What Are Small Eyes?

Small eyes refers to eyes that appear smaller compared to your facial features. While discussing them, we are not particularly going to focus on the abnormal eyes that are small caused by birth defect (or congenital malformation) of your eye orbit, a condition popularly known as microphthalmia.

What do Small Eyes Say about Your Personality?

In terms of personality, small-eyed people are considered very selective, organized and very thorough in whatever they do. Whenever they are dealing a problem, they will want it resolved immediately (there and then) before they can go to other things. Furthermore, whenever smaller eyed people are interested with something, they give it their whole soul and heart.

On their downside, people who have small eyes, tend to be clumsy in what they do and narrow-minded. If you have smaller eyes, it is good to ensure you open up your mind to possibilities and you be keen even to things that do not interest you, as they might be important.

  • Apply neutral or lightest shade of eyeshadow you are using on your eyelids, from lash line to brow bone. If you are not using neutral eyeshadow, go for light eyeshadow that is reflective such as white, peach, ivory, pale pink and yellowish beige.
  • Using a mid-tone eyeshadow, (few shades darker than your skin tone and it should be shadowy) create almost a ‘V’ or ‘<’ shape like shape towards your outer eye corners. You can exaggerate and go slightly above your eye creases.  To do this, you will begin by applying eyeshadow slightly beyond your outer eye corner and without touching your eye crease draw an arc (using a soft bristle large eyeshadow brush) that extends above your eye crease but does not go beyond your eye center. Blend the arc outwards both for your upper and lower eyelids. This stretches them outwards to your temple and creates and illusion of bigger ones.
  • Apply highlighter on your brow bone and inner eye corners. If you wish, you can dab a small amount of the highlighter on the middle part of your lower eyelids. Highlighter will help in opening your eyes and making the brighter.

Eyeliner for Small Eyes

How you will apply eyeliner for small eyes will be important in deciding if they will appear bigger or not. When applying eyeliner for small eyes, ensure it goes from thin to thicker as you apply it from form your inner to outer eye corner on your upper lash line and it extends a little bit beyond your outer eye corner. However if you have far set eyes that are small, you can use consistent thickness. Some people apply eyeliner only on their outer three quarter of their upper lash line.

If your lower eyelids are very small, you can forego eyeliner. However, if you have to use it, smudge black eyeliner or dark brown eyeliner on your lower lash line to make your eyelashes to look thicker and avoid taking too much eyelid space.

Most makeup gurus advise people to avoid liquid eyeliner because it can look very bold and quite overwhelming. People should instead use good brands of pencil eyeliner. Alternatively, you can apply your mid-tone eyeshadow as eyeliner on your lower lash line using the slanted eyeliner brush.

Finally, to make your eyes to appear bigger and brighter, ensure you swipe white eyeliner on your inner eye rims or waterlines. However, use just a single swipe to avoid getting the frost looks on your lower eyelids.

Mascara for Small Eyes
