How to make your eyes look bigger?
Eyeliner, eye shadow, mascaras, so many essential beauty tools for a femme fatale look! But our eyes are not the only actors that play a role in thebeauty of our look . The eyelashes and eyebrows that surround our eyes are also very important. This is why it is essential to take care of them and highlight them with makeup or effective permanent techniques thatwill boost the natural volume of your eyelashes .
The importance of plucking your eyebrows properly
Eyebrow hair removal is an essential step to enhance your look . Be careful, however, not to overdo it. In general, your eyebrows naturally have a harmonious shape in relation to your face . It is therefore important to respect their original curves.
The goal of eyebrow waxing, whether done with wax, thread or tweezers , will be to resize certain areas of your eyebrow, in particular by following the famous three-point rule (also used when you apply makeup to your eyebrows).
Indeed, a correctly drawn eyebrow begins at a point called the " head of the eyebrow ". It is ideally located at the intersection between the straight line that starts from your nostril and goes up to your eyebrow. You should also be careful not to pluck the base of your eyebrow too much so as not to give an overly artificial effect .
Next, the second point will correspond to the arch of the eyebrow . This is where it is important to keep your natural curves and not to accentuate this arch too much, because this can give unwanted results that can be difficult to correct later. Finally, the tip of your eyebrow is its final point. Ideally, this corresponds to the line that starts from your nostril and passes below your eye.
A tip to enhance your eyebrows is to apply makeup . This intensifies your look and highlights it. To do this, it is important to choose a pencil in the same shade as your eyebrows. After defining the position of the three strategic points (head, arch and tip of your eyebrow), you will need to fill in the inside of your eyebrows with small, fine lines , then blend for a more natural effect. If your eyebrows are not very long, you can easily lengthen them by stretching the tip of your eyebrow using an eyebrow pencil. Finally, to finish, you can apply an eyebrow mascara , in order to extend the hold of your makeup.
How to effectively boost the volume of your eyelashes?
Your eyelashes frame your eyes, so it is essential to enhance them by boosting their natural volume.
The make-up
If you want to lengthen your eyelashes with makeup, your favorite tools will undoubtedly be mascara and eyelash curler . Here are the steps to follow for a makeup that will increase the natural volume of your eyelashes:
- Clean your eyelashes with the brush of an empty mascara wand that you have previously cleaned.
- Use your eyelash curler.
- Apply a first coat of mascara in a zigzag motion . Before applying the second coat, you can add talcum powder, then apply the second coat. Avoid applying more than three coats of mascara (at the risk of creating unsightly clumps).
Be careful, it is better to avoid putting mascara on the lashes at the bottom of your eye, or to do it sparingly, because it makes dark circles appear more pronounced .
Eyelash enhancement
This technique is suitable for all types of eyelashes , even short eyelashes. It allows a semi-permanent eyelash curling effect that can last between 4 to 5 weeks . It is best to entrust the realization of your eyelash enhancement to a professional. They will then take care of applying patches and several products to curl and give additional volume to your eyelashes. The eyelash enhancement can be complemented by the application of a semi-permanent mascara which will allow you to have eyelashes that appear made-up at all times.
Eyelash extensions application
For even more voluminous eyelashes , you can opt for eyelash extensions . Be careful not to confuse this technique with the application of false eyelashes (sold commercially), which is done with soft glue and can be removed with water.
Eyelash extension application, on the other hand, must be carried out by a professional . There are generally two types, 2D application and 3D application for even more intense volume. As with eyelash enhancement, the beautician will apply patches to protect your eyes and will apply the eyelash extensions one by one. An eyelash extension requires a refill maintenance every 3 to 4 weeks approximately and regular brushing of your eyelashes.
