh lines around the eyes or on top of
your lids.
You'll want this line as defined as possible so
that it looks natural when done properly (and not too heavy). In other words:
don't draw anything too thickly here; just make sure everything looks smooth
enough before moving on!
3-4: After lining both eyeshadow colors over top each other
without blending them together yet again like before - which means putting one
color right above another without mixing them together - then simply use liquid
liner along both sides starting at upper outer corner until reaching lower
inner corner area where two lines meet each other up against each other's edges
just slightly touching but still contrasting nicely against skin tone
underneath eyes themselves."
Conclusion.
If you are looking for a way to give your eyes that extra boost, I hope these tips have been helpful. Of course, there are many other ways to achieve this look but these three can be used on their own or together with each other to create an amazing effect.
I hope these ideas will help you
achieve the dreamy cat eye that you've always wanted!
