How to Imitate Bigger Lids with Makeup

Some girls have extremely small eyes, or eyes with hooded lids, which is worse if you ask me. The best part is that you can create an illusion for bigger looking eyes if you apply the right makeup technique. Let me show you such a design and you can decide if it is right for your eyes. Take a look at the steps and follow them one by one. Here we go:

 

• The skin of the lids can ruin the makeup by producing too much skin oils, which will smudge the makeup layers. In order to prevent such a disaster, you should apply a makeup primer on the lids before any application of makeup products. The primer has one very simple, but effective function – it absorbs the skin oils before they reach the makeup and ruin it.
   
• Once the lids are well prepared with the primer, you are allowed to apply the first layer of makeup (finally). Cover the lid with bronze color or something like that. This base color must be neutral and its shade must be close to the color of your skin.
• Then, take a colored eye pencil and draw a line at the crease or a little bit above it.
• Smudge this line with a brush. Try to create a winged end at the outer corner of the eye.
• If needed, reapply the color and smudge again, pull the color only to the brow, not to the lashes.
• Finish the look with a bold and winged eyeliner.
• Then, move to the bottom lid and apply the same color as the one at the crease area.
• Apply thick coat of mascara and enjoy this look. This is how you get a bigger lids with a simple makeup design. Enjoy it!

What's the Between Halal, Vegan and Green Cosmetics?

For Acne: Dab a few drops of lavender oil on any pesky pimple to reduce redness and inflammation

For Anti-Aging: Combine cleaned marigold petals with honey and milk for a soothing DIY facemask. This mixture helps plump up thinning and aging skin.

For Puffy Eyes: Moisten two chamomile tea bags in cold water and let them sit in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes. Once removed, place over your eyes for 20-30 minutes to reduce puffiness.

To Restore Hydration: To hydrate dry, irritated or cracked skin, infuse water with rose petals and lemon juice to use as a facial mist or skin toner.

For Stretch Marks: While aloe vera is known for treating sunburns, it’s also used to lessen the visibility of stretch marks. Apply aloe vera gel from a fresh plant directly to stretch marks to help heal those minor tears in the skin.

One Tutorial for the Perfect Eyebrow Shape

If you have outstanding eyebrows, you won’t need a glamorous lid design to make your face glow with a fascinating makeup design. 

 

 In fact, you should try something that is called no-makeup makeup. You will apply makeup on your face, of course, but the trick is to put it in a way that it will be invisible and not noticeable, which means that we will try to achieve natural effects of the facial parts that will be covered in makeup products. Let’s trace the steps and everything will become clear. Here we go:

• You must start with the face coverage. I recommend you to use a CC cream, but before that, prepare the face with a primer. We want the pores clean and fresh, right?
• Then, apply just a little bit of color on the eyes – black pencil on the top waterline to thicken the lashes and then, apply mascara. Nothing else. Well, if you want, you can enhance the crease with soft brown color or something like that, but nothing more.
• Then, move to the eyebrows. This is the most important step for the no-makeup makeup look. The brows must be perfect, they must mask the fact that you have other makeup products on the face, but yet, they must look natural – interesting job, don’t you think? So, line the bottom edge of the eyebrow and then fill in the brow with soft and delicate motions. Use the flat angled brush to apply the color. Then comb the brows with clean mascara wand to remove the excessive color. Smooth the bottom edge of the brow by applying highlighter. Smudge it with your finger or with a brush.
• Then, move to the lips. They must be natural too, so don’t choose anything too glossy for them. A simple, pink-tinted lip balm will be a great choice for this look. Voila!
