The eyes are the mirror of the soul. Often the emphasis in makeup falls on them, but it is not always appropriate. Modern makeup trends have moved the eyes to the background, making room for the lips and especially the eyebrows, but you must admit that not a single make-up is complete without working out the eyelids and eyelashes. Makeup according to the shape of the eyes allows you to emphasize the "mirror" of any soul and visually correct its shortcomings.
How to determine the shape and position?
Take a mirror and sit down. It will take a few minutes to evaluate the shape, features of the eyes and choose perfect makeup to correct the appearance.
- Assess the distance between the eyes (their inner corners). If it is less than the width of one eye, there is a close-set type, if more - wide-set. If the distance between the corners is approximately the same as the width of the eye, proceed to the next step.
- Evaluate the eyes in terms of the depth of their planting. Deep-set, as if buried in the eye sockets and slightly shaded by the eyelid, which, by the way, is small and dark. Large bulging eyes have a wide eyelid, are like bulging and visible literally at first sight. If this item is not about you, then we recommend that you go to the next step and determine the shape of the eyes.
- Compare them to lips. Medium in size resemble the shape and size of the mouth (may be slightly smaller), have oval shape. Every girl or man will be able to identify slanted (narrow) eyes at first sight - they have a small width and an overhanging eyelid. The makeup of the Mongoloid eyes is significantly different from sunken or spaced. Now let's talk about the shape of the eyes, because it is equally important to take it into account when doing make-up.
- The monolid form is the most common among Europeans. It is distinguished by the absence of a noticeable crease on the upper eyelid and a fairly wide-open look (evaluate the shape in a well-lit room and at a right angle, that is, not from above or below, but look in the mirror directly in front of you). Open your eyes wide again and see if you can see the crease on the upper eyelid. If it is visible, then you have a “hood” - it is usually highlighted with shadows and lifted with the help of shadows.
- Evaluate the corners of your eyes and whether they are lowered or raised. To do this, it is enough to draw an invisible parallel or take a pencil (any other thin long object) and bring it to the middle of the pupil. If the corners are higher than the parallel, then the corners of your eyes are raised and “smiling”, if lower, then they are lowered (and “sad”). It happens that one corner is raised (external, for example), the second is lowered, then we are talking about asymmetrical eyes and the need to correct them using a simple makeup technique.
- The main two eye shapes are round and almond shaped. Look at your pupil - if you see protein above and below it, then your eyes are round, if the protein is clearly visible only on the left and right side, then you are dealing with the most common almond-shaped. The shape of swollen, deep, far-set eyes, asymmetric, slanting and others can be corrected with makeup. It will not be possible to change it by 100%, but it is quite possible to emphasize it favorably.
How to change the form?
This can be done visually with the help of cosmetics - the shortest and most affordable way to transform the eyes. There are two main eye shapes - round and almond shaped, but even each of them looks different depending on the shape and size of the face and other parts of it. The almond shape is considered ideal - gracefully elongated with raised corners, and every eye makeup technique strives to create it.
Arrows - black, brown, gray - will help to visually change the shape of the eyes - select the shade of the decorative agent to the natural color of the eyes and their size.
- To correct small eyes start drawing an arrow from the middle of the century - at first a thin line is drawn, which gradually expands and goes up. Replace the jet-black eyeliner with brown, green, blue, choose the opposite mascara, darker and with a glossy finish.
- To make wider and bigger eyes Asian type, use contrasting colors. First, draw a line with a dark (gray, brown) pencil over the crease of the upper eyelid - look in front of you and simply repeat the contour by lightly pressing the pencil. From the outer corner, draw a small line upwards with eyeliner or a pencil and connect it to the first one. This will create a new "open" form. Cover the moving eyelid with light shadows, the lower eyelid with dark ones. Do not forget about the liner, you can start drawing the arrow both from the inner corner (with a wide or medium setting of the eyes) or from the middle of the eyelid (if it is narrow).
- To correct bulging eyes, shadows should be set aside and use eyeliner or liner instead. Display a neat thin arrow and do not touch the lower eyelid.
Makeup allows you to bring the natural shape of the eye closer to the ideal almond-shaped, so the right shadows will transform any look.
Makeup correction
Small eyes
For small eyes recommended to use light shades with a pearly finish or liquid shadows with a glossy finish - they will add visual volume. On the inner corners, apply a drop of white or light pearlescent shadows and blend them to the center of the eyelids. Apply darker shadows to the outer corner and blend them to the temples and to the center, create a light haze and smooth transition from a light shade of shadows to a darker one. You can use eyeliner - start drawing a line from about the middle of the century and bring a clear arrow up, increasing its width gradually.
It is necessary to exclude dark matte textures on the entire moving eyelid - they will make the eyes even smaller.
What you definitely shouldn't do is outline them with black and especially draw the kayals - this technique will make them tiny. To make small eyes more expressive, paint over only the upper eyelashes with dark mascara and do not paint the lower ones.
"Heavy" eyelid
With the problem of the "heavy" age even young girls of Asian appearance or more mature persons encounter, and at any age it can be solved with the help of proper makeup. The technique of darkening the outer corner will allow you to correct the overhanging eyelid - put dark shadows on it, shading them up and darken the crease of the upper one - look in front of you in the mirror and draw thin line above the crease, blend all lines well. All strokes with a pencil or shadows should be directed upwards - this will visually lift the swollen eyelid. Makeup artists advise to further lengthen the eyebrows and not lower their tips down.
"Lowered" corners
They give fatigue to the overall facial expression and a drooping look. despite the high spirits. When creating makeup, it is important to bring the line of eyeliner or shadows up to the temples - this will visually lift the “lowered” outer corners. Apply shadows with the following sequence: light - in the outer corners, dark - on the outer, something in between - in the middle. Perfect Choice girls with “sad” eyes will become arrows, while they can be clearly drawn or shaded, like Marilyn Monroe.
Round eyes
It is necessary to visually stretch the corners with a line liner or using dark shadows that will go beyond the outer corner. In a word - choose arrows or shade a pencil, shadows to the temples and do not forget about darkening the outer corner. Paint over the upper lashes well and curl them up - they will visually create an almond-shaped shape.
deep-set
Save "drowned" eyes will allow a simple technique: Apply light eye shadow or a pearly finish concealer to the mobile eyelid and blend the cosmetics a little beyond its natural limits. Highlight the inner corner with a light, almost white pencil and draw an arrow to the temple. The emphasis on the lips will help get rid of sunken eyes - let them become the “face of the face”.
Do not forget about the eyebrows and draw a natural wide line.
convex
Big bulging eyes also need correction. Exclusively pearlescent shadows on the moving eyelid will make the eyes even more voluminous, so give preference to matte textures with dark pigment. Draw the eyebrow line a little further outside the outer corner of the eye. It is appropriate to emphasize it with a white pencil or a small amount of light shadows.
widely set
It is necessary to visually bring the eyes closer to each other and follow the main rule - brighten the outer corner and darken the inner one. This is the case when the eyeliner line can start at the very base of the eye - the inner corner and even go beyond it by 1-2 mm. The application of the shadow pigment begins from the inner corner and is shaded until the middle of the century, light shades are superimposed on the outer corner, their borders are shaded with a brush. To visually bring the eyes closer together, it is worth shaping the eyebrows correctly - draw a couple of extra strokes at their base.
close set
The bright owner of this form is the famous Hollywood diva Sarah Jessica Parker.. If you pay attention to her makeup, you can see that her inner corners of her eyes are always highlighted with light shadows with a pearly finish. In the case of close-set eyes, you can completely darken the upper eyelid with shadows with a glossy finish or choose a matte texture depending on the size of the eyes. All lines should be drawn to the temples, shadows, pull the liner upwards with a natural line without fanaticism - this will visually lift your eyes. Another important advice- you need to start the line of eyeliner and arrows from about the middle of the century.
slanted
Correction of slanting eyes is reduced to the minimum use of cosmetics in this area.- focus on the lips and work out the eyebrows well. Emphasize the eyes themselves with light light shadows and choose mascara with a natural curling effect, work out the outer corners and twist a little cilia in them.
How to choose make up?
In makeup, techniques have firmly established themselves that allow you to step by step and visually adjust the eyes and bring emphasis to a holistic look.
- Eye color plays an important role- for walnut, choose golden, bronze and any brown shades of shadows and eyeliner, for olive - lilac and purple (the last two are for a cold skin tone) or universal colors - green, brown. For blue eyes choose classic contrasting shades - gray, dark blue and unusual colors - orange, pink, for gray - lilac, cold turquoise and blue, light gray and brown.

Spring is everything warm colors from beige and brown to green, winter - cold pinks (even on the eyelids), gray, blue, autumn - red, brown pigments and black.
Do perfect legs exist in our world? We see them in glossy magazines, in retouched advertising shots of tights manufacturers ... but do we meet in real life? Not as often as we would like! Therefore, the owners of crooked legs have to correct their clothes. Fantasy tights, with which stylists do not like to experiment so much, can turn out to be a lifesaver in this matter - because it is very difficult! But well, let's start!
How to fix too "muscular" legs with pantyhose
In curvy girls, the legs may seem too muscular, as if their owner overdid it in the gym, squatting with a barbell on her shoulders. In fact, nature rewards girls with such legs. There is nothing wrong with such legs, and in addition to the legs, there are other outstanding, beautifully designed parts of the body. But, if you want to have legs visually thinner, then we will use unusual tights!
Girls with seemingly "muscular" legs should first of all avoid cheap fishnet tights - they warp and visually disfigure the legs. It often happens that the pattern moves out on only one leg, and then others observe a completely comical picture.
There is no need to make another common and gross mistake - to pull on tights in a vertical strip or tights with an arrow at the back. On such legs, the tights will definitely warp and the legs will appear crooked, and not “curvy”.
A good option is tights of this type, when the front and back (or front, back and side) parts are separate areas that differ in density:
A universal option for non-ideal legs - tights with an asymmetric pattern:
as well as with a complex, ornate pattern, the distortions of which will not be noticeable:
How to fix thick legs with pantyhose
Thick legs are relatively even, and sometimes with rolls of fat at the ankles, above the knees. To smooth out all these irregularities in the eyes of others, we will resort to the help of tights with small polka dots.
How to fix crooked and thin legs with pantyhose
Thin people are not always enviable. Their thin legs may appear crooked, even if they are not. However, the slightest nuance, whether it is the desire for an X-shaped or an O-shaped shape, is noticeable at first sight. To correct such legs, tights with optical effects. For instance:
As well as tights with a complex pattern:
Tights with an abstract pattern:
Tights in large polka dots or with a pattern assembled from other large elements:
Pantyhose with imitation stockings are best avoided, but as an alternative, you can try these:
Tights with a pattern work especially effectively. as if twisted in a spiral along the legs:
Oroblu Delight - thin sheer tights with large leaf motifs
Oroblu Gritty thin tights with chevron geometric pattern
Also, a good effect is obtained with tights with an asymmetrical pattern.
Let's summarize! To correct imperfect legs, whether they are full or thin, with varying degrees of curvature, the following should be avoided:
- tights in thin or medium vertical stripes;
- tights with imitation stockings;
- plain tights;
- fishnet tights;
- tights with a repeating motif (for example, in a flower).
You should choose:
- tights with asymmetrical patterns;
- tights with optical effects;
- tights with complex, ornate patterns.
Stockings and tights have an interesting effect: as they stretch, they become lighter. Light areas visually increase the volume, dark areas reduce it. This means that the stockings increase the contrast of the volume of the legs: the wide sections look even wider, and the narrow ones even narrower. This makes the heart beat faster.

Large, contrasting, dark furniture will "eat up" the space.
The main magnifier of space in the house is a mirror. Located from floor to ceiling will make the room taller, and on the ceiling - will add volume.

Large eyes in many peoples of the world are considered an important indicator of beauty, and especially female. But we are born with a different appearance, including the shape of the eyes, a certain heredity: they can be huge, open and deep, “like the sky”, or small, deep-set, narrow and inexpressive.
It is not difficult to change the shape of the eyes now - you can also do blepharoplasty, but, fortunately, you can visually enlarge your eyes with the help of modern cosmetics. This method, in contrast to operations to increase the incision of the eyes, is temporary, but not radical, without "interference with nature" and any complications. And the possibilities for creativity here are simply endless: today you can use one way to visually enlarge your eyes, tomorrow another, and then combine everything you like, surprising and shocking those around you with the eccentricity and expressiveness of your look.
The play of light in the area of eyebrows and eyelashes
There are different ways to visually enlarge the eyes. For example, this one: in a light tone, highlight the inner corner of the eye and the area above the upper eyelashes, and the outer corner and a small part of the crease of the eyelid from the outside - dark.
Shades of contrasting colors
In the same way, in order to visually enlarge the eyes, you can apply shades of contrasting tones, combining pink with green, blue with orange, and yellow with rich lilac, but you should be more careful here.
So, in the latter case, warm colors will be good, with a barely noticeable presence of red hues: it will turn out both effectively and harmoniously.
Illumination of the area under the eyebrows
Highlighting the area under the eyebrows also visually enlarges the eyes, but this should be done gently and easily, gently blending shadows or a pencil of various shades with a brush: the colors should “transition into one another” smoothly and imperceptibly, and look as natural as possible on the eyelids.
Contour eyeliner
As a rule, it is not recommended to draw a line above the lower eyelashes, along the mucous membrane, in black in order to visually enlarge the eyes, although everything is individual here. In some methods, it is a black pencil that is used, but very moderately so as not to get the opposite effect - reducing the eyes. In general, a contour pencil should look harmoniously in combination with the color of hair and eyebrows, so it is chosen a tone (sometimes two tones) darker.
Using a pencil, you can change the contour of the eye, outlining it so that the eye is visually enlarged. On the lower eyelid, slightly retreating from the eyelashes, it is necessary to draw a line that is not curved, but more even and straight than the natural contour of the eye, and soften it by shading it with a soft, thin brush. And along the upper eyelid, a dark arrow is drawn, lengthening the eye - it goes beyond the outer corner and stretches to the tip of the eyebrow; the arrow can be shaded or left clear - here you need to experiment, “to whom it suits”.
Gives freshness and volume to the look White color: gently draw a line above the lower eyelashes with a white pencil - from the outer corner of the eye to bring to the bridge of the nose.
Long lash curls make eyes look bigger
Long, curly lashes are also important: they can make your eyes look bigger. If necessary, you can use not only a brush or tweezers for twisting, but also special thermal curlers with a gentle effect - a wonderful “beauty device” that has appeared not so long ago. The tips of the eyelashes at the outer corners of the eye, when twisted, are directed to the temples.
Wide eyebrows make the eyes look smaller
Overgrown, wide eyebrows make the eyes visually smaller, but this does not mean that they need to be plucked to the “thread” state. It was fashionable before, and now naturalness is in fashion, but the lower part of the eyebrow should be even and neat - this is where the hairs need to be removed. The graceful upward curve of the eyebrows makes the eyes look visually larger.
The best techniques for visually enlarging the eyes
Enlarge eyes with shadows and liquid eyeliner
You can visually enlarge your eyes with the help of shadows and liquid eyeliner, but with high quality, so that the look does not become “heavier”. Carcasses can be used at least if you stick false eyelashes: it is not recommended to paint them, although you can if you wish. First, peach or light beige shadows are applied to the upper eyelid, and on top - shadows of the same color, but darker - they are shaded to the tips of the eyebrows. Then - again light shadows, on the entire upper eyelid, to the very eyebrows. The lower eyelid is highlighted with shadows of a dark tone: it is enough to draw a brush once to expand the area of \u200b\u200bthe eye. On the upper eyelid, an arrow is drawn with a liquid eyeliner, elegant and thin, and eyelashes are glued. The lower lashes remain as they are, but they can be lightly touched with dark mascara.
False eyelashes visually enlarge the eyes
False eyelashes can really be dyed if you want. There are even tricky ways to do this easily and quickly: for example, using a regular spoon. A tablespoon or dessert spoon is applied with a convex side to the eyelashes, and mascara is applied on top: this is how false eyelashes “mix” with your own, and look as natural as possible.
Raised eyebrows
You can “open your eyes” by raising your eyebrows with a dark pencil - especially towards the temples. The upper eyelids and inner corners of the eyes are painted over with light shadows, the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid is outlined with a white pencil. On the upper eyelashes apply several layers of black mascara, and the lower lashes are stained with mascara once.
Extended thick eyelashes
Eyelash extensions help visually enlarge the eyes. The next method is also with extended eyelashes, thick and black.
First, shades of saturated beige-gray shades are applied to the upper eyelid, then the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid is brought in with a black pencil, very thinly, otherwise the eyes will appear even smaller. A small amount of the same shadows are applied to the lower eyelid. The corners of the eyes are highlighted with a white pencil, light pearlescent shadows or a highlighter - pointwise. Apply eyelashes.
bright shadows
The use of bright, rich contrasting tones also makes the eyes look bigger. So, blue shades can be used by women with different eye colors: they give the look depth, mystery and expressiveness. Light blue shadows are applied to the upper eyelid, then an arrow is drawn with a brown pencil: from the outer corner of the eye up to the beginning of the crease of the upper eyelid, then turn and draw a crease towards the inner corner of the eye, gradually making the line thinner - such arrows are called girdle.
Further, the arrow from the crease of the eyelid is shaded in the direction of eyebrow growth, and from below, to the arrow forming the border, saturated pink shadows are applied to the outer part of the upper eyelid - brighter towards the outer corners of the eye. With a black pencil, draw an arrow along the upper eyelid, along the lash line, lift it to the outer corner and make it thicker. Glue the upper eyelashes, draw a thin black arrow along the lower eyelid. Below, fine brush, thickening the line to the outer corner of the eye, apply rich blue shadows.
Makeup Features
Long and fluffy eyelashes seem very attractive to many women, but they are better used as a decorative option for a theater or restaurant: their eyes look like puppets.
Apply layers of mascara carefully, otherwise the eyelashes will appear heavy and thick, and the makeup will look vulgar. Often it depends on the brush: for the effect of big eyes, choose a high-quality curved silicone brush, complete with lengthening mascara. Do not get carried away with mother-of-pearl shadows: they can only be applied to the inner corners of the eyes, under the eyebrows and in the middle of the eyelids.
